We’re a complete disgrace of a team. How do things look so promising in preseason only to look like a team who have never trained together as soon as the real thing starts? This team just ruins every weekend just like last season. I’m just done letting it do so. Why watch if the players don’t give a shit? We continue to be the laughingstock of the football world. Everyone roasting us and rightfully so.

WE.CANNOT.SCORE

Fucking shit pass from Gallagher there. Fucks sake.

Don’t you dare tell me this is another key injury, ffs

We’re running through midfield like Bournemouth doesn’t have anyone there. But the final ball is SHIT every time!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING!!! WHO ELSE WOULD THIS LUCK HAPPEN TO BUT US?

Mudryk started off promising but has disappeared since. And a lot of the time we don’t even look to his side of the pitch.

Good lord. Any other team in the top half of the PL puts away some of these chances we create. It’s beyond absurd at this point.

I’m perfectly happy if we have Enzo playing higher up once both Caicedo and Lavia are starting. But having him playing high up with Gallagher deep makes no sense to me. Gallagher is MICH more of an attacking threat than Enzo yet their roles are reversed by Poch. I just don’t get it.

Colwill really struggles against pace when he’s isolated at LB. He’s simply NOT a LB and I hate seeing him there. Especially with Mudryk as his help defender. Mudryk looks like a clueless child when defending.

Carving through them in midfield at will. Have to finish off a goddamn chance.

Bruh, THREE of our players switched off at the back post there….

Pretty solid, cohesive performance so far. But still can’t finish as per usual.

Of ourse the weather is absolutely dogshit in a must win match for us which makes crosses like that much more difficult.

So Caicedo does have a small injury apparently. Why are we so fucking cursed with injuries as a club? No other big club in the world gets as many injuries as we do. And not just any players, but KEY players! We may not even see this new look midfield that we have all been hoping for until we’re already miles and miles out of contention for anything important.

I don’t like him out there at all. He has been in that area quite a bit when we’re out of possession and he has struggled in 1v1 situations.

Caicedo apparently arrived too late from international duty to be involved. Not even in the bench.

Colwill gonna get targeted at LB. As will Gallagher and Ugo in the middle.

If we don’t win this tomorrow I’m going to be taking a nice, multiple months long break from all things football. Not watching any matches, muting the hundreds of football related people I follow on Twitter etc. Can’t stomach another horror season like last one. With the talent we have in this squad it’ll be even more embarrassing than last season if we finish midtable again. If we fail to beat West Ham, Forest, and Bournemouth within our first 5 matches then we’re heading for another season like that.

As incredibly annoying as it is to see Spuds continuing this dream start under Big Ange, at least the silver lining of this poor start to our season is that United look even worse than us. They’ve been horrific in EVERY match they’ve played in the PL thus far. Even in their 2 wins they were tremendously fortunate that their opponent couldn’t finish despite dominating them. Seems I will be proved right with my prediction that they would take a considerable step back from last season’s position.

The blueprint has 100% been set on how to play against Chelsea when we use this formation by both WH & Forest. 1) Sit super deep and congest the box 2) Let us have all of the possession 3) Hoof long balls repeatedly up to a super physical, athletic striker who can bully our CB’s 1v1 4) Wait for the guaranteed horror show mistake that they pounce on and score 5) Shut the game down again defensively again Of course, what could destroy this game plan that every small club we come up against will use is to have an actual, natural attacking player instead of Chilly playing high up and most importantly of all SCORE BEFORE THEY DO. If we fucking scored goals before our opponents they’d then have to open up and chase the game.

Definitely his poorest performance yet for us but STILL should’ve scored at least 1. That Werner/Torres like miss was inexcusable. Think it’s pretty clear that Jackson may struggle against opponents like this and as a result the whole team will continue to struggle against low blocks with 10 men packed deep defending. He wants to run in behind and use open space to kill defenders with a quick turn and sprint. Being unable to do that really hampers him.

Everyone can score goals for fun except for us.

I really did have genuine belief that we would bounce straight back up to at least competing for 4th this season. But it looks like another season of pain is on the way and it’ll be another season out of Europe next time around. This rebuild is going to take a while. What’s most gutting is that several of our rivals have or are currently going through their own rebuilds but have hit the ground running instantly. United finished in the wilderness 2 years ago and bounced straight back up to finish 3rd. Newcastle turned into a genuine top 4 threat virtually overnight. And now even fucking Spuds have completely changed their team and look transformed. Then there’s us. On paper we are PACKED with talent none of those clubs I named have at their disposal. But none of that quality is concentrated in the most important area: a fucking goal scorer. We might sadly have an Arteta like rebuild where it takes a couple of years of pain and mediocre finishes with flashes of promise before eventually exploding in year 3. But there’s no way we’d have the patience for that considering the money we’ve spent. And tbf, it shouldn’t take that long with these players.

Is a single journalist actually going to do their job and ask the question to Poch about why he is playing this turgid system? How the fuck have we not heard his reasoning yet? He played a 4-2-3-1 at Spuds for years, he played a back 4 all preseason which the players took well to, and then goes completely away from it. Why?! Ask him why, you useless fucks! If we come back from the break and see it again I’m done watching for a while.
