Vs Manchester United 26th November

[Btay]

Fuck sake. This is never a 0-3 game

[Matt Tiger]

Piss poor right there. Just stopped tracking back or marking.

[chicagoblue]

Save the big hitters up front. Get Beto and the kid on

Am I ok to reopen that debate where I said Young should be hooked after he shows his costly age related legginess even if the offence takes place within the customary 20 minutes? 
 

pretty sure I’ve been shouted down on that a few times…. But in advance - fuck off to anyhow who disagrees. 

It's a fair shout.

Not sure if Young was part of a debate between us in the last game? I can't remember...but I tend to get off the forum as soon as I feel I'm getting heated. Not here for that these days . So haven't read your response!

BUT...yes. He's looking worse and older each game. I'll still say that Coleman will slot right in ASAP. And I'm not convinced Young was meant to play this much.

Agree, but we’ve been terrible this half.

[Gwlad]

I'm off now. Don't think they were that good but we are not at the races against the BIG teams. Not the lads fault. 

[Newty82]

Haven't got going this half like we would have expected us to.

Unjust score line this.

But that's down to us.

This Man Utd side are flaky as fuck and under their own pressure.  I know the early goal threw us off, but we didn’t pressure them from the off, which is what we needed to do, and when we did get round to it we weren’t ruthless enough. And we just haven’t turned up this half when the match was still there. Such a pity.

myko shot hitting the bar pretty much somes the game up. fine margins been against us today.

Poor finishing has been against today mate.

0-1 we should have at least equalised & then we give away a pen which all but finished the game off. 

[plaidharper]

hard one to take. hopefully we bring our shooting boots to forest and leave young at home.

Or maybe put Young in the boot and drive him out into the forest and leave him there.

You’d be reported to the RSPCA for cruelty to squirrels if you did that. 

[Sibdane]

Finishing cost us at least a point then we folded with the Martial goal. Rough result considering the situation we’ve been put in. 

[Newty82]

Frustrating that one.

We did a lot right. More composure around their goal would have changed that game massively.

Tough one to take. But we know we're going to have more losses than wins.

I think you’re right about Young, but I also think others — including but not limited to me — have said the same.  So if you’ve been shouted down, you’ve also been shouted up.

[Palfy]

Oh well shite happens disappointed but not deflated let’s smash Forest next week. 

[Tonsta]

2 points, this obsession with young has to stop, and keeping him on for 20 mins after the penalty is beyond belief.

2np point MacNeil needs to show some bottle and work ethic, he has back to player he was under Lampard.

Very disappointed huge step backwards against the weakest man utd we have faced for a long time.

We played the occasion not the team in front of us.

100% the enormity of expectations got to us and the players froze in front of goal. Disappointing but not disastrous in the context of the season. 

[Newty82]

Another home game where we've had 20+ shots...and failed to score!

We're bossing teams at GP...but our lack of natural finishers is killing us.

[Zoo 2.0]

Shit our pants there big time. Absolutely raging that we fucked that up. 

Created tons of chances but absolutely nobody in a blue shirt had that bit of quality to make the right decision. With calmer heads that could have been a different game.

The Premier League and PGMOL will be wanking each other off all season to get us relegated, so just one game at a time I guess - it's going to be a real slog against 12 men each week until May.

Doucouré is DCL’s main goal-scoring support, but he misses so many opportunities that it’s a major, major problem.  Consistently, once or twice per match, the camera shows him in close-up, hands on head, disbelieving he missed.  But in fact it’s easy to believe, because he misses repeatedly.

Great energy, clearly one of our best eleven, and perhaps there’s no better position for him.  But for us to stay up, he has to score some goals.  If the most consistent Doucouré-sighting is his all-too-common “disbelieving hands-on-head,” we’ll continue to be in big trouble.

He is also our top goal scorer.

[Wiggytop]

100% we crumbled under the home pressure today, we need to get back to winning ways at home. 
The crowd were incredible at the start, possibly overawed some of the players, plus a killer goal so early.

Fair point.  It may be that I don’t give him enough credit because he’s also our top goal misser.  Clear first-half missed attempt in the box, given the perfect pass to his feet, is too common from him.

[Matt]

Voice is completely gone. The officials screwed us again. Time to rest. 

[Harv]

We will come back strong against Forest.

Tough place to go play though

Other than a worldy of a goal we shut down United really effectively and I can't remember them troubling us tbh. We had more than enough chances (and very good ones at that) to at least go in at half-time level but we didn't convert them. I really feel that if we had have gone in level (maybe even ahead) then we win that game today. I reckon the players and fans would have been fired up big time to get the job done.

We come out in the second half and it started a bit slowly and then the melon that is Ashley fucking Young decides we haven't seen enough of him being an absolute dick head and he needs to display it again to make sure that we all know it without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks for that Ashley but you really don't need to show it any more. Now fuck off somewhere else.

And that was pretty much that tbh - the players and crowd then became very flat. The players huffed and puffed but there wasn't much there really.

Pretty much that for me too. Dyche got out Dyche'd by Ten Hag.
