Here are my thoughts on the Dortmund game: too many mistakes by Dormtund's make it too easy for Bayern to score goals. 1st goal after a shit pass from Hummels, second goal after a shit clearance that ricochets off Hummels, and a silly PK to concede. It's one thing for Bayern to score due to their own build up, counter, corner, etc. but alas...

No two matches nare ever the same but today was still similar enough to many recent games to demonstrate exactly why I was not optimistic earlier.

The rest of the season is basically a formality at this point so I'd like to go ahead and congratulate Bayern on winning the Buli yet again. ;)

 

Damn, Ipswich sacked Paul Cook. Wasn't expecting that despite the less than stellar results.

 

Excited for this match even though things probably won’t be much different after a single day of training.

 

Unchanged side. Martial and Lingard left off the bench. Elanga on it. Apparently Ralf has been extremely impressed by Elanga

 

None of the 2pm games televised in the UK. Very odd.

 

Kouyate stands on Fred’s toe and goes down for ages so we kick the ball out. Absolutely hate it.

 

WE WON THE BALL IN THE FINAL THIRD

 

Holy shit Lucas

 

Good game this so far

 

This does look like a different man United team

 

If this is what we play like after a single training session what the actual fuck was Ole doing for 3 years?? We’re not excellent or anything buts it’s night and fucking day ahead of where we were a month ago in terms of controlling the pace of the game.

 

Palace seeing ghosts when United start running at them. They have no clue where the runners are coming from

 

Sancho is life

 

Should be a red that

 

Absolutely. Managed to stamp both legs. Clear red card.

 

Why do they refuse to use the screens for red card offences. I’ve seen it for penalties but never red cards.

 

Sessegnon has been pretty good since coming on

 

Oliver Skipp is the truth

 

Bob Bradley just went from LAFC to Toronto so I’m very curious who he is implying here, as Bradley and Marsch are our two “big” names.

 

I think it's been rumoured online to be a New York Redbulls assistant or something? Bradley Carnell? Saw that on reddit

 

Yeah that’s what I read too

 

Palace closing down passing space much better early in this half

 

Ayew goes over the ball with his stools on Fred… and gets a free kick

 

The ball is going to actively be in play for five collective minutes this half, I can already tell.
