ChipButty Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Well, that was exciting... Probably one of the most boring games to watch, although if we're scraping the barrel for positives - clean sheet, 1 point - not ideal really is it.

I think because we know Pogba is going, either in Jan or end of the season. It's been a slow start for him but it's a long season and he'll have a long career.

I love Evra but I think he must feel stupid going on that rant now we've won a couple of games. Looking for something to get emotional about obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Van De Beek should just head back to Amsterdam. Tuanzebe should join him....crazy team choice that and pulled off Mata when he was actually playing really well. Toothless and clueless both managers yesterday.

You don't know what you're talking about. It was an edgy, tight game at a tricky time if the season between two big sides that couldn't afford to lose. We were the better team and could have nicked it. VDB will get plenty of opportunities. Nothing to see here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Hna Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 As mentioned a great result for united but the talk of top sides is stretching reality. Chelsea are under performing bit have potential but united are not even the united most would realise you are referring to as a top side. Leeds united and sheffield united will finnish above this united this year. Sheffield united currently occupy one of the bottom spots but it's clear they are a better side than united.

Who exactly is rating him so highly? You chose to watch a game which was 0-0. As a neutral it's not fun. I'm sorry about that. But it wasn't a terrible performance by either side. Chelsea can be the more concerned that they didn't create much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing that squids are damp, but you might wanna check that phrasing mate.... Btw I actually have no idea what 'squib' means Big guns often cancel each other out and result in poor games. 2003 CL final and Italia 90 final off the top of my head.

balo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) De Beek is the biggest mystery to me. Why bring an expensive player and bench him game after game. Clearly he is a better quality player than James ! He plays for Holland, a top player but Ole doesn't seem to think so, he'd rather play James. James looked hopeless with the ball yesterday, as he always does. The kid knows how to run, that's all. Edited October 25, 2020 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it was a pen. But technically so was the one when Rashford gets kicked in the shin. That got reviewed and not given. Did you see the one Ramos won yesterday? What did you think of that?

The one I saw reviewed was a tap on the back of his foot As for the Ramos one. He tugged his shirt and so gave the ref a decision to make.
