Nottingham Forest for real one of the challengers for 1st. It’s brilliantly Refreshing to see.

Sean echo all that mate, you’re right. Lol, you’re probably tired of repeating yourself ð
We should probably be flattered, United celebrating a draw in the way they did haha ð
Jokes aside, I think Slot should have Benched or left Trent out. The problem with that is that people (Media etc) draw the Spotlight. Unfortunately, there’s rarely any confidentiality. I would suspect behind the scenes, this traction has been fuelled by Agent/s. Do we need an official statement from Trent himself?
It’s DISRUPTION on the pitch and has a domino effect on everything else. The Club should ultimately always be prioritized.
I would be inclined to agree with one of the callers pointing out, we can’t win the league with Robertson and Trent on the pitch. Slot should be making noises really to the men upstairs to sign a Top Class versatile Defender either this Window, or in the Summer.

Three p’s I have had my reservations about the High Line and I know you and I don’t agree. Opposing teams will expose this. I don’t like the Offside Law implementation allowing play to flow as ‘normal’ then blowing the whistle.
Both Robbo and Trent are getting caught out. Konate has only just returned. Van Dijk therefore feels the pressure. Alisson is lost in his confidence; not the same keeper. The point is ‘Slot Ball’ is about reliance on one another. One guy drops off and falls asleep, this doesn’t go according to plan.
Mikus, excellent point made about quick passes. Slot is about a more patient build up and retaining possession. We played into United’s hands. Amorim or not, this is still residue of Ten-Hag and all the other predecessors. We forget part of United’s identity is actually counter-attack which is their strength.
We shouldn’t really panic and we should have been smarter even though we were a goal down and even being 2-1 up. Just got lost in making the right tactical choices and how we use our subs.

Firstly, if we build a context from a football fan’s perception, that match yesterday went ahead even though there was a snowfall. Aside the locals, there are travelling supporters that have made the journey through the bad weather.
The least the players can do is try and put in a shift. I’m pretty sure Virgil was livid with Trent. He doesn’t consistently track back and this is my problem with him. Ironically, the high-line suits him!
My biggest problem is not him playing an advancing role, it’s trying to conceal him as a right-back. He is not in my eyes. Play him Right midfield! Take him out of right-back. Clearly, he’s like a David Beckham with the crosses and the free-kicks. Real Madrid I would suspect will utilise him like this.
The Defenders as a unit need to ALL roll their sleeves up help each other. How many times does Arteta get angry at his players for not helping?? Double up!
Fulham is a very good example of an observation. We need to start implementing Costas and Bradley as our future and not use as much Robertson and Trent. Maybe Slot is using this first season as a Free-hit inspite of going for all available competitions.
And I repeatedly stress this, no fixture truly is a given in this league. Just look at the results this weekend! I would say on a positive, a glass half full considering we were a goal down and with both Chelsea and Arsenal dropping points too. We have a game in hand, and don’t really have issues with injuries, so a bit of a Reset needed and the focus now is on Wednesday and Tottenham!!!

It’s not a question of ‘Trent Haters’, the man’s head has been turned and he now is coming across as ‘Bertie-Big-Balls’. I’ve always personally stuck to my guns in asserting he is not a Right Back. He will suit Real Madrid, Granted because he is more continental than conventional.
Look at the effect Connor Bradley had on the match. I truly hope Trent Leaves but I thank him and recognise his contribution.
Don’t hype up these matches. They are a parallel to us very late 90s and early early 90s for the matter ala both Evans/Houllier and Souness. Our Highlight back then was stopping or getting one on United.
We’re the Lead in the pack and that drives teams psychologically if anything to be up for it. All done both home and away. We didn’t lose albeit just missed an opportunity to increase our lead. Need a more broad first 11 selection from our Manager and not be swamped into the same choice players.

Not that happy with Slot’s tactics etc today. If he really wanted us to go for it, then why not play a 4-2-4 with an all out attack? Didn’t start with Jota once again, and I get he wants to ease him in, but always better to get an early goal to eliminate anxiety.

Take a 2-2. Don’t like to say this, but Alisson’s never quite been as confident as he has been due to his long absence.
Trent can go to Real Madrid – just go!
Bradley can be our Regular.
United fought and gave us a proper game; credit to them.
No 6-nil here as I thought it would be.

Trent is unnecessarily overhyped. He can go!

Why on earth are we risking a high-line?!?!?! Never disrespect a side even when they’ve lost x amount of matches. They’re not for the sake of making up the numbers, they are playing at the very least for pride.

Sean, it’s a massive strap line mate of a sad state of affairs being runned down by blue and red government. Both to blame.
I remember even as far back as the early 90s, a game would try and go ahead inspite of snow.
Difference in modern society is the increase in population and vehicles and we haven’t kept up with infrastructure and increase in our facilities or even better facilities.
Places like Sweden and Norway are ahead of us. They cope better than us with the snow and dont necessarily allow the country to be grinded to a halt! ðĪŠ

Typical in one of the Newspapers reporting as Postponed ðĪ
Game will go ahead and in essence, better to avoid a fixture pile up â―ïļð

Circumstances rightly can’t be helped but equally, we don’t want to be in a place where our fixtures are piled on. Organizers/Whoever will just try and shoe-horn it conveniently.
What if we would have injuries? Players tiring; suspensions.
Ok, would Love to Embrace and just take it all as it lands, but our ‘Company’ should then seek to signing Top Class New Players; 2? 3? Reinforcements that kind of thing.
Preparation Ultimately and Ready for what ‘Life’ throws at us.

Sean, didn’t know it was potentially that bad; Wowzers, 2 of our matches against our Enemies called off due to bad weather etc.
Wow, just dunno.

We’re pretty good this evening in the midlands, but forecast otherwise states of Snow heading north. The game may even be called off; Wow! We shall see.

Couple of my mates on our group chat have called it. Lol, I’m certainly not calling it. 5 points only. Those 2 games in hand don’t mean too much. We will drop points in the next sequence of our games. Our test is how we bounce back from adversity and Slot I must say Phenomenal given that he’s never managed the Prem.
Caution Tread Tread Tread ð ð
