mr footy 36 Posted January 11, 2020 Yes we got well beaten today but it is a learning curve for most of our squad. We will fight until it is impossible to avoid regulation. Then and only then should we think of next season.We as a club should be proud of our squad for giving it their best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted January 11, 2020 But we didn't fight today. We committed 7 fouls all game and got no cards. I don't think anyone can say we left everything in the pitch. We also rested our striker. But apparently it's Delia's fault.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted January 11, 2020 We were awful today, spoke to somebody who went and they thought we were very poor, the BBC pundits thought we were poor and based on the comments from DF he thought we were poor, no getting away from it really, a very bad day at the office. What I will say that it is less damaging losing to Man Utd, lets be honest at the start of the season most of us would have written that result off, we need to start winning against the teams around us, so wins against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Southampton, Brighton, Watford, West Ham and Burnley and hope to pick up points against Wolves, Sheff Utd and Everton and all will be well....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) So much of the outcome at this level is affected by player's mental rather than physical state. It was clear we didn't believe we could get anything today, perhaps because Pukki was out and everyone knows how influential he is to the team. I don't think anyone gave up per se, but we were playing a Manchester United team chock full of internationals, not Millwall (due respect to Millwall) so playing at 4/5th speed gets you properly worked over.   Edited January 11, 2020 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,010 Posted January 11, 2020 Some pretty scathing comments elsewhere about our performance and lack of effort today. I don't think there was a lot of pride out there tbh. We will expect a response against Bournemouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,010 Posted January 11, 2020 Pukki has a hamstring injury. We don't want him to become a Harry Kane, so probably best to rest him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong and it turns out he's out for the season. But if you listen to Daniel Farke he is confident Teemu will be fit. Have you ever seen any side get a result at Old Trafford making just 7 fouls and no cards? Perhaps Delia should have run on the pitch and put a few challenges in.

Indy 3,471 Posted January 11, 2020 Arhhh the double injury bluff, doesn’t that normally mean he’s been sold? Wasn’t Sutton & Ashton a double bluff scenario! I’m worried now we’ve sold Pukki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
