It doesn't alter the fact that it's clearly not remotely applicable to City who won the title at a stroll last season, or to Liverpool who go to the CL final. There's no set rule on how titles are won.

Spend £50M on Fred, don't play him
We're not Shitty knowPeople who thought we gonna try and build on Spurs first half.
No, but when paired together they add a distinct lack of mobility to the midfield. Safe to assume we will see nothing even remotely resembling that exciting first-half display against Spurs. Back to basics for Jose and the team.
Very disappointing.
Reading that makes you feel Frasmotic and Compunctuous .Predictable team. We need Fellaini for set pieces because Lindelof can't head a ball.
Expect Burnley and their fans will be well up for it. Going to be a struggle.Hardly the most inspiring team but we need the 3 points and this 11 should really be capable of it.
It's not going to be a pleasant watch though,but hey when has it ever been in recent times.Looking forward to the game. Always chomping at the bit after a draw or loss.
The one thing I want to see even more than a win is a good performance where we merit the three points. Given the quality of our players ans Burnley’s exertions midweek, there is no excuse for us being out fought, out worked, being second to every fifty-fifty. I’ll be furious if that is the case.
C’mon lads: step up.
It was always going to be difficult for him to be selected with all of our regular players seemingly fit. He’ll get cup games and could be an option when we start playing two games per week. Given time someone will be injured or dropped. I’m happy Jose is at least sticking with Shaw.
Pretty shocking to think we could be 9 pts off and 15th by the end of week 4 though. Despite Woodward’s backing of Jose, if we lose off a poor player effort, I think it’s curtains for him.
This. Would pay to see him leave.Jose's big £50m summer signing already replaced by Fellaini after 3 matches. But yeah we should have given him more money to waste.This will be a long night if we don't win.
We are playing a different type of team. Moan after the game if we drop points.
Nor does City winning the title change how titles are usually won. There aren't many instances of a poor defence winning titles certainly in the PL
I mean according to the geniuses on here when Fergie said that he was probably just throwing his defence under the bus
I might just start creating fake Jose quotes using Fergies old ones and watch the tools in here go ballistic slating Jose
You are seriously the most negative poster on this entire forum. Do you ever have anything positive to say?
Disastrous is just untrue.I can't beg more for a river on this.. someone help? Completely ruined my Sunday as i have everything set up to go and realise i can't find it on Sky. Fuming.
You just don't want to give any credit to my man Fellaino.
Hope he has a stormer today .. .to change again a few peoples opinions.Why he's gone for an attacking approach against Tottenham, and a defensive one against Burnley, I don't fecking know. Surely our approach last game would work well against Burnley?
Is he just trying his best to save face and not lose?Any rivers guys? Would be much appreciated, thanks
Yea but hes behind everyone in the midfield pecking order. He only played because others werent availablr.Lukaku to score a rebound from Pogba's shot and we have an entire week of Pogba FC telling us how he's bigger than MUFC.Just realised 50 million pound Fred has been dropped.What a underwhelming signing he's turning out to be.
No that's me - please don't take that role from me - I detest Jose & I enjoy seeing him struggle since it won't make a difference either way as he was a failure from day one we signed him
Absolutely. Especially true for someone coming from a different league.People who thought we gonna try and build on Spurs first half.
I am far more disappointed than I should be.Good lineup against a resilient team. We'd need the extra height for clearing their set pieces and Fred is poor in the air.
He can have a stormer today and still not change my opinion. Every time he has been brought onto the pitch it has been whenwe need to hoof the ball in desperation. The vast majority of his performances have not been United standard.
Go for it.Nor does City winning the title change how titles are usually won. There aren't many instances of a poor defence winning titles certainly in the PL
I mean according to the geniuses on here when Fergie said that he was probably just throwing his defence under the bus
I might just start creating fake Jose quotes using Fergies old ones and watch the tools in here go ballistic slating JoseLooks like the Fred experiment is over.
Basically last seasons team with last seasons tactics.

Has to happen, we have center backs not capable of handling anything aerially (also Mourinho’s fault) Fellaini has to play until this is sorted.I couldn't get the pink shirt in so. [URL=http://www.directupload.net]
[/URL]What channel is this on (I know its not on sky or bt)
He's played three games for us ffs.Changing the back four every game check, put in Fellaini instead of a mobile player check, play boring football check.
Been a Mourinho supporter but i have had it. He will never change.
He's not your man. Fellatio is no man's man.
In a word, yes.
Understandable given his predicament in all fairness.
