[Elpojohn]

Its not looking good, Relegation material . unless something Drastic unfolds.

[onsideman]

How is he writing him off? All he’s saying (correctly) is that Diouf hasn’t played well in this match. 

 

 

Exactly

Not sure anyone has though

We've been landed with some absolute shite by a succession of managers, haven't we?

[Full Claret Jacket]

Well we have been outplayed but Man Utd havent really done an awful lot either. Penalty a gift from a keeper we have seen is suspect and less than commanding in the area. 
Disappointing than Bowen and Fullkrug have no service. Wan Bissaka our best player. 
We lack sharpness and cohesion. Midfield is slow and lacking invention. 

[Vexed]

We can’t get him the ball. Nothing in midfield. No service at all. This is why it doesn’t matter what striker we buy at the moment and it’s not the priority. They’ll be dropping so deep to get involved or standing around with their hands on their hips. 

It's disturbing that we're three weeks away from the start of the season and we haven't been linked with anyone that fixes our midfield problems. 

Agree. It’s astonishing. I’ve no doubt that potter and Macauley have identified players that would help out but getting Sullivan to buy them is going to be the problem seen as he’d apparently rather chase his own targets and help out his mates. 

 

 

 

 

I'm not convinced Potter and his boyfriend have a clue what they're doing. Well out of their depth.

Dismal half of football that. Exactly as clueless as we were at the end of last season. I want to see a different midfield second half and for Potter to stop wasting Bowen up top, the hapless cսnt. 

Gonna be a long old season by the looks of it.

I got us at 14/1 to get relegated  a month ago, I look forward to a few nice meals and beers out next May.

[Iron Duke]

What I’ve learnt so far is we are still shit, and Sky are as biased as usual. Same as it always was.

[twoleftfeet]

So far Diouf has looked very poor. Offered nothing and barely had a touch. 

 

 

That’s it right him off.

Grow up

 

Fucking hell, what a comeback from one of the wet cardboard army. Fuck off you fairy. Look at the state of this game already, we're employing a system that plays out best player by a country mile out of position for fucks sake. Let's count how often we play the ball around at the back and then down the wing and then lose it shall we? I reckon we've done that ten times already. Twenty seven diabolical minutes in and we've not had an attack.

But it's alright it's only pre season. Three weeks we'll be shit hot yeah? Fucking idiot. 

 

Pointless arguing with a hysterical tart

Ain't that the truth.
Took me three divorces to figure it oot

[threesixty]

Same as last season. We have no clue on how to build an attack. Lots of passing in unthreatening areas. This guys had 7 months to work out how to do this. 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Five mins in, we've been roasted for pace three times in Central defence and Areola drops and absolute clanger. Stuff we all knew was wrong with the team that hasn't been addressed. Great stuff Potter. 

 

I’m sure Potter knows what we need but rather than blame him why don’t you blame the owner who won’t buy the players we need. 

If Potter ain't getting what he needs then he should jack it in. But he won't because nobody else would employ the cսnt. He's the human equivalent of wet cardboard. 

 

 

BREXIT

[Vexed]

I heard a rumour that Fulkrug is playing in this game. Must be in the witness protection scheme or something.

Result doesn't matter in this but we really ought to be looking more competent than this. We could easily be 3 or 4 down here. Dismal Potterball. 

[El Scorchio]

Our efforts to press are horrible. And our efforts against the press are equally woeful. 

[onsideman]

[El Scorchio]

We need midfielders to start being competitive. Instead of this Sullivan is trying to sign a geriatric crocked striker. Any manager we have will face exactly the same problems when trying to build a functioning team. It wouldn’t even matter if we binned potter off. We’d still have exactly the same mess of a wonky lopsided inadequate squad while he focuses on sucking off his agent mates rather than addressing the needs of his team. 

[Pi Alpha Nu]

I know it's only a pre season friendly but it's not good to watch. I think I'll go to bed.

Rodriguez proving again that he's probably the worst player to ever receive a world cup winners medal

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

I missed the goal but Man United look fucking woeful. This match  looks like an early  relegation battle.

[Pub Bigot]

First 20 odd minutes hasn’t looked great, but it’s not an indication of anything to come.

Areola is two-bob though, and aside from the worlds worst haircut, his decision making is dodgy, which was compounded how we conceded that penalty. Dick. 

[iphammer]

all over the place in defence. Tobido and Kilman are too slow
