The usuals here do little else. Sure look at the replies to my post a few minutes ago.

You said it was a coaching issue but then bristled when asked what coach you would prefer?

S.M.B.

I really find it hard to believe Jose actually tells them to pass to the opposition.

It might not be a managerial issue but it's certainly a collective issue. This isn't about individual players being off form or not good enough. The entire team are too casual, on different pages and unable to do the very basics.

Maybe it is the WC but I'm not so sure. Maybe it's the fact that this game is meaningless but that's a real disappointment and doesn't explain similar performances in big games this season. It's all a little worrying.

The good news is we have the quality to up the tempo a few gears and we could easily turn this into a positive result.

No shots on target no shots off target?

Dont remember 1 shot in that half apart from rashford that defender headed out?

Shocking bad

So I misread you harping on about Pogba to one poster, after they criticised fellaini fir trying to pass through a Brighton player and almost gave up a goal from it. Cause criticising Pogba at that second was needed.

You don't like bangkok and jump on him all the time.

I actually think because i defend pogba a good bit, people want to criticise him more ha

Go way sure why bother posting lets all just agree with everything. How about ya stop moaning when your at it.

I'm not saying people need to agree

Are you saying that for someone to criticise fellaini for two painfully stupid passes they must criticise Pogba first, and if they don't this should be pointed out to them repeatedly?

Cause that's my problem. The criticism of fellaini was 100% justified and having a go at bangkok for doing so was childish and needless.

Midfield is complete and utter ****e. Nobody in the team playing well yet even at that Fellaini, Matic, & PP are standing out with how crap they are.

pjohnson

And why in the name of Jaysus did we renew Rojo's contract??

This is his first appearance since that renewal right?

Bollix Mitch.

Bangkok is a big boy and can stick up for himself on here and is well able to.

I don’t jump on him all the time. I just disagree with him on a lot of stuff like he does with me. And shock horror we actually agree on some stuff too and discuss it.

You carry on though policing the thread.


I’m out.

We all read this thread and aiming to start an argument over Pogba after a sh1t pass from fellaini was needless.

How Soon Is Now

Can't really fault Pogba in that first half. He's trying constantly whole half dropping deep just to try get on the ball and always looking to bring things forward while so many others are knocking it sideways and backwards.

It's obvious without Lukaku to link up with he has no focal point.

I would rather let fellaini go in the summer and sign romeu as a cheap replacement. For a lad that went to the press during the week and talked badly of united that has been an awful performance from him esp when he looking for a new contract

If 90% of your posts is utter nonsense, it's going to be called out.

That's a lot of posts to be called out on. So it's easy to assume someone is not liked when in fact it's nothing to do with been liked or not, it just means your posting rubbish far too often.

It's amazing what a poor 45 mins can do in this thread hahah

Have a can lads, relax. I expect a better performance in second half :P

Ah you can fault him. There's been a lack of movement but his own passing has been sloppy and his defensive work poor, as usual.

I asked you a genuine question

I said nothing about sacking Mourinho in my post. I saw little need to respond to that question and go down the well trodden path of discussing potential replacements which will ultimately end up as a discussion about Pochetinno with the usual lazy posters claiming that because he hasn't won a trophy he isn't a good manager, or doesn't at least have the potential to be one.

Regarding your other post: I don't want him sacked. I would like to see him become a bit more flexible with his teams and tactics. I'd like to at least see some signs of some sort of attacking strategy in this team.

Fellaini didn't do the only sh1t pass in that half, Pogba also had sh1t passes or was there only one bad.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Herrera on at half time BTW, he was down the tunnel before Jose

But he did the worst pass of the half that almost led to a goal

What imagined digs are you sh1ting on about?

Seriously, are you mixing me up with someone else? I barely quote anyone on this thread or comment on stuff that could be digged over and I certainly don't think I'd be aiming any at you.

I'd be far more likely to be having a shot dead donkey or bangkok cause I disagree with him 90% of the time.

Tired of my digs at you.... Wtf like.

He's misplaced few passes but who hasn't in that first half? A lot the time he's on his own no one to give it to so he ends up having to force his way threw or play a much more difficult pass.

He hasn't been great but he's working hard and there's no lack of effort there he's actually trying to get us forward and do something.

I do genuinly believe pottechino isn't good enough for the Utd job, it doesn't make it a lazy argument on my end because of this.

Again to be clear, was genuinely interested in your opinion.
For me, He's yet to prove he has a winning mentality.
His squad has been good enough to win a trophy for years now and has failed to do so.
I don't want that risk at Utd, we have pricked around long enough since Fergie left. Football has changed.

He has plenty of good posts that he regularly gets hounded for.

Just because you agree with a post doesn't make it a good post.

Surprised there were no half time subs. Jose must have just struggled to decide which one to take off!

Fair enough. I have never advocated for the removal of Mourinho in order to bring in Pochettino though.

Mitch Connor

Cool the way we are able to pass ourselves into boxes and then win a throw.

Again that's not true. When your posting style involves regularly talking up other managers in the most inappropriate times, then consistantly moving the goalposts everytime a point is challanged then post history will continue to haunt you. If you are posting here long enough then other posters surely will pick up on this.

Bangkok posts some good stuff sometimes but I'm convinced he's a genius in another area

I genuinely think some people here are just too sensitive in that regard. I got plenty of playground level sh*t from a few users here too when I praised the likes of Pep and Klopp during the season.
