I’d rather we just got knocked out altogether.

he’s actually playing Pogba. Desperate man.

 

Holy shit he took Telles off at half time to leave Shaw on only to take Shaw off. Wtf.

 

Was just about to say the same. Pogba shouldn't be playing. Really poor.

 

Heh

 

Knew it lol

 

What a fucking joke of a penalty. That was a free kick to Leipzig.

 

Has Pogba done literally anything since coming on?

Edit - the timing on this one potentially could not be better haha

 

lol

 

That shouldn’t have been a goal either.

 

Watching us scramble to try get a goal is fucking hilarious.

 

This alongside the Millwall fans booing their own players taking a knee recently has been incredibly disheartening.

 

At the time it was just rubbing salt in the would. Hilarious that is what knocks us out.

 

Welp

 

It was fate.

 

So Wednesday are now 6 games in to the Pulis reign. We’ve drawn three and lost 3 in that time. Scoring only 3 goals.

Tonight’s performance was genuinely the worse we’ve played since we were last relegated from the championship under Alan Irvine. We were 2-0 down after 20 minutes. We played like a shit Iceland, with every player determined not to leave their own half, but instead of a solid defence they passed round us like we weren’t there. The second half we had a bit more of a crack at them but we seriously lacked the quality and motivation to have a proper go at them.

It’s strange at the minute because we can never go the first half without a sending off or a key player getting injured. Huddersfield put in two tackle on Patterson that were identical to the Windass sending off vs Preston and the Shaw sending off vs Reading. Patto is a physical player though and not a flair player so he doesn’t get the same protection from refs.

Pulis must be sacked now before he can bring in his own players. The chairman must wake up and realise his defend at all cost managers won’t work in the championship. 4 poor appointments on the bounce and we’re a world away from the team that made the playoffs 3 and a half years ago.

 

Gonna be fantastic at the weekend when Ole is still our manager and De Gea is still in goal

 

Just wait till he tries the 3/5ATB again, despite us never looking good in it. Every time, the players look like they've just met each other and have no idea where they are.

 

I have no idea what formation we started with. It was a 3 at the back, the three centre backs were Lindelof, Maguire, and AWB. We had no right back, or right midfielder. Shaw was playing on the left side in between the defence and midfield, and Telles was playing... eh somewhere? What a fucking mess of a tactical set up.

 

I legit have no clue what the fuck they do for the 6 days prior to game day.

 

"So I won the corner just after we'd got the equaliser. And you thinks we can't get the winner but Teddy flicked on Becks' corner and I stuck my leg out and put it into the back of the net."

"Yeah cool boss but what formation are we playing? Game starts in ten minutes."

 

Sounds pretty spot on.

 

He brought TFM and Williams, a centre back masquerading as a full back and a full back that can’t defend or attack, on with twelve minutes left to chase the game ffs

 

It was a mess
