What witch doctor cursed us this season holy shit

 

[The Bear]

Could have easily scored in that lot. Some nice passing too.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Jimenez would be offside less if he just sat on the penalty spot for 90 minutes.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Excellent performance. Man U have been dreadful. Apart from Phil Jones!

 

[jdrodrigues]

Fuck off Ronaldo. Wanker.

Good first half, we do need to get better in scoring all the opportunities. Shouldn't take us 10 to score 1 in. But we're playing well

Posh Andy Mutch.

 

[t3ch]

While the finishing has been predictably bad this is going pretty OK, eh??

 

[Alan]

Forward is slowly creeping up my transfer priority list.

We’re playing them off the park but. Raúl is just nowhere right now.

 

[Carsy]

Excellent performance. Man U have been dreadful. Apart from Phil Jones!

A sentence no one thought they ever see!

 

[Throbber3]

Thrashing them 0 0 .

Raul having a Weston.

you don’t beat sky six teams if you don’t score when you’re that on top. They will get the hairdryer and come out a different side unfortunately

 

[Dire Wolf]

Best we've played for a while. Been much the better team. But as usual we simply can't put the ball in the net. Everyone has been decent apart from Raul who has been pretty bloody awful.

Remember when he was the next big thing in English football? Was proper good for Blackburn IIRC.

Finishing? Bar Raul heading a potential chance back out the box there hasn't been an opportunity to finish anything yet. More to do with the final pass or good defending stopping us when the ball is about to drop for a chance.

 

[Banjo]

We really should have scored in that half. What happens if Man Utd do what Chelsea did and change formation at half time to nullify our wing backs? So frustrating. Trincao needs to hurry up and do something magic to make up for how often he comes out of challenges second best.

 

[sycophantia]

Thought we played really well, just can't score or create a decent chance....can we keep it going for another 45?

 

[jd1981]

We’re bossing this so far and have played some good stuff.
However Utd surely will improve second half.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Good half. And may I be the first to congratulate Phil Jones on his MOTM performance.

 

[Deano]

We have had a good half there. Obviously as we have discussed before the lack of goals in this team is unsustainable and we should be in the lead with the amount of efforts we have had but knowing we are probably going to finish somewhere in midtable and little danger of going down if much rather see this than the backs to the wall performances we have produced jn other games.

He'd been playing with a knee injury for years just managing pain. There was an article I read where he talked about it in detail.

Seems a decent guy. And I appreciate that he embraced the memes about his face.
