But that makes no fecking sense.

likely going to be a rubbish end of season game, it isn't going to help sell anyone.

If he wanted to play Blind he could have dropped Young and played him left back - giving some possibility to play someone a little attacking in midfield.

This type of crap is why i am struggling to stay on board with Jose.

At home, last day, no need for a result.... and we play 3 defensive midfielders.

Its just such irritating rubbish. Has gone from a potentially fun and exciting final day to a likely turgid affair that I can't be arsed watching.

It isn't 3 defensive midfielders.

I know MUTV are bluffing that Martial is on his way out, or actually possibly injured, but comparing it to Blair saying Iraq had WMD's weirdest ****ing comparison I've ever read in a football thread..

TL;DR Couldn't think of another comparison eh Bangkok..

oh, so you are going against MUTV which said Blind in a midfield 3 with Carrick and McTominay.

Can you tell me where you have seen a differing account of the formation?

Might well be tghe case, but I see no reason to argue against the formation MUTV have put out, when we have nothing else to go on (that I am aware of)

clap clap clap we lost the league but you've just won the Internet

I happen to know Jose has sent Martial to London 6 days early to get into position.

Yes. MUTV arent always correct. Blind will play left back I'm sure.

Seems to be giving the guys who were around the squad but didnt get much game time a game he could have thrown in some youngsters but sure meh

But what are you going on to say that they are wrong, in such a matter of fact way?

yabadabado

I would expect Blind at LB and Young LW and I hope it is that for no other reason than to see Alexis RW.

Neymar feels like Di Maria 2 in the making. I know he is class but I’m not convinced these sort of characters will thrive in Manchester!

His behavior and antics at PSG would have me certain that Neymar should be brought nowhere near the club, no matter his talent.

It' would be a disaster relationship between the manager and himself and would seriously cause dressing room unrest.

He made his bed in Paris and he can stay there for all I'm concerned. He's transpired to be a real prat.

I actually thought this was pretty funny tbh.

Genuinelly toying with just not wasting 2 hours of my life on this game. Lineup is brutal and doesn't look that interesting for our final home game and last game of the season.

Jesus FA Cup doesn't even matter for me at this stage, need this horror show to end and start a fresh season ...

Martial situation is somewhat typical and just sums up my mood at the moment. I pretty much doubt he's injured

For the life of me I'll never ever understand this crap.

So what if the team is playing **** or not entertaining that could easily be fixed next year if Jose is sacked because things don't work out but winning trophies is always what it's about if we can't get behind the team in a cup final what's the bloody point?

It just goes to show some people let the bloody hyperbole agenda take over. I've the past 5 months we have been as good as anyone playing against top teams we have scored goals and cone away with positive results and even if we weren't why wouldn't you give a sh1t about fa cup final.

Lord TSC

Right lads. Dare to dream. Anyone got a half/half scarf with United and Brighton on it? :P

On TV today?

The reason the last few games have been boring is Cause united comfortably qualified for top 4. The reason Liverpool’s game is on today is cause they have been awful for the last month and have nearly managed to throw a top 4 spot away and conceivably not make champions league next season...

Cue Pep saying Liverpool will be the biggest league challengers and the narrative is switched from success being based actual end of season position/honors to the entertaining football falacy.

When it comes to United , the Pundits and hyperbolic fans =

Don't get this.

Even at the height of VanGaalBall, I never missed a game I didn't have too. I hate to pull out the "real fans" bull**** but I couldn't imagine ever going "I'm not going to watch United play"....

3 defensive midfielders. Embarrassing.

People need to chill about squad players getting a game in a nothing game

Mitch, I may be wrong here but I'm picking up some vibes you aren't impressed with the midfield today. not sure whats giving me the impression tough :pac:

Why? Why could it not have been some of the young lads? Why does Jose have to be conservatively defensive to the last?

It’s night like he’s playing them sitting back in front of the defence, they are tasked to play higher up the pitch..

Surely lads like blind mctominay darmain etc deserve a game for being in or around the squad all season

So play blind left back and then an attacking midfielder in the three.

Not the pattern of play that I'm seeing. And, simply, they don't have the ability. They're defensive players.

So play an attacking line up and involve some youngsters. Players that will be part of our future.

Mctominay doing good things again so far

Mctominy and rashford are playing, preference seems to have gone to senior squad players over youngsters and rightly so youd be fair pissed off to sit on the bench or stands all season and then have youngsters start over you

So what? Blind and Darmian are very likely to be getting sold. And haven't played cause Jose doesnt trust them.

And you could still play both if you just drop young out, meaning you aren't playing with 3 defensive midfielders at home to Watford on the last day.

Maybe they wont be sold and this keeps them happy. So what is right your getting embarrassed over absolutely nothing

So play them at full back and don't go totally defensive when not needed. It's an embarrassing attitude from United, going for a 0-0 draw. Pathetic.

Nah, I'll continue to vent my frustration over Jose's insistence against playing attacking football.

I like to enjoy the football I watch. Sorry about that, do you just wait for the result, if that's all that matters?

What was that about a 0-0 draw Mitch :pac:

Lord TSC

Rashford!

Jose will be furious if he was going for the 0-0 draw though
