[Blue Exile]

It’s ok guys, Sarri will swap Barkley for Kov on 70 minutes. Sorted.

Sorry, but this is just ridiculous. If he was bored of the club, he would never have let us spend that much on a goalkeeper and midfielder. Abramovich can't really do much if he isn't allowed in the country. He's basically relying on the board members here, and they are doing a poor job. If he was bored, then he would never have bothered with trying to get us moving with a new stadium. If Abramovich is bored, then what does that say about 99% of owners in this country?

Also the man basically got banned from entering the country and even so through phone calls he secured to signing of Sarri. Saying that "he's bored" makes no sense. 

[Chelsbear]

No changes 

The guy really doesn’t know what he’s doing 

[WalterWhiteCFC]

Did you see Higuins head drop and arms out when we put another ball across the ground instead of a f**king cross 

[shedpensioner]

The only way back is for the players to take matters in their hands & f**k off this Sarriball bollox & get back to the counter attacking that suits us.

I can't even blame the determination of the players today, it's not that they aren't giving their all, It's just individual mistakes and poor tactics that is costing us. By persisting with the exact same tactics in every game, Sarri is inviting other coach's to take advantage of his weaknesses. 

Screw Sarri's Napoli side, that was Serie A, this is English football. You don't have anywhere near the amount of time on the ball that you get in Italy. The only reason why Sarri's system worked in Italy is because of the lack of intensity. English football always has and always will be about intensity off the ball and quick and direct attacks when on the ball.

And Nuno Espirito Sancho proves that a getting used to new league, a higher level, a different level of competitiveness cannot be used as an excuse for poor tactics. If Wolves can compete with the squad they have then we should be able to put a team out that doesn't constantly crumble every game.

The fans behind the dug out are give sarri so much grief

if you were watching BBC you'd have heard them point out Jorginho's failure to act defensively and how that led to the first goal. we need to put Kante back in his proper position and if Jorginho can't hack it further forward too bad 

I'm not debating he's not great defensively, but his playmaking was great -which is what he's supposed to do in this system

No, he didn’t. There was no visa refusal and no ban under paragraph 320 (7b) of the Uk immigration rules. 

[Semper Fi]

Get Azpi off ffs.

Watch Sanchez come on to score the third. 

We look so bloody clueless.

[EdinburghBlue]

Friend is a f**king bottle merchant, that’s a f**king booking.

He can't enter the country, he's basically banned. Now I don't care how you call it.

[Ernie_blue]

Your be mad not to sub Matic

[enigma]

See this is the problem. Man Utd header into the box like Luiz did, someone is there to score. 

[chiefBlueCFC]

I hate when officials don't give yellow cards for clear yellow card offenses because the player is on a yellow... give the f**king card you c**t

Dont think it matters if we lose this one by 8 and to city in the final by 10. Roman is not going to act. He is not as involved and, dare I say, does not care as much anymore. Sadly the rival fans were right in predicting he would become bored with us.

I think sarri stays until we have no chance of CL next year.

About another 40 minutes then

[mojo]

well that was kevin not our friend

[strangebutblue]

The ref is a f**king bottler

[carrickblue]

one issue is that our football, when we do attack just seems so basic - if you didn't know better and someone told you United were playing a Championship side tonight you'd not be surprised

This is the challenge that no one seems to have anticipated. It's a different league with different demands. Teams are disciplined and don't break their structure, they are also more physical and more willing to wait and counter. 

Sarriball is a busted flush in English football.

And the players are just better. Spot on Spiller

[DiegoCostaLegend]

Matic must be off

[just]

The pace on Rashford is frightening. If only we had a forward with that.

[TheChelseaBlues]

This is so comical, Willian about to come on for Pedro.
