[tomdiginson]

Man lost his head cause Liverpool received some praise and because people said it would make more sense for football for Mbappe to join pool. He mad cause no one mentioned United

 

[HNL HI]

The Ange honeymoon is over? Belgium @rck3sactown big j 33 ?

Seen a lot of abuse thrown his way from fans today

For me it definitely isn't, though I think there's definitely very valid critiques that Ange needs to drastically improve.
Our defending on corners is utterly shambolic. I haven't looked up stats regarding goals conceded from corners but surely we have to be somewhere at the bottom. It's not like our players aren't tall or strong enough.
I think he's also far too rigid in his principles, with the main example of course being that disastrous Chelsea match where we let Jackson of all people score a hatty because we stuck to the very high line. Sometimes you just gotta park the bus, and to be fair he seems to be improving in that aspect.

Overall I enjoy the football we're playing though, even if the results don't go our way. In the months of torture under Conte when it went completely downhill, we were godawful to watch even when we won. It's a huge relief to see us playing exciting football again.
That being said, those main issues I mentioned earlier definitely need to improve. We're scoring a lot but also conceding goals left and right, which makes for very entertaining matches like today's against Wolves, but again one of the goals we conceded was a complete free header from a corner.

They’re losing it.

They might need to start a United thread where they can safely interject their opinions in a deluded safe space.

Instead of ratting to the mods.

I was out hooping so I missed the game..

I was actually working so I didn't get to watch it, but I know a lot of the feeling from what I've read has been strict adherence to his system and his stubbornness is fun when we win but when we.. it's less cute and fun.

fluid hips dont let them bully you, stay strong brother

All the flames is cool n all but calling Salah average

 

[romulus]

The salah average part will be regrettable for him.

All in all, just a good ole fashion sparring match on NT.

Been a minute since we had one this spicy.

 

[mastamind89]

The ref did Rayo dirty

 

[Coupé It]

Reason why Salah is disrespected is because Salah’s wasn’t born in England or Brazil.

Been his problem his whole life.

Salah has to look down the road at some bum like Marcus Rashford stealing all of his endorsements.

Another Mason Holgate masterclass
