The Footie Thread

The whole team just looks leggy. There’s not the depth of squad at the moment for the number of games we’re playing.

Totally agree as regards McTominay. A very limited player at this level - steady, but no more. And we certainly look very ponderous with him sitting in front of Maguire.

Have you seen our bench
Plenty of talent

Sheff Utd 3 vs 2 Blackburn Rovers .......................... what a fantastic game that was.

Do you think the coach cost Blackburn on 76 minutes by going to a back 5
Totally agree great cup tie.

What I have no idea of is how mentally exhausting it is having to play every three days since the world cup.
Physically I believe they should have no problem, other than the increase in likelihood of picking up an injury, but the mental side of things might get rather draining, I genuinely have no idea.

It’s going to affect the players both physically and mentally - it was a tough battle for us last season and we are feeling the affects of it now. The players aren’t robots - and the season has been very tiring for many

Bruno's a robot, more minutes than any other player in Europe's top leagues ........................... including goal keepers!
That's incredible, however a lot of those minutes, admittedly, are spent lying down clutching his face.

Well that’s been coming.

Well yes - if it includes just wandering around using as little energy as possible then yep he is a robot

Well that’s been coming.

It certainly has, and deservedly so, but this United are more resilient than in past years.
I still think we'll win.

Not sure I share your confidence this afternoon. There’s just no energy about them at all.

And the hack behind for a corner leading to the goal from McTominay was as uncultured as it was probably unnecessary.

Very poor first hour.

Why is Shaw marking Mitrovic it’s bloody ridiculous

You mean somebody is marking him?

Handball ...................... surely!

 

[Billysboots]

Clear handball. And a red card?

Yeah it’s a penalty

Not sure it’s a red card though ?

That’s stupid from Mitrovic though

 

[Slime]

Fulham imploding in front of my eyes.

 

[Slime]

Yeah it’s a penalty

Not sure it’s a red card though ?

Really, why is that?

 

[Billysboots]

Oh dear. Fulham have had a nightmare 60 seconds there.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Really, why is that?

Was it deliberate ?

Edit - ignore , was on target so it’s a red

And Mitrovic, so are you!

 

[Billysboots]

Because Phil likes to be different
