The Footie Thread

[Don Barzini]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mark Goldbridge.

An embarrassing loudmouth.

I’m fairly convinced he’s not actually a Man Utd fan and just acts the way he does for clicks and likes.

Sorry but we win hands down with Anfield Agenda


Whilst Goldbridge is very ranting when doing “watch alongs”

At times he has shown to have some level of knowledge

Craig Houlden has zero knowledge of anything

He is minted now though - somehow has made himself a tidy sum hence why others are trying to copy

I find Goldbridge entertaining, only because I treat him as the Alan Partridge of football watchalongs.

And, I fancy many Man Utd fans have been loudmouths for quite a number of years while watching Utd. Either that, or comatose in a chair

@Bazz are you going to the game tonight?

No I’ll be watching it on the TV. I don’t have an away membership sadly.

Tough for away days with us too, sell out to the higher points holders who then sell them on. Fair enough really I think, they've done rhe hard yards when we were crap. Same for your lot I guess.

We do have 5% of aways kept back for a ballot though.

Yes exactly. I believe with ours it’s a lottery even for those with the memberships.

Enjoy the game (but not too much )

Walker has been ,not seen anyone saying otherwise.
What’s that got to do with Trent’s performance today?

TAA will go to Madrid even though he was abysmal today. But they are not buying a full back there buying the best passer in world football and won’t expect him to defend much.

Walker won’t.

It was just a jest to Amanda
You don’t like a trent or Liverpool we get that.

 

[clubchamp98]

And Man Utd, looking at their attacking stats they definitely saw him as a weak link and targeted that side.

Most teams that have the players do.
Anyone who has a good left side will trouble Liverpool.

Even if that side has a right back on the left wing

You beat me to it.

 

[clubchamp98]

What doesn’t help him is Mo has pretty much a free license to roam and not bother tracking back this season - so a lot of times TAA hasn’t been as wondering as he normally is plus Konate has helped cover him

Man Utd just bypassed him with ease and isolating him on the outside dragging Konate out with him - that’s going to happen and why Konate is key but was was bad yesterday was how poor on the ball he was , how he seem to not even work , just looked miles away from the game - it was his worst game for us. We have two cup games coming up and suspect Bradley will play against Spurs and then TAA will need to step it up for the spot against Forest

We gave the ball away to much in the middle as well.
If you do that while players are pushing forward your in trouble.

But his lack of effort was really poor.

Well if Heineken done RBs he would be one

 

[clubchamp98]

TAA has a good right foot, that is where the similarity ends.

Beckham had the heart of a lion, and would sweat blood for his club or England. He often played wide right to take advantage of his crossing, but could easily play central midfield. He never played right-back (that I remember), but I'm sure he could do a job there if asked. He certainly wouldn't lack the work rate anyway.

Beckham had a lot of attributes that TAA severely lacks. He often looks lost when out of possession, and I wouldn't play him in central midfield either, as he looks out of his depth there as well. Sure, he might play one or two great passes, but it is a risk playing him there based on what he lacks.

I agree but yet Madrid still want him

He wasn’t abysmal, he knows he has a possible medical coming up soon so avoided making tackles or running so he didn’t get injured. Would be surprised to see him in a red shirt again this season.

Well that’s abysmal imo.
Slot should have hooked him at 2-1.

 

[Swango1980]

They do, for a knock down fee given his contract is running out. I doubt they'd pay a huge fee if he had several years on his contract left?

At any rate, not every player Madrid have ever bought has turned out to be a mega star. If they plan to play him on the right and hit loads of crosses, then I can definitely see why they'd go for him

 

[Don Barzini]

Forest devastating on the counter.

Pleased for MGW, given the pelters the Wolves fans are giving him. My wife, who doesn’t watch a lot of football, couldn’t believe her ears at the boos!
