United's schedule for Oct/Nov...... I predict 3 wins, 5 loses and 2 draws

[ilovepantyhose]

another disappointing result at home where it should be won

the good:
- DDG is in good form with several saves but could not do anything about the counterattack goal
- fernandes involvement in another goal
- martial finally broke his goal drought

the bad:
- OGS unnecessarily rotated his players again, why rotate?? why can't he pick his strongest XI, kill the game off and then bring on subs??
- AWB and shaw didn't overlap much to stretch the everton defence, they seem slow to accelerate down the flanks
- poor supply/service to the attackers
- fernandes corner was poor and everton countered, fred decided not to commit a tactical foul and that led to the equaliser. its another worrying trend that man u have become open to counterattacks, need to assign 3 men to stay back instead of 2

I can't imagine if Calvert Lewin and Richarlison were playing, Utd should be capitulated in front of their own fans.

I thought everything is setting up nicely after lazy Martial (what a surprise, but this just means OGS will keep on putting him on) open the scoring.....

Terrible...and again lacklustre display at OT.

So last night's draw (shd say loss) to Everton was due mainly to Mcfred again...particularly his god son Fred who was robbed of the ball in midfield by opposition midfielders who then ran super speed to score their goal with all the devil defenders missing ..when is the knucklehead going to learn to discard them n replace them with better players like Rice from West Ham, Philips from Leeds Utd etc, etc for his own sake of his job ...watever he is doing seems like upside down n shooting himself in the foot e.g. shd be getting Rice or Philips i/o using the money to pay for Sancho...because their main area of weakness is midfield where these 2 jokers are...tis will be another trophyless season again for sure if they continue to play this way after spending so much money on world-class players...the Board shd remove him straightaway, it is still not too late n there is still time for Conte to cum in to save them n challenge once again for the cups n titles

Been watching Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips. Both have one other midfielder staying back with them when their teams attack. And they both somewhat still stay in the defensive midfield position when playing for England together. Probably still need a double pivot even if we get either one.

The gamble on Martial worked this time. Have always thought that Martial is much more effective coming off the left wing and last night he proved it. Unfortunately for him, he is rarely played there, due to Rashford and Pogba.

But, the gamble to start Cavani and rest Ronaldo didn't quite pay off. I really thought he would resist resting Ronny but oh well...

Much as fans loathe the McFred double pivot, the stats do show that when they play, the win percentage and expected goals is higher. That is why the gaffer keeps playing them when possible. Unfortunately Fred got bullied off the ball physically, again, and allowed Everton to counter with a goal. Could easily have been 2-0 the other way just moments before.

T.Q. Bro AC for the details of yr prediction results as requested ...wa, u r so generous to the knucklehead...he will be happy n satisfied n thk u to see yr predictions ...for me, i will say they will lose all their abv matches except the following 3 if they don't improve on their game >>

Tottenham ..Win/Draw
Arsenal.......Win/Draw
Watford......Draw/Lose

(Win = by 1 goal only)

Just watched Declan Rice playing a moment ago for West Ham in their game against the new terror boys of the Division, Brentford who beat them 2-1 their last goal scored at the death or last minute of stoppage time, a very exciting, fast n breath-taking game...see him v. hardworking playing on all sections of the field even in defence n was the main driver of the team in midfield kicking the ball up to opposition half frequently for their strikers to put the ball in...no wonder DM put a price of 100 million pounds on his head...i think our CR7 would be very happy to hv him pass the ball to him from midfield i/o of the easily bullied god-son Fred to help him score goals in the opposition penalty area...the knucklehead shd sit in Brentford manager Thomas Frank's class n learn from him how to manage his team to win or at least draw against top or strong teams like pool n west ham n never to lose any game

Yes imom, it could hv been 2-0 or 2-1 at the end, the nearest that almost went in the west ham goal was Cavani's header on target but was caught by their GK...all their other attempts at goal were way off target ...which was why none of their strikers scored despite many chances and attempts at goal...something must be wrong with those stats as evidenced by their many recent losses
