meanmistermustard Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just heard a really strange statement there....."Manchester United have problems today, theres no Harry Maguire"What am I missing?They are playing Bailey and lindeloff with Phil Jones waiting to come off the bench. All three are shit and should be nowhere near Man U's squad, especially with the money they have spent.Carrick absolutely shitting it by starting Fred, Matic and McTominay. Ronaldo dropped to the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Not for the first time when I've watched them this season Everton have been woeful. Without Calvert-Lewin doing the legwork up front they have little threat, and Rondon is very slow, and doesn't convert good chances that come his way. Should have scored a couple today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR will always get stick as long as it is operated by morons. How Everton don't get a penalty for that jersey pull on Rondon right on half time I really can't comprehend. The pundits invariably say that awarding penalties for such incidents would result in matches ending 22-all or similar. Personally, I think that would be great, but more likely defenders would stop committing these ridiculous acts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 That seems like a very odd team from United - going with the Pep ‘no strikers’ tactic but with much worse players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how often players doing stupid things is the fault of the rules, not the fault of the thickos doing those stupid things. See also: we want to see 22 players on the pitch, the refs need to stop showing cards for those things the laws require them to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 On the day Messi gets 3 assists to help PSG move 12 points clear at the top of the league, Ronaldo is dropped to the bench with Man Utd currently 10th in the league. Other than financially, Ronaldo’s recent career choice to move to Utd has been a disaster !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrick has clearly been on the communion wine this morning, hopefully a CB goes off injured early on just to allow Phil Jones to come on. This has potential for another hilarious Utd display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 When Man Utd get the ball in Chelseas half, its like watching a bunch of kids being chased off someones property.
