Bredbury Blue Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 ^Saw Carra talking before and making sense. As he said, these things happen in football, 99% of footballers don't try to injure other players (that <deleted> Roy Keane being the 1%)...

Making it sound like Alisson was out for a huge amount of games (across all comps) he played 29 PL games which isn't bad for a season. Yeah not 100% but not too bad. As for the rest of the injuries, not huge losses. Would Ox, Matip and Keita all be first choices if everyone was fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thiago and Matip missed training and unlikely to travel to Amsterdam. Looks like Fabinho at CB. Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams in squad as CB cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilai Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 A dogged performance tonight. Neither side managed to grab the initiative or put concerted periods of pressure on the other. Nevertheless, a 1-0 win courtesy of a bizarre own goal from Tagliafico ensured we came away with the three points. Fabinho was superb at the back, winning duels both on the ground and in the air and based on his current CB performances could even be considered our #1 in that position. Robertson linked well with Mane who was his usual dangerous self, setting up the goal and a number of other chances. JK took the unusual step of substituting all three strikers at the same time after an hour. Minamino, Jota & Shaqiri replaced them with the 1st two both caming close to scoring towards the end. A satisfactory if unspectacular performance but the important thing is three away points in the bag! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A satisfactory if unspectacular performance but the important thing is three away points in the bag! I liked the fact the triple sub came off. JK giving the front 3 some rest, and the other 3 some confidence. I thought Fabinho was immense and a deserved man of the match. The goal was also deserved based on the turn Mane did to get his scuffed shot away. Hendo coming on really helped keep things steady in the second half, he stoped heads falling off. Great win for me. Lastly, Diogo Jota is s <deleted>in baller and is one them that JK sprinkles a bit of "turn in to a top European player dust" on this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo certainly gives us a great option with his pace and enthusiasm. I also liked Minamino in Firmino's role as he was always looking to get into dangerous positions. Question is: Will JK give him the chance(and will he hack it?) in the more physical Premiership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 minus 2 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thought you looked tired/off the pace tonight.. AND vulnerable at the bac. Sayin that once you scored, despite sheff utd creating some decent openings. 4 me there was only gonna be one winner... Thats the good news... The bad news is Physios/med people have told me, as a rule of thumb .. and I've got to say I've watched it over the years and it ALWAYS seems right... Players that suffer cruciate ligement injuries AFTER 27... Never come bac the same player, Always a yard slower.. as I've said I've watched it and I'm sorry to say it's seems right.. let's hope your man is the exception.

Jack Hna Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thought the game was very descent and similar to a game in front of crowds. Salah disallowed goal was brilliant.

wilai Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well at least we still know how to win ugly! Can't even blame the heavy pitch in Amsterdam for tiredness as Ajax won 13-0 earlier. However, whilst Sheff U have a lot of weaknesses, they are not a team you want to play after a European away day. They work their 'deleted' off and continually switch play meaning a lot of chasing and physical challenges. As to VAR. Again we are at the wrong end of a decision. You could clearly see that the ball traveled away from goal showing that Fabinho had played it. Therefore it was a clear and obvious mistake to award the foul in the first place! Having checked the replays, the very least Mariner could have done was advise Dean to check the pitchside monitor but he decided to ignore the fact and award the pen anyway. Can't blame the technology, just the inconsistent and incorrect application by the officials. As to individual performances, I thought Hendo (as usual) was everywhere and Salah was extremely unlucky not to get a couple. Jota did well but I think playing 4 attackers may leave us lacking elsewhere...time will tell!. Central defence did look uneasy at times due to being reactive rather than proactive as we were with VVD playing. Hopefully this can be worked upon in training as it will cost us against better finishers. Anyway, joint top with the trickies (for now anyway) without hitting form so things look promising in that respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangrakBob Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I thought we were moving along nicely and Sheffield were readying for the inevitable when AGAIN a wrongly issued free kick that AGAIN was not reviewed because the ref was not advised to became a <deleted> penalty. This is becoming a real problem in the game and it needs addressing. The penalty then gives United hope and impetus to hang on and set up tp defend that goal. The whole dynamic changes, the fact we overcame that and won is credit to the lads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a penalty because the foot was touching the line, but the foul should have been checked again as Fabinho got the ball, well timed, perfectly good tackle.

Of course there was contact....AFTER Fabinho had won the ball fairly with a slide tackle, the player's impetus caused a collision. Football is a contact sport after all!
