English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 12

Smith with a handball more blatant than the one for the pen. Not given.

Shocking performance from United. Seriously. No urgency at all. Mourinho lost the dressing room?

Ibra's had a nightmare

so has pogbito

need Arsenal and Pool to draw now

Bournemouth are now on my scumbag club I hope get relegated and never seen again list

unreal scum team

should have been down to 8 men, we should have had 3 penalties

Mings need to be banned for life

United should have blown Bournemouth away in the first 25 minutes when they were all over the place.

Bournemouth got their shit together and steadied things. United got impatient in the second half and tried to force it against 10 men. Final ten they were crossing up to Fellaini and Ibrahimovic.

Ozil not playing today? would have ghosted anyway but I am expecting Liverpool to bounce back and get 3 points today

@Firenze

Have a look at main man Boruc

Doesn't matter either way, we're 6th till the end of the season. I'm done with football for the rest of the day.

so much money we've spent at this club and they can't beat a 10 man shit team who've conceded 22 goals in their last 5 or 6 games in the league.

Cowards

one of the worst ref performances, possibly the worst, i've ever seen in this league

Really cost us

people call me out for claiming it's the scrubby goalkeepers that randomly turn super sayain against us

or the refs that screw us

look no further than today for proof of both and never question me again ffs

this is where we really miss Mkhi

Rooney, Ibra, etc are content to just plod around slowly and wait, Martial is hot and cold but usually ups the tempo too when he's having a good game.

Just came back and looked at the scoreline..

Sounds like another game where superhuman goalkeeping has killed us. Ffs what's up with EPL goalkeepers turning up in Buffon mode when they play United?!

His average rating this season is 6.56 and his best game was not even an 8 before the match today

That being said your team plays against the manager. Need to sack Mourinho ASAP and bring in de Boer to rebuild.

Inside demons I guess

The ref sent off a Bournemouth player though. Utd were up a man for a whole 45 minutes and couldn't find another goal. Meanwhile, Madrid were down a man and found 2.

I think this was just Utd drawing blanks as they have done for the majority of the season. 3 points that should have been gotten really...

Would've been so butthurt if Man Utd won this one, terrible performance with an unsuccessful infuence from referees.

We had a period between 2009 and 2011 where it seemed scrub keepers always had wonder games against us.

It comes down to poor finishing in the end. You don't take your chances/create enough good scoring chances and end up pushing harder for more goals/chances. Then your defenders make more mistakes so the opposition get a way back into the game.

It's like United try too hard to score. Not a good mentality to have with players that are inconsistent in the final third like Martial and Rashford. Pogba's decision making in the final third isn't that great, either, despite the quality he has.

Remember Cruijff saying that being a man up when you dominate the game and have to score can turn into a disadvantage. He even considered taking a man off to play 10 vs 11 when he needed his team to score but you can't really do it without turning the players against you.

Don't pollute this beautiful thread with Madrid gloating pls

La Diva thread that way >>>>>>

Most expensive squad in the world draw with 10 man Bournemouth and Firenze blames the ref again what a clown this guy is

Mings claims he didn't mean to stamp on Ibrahimovic. Said "that's not in his game".

This has gotten boring real soon. We want the old S back!

Also this has gone under the radar a bit:

Here is the video of Ibra throwing Mings to the ground. This predicated the stamp. Which Ibra retaliated with an elbow to the face. pic.twitter.com/WxOHnF5Qj7

Johan was a brilliant man, bless his soul but you think that theory applies to Bournemouth? Not exactly the best defense out here.
