James McAtee

[MCFC.35]

He handled that well

 

[Irishblue93]

Horrible tackle. Let's hope he's OK

 

[cleavers]

Bosh. Certainly toughening him up at least

Terrible tackle (assault) that.

Total thug I hope somebody had a "chat" to him after the game. Sly bastard waited until the last minute too.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Got an assist apparently.

It was the pre-assist.....But,without his 2nd half cameo last night,the Blades would not have got the points.

He looks to be getting to grips with the physicality and the strength needed to handle that league,he also looks fitter.Still their football isnt best suited to his game,but he definitely seems more comfortable than previous.

The challenge was very poor,thankfully it appeared a dead leg only.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Handled the tackle extremely well. Tough lad.

Just read a Sheff United fan saying ‘he is good on the ball but the problem is he can’t tackle’

Exactly…

Has come into the league with a reputation ( and probably on good money) and young and old players alike have his card marked and make a name for themselves. The fact that this particular twat left it till the last minute says a lot.
Probably the only piece of advice I got from my old man was about 40 years ago when he told me don't drop your team in the shit - leave until the last couple of minutes - that's how outdated this is.

I wouldn't leave him there much longer. He won't have to experience this shit where he is going (hopefully) but it could end his career. Sounds drastic, but I had to put up with it because I wasn't very good, it was where I played football and I loved it - but he is.

Bosh. Certainly toughening him up at least

That **** was a Rag until 2020

Makes even more sense now.

And that is exactly the difference and why this loan was a poor fit.Granted it will give him experience he wouldnt otherwise have gotten,bu from a footballing experience it isnt great.

It is however suited far more to Doyle,who loves getting stuck in.

Sheffield plays Burnley today at 12:30. Good chance to see a few of our boys & vinny

Needs to realise he's moved to a bigger club now. Shithouse Trafford behaviour unacceptable

Doyle and McAtee both miss out through injury

Thanks for that info... was looking forward to see the game but not as much now :-)

 

[FantasyIreland]

How bad is the injury?

It looked more of a dead leg at the time.

 

[PragueBlue]

He came on after 20 mins this evening and off again after 80 mins. No idea if injury or tactical. They lost 1-0.

Doyle not even on bench, so I assume still injured.

 

[Cobra]

I watched it, he had a few nice touches but yet again he spent most of the game being bypassed by Sheffield Utd’s awful long ball football.
