Dundee United 2019/2020
ArabFC replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Neilson thinks we played really well, which almost makes me weep. He's clearly done a good job getting us into the position we are in, but I just don't enjoy watching the team anymore. It was a slog watching that pish tonight. Everything we do is so SLOW and laboured. Our centre-backs can't pass the ball, our central midfield partnership is brutal, our wide players aren't wide players. Praise be for Shankland - albeit he was crap tonight. -

We may end up winning the league by 20+ points, but we're shite! -

I honestly forgot Harkes was playing. 75 minutes into this dross and Robbie hasn't made a change -

I'm not expecting him to come back, but I still can't get my head around the fact that there are United fans that didn't rate him - yer all quite crazy! -

I don't know how anyone could really form much of an opinion - he started just once this season. -

Did Cammy spitroast Neilson's mum? -

Whatever folk think of how Powers has performed (adequately or decent or not), he's just been a wasteful signing. We have a lot of weaknesses in the squad, but instead of addressing any of them we signed a Butcher mini-me. We need to be looking at signing players who are better than what we've already got, not loading the squad with more meh. Anyone in their right mind think Butcher & Powers is midfield combo fit for the Premiership?! -

I don’t think Paul Watson is all that great, but the way he’s been dropped is a fcuking disgrace. Reynolds and Connolly are barely good enough for this level, let alone the Premiership. Powers and Butcher is a brutal midfield combo. But we’ve got the league wrapped up, so, meh! -

I notice folk elsewhere suggesting Watson come in for Connolly, but I was just watching the highlights, and couldn't help notice the complete irrelevance Mark Reynolds was at Hibs second goal. He spots the Hibs player in front of him at the edge of the box, stands still as he advances, stands still as he goes past him and then stands still as the ball is crossed an finished. Oh yeah, and then throws his arms up in disgust. Crude gif to illustrate... -

Not a fan thus far either. Didn't see last night but actually it's his passing (completion rate at least) which has been his standout attribute before that. -

Aye, and they haven't been up to the job in the most part because they've been injured. As far as I understand it, Sow is out of contract come the end of the season, so if Shankland stays around he'll be a sub most of the time, and then leave unless he somehow comes good. Pawlett on the other hand has another year left (I think) and given his wages he's not going to be taken off our hands if he's not performing, so why not try and see if we can get him playing again while we've got the league pretty much wrapped up? I'd like to see him more central than out wide, where Neilson plays him, but hey-ho. Against Hibs, Neilson has played the dreary midfield 3sum of Harkes/Powers/Butcher, and against Morton he played Sow up top. -

I'm sure you were saying that when we signed them! -
Dundee United 2019/2020
ArabFC replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
He actually came into the team against Partick and set-up Shankland within a minute. And then we've played Hibs twice, so... Pawlett may well not come good, but the hate on here for him and Sow (both of whom have really struggled with injuries) really is beyond the pale sometimes. -

Didn’t see it, but the BBC text commentary follows every Hibs goal with “terrible defending by United” -

ArabFC replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
If there's a team bold enough to offer the sort of silly money it'd take to buy him, then fair play. We're gonna lose him at some point, and if we can cash in when we're as good as up already, I wouldn't be all that upset. -
Dundee Hibernian v Edinburgh Hibernian
ArabFC replied to invergowrie arab's topic in Domestic Cup Football
Watson has every reason to be extremely pissed off at being left out. If I was a cynic I might think the ‘rotation’ of the centre backs over the last few games was nothing more than an excuse to get Connolly back in. And talk about packing the midfield. Harkes, Butcher and Powers as a three, with Pawlett who isn’t really a wide player. -

King is 24 years old! If he starts a dozen league games in his United career (regardless of the length of contract awarded) I'll be astonished. -

Fairly irrelevant when the manager has written him off. See Cammy Smith. -
Dundee United 2019/2020
ArabFC replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Stanton and Harkes essentially played the same role, and given neither of them were first choice picks, it’s no surprise that we were looking to move one of them on. A good player on his day, but neither consistent enough or tough enough to ever really win me over. -
