We need a goal and we have luka and McCarthy playing in both playing in front of the back four. Why not give meyer a chance in the centre, kouyate at the back. To many of the same players, camarasa would have been something a bit different at least. Zaha is not a centre forward. Dann and ward, arent good enough at this level.

2 games played and no goals scored, struggled for goals last season and yet no new striker/s bought in the window ? Something clearly wrong with the finances/personnel behind the scenes not being able to try to sort this situation out. Fair play to Utd, they have much more about them than us, looking much more fluid particularly through the middle.

We are 1-0 behind going into added time and Zaha picks the ball up in our own half and passes it backwards.

We seemed to play with fear, we played in a straight-jacket,no tempo,no creativity. All us supporters have been totally short-changed by this abject dross.

Lost for words- that was up there (down there) with the worst I have seen in 52 years...

Blame Parish. Zaha is a winger. We have a squad with three forwards, 2 wingers and no creative midfielders. There are no options. Not getting at least one more forward in and a creative midfielder is down to Parish and the Yanks. Roy is probably as good as we are going to get.

Benteke looked ok with what he did. No service. Townsend shoots all the time, Zaha tries to beat 3 players twice all the time.

I looked at the bench and saw no one that could change a game we are losing. On that, we are down this season.

Absolute s***e no idea, no creativity, subs all wrong surely he needed to change formation and keep attacking players on never looked like scoring, Zaha did not look interested if this is a sign of what’s to come then its going to a tough season total s***e.

Based on this we will be lucky to stay up.

With this group we should be doing far better just not good enough.

Is there any one else out there who feels that we don't deserve to be in the premier League?

Players: Sorry we lost boss.

Roy: Never mind you were worth £50,000 to £120,000 a week.

I couldn’t believe every time we pumped the ball up! Their defence kept heading it and clearing the ball away! But we carried on doing the same thing!

That was absolutely shocking. Worst performance I have seen since the 3-0 to Huddersfield a while back.

 

dreamwaverider Flag London 18 Aug 19 4.06pm

That is the worst games I have watched this season!!
Both teams were really awful.
If that was it, football would be dead.

Spineless performance, sorry for fans who made the effort to go up, only to be presented with such bilge.

This is going to be a long and harrowing season, wonder how many games it will take us to score.

 

EagleMI5 Flag Ashington 18 Aug 19 4.07pm

The worst game of Permiership football I have ever watched. Ashamed for all connected to the club.

 

SpyroCrystal 18 Aug 19 4.08pm

Let's all remember this is game 2. Terrible performance hopefully our worst in the premier league this season. Roy needs to get the selection right next game and the mindset sorted.

 


Big up the Palace!!!!

viveasheagle Flag perth 18 Aug 19 4.08pm

We were s*** and if we moved it any slower we would be playing in a pensioner league. Where were the bloody ball boys as well? Not that we deserved to get back into the game but it really helped slow the game down for United when ball went out of play.

I've had a season ticket for 16 years, call me a plastic..
Roy was equally to blame today, his subs were all wrong, he didnt change the formation when needed and clearly certain things arent being trained on the training pitch.

What the hell do you think people could possibly make of that sh1t show today. Clueless tactics, uninspired players. The manager has to take some blame for that so get off your high horse. You are no better than anyone else on here who feels robbed by that performance.
