Watching that goal again, what in the fuck is Lindelof even doing there? He really is fucking useless and it’s fully on Ole for continuing to pick him.

[Rustin Cohle]

What really amazes me is that, a few seasons ago (I think Jose's last season/Ole's caretaker period, but maybe the season before), didn't Lindelof actually look quite good? He had
plenty of room to improve, he definitely needed to bulk up, but his passing and positioning were good and it looked like there was the making of a very good centre back there.

I haven't imagined that have I? He really did look good once right? An astounding fall from (somewhat) grace.

No, but we've got a few lads who played under Fergie and remember a few of his defensive drills (not that well as they were mostly on the attacking end), that's enough right? Ole certainly thinks so.

I don’t think we have any decent coaches just ex players that know the clubs DNA

I think it was his 2nd season. His 1st was rough, then he improved now he seems to have regressed.

Na he did, can't remember the exact period but he had a couple of months where he looked like there was a real defender in there.

We've won 21 points from behind this season; the next best is Leicester with 12. It's nice that we are showing a strong mentality, better than the past few years for sure, but a real 'what if' over whether we'd be able to seriously win something if we could defend and just prevent the ridiculous goals in the first place.

Our ability to win points from behind is probably overstated this season. Imagine a full stadium with supporters piling it on when we go down a goal. These pricks would shit themselves.

[Stretty]

Donny can turn this round in his 4 minutes on the pitch

[Stew]

I’m glad I stood up for Fred’s passing during the week.

Well this is horrendous.

[keanosdog16]

Not picking up any 2nd balls, losing the battle every where....

[Chris]

20 minutes gone. 1 shot each. There's was in the 2nd minute which they scored from.

Any chance of urgency?

[aneverhappyred]

Looks like its going to be the 2nd half this week where we show up. We can't put 2 halves together.

[Stew]

Our third best player this season is Rashford imo. Why in the name of fuck is he being moved to accommodate Martial, who has probably been one of our worst?

[fergiegiveusawave]

They're dealing with us incredibly easy so far. Probably because there's not much to deal with.
