Match Thread Manchester United v Leicester FA Cup R4

[homer]

Coulibaly defies explanation.

The only possible explanation is that this manager bloke is a total twat

There is one other one of course.

 

[Brown Nose]

But I give you Justin, Faes, Soumare, DCR and Ayew from last week

Lack of application, you say?

But the week before they all did really well too. When was the last time Buonanotte positively influenced a game?

As the manager keeps saying, our main problem is inconsistency. If someone shows something he'll get a run of games. The problem right now is that nobody is putting a run of good performances in.

I don't have anything positive to say about this squad. They're all shit. But if you're trying to set standards, as RvN keeps saying, you cannot just throw someone in that doesn't deserve it. It sends the totally wrong message.

If Bounanotte comes on tonight and does well, he'll be step closer to deserving a chance.

So nice to see our manager laughing along with and hugging all the Yanited players isn’t it

 

[Graz]

Coulibaly just sums up the ****ing mess we are in doesn't it?

 

[Graz]

I think I'll switch off when we're 3 down.

Doubt I'll make it to half time

 

[Brown Nose]

Survived the first 10 seconds.

 

[homer]

We’ve made it past the first ten seconds, so game on….

Ayew has been piss poor 5 out of the last 6 times he's played but he's persisted with him. Faes, Justin, Vestergaard... All have been ****ing awful for weeks and weeks but he's persisted with them.

That's one of the frustration many of us are feeling; there haven't been enough changes to the starting eleven.

 

[homer]

Ayew on the left

 

[homer]

Already enjoying Super Pats

Lovely

 

[popillius]

Daka will be all over Maguire for pace tonight.

If only he was a footballer.

 

[Billyjof]

Good start so far. Confidence builder if anything.

 

[Singapore Fox]

They at least look up for it, pressing United when in possession

 

[popillius]

El Khannouss really is shit at set pieces.

 

[jb5000]

Well we've not conceded in 15 minutes, so this is a massive improvement from the team...

Like I say, nobody is doing enough with the possible exception of El Khannouss. You can just change all 11 every week but we only have a couple of teams worth of players so they'll be back in again after missing one.

The reason Buonanotte is different is because what he's been doing under RvN is clearly different to someone like Ayew. Ayew works his socks off for the team. He's piss poor most of the time but that's better than being a liability.

 

[homer]

Sweet Baby Jebus, this is rotten, isn't it?

 

[pork pie fox]

We must have given the ball away sloppily about 10 times now.

Sounds about right.
