As soon as VDV got injured the Club should have been prepping for the market to open if they were deadly serious about defending the title. I mean everyone knew it was a compressed season and that injuries could happen frequently AND that we had some very injury prone players, lots of us called it in the summer. Its nuts.

Sorry Stacks, i was equating standing still to the CB situation. Even Jurgen is not the same. The fiesty, charming and ruthless Jurgen is missing. He used to crow about teams wanting to "steal our points of us", now he looks like and acts like he's had enough, and I wouldn't blame him really, we see what happened with our own eyes and he no doubt see the same.

And thats the crux of it. You can't even say thats wrong and against the rules which it fundamentally is. They just bend the rules like they did tonight and come out with a load of bollocks. So apparently tonight what City did was legal. If thats so why don't teams always do it? Because its bollocks thats why.

You can never stand still in football. You can never limp along hoping to pick up the big prizes. When injuries effect team performance you get in stop gaps, you have to be prepared. We have done nothing to suggest this club wants to retain the honours the team have worked hard to win. Its seems like everyone, and I'm including Jurgen here, is ready to throw in the towel this season. We deserve whatever coming our way.

Think I'm pretty much done now with footy to be honest. This is the worst season in living memory. The games gone.

Fucking rank. Firmino and Salah need hauling over hot fucking coals, they were utterly dismal. Fancy being dominated by Shaw and Lindelof? No title for us this year I'm afraid.

Typical. I dived off because all I was doing was arguing. I've replied to your post, nothing insulting and already you are starting. Why?

He also called Oblak until the reds didn't see it through.

This. They've done it so often since coming here its just standard for them.

So practically everyone has caught up to us now.

I miss Barry Davies.

Surely they would have known how tall he was before they held talks?

Well, quite. Of course FSG could dip into their own wallets but won't, even though you'd expect them to protect their assets status.

They can't. Also the no fans thing is beginning to shape the league. Its no coincidence United are doing well since the ban on fans into stadiums. They have thrived off the lack of pressure that comes from performing in pressure cooker situations, especially at home where some of the performances, even lately would see the crowd getting on their backs. In football you pay for the best and you train them to perform at the highest level which includes the pressure cooker of consistency inside full stadia. Its no wonder, Villa, Everton, Soton and co are doing well. Then you have the refs who not only don't answer to anyone, but no longer have to deal with a crowd on their backs over their decision making and VAR which is simply another version of inconsistency. I hope they shut the game and season down because frankly, its unbearable at the moment. Its a shadow of its former self.

I can understand, to a degree, the cost implications because of the no fans situation, but not looking at a loan is quite unforgivable for a Club this size.
