Binky Griptite Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think Wilder has a point on the inconsistency of playing on when the flag goes up, you either play to the end of every phase or you don't ever play on to the end of the phase. Picking and choosing opens the new rules up to all sorts of scrutiny and cries of injustice. That said, its hilarious that this should happen to United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris will have to console himself with Lisa Blade sucking the life out of him tonight instead First game they surprised him and Villa got battered. Second game in the derby, Bruce was prepared and had learnt from the Villa game. Third game last night he as you said had well and truly got his number.

Dont let the ball bounce 2. Play to the referees whistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say the pre match build up clips were excellent and the one where the ‘panel’ are discussing the match pre match, Jermaine Jenas absolutely nails it re dem blavdes I must admit, I downloaded it the other day, and for a first time effort into the footballing world so to speak I think it was excellent coverage. What could be better than Waddle commentating on a pig defeat. The Merseyside derby was excellent too. As soon as the goals go in, you get to view them on the app. Thumbs up from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre game They get up for the big games but this could be one where they struggle, I mean they got beat at home by Southampton Were now at that place where they’re not a surprise anymore You can’t break down they’re hard work, but Steve Bruce has got that element of surprise up his sleeve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 "Wilder and his teams have one way of playing. Long balls down the outside channels and percentage crosses in to the box. High press and hundred miles an hour when not in possession." This was said to me some years back by a scout at Halifax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 They remind me of Arsenal alot in that regard. They have one way of playing, which, when it works, is brilliant and teams can't cope, BUT, when it doesn't, or a team susses them out, they have no plan B, and the manager can't change the gameplan or the tactics to suit the game.

OhForAnotherShez Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 How I enjoyed seeing that mardy face again - god I've missed it! Tell you what, call it 1-0, but i hope there's not too much life left to suck out, now pick your toys up, or it's naughty step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Lose to Norwich, no doubt a team they think they should be beating, & the cracks might start to appear. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Newcastle got it right up to the goal pinging passes about and get them chasing shadows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think they get a bit found out when teams drop deep and deny them space. Once that happens, it becomes very direct and predictable. Tbf, their standard of crossing is pretty good. Your likes of Norwood can whip in a very good ball for a McBurnie to get his head on. Still think they will stop up tbh. At the very least, they work harder than many of the teams in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 They'll stop up. But I can then all see it going to poo , much like Udd's. I also think Wilder will be off too, when things don't start going his way and bigger clubs come calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 They’ve got a key 4 games approaching. They face Man City twice, Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham over the new year so, if they don’t get anything from Villa or Norwich, they’re bang in trouble.

Guest Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 United lack quality can't deny they work hard but effort can only get you so far. I think the Christmas period will be a massive eye opener for them when they have to rotate the sqaud, it showed last night that without Mousset and McGoldrick up top they are massively lacking. Couple of times noticed how the commentators mentioned how ineffective Fleck was. Norwood on the other hand is a quality player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood is a decent footballer. Technically he's very good and he has a nice range of passing and delivery from set plays. I just wonder if the tactic of Newcastle was to leave him to it. Drop deep and then you largely curtail his ability to dictate the play in an offensive manner. Yes, he kept things ticking over, but they were struggling to really get in behind Newcastle. Thought Fleck and Lundstram were pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_1 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Really hoping for cricket scores when it's Man City on the Sunday and then Liverpool 4 days later. Both away games with Christmas inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the one making United tick. Certainly seemed the tactic from Bruce was to let him have it and not to press him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
