Ah, that was some funny shit.
Ah, that was some funny shit.
Theo was our best player today.
Won a penalty and scored. Should have taken the penalty as well.
The fact some thought it was acceptable to replace them with some kid who had barely played league football is shocking in itself, but such is the drop in expectations at the club that this has now become OK.
Today through no fault of his own he got found out, he played a couple games did OK and people were already hailing him as something amazing (a bit like Eboue a few years ago), he'll get better but he needs to learn for a while.....should be nowhere near the 1st team at a top club though, the fact he is is a sad indictment of the transfer policy at the club.
25, 26, 27. The numbers of the #AFC players sent off so far in league games this season. Rudderless.
That was Jenkinsons fault though.
He left so much space for Evra to run in to.
Good on Theo for giving him a bollocking
Basically, it needed a team performance today to keep United at bay. None of the front three put a proper shift. Yes, they scored two (flukey) goals so the statistics suggest they did their job, but they also let a weak, three man midfield get completely rogered by United for the full 90.
The fact that both United full-backs spent most of the game playing as wingers tells you everything you need to know about Arshavin and Walcott's work-rate and attitude. It's just not good enough from supposedly 'world class' players who should be our talismans when things get tough.
