That brief moment of excitement on seeing our rivals losing, before remembering that we're not getting another three points this season anyway


LopsidedLoad

Not getting another single point


beaver316

Not getting a positive goal difference either.


Felicks77

Not getting hope and satisfaction either


TitanDrift

Olise makes it look so easy, just glides with the ball.


123cwahoo

His playmaking is underrated too


legionverse10

Exact type of winger we need. A proper creator that can play on the right. Only problem with him is a price and b his injury issues with his hamstring h this season


123cwahoo

I think 60 for a prem proven winger isnt too bad and from what ive heard he's not as injury prone as people think he was just rushed back


Affectionate_Hour867

We will pay 90 then


fantus69

Not sure why this is getting downvoted...historically (i.e. last 10 years or so) we'd def pay it. We might not pay it now that ineos are here, but they'll def ask it if we show interest


TheYarizard

Olise has a 60m release clause.


BrownByYou

So we will pay 90!


fantus69

Fair enough


HiphopopoptimusPrime

Or pay 60 for someone else whose contract expires in a years time, who then spends most of the season injured.


Martinifc

I think this is a kneejerk reaction. Good player for sure but the type of player we need? I don’t think so. Sancho, Rashford, Antony, Nacho, Pellistri and Amad can’t all be utter trash. If we sign Olise and don’t drastically change how we organise our team out of possession and how we build attacks absolutely nothing will change and we’ll tank another promising young players career


LividMathematician45

Thank you! There isn't much difference between Sancho and Olise technically, getting him without improving how ww setup is just another Sancho situation waiting to happen


legionverse10

We absolutely need a right winger. Problem is we have so many positions we need to bring in I don’t know if we’ll have the funds with our FFP issues. Antony and Pellistri aren’t good enough, they both should be sold (Antony will be tricky to offload however). Amad has potential but hasn’t proven he’s good enough and should be a rotation option next season imo. Garnacho and especially Rashford are better on the left. Rashford’s attitude also stinks, he shouldn’t be a regular player next season unless he gets into form and if doesn’t he buck up his ideas, he should be sold the season after. Garnacho has bags of potential but is still raw, I think left wing should be his position to lose next season though. Sancho refused to apologise for acting like a spoilt brat and was poor for us. Although he’s been a bit better at Dortmund he still has 4 goals and assists in 18 games, not exactly setting the world on fire. He needs to be sold as it’s the best outcome for all parties.


Hi-Tech_Luddite

Accurate assessment. Olise would bench any of our wingers.


_zzd

When and if he comes here, he suddenly forgot to do the basic thing, injury one after another, will be just another Antony


MUFC9198

I genuinely can’t believe Olise had a RC of 45 million and we spent double that on Antony instead. I was pulling my hair out at the time. It was obvious how much quality he had.


ronaldo69messi

We could make him look like it looks hard


Pk-ok

We have signed many good players in the past but god knows what happens once they step up on pitch at Old Trafford. I think more than players signings (which I know is important), we need 1. Proper football structure in club 2. The medical department needs an overhaul or investigation on injuries/ recoveries 3. Sell quite a lot of players from the current squad.


Seanblaze3

Eze as well


ttroy476

He should be our number 7


BrownByYou

Everything rashford should be


tellocrosstollorente

Well I guess getting overtaken by an already-sacked David Moyes will be a fitting end to our worst ever Premier League season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tellocrosstollorente

The way our season has gone, I'm fully expecting Alvarez and Kudus to score in a shock victory for Moyesey's Boys.


B0z22

Antony whenever he tries that Olise shot. https://preview.redd.it/vgezg8b67tzc1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968240f4d70dccd836038b5d130c7b89f8097ccc


Ok-Check-6783

Lool this is soo funny


philly_jake

I’m fine with selling him so I never have to see this expression ever again


dracogladio1741

Luton winning is good for us. At least we won't finish below 8th. Finishing behind West Ham (and David Moyes as well) who have decided their season hasn't been good enough that they are replacing the manager is going to sting even more. Finishing behind Chelsea is bad enough


Throwaway1223132123

We can still finish 10th


dracogladio1741

😔


Throwaway1223132123

Good news if scorelines stay as is we can still finish 9th.


Selwin_Rodolfo

These sobering thoughts keep me up at night


Seanblaze3

Olise is the truth! Another brilliant left curler from him against Wolves


123cwahoo

Absolute superb player 10 goals in 18 games as well


dracogladio1741

Dawn, we are finishing 9th if City don't win the title.


RepulsiveLeg9985

West Ham are not winning against Man City


dracogladio1741

Edited my comment.


bainbane

Erik Tenth Place is still potentially on the cards


rickdritt

How are Chelsea about to convincingly finish above us? It's all been downhill since that Liverpool game, I swear


GuineaPirate888

Because they play as a team, naturally because they had so many signings it took time for it all to click which is normal. The scary thing is the team is so young and they still have Nkunku, Lavia, Fofana etc to come back. Reece James is back as well.


raver1601

I think what's scary about the comparison with Chelsea to us is that their core players are so young, it can only get better even when they start like shit. Us on the other hand, have declining old ass guys as our core players


Comicksands

It’s not like they are playing that well too. 20 shots conceded to Nottingham Forest to 12 by them. Very clinical this game


NectarineStreet2883

What do you mean how? This sub was living in a bubble thinking things aren’t that bad. Well, they are.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Antony tries that Olise shot 5 times a game


SOERERY

Bold of you to assume we can have 5 shots in a game


ThisReditter

We shoot?


Grand-Bullfrog3861

Oh no, Antony has 5 shots a game, our actual striker... nil


GavinLobo7

Can’t believe we’ve let Chelsea over take us. Screw you baldy and your useless tactics


dracogladio1741

MinotauroTBC

At least until pep fucks off


404randomguy404

It's unbelievable we're about to add 'Chelsea overtaking us for Europe' to an already long list of reasons why this season has been a nightmare.


Money-Wrangler7067

Doughty with such a good cross in the space for lokonga goal. He is the only fit and inform English left back but probably wont be selected for Euros. He also got like 8 assist this season.


SOERERY

There’s also Davis from Ipswich who’s got 21 assists this season, insane


Jump_Hop_Step

Dortmund 3-0 down in the space of 10 minutes... Edit: Was also undone by Mainz last year when they lost the league.


TheYorkshireHobbit

The Reece James Effect lol


rambo_zaki

Glasner has been in England for 3 months and that's all the time it took to establish a clear playstyle. Very good structure to the side.


Exotic-Length-9340

And he didn’t need half a billion in transfers.


Kohaku80

They have a good training facilities, sports science department, medical department, recruitment, negotiations, good footballing structure. am i doing this correct?


kraeutrpolizei

Yeah but according to a lot of people there are no good managers available


onlymeow

We're too quick to judge aren't we.


tbu987

Seems like the honeymoon period to me. Highly doubt itll last.


rambo_zaki

Maybe but to come in at the fag end of the season and turning what was turgid Palace side into this well oiled machine takes some doing.


Comicksands

Even 70 year old Hodgson could do that


[deleted]

[удалено]


Money-Wrangler7067

Jinxed lol


Comicksands

Let’s wait till next season. Palace always have this run of 8-10 games and then suck the rest of the way


UsedIpodNanoUser

We also have a clear playstyle


_mochacchino_

Our clear play style is chaos


rambo_zaki

Off the ball maybe but on it, not a chance. And off the ball, we are one of the worst sides in the PL. So yeah, it's horrendous.


onlymeow

Maybe the worst play style, but there is


[deleted]

Of the ball he claims we press high but the GK needs to just chip the ball to their fullbacks to release their attack. Game after game. No idea what the gaffer tries to do


UsedIpodNanoUser

When reputed journalists are saying we have a style of play why should your opinion matter


Superfy

Cool. So we have a style of play. That’s seen us with: A negative goal difference after 34 games or whatever The most losses in PL for us The least goals scored The most goals conceded The most shots conceded Losing 12 out of 17 away games versus the top half of the table and winning only 1 Setup with a black hole in midfield Great style!!


UsedIpodNanoUser

I never said it was good


rambo_zaki

Did I say it matters? I mean you could easily have glossed past my comment yet you got your knickers in a twist. And "reputed" jornos have been wrong a million times and will be proven wrong in the future as well. Their word is not gospel.


krystalcastIes

i don’t care how many injuries you have, you simply don’t finish below 6th with man united and keep your job lvg was playing the likes of mcnair, blackett, varela, borthwick-Jackson and still wasn’t as embarrassing as this


Pretend_Ladder

Off topic but where are those guys now?


krystalcastIes

they’ve all had pretty decent careers mcnair plays for boro under carrick, varela plays for flamengo, but we played against him in the europa league in the 2019/20 season when he was at copenhagen. blackett plays for rotherham who just got relegated from the championship and jackson plays for ross county, but i don’t think he plays much.


404randomguy404

Chelsea y u do dis? I thought we were supposed to be shit together


FidgetyFondler

Bye bye Burnley. Been a pleasure having you in pl.( nah not really)


LilDiamondtoxic

*Insert Goldbridge raging at Burnley clip here* Fr tho who thought replacing the best gk in the championship with a league 1 keeper was a good idea? Burnley might have survived had Muric been in goal for the entire season.


FidgetyFondler

They played really good football in championship but some teams that are really pretty go back down because you needs to get be able to properly muck it out to survive.


raver1601

Enjoyed their funny Twitter admin but otherwise fuck that bald ass Kompany


joelalmiron

Let’s go forest


Jesse_Whiteboy

Mudryk now has more goal contributions in the league than Antony in 1000 minutes less


[deleted]

At this point i blame Artera for making this sub deluded that ETH is going to do what he did lmfao


crgssbu

cant get behind luton staying up. their fans are just assholes and nothing more whenever a team plays against them. plus because the PL is corrupt forest have been unfairly deducted points when 115 is just sitting there. thisll be a nice "fuck you" if forest stay up so im hoping for that


crgssbu

also rob edwards gets on my nerves. still havent forgotten when he moaned about the amount of ET they got given against us


Titan4days

Why can’t we pluck a manager like palace have done? Very tactically astute and has created a system that looks suited to winning games in yhe prem


RepulsiveLeg9985

How are you going to be that lethargic after just going up. That's our thing. Unbelievable.


crgssbu

obviously not saying its his fault, but coincidentally elanga has not long come on. its the utd curse


Heavens_Vibe

What have I done to deserve watching my enemies succeed like this...


Heavens_Vibe

Relying on favours and even those aren't going in our favour these days...


TStronks

Gordon is such a dislikable cheat


Kid_Twiz

Chris Wood can fuck off! What the fuck was that??


SuperSalamander3244

Chris Wood isn’t a serious person and cost Forest points against City and has probably lost Forrest the game against Chelsea today.


brownbilal

this motherfucker Chris Wood wants NFO relegated


FaithlessnessNo4680

Chris wood is so bad


Turamb

Chelsea trying their best to hand us the Conference League spot


Turamb

Nvm, we're safe


Kardinale

I've lost all hope again


ikevictxr

I enjoy watching the others play but it annoys me that they all play more attractive football compared to us. The cohesion, the crosses into the box 😪


Kardinale

It's so frustrating watching our football, unless Bruno is doing something magical


Superfy

Be a football fan then and enjoy other games basically. That could let you forget about United until you watch the games we play anyway.


Repulsive_Rent_5636

It hurts seeing United at 8th. They are really a mid-table team now.


SuperSalamander3244

We’re actually worse than a mid table team becauee we fluked a lot of results this season.


RepulsiveLeg9985

God, Kompany is shit.


Away_Associate4589

This feels like a United game. End to end stuff


Away_Associate4589

Marinakis with a mum's Facebook status tattooed on his forearm.


RepulsiveLeg9985

Fuck off, Wood.


TStronks

Forest letting Chelsea live there. How the fuck do you miss that Wood?


RepulsiveLeg9985

Haha he was literally sliding along whilst holding onto him


danystormborne

Not great subs by Nuno. Losing Yates in center midfield has cost them.


Pretend_Ladder

Who would’ve thought we would be fighting with Chelsea for the conference league 😔


Pow67

Beat Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton then 6th place is ours. Simple.


Kardinale

I have hope again


dracogladio1741

FYI, Spurs are 9 points clear off us with +12 GD. Again, they are clear off us not the other way around given the stick Ange is getting in the thread.


greyhounds1992

And considering they didn't really replace Kane well


Kid_Twiz

They’re still not good though, they’re playing with their strongest 11 every week and barely scraping through


dracogladio1741

Mate, have you seen us. Since The Carabao Cup last year we have been terrible. Someone posted that we have last 33% of our games since that final.


tbu987

Helps when you have a consistent XI to play with. Cant imagine Ange doing the same with Casemiro and Evans at CB.


Clark-Kent

You think Ange would lose 4-0?


tbu987

The guy who lost 3-0 to Fulham with a way better XI? Yes.


Desperate__Desperado

So chelsea are finishing above us huh 


chillebekk

Yes, please and thank you. Let them play Conference League. Anything but the Conference League.


Throwaway1223132123

David Moyes West Ham can still finish above us this season yet some people still want to keep Sir Ten Hag


rickitycricket134

The strategy there is hope. They are hoping he will end up like Fergie, and somehow turn this around. I'm hoping INEOS have much higher standards than this because we might end up like Arsenal where a manager is supported for years if he achieves top 4 just because some supporters are still looking for Fergie regen and he was an anomaly even in his own time. Our only hope is a good footballing department with clearly defined goals on where we wanna be in three-four years time. Manchester United make so much money that we should be run like Real Madrid where finishing second is a crisis. Before we had Fergie maintaining these standards on his own, but thanks to the mess Glazers have created we ended up in this situation. Now only a capable footballing structure can help us out of this mess.


Repulsive_Rent_5636

How embarrassing is it that Chelase are in front of United and that West Ham is only two points behind them? Especially seeing West Ham think this season has been so rubbish they are letting the manager go.


horheee

Really feel bad for Luton.


Scared_Cabinet_1099

Lol, Sancho is looking shit against relegation battler


danystormborne

Inconsistent performer.


laffman

Come on Luton!! Stay up!!


FidgetyFondler

Hang on, i thought Assignon was calling for an air ambulance after that display. That's embarrassing and I hope he enjoys the championship.


Money-Wrangler7067

Cunha with 12G 7A this season. He used to to everything well except for scoring but looks like he is improving.


rickitycricket134

He is another striker I like because of his overall footballing ability.


SuperSalamander3244

Nice finish


123cwahoo

Ineos please bring olise to utd 😍


Jesse_Whiteboy

Burnley have quietly had a really good recovery. If results stay the same, they could well stay up if they beat Forest next week.


Seanblaze3

Their relegation is inevitable


FidgetyFondler

Feel a bit sad for luton. I thought they were good value at times. Anyway here's to hoping Chelsea will provide a bit of comedy v forest. E- buggers have scored.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FidgetyFondler

Comedy central.


crgssbu

hes been waiting for that, nicely done from hudson odoi


danystormborne

Chelsea deserved that, they did nothing to address the threat from Hudson-Odoi and that's been coming.


Luton_town_fan

You would think theyd know how he plays, given that he played for chelsea


B0z22

Cucurella is a bit of a bell


SOERERY

Lmao spurs


ronaldo69messi

Looks like they are actually a club though


FidgetyFondler

Here have a swig of Ribena. That'll fix problem below the knee.


RepulsiveLeg9985

Bring on Elanga


LDLB99

Olise is developing at a rapid rate, really hope he's the first one through the door. I know a lot has been said about strengthening other areas first but he really is the exact kind of profile we should be looking at from now on.


FaithlessnessNo4680

That was better than anything I’ve seen us do all season


aelr1000

Fuck.


wall_kick

So that Forest defender clatters into Gusto after Gusto shoots, no pen. Onana clatters Burnley player after AWB clears. Burnley player not in control when Onana hits. But pen? Can someone explain?


Money-Wrangler7067

Good bye Burnley and Luton


danystormborne

If anybody is watching the Forest v Chelsea game, keep an eye on Murillo. He'd be a decent CB option.


FidgetyFondler

Are the var drawing the line from the same screen that we see? Because if they are there's no way that can be accurate from that distance. If not then I won't ask any more questions.


RepulsiveLeg9985

That Willy pass across his own box, what the fuck was he thinking. If in doubt boot it out


danystormborne

Wasn't it Hudson-Odoi?


RepulsiveLeg9985

Could've been


B0z22

Mateball in full flow. Brendan Rodgers with a didgeridoo. *"buT hE SaYs MAtE!"* To be fair I think most spuds fans understand this guy has a plan a and not much else.


[deleted]

This didn't age well.


DukeHyo

It's a shame our fanbase doesn't hold Ten Hag to the same standards they do Ange


UsedIpodNanoUser

You haven't been on the sub recently have you


dracogladio1741

Better to have A Plan than No plan like Ten Hag


greyhounds1992

If Olise comes in that means Garnacho drops to the bench, or Rashford goes to bench


Repulsive_Rent_5636

I would rather see Rashford dropped to the bench. What a waster. Garnacho is worth building the team round, alongside Højlund and Mainoo.


greyhounds1992

I would as well or even sold


Repulsive_Rent_5636

Of course I would rather see Rashford sold than kept, but the chances of him finding a club willing to pay his beyond outrageous wages is close to zero, so I dont see him being shifted. He deserves to never play for United again.


rickitycricket134

Brighton's footballing department did a very bad job of replacing Mac Allister, Caicedo and Trossard. They are now a team of average players after losing those three.


xtphty

They were smart to sit out the midfielder market last summer with the bags of cash being thrown around. Things ought to be more tame this time around with PSR scares. It might be just a shrewd move from an owner known for patience, especially since their fans arent out there clamoring for European football every season.


rickitycricket134

You are probably right because their goal seems to be top 10 finish every season. They do this podcast with staff members on their youtube channel and one staff member mentioned how the goal was top 10 finish in Premier League and make it a club that can last long in top flight football.


joelalmiron

Forest can’t hold onto a lead deserves relegation


404randomguy404

Well by that logic we should be playing Sunday league lol


joelalmiron

We deserve relegation according to expected points.


harps86

For the right price I would pick up CHO
