So....that "not getting another striker in" issue

[dtig]

For those saying the goals will come from elsewhere and the lack of striker support wasn't the end of the world.......4 games, 1 goal......with chances for Phillips and Kranjcar today and neither could put it away.

Hoping that myself and those of a similar mind are proved wrong but right now I can't see it.

Really not sure that one more striker on the books would make that much difference. Ineptitude is ineptitude.

MANCHESTER UTD AWAY FOR FOCKS SAKE, OF COURSE GOALS WILL COME!!!!!!! Its still very much the start of the season....... we've got plenty of attacking options, just give it time!!!!!!

1 goal scored and 9 against really is pathetic .

Indeed it is.....although I'd rather have lost 4-2 than 4-0 and we had the chances.
My point being that the rest of the team are inept at contributing to the goal tally even presented with decent chances...whether they be against United away or Stoke at home.

For what it's worth, I thought Vargas was one of the plus points today. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts ahead of Austin, if Harry decides to play 4-5-1 again next weekend.

We played 4-5-1 today??

Looked like 9-0-1 to me.

unbelievable isn't it! how quick everyone is to turn on the team!

On the basis of today I'd play Vargas over Charlie. Thought Charlie poor today. He's not a target man in any way shape or form, sadly.

im affraid charlie is a championship player at very best!

Really is mate, unbelievable. The funny thing is after a win/good performance this place is like a focking morgue!

no not true! give him time!

[3London]

no support..won plenty of header but with Phillips and hoilett playing so wide he was often heading on to no one. Picked up in commentary. he can't hold the ball up when it arrives to him 7 ft in the air!!

Sorry mate got to disagree with you..... after his first 4 games is not long enough to make that kind of call, especially after UTD away!

Oh well then maybe we should celebrate how inept we were today and resign ourselves to the fact that because it was "MAN UTD AWAY FFS!" We had no right to score goals or play well, and the same can go for City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Spurs!

You think Swansea went there on the opening day with the same attitude?

Don't know about other people but I have pride in the badge and watching us get humiliated fkin hurts.
