1-0 Fernandes penalty win incoming

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

3 strong attacking subs from United.

Andre has been very good this game... Semedo is annoying.... a chance to attack them and he goes safety first and then we lose the ball....

1-0 Fernandes penalty win incoming

It does feel like this, with a penalty that is "soft, but you've seen them given."

 

[Squeak]

Another free kick 10 to 15 yards inside their half and we pass it back and put ourselves under pressure. Seriously, what is the difference between this and a corner? It's a chance to get the ball into the penalty area and possibly create a goalscoring chance. This is everything I hate about modern football.... keep the ball nonsense instead of trying to score.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So, what was wrong with that challenge from Bueno?

 

[Squeak]

Big chance for Utd and they fail to score...but unless we up our game, they will .

 

[Jinky]

Poor performance. How Vítor hasn’t made a change yet, I’ve no idea.

Front three aren’t working. Sounds ridiculous but we were a better TEAM without Cunha in it. Lack of intensity throughout the side. Players look scared to make a tackle because of the ref.

Worst game of football I’ve watched in a while.

 

[prawnking]

Time for some changes Vit

It doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

Toti did really well to put Hojlund off there.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Toti probably MOTM so far?

They'll never beat big Dan Bentley

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Agbadou has been pretty poor

 

[Squeak]

Jones gets us out of trouble that time with too much dicking around on the left edge of our box. Come on Vitor change it....

 

[Jinky]

Agbadou has been pretty poor

Walking on eggshells since Jones gave him a bollocking in the first half for having an ounce of physicality about him.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Not that we could do it today, but this shows how bringing a good player off the bench (Bruno) really makes a difference, it gives everyone a lift.

It's not about the starting team.

Mmm, i think you are being generous, he's given the ball away a few times really poorly, had Toti done the same the forum would have exploded.

Not sure Denise Lewis was actually "watching" on.

 

[prawnking]

Was hoping for Djiga and Forbs, but it's Rodrigo and Sarabia coming on

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

These are the subs we wanted.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Well that was handball.
