FA Cup 3rd Round Macclesfield

[grumpymort]

The lacking bench where he brought on a premier league left back, midfielder and an international who has combined transfer fees of £80m? That lacking bench?

If tactics don’t matter then how come Macclesfield were clearly prepared for ours and had their own ones worked out to counter them. How come we changed ours at halftime? If they don’t matter then why bother?

Sorry this game is all one everyone involved in the first team. Manager, players and coaches.

Those people was on on bench because he started a bunch of kids.

Some people on here are so dumb.

If the manager had the players he would have switched even more but he can't why because he has not been backed.

We has disrespected the conference league and now the FA cup. And especially after we won it.

Some people are indeed.

This is what happens Steve Parish when you don't give the manager any new players in a European season especially after selling Eze. They are injured and the ones who aren't are knackered! Oh and is this supposed to be the cream of the Academy?

There is definitely criticism to be levelled at the board for the summer window and lack of squad investment. However I am not having that as an excuse for today. We weren’t playing a Championship team we were playing semi pros. One of our first team players is paid more in a week than the whole of their squad. We should have more than enough to comfortably win against them. That we didn’t just lose but were outplayed and out competed is 100% on the players and the manager.

 

[Uphill]

Looking back (in horror) several major discrepancies in our game.
1. Poor ball control
2. Too much haste
3. Very poor balls into the box
4. Failure to adapt to the surface
5. Uche is not a forward
6. Wharton did not take control
7. Benitez not bothering with a cap
8. Players not taking it seriously and apparently indifferent

9,10,11 etc - you add your views. In summary: humiliation

 

[Frenchaigle]

The team is clearly unsettled.
am I speaking too soon in saying Glasner is losing the players due to contract situation?

Players injured and fatigue are a genuine excuse but I can't help but think there is more to it.

There's something in what you are saying .

 

[park the bus]

it would be laughing at them. 😁
What a totally inept and shockingly bad game from OG and all the players. Just turning up expecting to win clearly.

Yes. The level of condescension and disrespect for the opposition in the starting line-up was very clear. This one is on Glasner.
I think he has had his time, and change is due. Also the signings at the end of the last campaign were pure smoke and mirrors.

 

[CT Charlie]

Even our best players looked as if they were just going through the motions – because they were just going through the motions. They're human. They're mentally exhausted. They only came to life when Pino's sole moment of good football – perhaps our only moment of quality of the entire match – rekindled their spirits.

To be honest, I'm impressed that we played as well as we did against Villa, given our recent form due to the absence of Muñoz, Sarr, Kamada, and Richards. It's the beauty of football, as compared with other sports, that a lowly team such as Macclesfield can actually have a chance against a "lofty" one such as ours.

 

[MancunianEagle]

Glasner is an arrogant mug ?!?!

Ridiculous comment, I'll put it down to emotions running high after that performance

Yes he is

 

[cryrst]

If Charton do Chelsea later I won't know whether to laugh or cry? May I'll just end it all 😭😂

I have a feeling we may be mentioned by the clown fans 🤦

I think we were set up wrong. And I'm not going to change that opinion. The players should be good enough but an unhelpful set of tactics will diminsh that. Especially when the other team gets it right.

 

[Pikester]

The midfield was too light. Rodney was doing OK but got subbed - even though Pino offered nothing.
Should have started 4-4-2, won the midfield battles and bossed the game.
I love Ollie but it's extremely worrying how easy it is to play against us with a low block. Subs were bizarre, leaving the worst players on.
Embarrassing 😳.

 

[Eaglecoops]

All the players should donate their week's earnings to charity.

On a positive note, it gives us the 4th round weekend off.

Parish did to Macclesfield and look how they repaid him.

All looks rather embarrassing now donating our share of the gate receipts to them. They’ll probably draw Utd away now and rake in about half a million.

 

[MancunianEagle]

They don't when you play a team at this level so run along and go educate yourself.

This was the players at fault it had been proven when he even replaced people and they still did f all.

but in your mind tactics no matter the players will trump anything yeah ok.

Conference level teams are nothing like this team like I said before you have 0 clue what you are talking about.

Use your brain just take a look at the lacking bench that is a big issue yet people still keep ignoring the manager has not been backed and next look at the performance that is all on the players.

Glasner can never do wrong in your eyes can he?

 

[Dogburger]

Not sure how we will learn to live this down. That’s me done with palace games for the season unless we somehow crawl our way to a conference league semi final.

Come back you coward and be embarrassed with the rest of us .

Iv'e lived it down already by the way ,beaten by a better team ,thats football

 

[Ouzo Dan]

Been outside playing Pond Hockey with my 5yr old so only saw the 2nd half.

I'm not even mad, that was funny.
Utd would be mad to go for Glasner.

 

[JHB]

Some people on here are so dumb.

If he could have even more players would have been switched out but he couldn't why because he has not been backed.

Stop with the unnecessary insults.

Blaming losing to a semi pro team on squad depth is ridiculous. There was more than enough there in our team to have won that if the mindset and preparation was right. We fielded a starting line up with 7 internationals in it for goodness’s sake.

 

[Stirlingsays]

I think it is. 🙂

No it's my fault.

I take full responsibility.

 

[Willo]

No It wont complete over reaction you must have seen our games in the 70's and 80's. The main thing is the league, cups are nice to win but our league position is what counts.

I have witnessed games going back to the 60s but today's result against lowly opposition is the worst that I can recall.
A PL team playing non-league outfit, 6 levels below us.Absolutely unacceptable.
😡 😡

And we'll miss Europe due to being 40k over the loss limit.
