Chaser

They're just flooding their area everytime we come forward. It's been a game plan thats thwarted us in the last few games and it's working for them. That's why we've had so much possession because we struggle with it being so tight in the final third.

I know we're trying to work it into a clear opportunity but theres been quite a few times where we would have been better having a pop, especially with bodies in the box. Maxi has had the opportunity a couple of times for an early cross but has chosen to go inside instead.

As soon as it went to VAR I knew there was only going to be one outcome, he could have been waving in clear space and they would have found an angle and bodypart to play off. It's become farcical. They write the narrative.

I almost felt like crying when that 2nd one went in, only the 9yr old sat next to me stopped me. This feels like a curse. Every time these fuckers, every time the same result. They've managed to nullify our threat from wide forcing us through the middle but Wilson and Miggy look a bit disconnected from the midfield. Man Utd haven't threatened much in open play so we can only hope rather than anything else that we spring 2 goals on them 2nd half.

This isn't looking great for Schar

C'mon boys!

Well our fans have already beaten theirs just on spectacle..

He looks nervous to me, but that could just be my nerves.

Likewise. As soon as I saw them 2, thought we were going to have to suffer. I might see what Beinsports is doing for commentary.

Yeah always good to drop a jean size pre match.

Nerves kicked in now like.

As far as results go, it was probably better to see them progress for another 2 extra games but could have done with a few knocks and some extra time to get there.

I was going to spend the afternoon in Newcastle but I'm more pessimistic than I was a few weeks ago and I'd be on my own.

Karma, for having to listen to his shit at the weekend

Liverpool not doing too well

Anyone else particularly pissed off that man Utd seem to have discovered a natural finished in Rashford? The kid can't miss at the moment. He's dug them out so many times this season.

If we can appeal, and the appeal can be heard before next week then I say we appeal and take the risk of escalation.

He's going to Karius to glory

I was absolutely boiling after Pope's red. My phone was going off with all the red arseholes I have to suffer and I was worried we would be getting pumped for more. Instead, after a shakey recovery we weathered the storm. 2nd half we were without doubt the better side and I thought the guys really dug in and played some good stuff. Maxi had an excellent game but I thought Longy was a close second. Was playing some really tight football and winning balls all over the pitch. Despite losing, felt a lot less negative about the game by the final whistle. In Karius we trust.

We could get something out of this but similarly one more for them and it's absolutely dead in the water. Bit frustrating as I think aside from the defensive howlers, we've played pretty well. Suddenly the Scouse WhatsApp contacts have woken up this season too so I need to fuck them off if we can grab a point.

Just an aside, it'll be Karius next week .....

Sick of fucking hearing the spitting cunt already

Can't work who out who is the bigger arsehole, Martinez or Arteta.

Why are we looking to choose between one or the other? I'd love us to get Champs league qualification, and I'd love to see us to the red Mancs next week. If I had to choose, it would be to win a cup. The other will sort itself out.
