LDN Blue

I used to think this was a bad idea because it could shake their confidence blah blah.. But how much worse can it get?! Even if if it's a run of 2-3 games then to the bench, then bring him back etc. It can't be bad for him, any experience is good experience! Alas you're right.. The club would never do it. Unless he cost £100m.

Fuck sake, should've just used him today.

Didn't you watch Arsenal the other day?

You know what's amazing.. It wasn't so long ago that we'd have never entertained the idea of selling an effective player of ours let alone to a direct rival. Roman's direct interference was the result of that because it's been well documented if Mourinho had his way Cech wouldn't have gone there. Now it's perfectly acceptable. Baffles me.

Yea I don't dispute that, but I think under normal circumstances it wouldn't have been him on the end of that anyway.

The guy who chipped Valdes at the Nou Camp? Who took on Manch City defence to bury past Joe Hart? Clumsy as he is, he can finish the boy.

tbf, we know Matic can't finish. Ramires should've been there. This static midfield on Mikel-Matic starting game makes little to no sense to me.

don't you jynx this now!

Lmao I mean I had to double check on the skyscrapers part.. But I got what you mean

And then he does that

I'll give you that, well put!

You can actually see how he has so much of a better understanding with Pedro than anyone else. Because Pedro's played with the likes of Messi and Neymar, he knows what movement to make to enable Hazard. He still needs to work on his game, but he's the only player who's got the intelligence and skill to play with Eden.

United fans already talking about DDG > Courtois. Bore off.

Tbh Jason, I did believe this.. I really did. But even then, as a coach he should have done his homework. It's not even that hard. All he had to do was spend an afternoon looking at how we concede goals and why we're so nervous and he'll see the weak links that contribute to these things.

Well I think if they continue to pressure the ref enough to give us a dangerous free kick, Willian could nick it

I mean ffs, we're making ROONEY look good!

No game plan, no effective counter attack strategy, no collective defensive tactics. It's literally a case of hang on by your fingernails and try not to get injured or sent off doing it. You'd think players would take a bit of initiative - If you see Ivanovic being isolated and targeted, get over and fucking help him. If you see Hazard getting overcrowded and bullied, give him an avenue to distribute the ball to!! Schoolboy errors, hell even school boys play with more fluidity & common sense!

Nah man I'm actually pissed off. What a poor fucking performance.. These players don't give a shit lmao. Is this what we signed Pedro for? To teach us the way of bitching and crying to the referee about everything. What a spineless display. PLAY FOOTBALL YOU WANKERS.

Fuck sake, you were right about everything. I fucking hate this team.

You have to say.. With those front 4 all capable of interchanging positions, they could cause havoc for Untied's defence if they attack intelligently.

....touche sir, touche :tophat: I truly have nothing to say against that because you're right :lol:

For sure man.. But that's the consequence of our stance in the league now. We have to settle until we're back where we belong and THEN hopefully we can pull of some actual proper recruitment

What's with Hiddink-Van Gaal tensions? Seems LVG doesn't like Dutch managers, doesn't he have problems with Koeman also?

Fair enough then, do you see him as a long-term n10 or CM? Traore and Kenedy, yeah I guess you have a point, but from a Hiddink point of view (correct or not) perhaps this is not the time for inexperience? We need to get out the relegation scrap first.

Yeaah, I mean I always assumed it would be an alternative pairing.. Eventually then paired together more often and it'd work. Hence Cahill signing on for 4 years and probably Terry being offered another extension. Terry - Zouma Cahill - Zouma Terry - Stones Cahill - Stones Zouma - Stones
