Lol leave it out. A bit of handbags and playacting is not worse than deliberately hacking down a player and potentially injuring him. Behave.

An elbow to the face could potentially cause an injury, couldn't it?

At least De Gea kept to government guidelines and only allowed 6 in, Adrian could be in trouble for letting 7 in :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Its alright, the Everton grasses have already been onto Merseyside Police?
 
Today's effort, if it can be called that, reminded me of that Tottenham away performance at Wembley.

Pish poor.

He is the problem. Granted he's not the only problem but Woodward and the Glazers are going nowhere.

Ole is a medicore manager that has failed at every single club he's been at. He got Cardiff relegated and didn't even manage to win Molde a title. In fact the year before his tenre they won it and the year after he left they also won it! He'd not even get a high level Championship job, yet he's been installed at the biggest club in the country with the toughest job.

He's been at the club for almost two years and the side hasn't improved at all, if anything it's got worse. Under Jose they would at least control games, have a game plan and be well coached. They're nothing short of a shambles and getting worse. The longer he's at the club, the more damage he'll do. All United do is counter attack against the big sides to some success, then turn in abject performances against most other teams and rely on individual quality to win games. Theres no set style, no well drilled formation or pressing - it's all a mess. Last season 66 points was a poor total that under any normal season would be 6-7th, it was down to the wire on the last day even then. On paper finishing third was progress but apart from a run of a dozen games before and after lockdown, they were dire.

He's Woodward's goafer and yes man. Woodward can't sack him because it'll make himself look bad and the Glazers won't get rid of Woodward as long as he's covering their interest payments by finishing 4th occasionally. But even with the Glazers and the bumbling Woodward, a decent manager would do so much better with that squad. Mourinho got a far worse team into second and won two trophies.

Having watched many many games under Jose, we never controlled games. You can't control a game when you invite teams onto you and have 25% possession and 3 shots at goal.

Im beginning to waver with Ole. Obviously I want him to succeed, but the performances against Palace, Brighton and Spurs have left me with a lot of questions. I blame the players more though.

We were terrible defensively so he went out and got wan Bissaka and Maguire. Arguably good business at the time, but we're still crap. He's turned Maguire into Phil Jones. Most importantly though he cant get the work rate out of the players. Pogba especially seems to just jog around the pitch. Not sure he's suited to the prem at all. His days are numbered.....step in Poch.

It wasn’t an elbow, 2 players pushing and shoving in the box, Martial then makes a deliberate movement to “hit” Lamella.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Lamella over reacts, but again, but that’s just our opinion, Martial shouldn’t of given him the opportunity.

I think the VAR ref should have asked the ref to watch the footage .
I would have given Lammela another yellow for simulation and sent him off.

And that’s a red for Shaw. The reffing and laws of the game are posh poor after that.
Who’s was worse Martial or Shaw.

You can’t give another yellow for simulation, Martial made contact.

Getting the Martial decision correct has nothing to do with Shaw.
 
Deadline day and Everton have signed a CB, Godfrey, from Norwich for £25m. Promising player but a slightly odd choice imo. We have a couple of injuries right now in that area but we are well stocked in that dept and so I don't see that as being a crucial area to have spent on.

Hopefully we will be shipping a few out today as well.

He’s been in the pipeline for a few weeks now, Ancelotti has been looking at a few CB’s, Tomori and Zouma were rumoured etc, obviously he wants a bit strength in depth.

You almost make it read like it’s a last day panic.;)

Yes, you are absolutely right, there is no panic in this at all. We have been tracking him for a while, as you say, along with Tomori and Zouma. When we have everyone fit we will have Keane, Holgate, Mina and Branthwaite coming through. An extra one seems too many. CB is not an area I like to see rotation in so it seems overkill. I would have thought we have other priorities, either GK or reducing the wage bill.

He gets good reviews so I understand the buy, just not right now. This isn't a criticism, why would any Blue criticise right now, more an observation or question.

Keane - not consistent, Mina - Injury prone, Holgate - out for months and Braithwaite - just getting started.

Obviously he sees central defence as more of an issue than GK and the more we keep the opposition away from Pickford the better.;)
 
I don't, as a rule, watch MOTD, but it had to be watched didn't it. What a cracking two games. Haven't laughed so much in ages. And I realy enjoyed texting my grandson (18) who exclaimed after City's 1-1 "the leagues all over". Kids eh? LMFlippingAO

Apparently he can play at right back as well as central defence, given that Kenny and Coleman are injured so he could get his chance quite soon.
