Office suite, three piece suite with matching ottomans...? I didn't notice what he was wearing, apart from a guilty look first half with a thought bubble saying, "Oh f..ck! I royally f...ed up today! I hope they blame my suit!"Poch wears a suite and we loose! #bringbackthetracksuite
Walker is the most frustrating player out of all of them for me. He's got everything physical in the bag to make a sensational player... if he only had a brain!
Well at least we know now that champions league is not gonna happen. Better to know early in the long run I suppose. Thats the only positive I could fathom from today....
stats shmats. If United had really gone for it, they couldve easily score more in the second half. They were happy for us to keep the ball because we were completely toothless and would lose it eventually. They put their feet up second half, it was a piss easy day at the office for them.Just a note on stats.
The stats showed we were shit.
The stats also showed that Man Ure were not as good as the score suggests.
Now, if we had put in a performance up to our usual standards, the pressing, the high tempo, etc then I think we would have beat them, therefore I believe it was just a particularly bad day at the office!!
At least they didn't say we have to "bounce back" next week
We are a novice team, a work in progress. Nowhere near ready to get in the top four. Today showed we are miles away. Next season, who knows...COYS
Here you go:
Goals conceded over last three months in the PL only: 3,0,1,1,1,0,3,2,1,0,1,3,3,2,2,1,3,
That's not really inconsistent at all. I't common knowledge that we simply cannot defend.
For a coach who played in defence for club and country it's not really acceptable. And for all those saying that this is not his team, nor are the teams that Pulis, Pardew and Sherwood inherited and in half the time that Poch has had, have made inroads into reducing the number of goals conceded.
It is no longer an excuse to use players inherited as the reason for piss poor defending as far as i am concerned. Like i said in an earlier posting, this side is playing very much like it was under Ardiles, and we all know how that ended up. Any team purposing to be of CL making has a defence worth a shit, and we have a chicken headed right back, failed left winger at left back and two centre half's who at times play like it's there first game together. Lloris must top up on fucking Valium before every game.
Hard to argue with you dude. Trouble is we are inconsistent to boot. One week we thrash Chelsea, the next we draw with Burnley, and the week after that we lose to Crystal Palace.Here you go:

Yes. If you go literally by what you wrote, and all 3 of them were on at the same time.Would stamboli capoue dembele offered any better protection? I seriously doubt it
It was a desperate "this is shit, give it to Kane to do something" tactic. The lad never stood a chance.pretty abysmal from about the 3rd minute onwards, less said about the pathetic defending the better but we played zero football either and where did all of these useless hoofs forward come from? we haven't resorted to that crap for ages. the team was wrong, poch is showing himself to be stubbornly unadaptable and it just felt like a return to our wilting days. however disappointing that game was though, i'm not going to partake in all of the typical rhetoric about how all of our players are useless and need replacing. it's a process, this was a bad blip but it's been a positive progression upto this point and hopefully the team doesn't dwell on a terrible day at the office.

14 in the last 6 is appalling....We have the 16th worse defence in the league. We have conceded exactly 1.5 goals on average per game meaning we typically need 2 goals at least to win a game. Sometimes you need to win ugly and a scrappy 1-0. We are unable to do this - given

To be honest, we were sucker punched today. I don't think anyone realised United had a performance like that in their locker, and by the time we worked it out it was too late.
