Walker. Lot of smoke. Personally I think it doesn't look good.

My point was why is everyone saying that he's gone when he played against Palace and West Ham, him being dropped today doesn't mean much in context although I do think he's off in the summer.

If someone could post the post match festivities in a thread after the match it would be much appreciated.

I'm away in Barcelona for 4 days and will miss the whole thing :(

Many thanks in advance.

The games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd are Category A games, if you like. For me it is unprecedented that Walker would be benched for games of that magnitude. Although he was benched for a few CL games and I could not quite get my head around it.

Poch's at it again - wrong shape and no dembele.

Ah well.

Hope he fixes it quick-smart if it all goes left.

I don't know why he always resorts back to this, it's like a panic switch goes off and he goes to what he feels is "Safe" don't get me wrong, I love Poch, I just don't understand his logic behind decisions like this.

Unless of course, Dembele is carrying a knock.

That being said, I am not a manager so hard for me to say why.

Why is Dembele on the bench??? This has given me the hump. I don't understand why he's playing this formation when it's not our strongest. Ffs Poch we want to give WHL a proper send off :(

True, but we didn't exactly play scintillating football in that match. The first goal came off of a long throw resulting in a scramble in the box, the second goal was down to them switching off.

Name a time when we played decent football with Dier/Wanyama in CM. I can't think of a single instance.
Still should've put about 4 or 5 past them.

Dier and Wanyama again in a CM2 leaves me cold I have to say - Utd will be absolutely looking to counter on us here so happy for us to be in possession but I can see us plodding through the middle with little room to manoeuvre.

Maybe Poch is simply showing Walker who is boss?

Maybe Poch is just rewarding Trippier with a few games now after playing second fiddle all season?

West Ham result is disappointing. We still lose these lame games when the 3 pointers are worth 6 points. Liverpool are cruising in comparison.
Happpens to everyone.
Chelsea at home to Palace.
Liverpool, too many to mention.
Man U v Swansea
Man City v Middlesbrough
Arsenal v Palace and Wbrom.

Cant win them all.

Dembele is clearly not 100% fit, otherwise he'd be starting. No idea why anyone thinks its anything else.

So emotional about this game. 1:05 in Melbourne. I'll be sitting up all night.
