Other football - 2020/21

[El Rojo]

In a roundabout way, our awful form probably inflated the perception of Solskjaer’s ‘reign’, which is no bad thing. 
 

Still, have to laugh at all the irrational fear

around Pochettino taking them over a while back, a manager who, consistent with the rest of his managerial career, somehow managed to not win the French league with PSG, which is an absolutely remarkable feat. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Villarreal seem quite well organised. They're defending well with the two deep banks of four. Emery will probably play for the 1-nil from here. He'll probably put full backs on in front of his conventional full backs as the second half progresses to make them even more defensive. 

 

They're average going forward though. I echo what others have said. They're ridiculously slow. Although they've got a fast-ish Nigerian winger on the bench. 

[an tha]

58 pts and 7th in La Liga.

 

10 losses.

 

Not exactly a good side are they - especially given how shite we have seen Real Madrid and Barcelona are this season.

 

 

[Chocoholic]

Why have the Villareal players not bust a gut to get in the box to support the run, there?

Nigerian winger is injured, actually. 

[Dr Nowt]

Need to get in 1-0 at half-time.

[Red_or_Dead]

Absolutely not watching this shite.  Especially if the scum go in at half time losing with that insane record of winning after losing at half time.  Come on Moron, score the winner here, and repay some of the shit you did in the last EUFA cup final.

Villarreal taking negative football to the next level here.

Emery’s ridiculously good in this competition, though. Odd manager.

Early days yet but invest all your money in NorwichScarvesLTD, their stock could be through the roof in 90 minutes.

Delia will be out at half time asking where the supporters are.

Smash n grab my arse

Yellow subs too negative no way i see them holding out think Mancs with Fernandes and Cavani will find a way

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Emery will have them wasting time and full of histrionics as the second half progresses. Like he did with Seville against us in Basle.

Can't blame the subs being negative when the fuckers on the pitch are hanging back...

If the subs come on, so will Alberto Moreno. Better staying back.

Scum are there for the taking, poor defense, and a clueless midfield. Villareal should just go out of their own half sometimes and run at them. You can't win a game of football with eleven men in front of your goalkeeper. Come on y'all!

Please don’t. We’re not Leeds fans. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Little in-play bet on Rulli to be booked. Based on the time wasting angle. 

[Jairzinho]

Oh it's United penalty time.

More of a penalty than the one against us at Brighton.
