Definitely. Bring back Sterling and Sane. We need wingers who can beat players and get to the by-line to put decent crosses in.

Sterling from 2017 and Sane from 2018/19 yes please and yes please again.

 

[madloaf]

didn’t affect the opponents ability to reach the ball?? he’s clearly stood shielding the ball from akanji, don’t know how this is even up for debate. the ball is at his feet.

Its a fucking horrible decision.

 

[madloaf]

The lino changes his mind when confronted by rags. He has a lot of form against us .

Called him out after 15 mins of the first half. He's fucking horrible. Still, if their gonna cheat we have to score more goals, and thats one thing we're not interested in.

 

[come-on-barney]

Yep,and many wont like it....but we also need some new inspiration and ideas from the bench.Whether that is in the form of coaches or the boss.....im not yet sure.

Always remember Pep hailing Lillo’s virtues. I know I am a broken record on this subject, but think Pep needs a strong assistant like Torrent, Arteta, Lillo.

 

[eyalluvitt]

I remember in one of bacons last seasons ‘own goal’ was their top scorer…..the old face melt guaranteed the rags 12 points a season minimum.

Remember the Sheff Wed win the league game when they played about 20 minutes injury time till they scored

Saw this loss coming from miles away. Still not as bad as some of the takes from our ''fans'', especially those on twitter. Beyond embarrassing.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

It hurt more against Southampton ,at least give a bit of fight today granted we didn’t create a lot but we’re spoiled bastards these days almost positive we will be back

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

I dont care what people are saying about the scums goals. It was all down to our defence they were all over the place for the goals

 

[The perfect fumble]

Sterling from 2017 and Sane from 2018/19 yes please and yes please again.

Off you go then...

I have to laugh at some of the posters I wonder what they would of made of playing York city on a wet Wednesday. That's not a lifetime ago.

 

[Roachy]

I find this kinda fandom bizarre. We all love the club here (excluding the few lurkers) but supporting the club is about what's best for the club, not assuming the club are doing whats best. We play boring football right now. And we've spent a billion quid assembling a squad to do that. I'm not having it.

Agree, and there's nothing wrong in stating what you (the supporter) perceive as to what the problems are. We need to re energise.

 

[Dave El Magico]

This has been happening for weeks now. Multiple blatant yellow card offences being allowed by the ref, its endangering our players. Only a matter of time before someone slides in or leaves their foot in, knowing they won't be punished for it and we'll cop an injury.

Today, that annoyed me as much as the other decisions that went against us.

What made me laugh was that he yellow carded Eriksen for a ‘something and nothing’ foul. Atwell clearly indicated to Eriksen that it was his 2nd foul. So Malacia commits at least 5 and gets nothing and Eriksen commits 2 and gets a yellow?? Please can somebody explain that to me?

A loss with the added caveat of a horrific decision giving them a goal that changed the game. Officiated competently and we don’t lose.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Yes he did.. he slowed down and shielded the ball Akanji can’t go through the back of him or he is off with a red.

Akanji wasn't getting to him because he believed he was offside and didn't think he was an issue.The panic and severity only set in when play was allowed to continue and it was becoming clear a second phase was developing,by that stage our defenders were not in a situation to retrieve the situation.

Rashford didnt prevent them from reaching the ball,they just never believed they had to because he was in an offside position.

 

[stan bowles]

Anyone just feel like giving up on football completely? Not just today but how many times over the last few years have we been screwed over by bent officials?
I'm not renewing next season, had enough of it.

Bent officiating and the constant stopping of the game for non-head injuries are cheating the fans. The ball is in play less and less and flowing football is becoming extinct. And then you've got VAR screwing us at every turn.

 

[doots]

We need the Alternative Commentary chap back, our form's dropped off since he stopped posting.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It’s there in black and white, is Rashford being stood offside in between the ball and Akanji obstructing Akanjis line of vision ? Of course he is
Nevermind it also makes the 2 defenders hesitate and consider Rashford someone who needs dealing with and makes Ederson concentrate and position himself to deal with a shot from Rashford

Apart from scoring himself he couldn’t be doing much more to interfere with play

It’s just a complete fuck up

Yep. If he knew he was offside he should do what everyone else would do and stand still. If he stands still they don’t score that goal, simple as.

 

[Roachy]

I dont care what people are saying about the scums goals. It was all down to our defence they were all over the place for the goals

Akanji completely switched off for their winner.

 

[madloaf]

Off you go then...

Fuck Doctor Who - can't stand that shit!!!

Yep,previously he has trusted Lieutenants who he has clearly turned to and sought advice.Currently he looks like a man alone,and his own ideas are wearing very thin.
