Looking like we have a top 3 place sorted now too after Rotherham lost last night, 9 points above them with a game in hand and they have 10 left. Just be gutted if we have play offs after this as we always fail in them.
God's Plan
I don't see how that's relevant to playing a team that don't come out of their own half.
More because of the disparity in resources, transfer fees and "big-name" players, I'd imagine. I also had a strong feeling that they were in trouble after the first leg. 0-0 is a poor result, really.
Alexis has struggled since he joined. Maybe he just needs an offseason but he does look short of explosiveness and reminds me of Valencia just before he got moved back. He doesn't look good enough to influence tight games atm. Constantly playing him is a different problem. He has killed playing time for Rashford, Martial and Lingard while delivering nothing. Watch him without the ball. He doesn't seem to know what he should be doing. I assume at Arsenal he stood on the last man? But with Jose only Lukaku can do that.Agreed,karma. Watch City massacre them in the quarter finals
Sanchez?Dunno where to begin. Ideally when he was signed he was to be played on the right, but for the most part that does not seem to have happened. Not only have his performances have been poor, but his signing seems to have upset the balance of the team and possibly may lead to the premature departure of Martial who was bossing it before he arrived. Martial who seven years younger than Sanchez could be a world beater if persisted with.
Its easy to blame Jose for Sanchez losing form, as he there is history of him mismanaging those players, but there is also another concern about Sanchez which you alluded to,
Is he on the wane? It was easy to blame Wenger and Arsenal's mediocrity for his sluggish season before Christmas, but he is a player who is reliant on exlosiveness and when I watch him these days he seems a step slower than he was when he was bossing it for Arsenal. The concern for United is they may have a Rooney on there hands, a declining talent on an absolute monster salary contributing **** all.
Its premature to write him off, but initial signs are not promising.
Tell me about it. My play-off memories are all bad ones, other than the away semi last year which was as good a night as I’ve ever had following Tranmere but counted for nothing in the end.
Been a thing for years.
As has bloody Rangers busting coupons on a Saturday. Useless bar stewards.
