Yeah - can't read that much into the game. Perth tried to play out from the back which meant we won the ball within 10 yards of their penalty area... and 11 of them had already parked up behind the ball. On top of that United had trained in the morning. So eh.
Always find it interesting... having played against A-League/reserve level players before... how fudgeing fast they are and how ahead of the game they are... then they go face up against an EPL side and they look like slow amateurs. Just reminds you how good these guys actually are.
Greenwood has had the best season a young player could ask for. His finishing is normally superb, and he can hit 35 yard free kicks on either foot.
Gomes has the potential to be something else. I think if anything will be his downfall it's that he's a little slow. Otherwise, his dribbling is a sight to behold. Some confidence and some fortune and this guy could be a generational talent.
Nottingham Forests John Robertson was slower than a wet week but one of the best wingers around in his time. I know I have had to trawl back 40 years for an example but hopefully the lack of pace might not be a problem.....
The thing that bothers me the most is the inability to offload players, we have enough center backs for a complete starting 11. Im not really a huge fan of football365 but this article was one to think about.

Just poor management from the board, Woodward and Ole.
Smalling renewed his contract on the 16th December and Ole took over on the 19th. Can't believe he did not know. Phil Jones resigned on the 8th February this year, so in my book he is as much to blame.
