Happened in Germany with a half time whistle. The taker and keeper had to come back out from the dressing rooms to take it.

 

oh? interesting. I genuinely didn't know it was a thing.

 

If I was a United fan, I would worry that results like this are great, but they cover up the fact they suck. OGS is not a good enough manager, sorry. They won't win anything of worth with him at their coach. The team is actually good for the most part.

 

turns out all the players had to re-emerge from the tunnel to just watch the penalty lol

 

Dunno why you're apologising here it's clear to see for all that he's not good enough and never has been good enough. He was a fantastic short term appointment to come in after Mourinho, should never have been a long term option. We've been fucking awful under him bar two runs. The one that got him the job and the first half of the restart. Everything else under him has been like today.

 

The thing is, you HAD to give him the job really. He did so well as a short term stand in that if you didn't give him the job you would have looked even worse.

 

Yeah, rock and a hard place. Seems the board have dug their heels in and want to back his "vision".

But we can't sell any of our overpaid players, so we can't sign anyone.

 

Know that feeling

 

Genuinely thought you released him on a free.

At least ye seem to have gotten your shit together Ozil aside.

 

DCL again. Lovely team goal.

 

The three or four worst handball decisions I've ever seen have been in these last two weeks.

Farcical.

 

still can't believe United won tbh. Would've started Bailly over Lindelof (but need a new CB overall) and VDB over Pogba. Can we get those Telles/Sancho deals over the line already please

 

Was there another one? Or are you talking about the United one?

 

Holy shit never mind that Everton penalty is the worst one yet. What a disaster.

 

Palace vs Everton towards the end of the first half.

 

Richarlison was offside too. At what point does that come into play now?


Can’t believe they’ve managed to make VAR even worse.

 

Any competent coach now is telling his players to kick the ball at defenders' hands in the penalty area.

 

Nah. Apparently his wage is 350k p/w when you take into account appearances bonuses and stuff, so we decided to just... not play him.

Kind of feel like we could do with his creativity against more defensive teams but hopefully Aouar can solve that.

 

You’d be mad not to.

 

What a shit game for United. Can’t believe they hit the woodwork 5 times or so. Lol

 

Good stat for you I just saw...

Roy Hodgson's Inter Milan beat Carlo Ancelotti's Parma in Serie A... In October 1996!

 

How is that not a penalty but the others today are?!

 

Dortmund loses 2-0 to Augsburg today and looked capable but things were far from clicking for them. Trying the same tired strategy against teams that park the bus is obviously ineffective. I'd almost prefer that they not have 80% percent possession if this is all they have to show for it.

 

Sargent starting again for Bremen. Hoping there's a good chance of seeing his name on the score sheet against this Schalke side.
