EPL Matchday 20

[pantskyle]

Simply disgusting effort from United and from Ole. Got what we finally deserved from our continued slow starts.

 

[Cluggage]

I love the smell of a United loss in the morning

 

[Bradesmaen]

No deflected shot winners this week for United

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

No deflected shot winners this week for United

No penalties for Bruno to pad his numbers from either.

 

[DBAH0]

Think I'm happy with every result today.

Draw for Spurs vs. Pool tomorrow please.

Managers to see their team beaten by Sheffield United this season:

Steve Bruce
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Sheffield have only scored twice in a twice this year. Both against Manure

 

[jd2010]

We have no defenders.

Matip and Fabinho not fit?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Matip and Fabinho not fit?

 

[SM]

Matip and Fabinho not fit?

Is Fabinho really a defender?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Is Fabinho really a defender?

Considering he played right back for Monaco..

 

[jd2010]

Is Fabinho really a defender?

He'd be in the top ten CBs in the league (or very close to it) even though he is a jack of all trades

 

[Sozabarus]

Matip and Fabinho not fit?

Matip did train apparently so hopefully. Fabinho is not a defender. He's doing a job but as we saw against United, it's not his natural position + it means we miss him in midfield.

Will be a tight game tomorrow I think.

On occasion. David Meyler occasionally played RB for us that doesn't make him a defender.

 

[QuietB]

Lmao.
Said it a few weeks ago and got laughed at here for using XG.
City are the best team this year by miles. Gonna romp this league home

You would think so. Apparently a settled defence is pretty important. Liverpool and City have basically swapped places this season.

I'd take him over all of our CBs. But I think that might say more about our lot than Fabinho.

Yep. Was always gonna happen. Those 2 sides have set a ridiculously high bar over the last few years.
Both sides had huge holes in defence at points.

I think city win the champs league this year. Something differently defensively.

Over half the games.

 

[SM]

Over half the games.

Of his career?

They were saying yesterday that no-one has scored against them in the prem since November. That is crazy good.

 

[Cruyff14]

Shhhh

You could learn a thing or two and try being objective for a change.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I'd take him over all of our CBs. But I think that might say more about our lot than Fabinho.

LOL

 

[Loonerty]

Callum Hudson-Odoi is the best defender in the league.

 

[Zidane98]

They were saying yesterday that no-one has scored against them in the prem since November. That is crazy good.

They wont even let Garcia go with 5 CBs on their books.

Meanwhile we cant even jimmie up 10-15m quid for a short term CB signing with both our first choice CBs out for the season and the other made of glass.
