2016/17 Barclays Premier League Thread - General Discussion - FM24/25 Update

Chelsea have done fucking nothing and are 4-0 up ffs. I don't think I've ever seen us defend worse than this.

And christ, I've been a fan of his, but fuck me if Smalling wasn't at fault in someway for all of them.

Smalling at fault for all the goals.

I was joking earlier that this will be like the 5-0 in 1999, scaringly it's just like it.

This tactic of hoofing it up to Ibrahimovic all the time is really frustrating. It isn't working.

Quite fancy Liverpool this season tbh. Klopp seems to have done quite a good job, genuinely think he'll win the Prem with them before he leaves.

Our fans are amazing. 4-0 down and they're still louder than the home crowd.

Oh and apparently Bailly has a knee ligament injury, so thats our only defender actually capable of fucking defending out for 37 years then.

Are people finally coming to the realisation that Jose has lost it yet?

Hull appoint Neil McDonald as assistant manager. I suppose his CV of relegation, experience at managing a squad not good enough for their respective league and willingness to be a board mouthpiece really sold it for him there.

Sunderland.

Please let this be the year they're finally relegated and (hopefully) never return.

Them and Hull have to be favourites to go down. Can't pick a third though.

Herrera slips and accidentally collides with a player and gets a second yellow for it.

Our response: bringing Fellaini and Rooney on, and taking Mata off - our best player.

That being said, if it wasn't for Tom Heaton we'd be 4-0 up.

granted Tom Heaton has been absolutely brilliant... but Ibra has had a 'mare in front of goal today

Ibra was woeful and needs to be dropped. Amazing that at 0-0 we take off Mata, Rashford and Lingard and bring on Rooney, Fellaini and Memphis.

Pretty much all season truth be told. If he'd taken his chances we'd be at the very least about 7 points better off. Possibly more. No wonder Sweden are shit.

Fuck me, its tempting to say 'ah well we were unlucky and it was just one of those days' but when two people you're paying a combined half a million to every week can't hit the target from two yards out you don't deserve shit.

They had what, 40 shots today? You're a fucking imbecile if you're going to put this match on Mourinho.

It looks like Old Trafford broke Moyes. Sunderland are in deep shit and its looking like this is the year that several seasons of just keeping out of the drop catches up with them. But then again I thought that last year more than once.

37 attempts for MUFC, 11 on target... ordinarily at least 3/4 of them are goals. And yeah, bringing on Fellaini and Rooney for Mata and Rashford is not a solution.

Seems weird to say it given how good a career Ibra has had but i actually think United need a new striker, just makes them too one dimensional with Ibra and they just seem to lump the ball into the box and hope he does something with it.
