TBH i don't think was can even blame Luiz. Collectively as a team simply woeful yet again, with the exception of a 10min spell we were so slow all over the pitch, midfield had so many holes in it as Torreira was all over the place, i actually give Xhaka credit tonight as he was at least trying to always play forwards. Even though we're playing slow Ozil then slows it down even more. Where wad Auba as well just disappeared in 2nd half then randomly seen seeking permission to come back on the pitch.

We're simply not playing as a team, not defending as a team and merely look like they are not bothered. Ive literally never known our team to be so negative and poor as they are at the moment.

Really does look like no one can be bothered at times. These days everyone seems to want to join a team that is playing at the heights. Whatever happened to being the players that get you to the heights, the legends are the ones that get you there and work hard for it, not the ones that join at the top and just skate on the surface. These players really need to take a good hard look at themselves and prove that they should be wearing those shirts.
 
(Here speaks someone who's team spent slightly more on Alex Iwobi ???)

And whose team persists with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

I don't like digging out individuals and, in particular, relatively young ones but all I see with him is a willingness to work.

That is admirable but a striker is measured in goals and even if Everton were playing well I can't see him ever delivering enough.

Can't argue with that. He holds the ball up very well, he brings team mates into play but ultimately he is there to score goals and I don't see him being more than a 10 a season man at best. He was through in the derby game midweek and never looked like scoring. He was probably taken out at the very end but nevertheless he never looked as though the net was going to bulge. We have him, Keane (the young lad from Juventus) and Tosun as our strikers and none look the part, although that is a bit unfair on Keane right now as he should not be judged coming into a team playing as we are. Ultimately, we don't have at least one striker who is ready now and up to the job and that is why we have been in trouble for a while. We have never placed Lukaku, spent a lot of money but never replaced him. Keane may be the right player but we can't afford to bring him and CL through at the same time. You can do that with one striker, if you have an established guy doing the main job, but not two.

No idea why we blew the money on Iwobi, it should have been spent on an established striker old enough to shave, not a wide man or another 'promising youngster'.
 
Strong reports of nigel Pearson to Watford until the end of the season. What are Watford fans thoughts on that? At least they are not messing around with stand ins.

Confirmed until the end of the season. Not sure it sounds as though the club have a lot of faith in him but given their position I guess he's got a free roll of the dice as I don't think too many expect them to stay up
 
Great result for United, just what Ole needed.
McDominate is turning into a real player and Rashford looked like he was enjoying himself, too.
Fred had one of his better games and, wait for it, Ashley Young played quite well and didn't get booked!
I'm not sure we've turned a corner, but we're definitely indicating.


Bump. :whistle:
 
Not PL as such, but plenty of their National team playing in it.
The FAI, Football Association of Ireland, have announced they are €55 million in debt!
Wonder if it’ll effect the National Team or League Clubs!
 
So the FA won’t choose Anfield for an England warm up game for the Euros because LPool won’t lift the ban on that scumbag rag of a paper S:poop:n journalists from attending. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Well done LPool, you get my support on that one!(y)
