The old Man Utd Thread

I'm quite confused by this sequence of posts.    None of those players are in the starting line-up?

 

I read the BBC post as they weren't available at all - not that they weren't in the starting XI.

 

I probably misread it. My 3 year old was screaming the place down at the time.

[Gabzy]

Both centre backs taking each other out. Brilliant!

[Gabzy]

Why don't we have another CB on the bench? Where's Tuanzebe?

[5R7]

yep...should have fucked this off...

 

looks like harry will have shiner on his right eye, to go with brandons left eye!

[feltmonkey]

Poor old Bailly.  He never has any luck.  He definitely should come off here, looks like a concussion.

[Stevie]

A bit off topic but Wembley stadium is really good looking. 

[Gabzy]

I'm glad Martial is coming on, change the formation, it's not working anyway. Hope Bailly is okay.

Injured!

[Gabzy]

 as is Jones, I'm guessing.

shouldnt have let smalling extend his loan! he's been superb in italy!...i know...i did just write that, but, well, he has!

[Gabzy]

We get all the VAR decisions, apparently 

[5R7]

what a fucking joke that is, that was clear as fucking day!

[Gabzy]

Ffs. Hard to swallow after that var call. DDG embarrassing.

[Liamness]

Williams completely lost his man there. Fernandes was telling him to stick with him too.

[spork]

Fat Frank time!

This is embarrassing, by the way.

[feltmonkey]

We need Pogba on.

[feltmonkey]

FFS Dave.

[Gabzy]

 I'd love to know what Romero's thinking right now, having been benched despite supposedly being our cup keeper.

thats two for two.

get him gone.

 

get the first team subbed off now, give em some rest!

[teddymeow]

Headlines need to read:

 

"David de Go-er"

 

Just hideous!!

[feltmonkey]

The game's not gone yet.  We need to score next, and put the pressure on.  Pogba on for Fred, Greenwood on for James, and throw players forward. 

[feltmonkey]

Ole's reading my posts again.

 

That's the obvious change, to be fair.

[Liamness]

I think with the way Ole set the team out, I think he was happy enough if we lost but didn't want us to get tonked. How much do we actually want extra time? 120 minutes and then West Ham on Wednesday doesn't sound fun.

[stephen129]

I still can't decide if De Gea is just going through a really poor patch of form, or if his ability has permanently deteriorated. Every mistake he makes the more I think it's the latter. Sad to see. He's been such a great player for us.

Yep. We could have easily started with Lingard, Mata and Pereira on the pitch but nobody wants that!

It's been 2 years since he seemingly turned terrible while at the World Cup and he'll be 30 in November.

[Gabzy]

He needs to go. He's not the same keeper, and it's become clear this season. Find a buyer, get Henderson back. Romero is an excellent keeper too.

Prepping for his retirement back in Spain?

nah, hes done, hes been at the top of the mistakes leading to goals for 2 seasons. Since that world cup, hes just not been good enough.

off him now while we could still get some money for him
