It is baillys absence that has caused Phil jones to start to regress. Baily usually communicates to him and gives him solid ideas but that dunce called smalling is the polar opposite...he always injects panic into any of his partners....even when that guy was trying to pass to vardy why not even try a tackle? He was just staring at the ball and shaking like one jellyfish till vardy collected the pass! Smfh!

Lol! So apparently Jones' brain is Bailly? A player 2yrs younger than him. When I call him brainless some think it is hating.

Btw, Smalling going for a tackle there would have been stewped. My opinion

funlord:
"Against Leicester both centre halves were culpable for either of the hosts goals. Jones was caught too far upfield for Jamie vardys early opener while Chris smalling or the apparent inability to readjust due to injury was to blame for Harry maguires late leveller! There is no case for the defence "

Jones isolating his CB like against Chelsea. I don't know if dude thinks he's playing as a midfielder.

elampiro:
That was in the last few minutes when Leicester decided they had nothing to lose but to go all out to get the equalizer or lose 1-3. At that point we had more to lose, they didn't see any difference between losing 2-1 or 3-1. Perhaps, Mourinho anticipated it, and wanted to punish them with pace - Rashford and Mkhitaryan.

This is a flimsy excuse. At this period, the team was losing possession at little or no pressure whenever they go forward. Why can't this team string 4-5 passes without losing it

patrickmuf:
On point, Smalling is just a sissy, look at Wilshere who was fond of forming injury until Wenger toughened up and was about to send him out of the club to just about any team, isn't Wilshere playing his heart now? Smalling is mentally weak and lazy like most English players, I mean just stretch yourself for about 2 min but no, the dude was out of the pitch at one point...
I was so upset yesterday, how do you play in a very good pitch with proper officiating and still get injured at every slight instance when people play in erosion ravaged pitch here where two footed tackle is the norm and the only way your folks will liken you to Maldini/Nesta (Wonder where they saw Maldini and Nesta going in two footed, lol) and never get injured...

Let's not make claim of what we don't know. No one knows the extent of the injury. The point is with injury he shouldn't be inside our box. We had other tall players that should have helped since the team chose to be defending against a 10-man Leicester.

elampiro:
How can you say we parked the bus today? We were missing chances.

Guy we were defending deep when they were 10 men instead of dominating the game. Maybe you should rewatch it

elampiro:
It's a lie. City also play conservative when they lead 2-1, 1-0 with few minutes left. We also it even against a small team recently.

At least they keep the ball and create chance if opportunity arises but we resort to parking the bus like today against a 10-man team

afrodoc2:
Rashford for one has to get back to the basics and put in extra work on the training field and the video room. His touch is not good and his decision making is actually getting worse.
Martial's problem is just mentality and work rate., he needs to hit the gym on a regular.
If the manager can't develop you then you better develop yourself. SAF recently said he was not responsible for Ronaldo's incredible work ethic and improvement at United, the guy did it almost independently.

Maybe dude was promoted to the 1st team too early. ChristineC has always opined he should be loaned out

elampiro:
Even Manchester City did similar thing against us. They took the ball to corners instead of going into our box.

I would prefer he passed, but what if his pass was intercepted. Those days, Carrick, Scholes, Rooney would have passed the ball around until that two minutes is exhausted.

He neither passed nor took it to the corner flag. RB!

I have been complaining of Rashford for some games now but dude keeps improving on the negative side SMH

My blame on Jose is his lack of dominating games. Leicester at one man down means we should be dominating the game, keep the ball and make them chase us instead of withdrawing and hoping on counter attack. We always have this problem against teams, it's tactical and Jose's fault. And no excuse of 'we don't have the players' should be given here cos Bristol kept the ball well against us.







Abeg how many chances were created for Lukaku, our CF, today or is it now his job to create for others

The back is decent. Hope the midfield holds it tight and not get the back exposed.


GGMU!

raumdeuter:
His natural position is to be hidden somewhere

And his role to be creating chances for others

diggz:
Moses out...

Lol. The draw soup don touch some points?

Nihilist:
Title well and truly out of reach now

Hehe! Na today

FBS:
4 mins to get a goal.

You say

Oboy! See Marcelo tossed away like that

Abeg who has link. Mine just dey mess up

elrony:
Mehn.. we don't have proper replacement. All these while Val has been our only RB at least! (And our Oga dey active for transfer window o)

Well, trust Rojo to start at LB today!

They should sha not disgrace us today

I'd play Lindelof at RB, since he's decent with the ball, and Young at his LB. Smalling and Jones at CB. Rojo just switches off sth and hoofs the ball away

With Valencia out, our full backs against Gray and Mahrez though

Miglol almost with a 2nd drama

Well, how did Firmino find himself free in the middle there


As long as it's a draw I'm good. 6-6 I don't care

MRTA7:
I think Liverpool have the worst keepers in the top 8 or 9 teams.

Looks like our 2nd Gk is even better than all combined

Nihilist:
Them don swear for this mane guy.

See how he waste that coutinho sweet pass

Dude has sworn not to give pass in opponent's box since he's back from injury

Lolpool defence

Looool! The Miglol!

kokaneprodigy:
dude doesn’t break the odds in saves apart from making routine saves. And Wenger benches Ospina for him.

Like Salah miss

Today is my birthday fam..

More blissful yrs ahead. HBD!

Herrera and Herrera can be excused since they were very good last season, however, that's the difference between us and Real Madrid, Barca and Bayern is that when you ain't performing you dropped or out rightly replaced without any consideration of your past contribution to the course of the club...It's this loyalty that sets up a scenario where you saw/see fans defending Rooney, Herrera, Rojo, Lukaku etc. In Madrid you can score for 20 straight games, but once you lose form, the fans wil boo you...We need to set the bar very high for our players.

My point is that Rojo is average and at the same time always injured. He should fvck off. Every team needs some average players that can come in and do some job, reason I don't ask for the selling of player like Smalling who is average but mostly fit. Herrera can make a good squad player since he's mostly fit. The worst is being average and always unavailable.

This doesn't include Darmian though. We should asap offer him to Napoli as I heard they want him

raumdeuter:
Pep wins because he has spent the most money

Since you termed it a wee trophy that shouldn't be counted then I see no need for this

patrickmuf:
Yet some people were arguing that Rashford is better than Sterling, Ibra better than Aguero and so on, for all of Pep brilliance, one thing I like about him is his ability to ship out average players in his team...
Over at United, Mourinho is still keeping Darmian, Blind and a host of other utterly useless players whereas Pep wasted no time in shipping out Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov (Who can still do a job), Navas, Nolito and the rest.

Add Rojo to that list. Nansense player

PietroRico:
The Carabao cup didn't matter anyway..
