Oxford United (A) - Match Thread

[beepee1984]

So before Ramsey saw Red - we saw a lot of the ball and created little

Ramsey shot moments earlier the only positive I saw.

Our goal coming from their mistake, whilst they created their own chances

At that point they deserved to be in front

 

Since the Red, we have settled into Attack v Defence

And it looks like we are in for a tough afternoon 

[Aleksz]

Everything about this game is ass. We’ve started poor, Ramsey’s heads fell off, They’re crap, the ref is crap, and we’re going to labour with 10 men for the next hour. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

It’s a stupid, clumsy, needless challenge but that doesn’t mean it’s a red

Lots of players are simply not good enough. 

 

We are losing this. 100% nailed on

 

They are playing Oxford 

the manager has to take accountability

Ricardo on for Mavididi. Hamza into midfield. Need to clog up the middle now.

ah yes, take off our quickest player - tactical genius right here

he did this 4 games btw 

Yep, the goals he’s scored have hidden some largely average displays.

 

Whereas Mavididi is some sort of ghost. 

[Md9]

Really no need to make that tackle at all we don’t make it earlier for ourselves. Couple of yellows should have been given for Oxford surrounding the ref 

[Tommy Fresh]

Are all players allowed to rush the ref now?

It’s no exaggeration but we are making a horrendous decision or mistake literally every 30 seconds. It’s mindblowing how professional footballers can do this.

As soon as they get the ball they can’t wait to pass to someone else under pressure

Ramsey played 1 game in pre season against Shrewsbury Town. There’s no way he’s fit enough to start games yet. Should have been eased back into games by coming off the bench. 

He played against Derby in the Carabao

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Soumare will have his half time wheel of brie and come out second half even more cumbersome

Didn't look over the ball to me, just that the ball had already gone

Never got near the ball foot off the ground not in control borderline choice for a referee. Not great choice by the player.

[Ric Flair]

Whilst we are a work in progress, Marti has a squad of players that at this level should be able to pass thr ball and yet so far this season they can't. I then have to start to question if it's their malaise or his weakness at instructing and coaching? 

 

We are up for the scrap which i praise but Cifuentes is proclaimed to be a very possession orientated manager.

Not when you're obviously not going to make the ball, at 100mph and over the top, no.

he wasn't going 100mph it was just a sliding tackle didn't even touch the player

[TrentFox]

I don’t care if Winks shagged Vesty’s dog on Top’s desk in front of the Buddhist monks…… he still starts ahead of Skipp. Even with a broken feckin’ leg. 

[moore_94]

Great counter on his own by Mavididi

 

No one bothering to get up with him

[MPH]

Mavs… you needed to belt it one…

[HybridFox]

Got to shoot earlier there. This will be a long game though ffs Ramsey

[lgfualol]

Even before the red Oxford seemed to be set up better and have more quality

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Soak it up, Monga on after 70 mins and catch them on the break.

No one fast enough

[JimJams]

Mav just needs to set himself for a blast there.  Don't need to beat a man.

 

But that's all we need.  Get a break on, try and punish it.

No they’re not 

only the captain 

[Md9]

Mav should hit it earlier there

Makes it weirder he seems to like Okoli when the bloke acts like the ball is a used johnny thats been flung at him
