GWT: PL Matchweek 8

[ecemleafs]

Yes they have. Clear possession lead but woeful finishing and passing and crosses in the final third.

newcastle has been up by 2 for most of the game. they are just sitting back, letting united dick around on the ball and then trying to counter. united are lucky newcastle only have 2 goals. a clear penalty and a point blank header saved by degea and it could be 4-0 at the break.

Yes they have. Clear possession lead but woeful finishing and passing and crosses in the final third. Almost like Valencia in the UCL game.

Having a possession edge but being a joke in the final third is not being good offensively.

 

[Evilo]

Pogba leader for France @Evilo

He is.
Again, if you guys can get your hands on the film made inside the french lockerroom during the WC. There's no doubt who the NT leader is.

 

[Jussi]

What?

They've looked brutal offensively apart from one cross by Lukaku.

They're playing better forward than for example at the beginning of the season, but the decision making of some players and quality of passing leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[Timeless Winter]

I didn't watch the 1st half, but do you guys think it's possible the players hate Mourinho that much that they would throw this game? Just curious.

Since it happens anywhere Mou goes (as I noted for Chelsea), I think it's more than reasonnable to think they're doing just that.

Are you saying Newcastle deserve to be in the lead then? Basically all their chances have come as a result of a defensive mistake or an error by a United player.

 

[hatterson]

Oh nice, Fellaini is on. Now we get to see a ton of hoofing it and hoping someone can head it down.

 

[Gecklund]

1) get rid of Mou
2) get Blanc to replace him
3) hire Zidane as DOF

 

[Il Mediano]

Just tuned in to the United game.

Is the score a fair reflection?

As the team who has put in their chances and hasn't made stupid mistakes, yea they do.

Based on what resume?

 

[Jussi]

Not really. United gifted Newcastle with two goals early and could have gifted them even more.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Pogba is playing CB now? Bahahahahaha

 

[hatterson]

Oh my god it's a back 3 with Pogba in it.

I don't even know what to say.

 

[Jussi]

As the team who has put in their chances and hasn't made stupid mistakes, yea they do.

I remember when United did that against the likes Liverpool in SAF's era and how everyone here said United didn't deserve to win.

 

[Gecklund]

Based on what resume?

A better resume than our current DOF

 

[SSF]

The score should have been 5-2 Newcastle at best for United,so the score was more than fair.

 

[Jussi]

Matic...

 

[Halladay]

sitter.

 

[Jussi]

A better resume than our current DOF

So both are nonexistent.

 

[hatterson]

Matic, hit the target wtf

 

[I Eat Crow]

Matic you f***ing donkey

 

[The Abusement Park]

Man Mourinho legitimately takes the joy of of football. For everyone involved. The players. The board. The fans. The opponents(only sometimes). Man f*** him.

 

[Jussi]

Well now United are definitely trying.
