Why do fans feel the need to be hyper critical so much of the time? We're just hitting the best spot we've been in for 8 years and it shifts immediately into Bruno being a "bang average passer of the ball". He's had one of the most ridiculous impacts you'll see a signing have and it's still not enough. We've gone from floundering around in 6th with Lingard and Pereira starting in our midfield to asserting ourselves as one of the top few teams in the league.
Some people are just never happy or even content. Moan about this in 12 months if we've stayed stale but as it is, we're progressing forward. It was always going to be a 'project'.
People like to just sit in their armchairs and pick, pick and pick. I imagine these types will only ever be consistently content with a team that wins 37 league games a season.
Yes, people make mistakes, they lose the ball, they make poor judgement calls. That's just being a human being and the absolute very, very best players in history are also guilty of this. Part of why football is a great sport to watch is its fast, intense, physical and people have to make countless decisions in 90 minutes with seconds, if that, to cosbdier them. The mistakes make it exciting and they show us that we're watching a sport played by people, not robots.
I have no idea what team or players you've been watching that game after game there's just always fault to pick. What are your expectations?
Yes, there were some bad instances of decisions or playing balls that didn't come off. Yes, in hindsight we could have done things differently but if you're not enjoying where we're at right now, what on earth do you get from watching football?
I'm not saying don't criticise at all, obviously that's part of the fun, the debate after the game etc but it's the tone people do it in. With this sort of air of arrogance about yourself that reduces a really difficult game to play at this level to seem so basic and simple.
Bruno seems to very much be following instructions. Play it forward fast and in behind at almost any opportunity. That's fine, we can't play every game like fans want us to because there's so much riding on every single result. It's easy to sit on a forum and act like an expert but even small decisions can have lasting ramifications and I think Ole got it all pretty much bang on. Instead of whinging and not picking why isn't there any kind of unity or harmony at all? Why does it have to be so toxic and argumentative?
I've seen 'trashford' making rounds again and it's awful.
Say what you will about the money in the game, VAR etc but it's honestly the fans that spoil football the most for me. It's just whinge, whinge, moan, moan, insult, insult. A new type of toxicity that spreads around and sucks the life and soul out of the game.

That’s the hope, but it is still a risk imo. But Ole has done pretty well with the youth tbf to him so happy to see what he does with him.

Yeah I think that’s one thing you can really trust him on.
