But until our first couple of games we also don't know what kinda form we'll start back in. We were garbage before that last game vs Villa, we've got a very shallow squad, we've lost a key player, we've got a difficult run in. It's concerning. It was certainly nice to be reminded yesterday that the chasing pack are still awful. A few people seemed to be saying that they thought they would? A win tonight and I’ll start to feel confident. It’s such a strange situation anything could happen I suppose. Part of me thinks we’ll steamroller Watford but then I also wouldn’t be surprised if Nige pulls something off. Basically, I have no idea. X Edited 20 June 2020 by RumbleFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 20 June 2020 Share Posted 20 June 2020 Managers are going to be really challenged over the next few weeks. Players who haven't been injured won't have had three months off completely, you're coming back to a continuing season so a bad start doesn't leave 34/35 games to recover and no crowd to lift you if you need them. Norwich was the most notable example so far of a team who really struggled to get a tempo going- I know they are bottom but they'd have looked at Southampton as the first game to get a good result or performance. I do wonder, however understandable it was, if the uncertainty and calls not to resume have affected teams and their mindset. We'll see how the likes of Brighton, West Ham get on today to see if there's a pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA should retire him immediately...I can't see him anymore What did he do wrong last night? Pens are referred to VAR aren't they? Hence the second rightfully gets overturned but at first glimpse I thought it was a penalty too. There's worse refs than Moss (Pawson and Taylor for starters).

SpacedX Posted 20 June 2020 Share Posted 20 June 2020 Since 'Project Restart' began this week it is evident that the pace is slower, may not simply be fitness and conditioning, but the implications of a nine game sprint. I'm also confident that bookings will be reduced and we'll see a greater leniency from officials minus the crowd pressure. The piped crowd sounds are absurd. They had the same obligatory second hand chant on a loop yesterday for Spurs v Man U, which to be fair though, in our case will add to the authenticity, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 June 2020 Share Posted 20 June 2020 Have all the Man Utd fans who spent the lockdown convincing themselves more and more how elite Maguire was, now abusing him again on social media? Absolute liability last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't he book Lamela for that late tackle in the opening stages? It wouldn't stopped the subsequent fouling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 20 June 2020 Share Posted 20 June 2020 I don't think Maupay has done much wrong there. Would be disappointed with my striker if they did at least challenge for that. Clearly Leno doesn't agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Leno doesn't agree There's a very slow motion replay on Twitter which suggests Maupay had all the time in the world. He jumped just as Leno got both hands to the ball. A foul for a slightly late challenge, but he didn't cause Leno to land the way he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
