Nah, he could score a hat-trick of own goals and he would still start the next game.Wow, that's a really tall central midfield.0-3. Sanchez, Lukaku and Pogba.
Fellaini in midfield is not the end of the world. He is solid most of the time and we do need a bit of hustle.
We tried the high press, attacking style and lost 3-0.
You wanted us to play the same style again?
True, but look at City's squad between 2016-17 and 2017-18. 22 points difference, from first to third, with the same style of play. The major difference? They're not relying on Claudio fecking Bravo in goal, they have Ederson who's a far better keeper in general. They also recruited Walker, Danilo and Mendy for their defence (granted Mendy was injured for most of the season). The only truly attacking signing was Bernardo Silva who was a bit-part of their success last season.
As for Liverpool? They did outstandingly well to get to the CL final, but in huge part thanks to a season from Salah which ranks among the best individual seasons from someone not named Ronaldo or Messi in living memory. Not to mention their shite keeper cost them the final in the end.
While I agree that there's more than one way to skin a cat, and while I'm as sick as anyone of Mourinhoball at this stage, I cannot envisage that if we had a back four which had Evra, Vidic and Ferdinand in their prime that we would not be committing far more players forward than we currently are, because we could trust that should we lose the ball nobody in that defence is going to shit all over themselves and cost us a goal.
Yeah and we are still likely to concede a headed goal from a set-piece.Fellaini and Matic in a double pivot against Burnley to counter their aerial quality is smart, but reductive. Burnley will draw confidence seeing that we’re setting up reactive and could potentially urge them to play more aggressive against us. I think we’ll win this one, but it will be marginal, I suspect. I understand what Jose is thinking, even if I do believe it’s unnecessarily conservative.Fellaini, Matic, Lindelöf
I could understand Fellaini, but another slow and tall midfielder plus Lindelöf is absolutely atrocious. Jose going back to his usual negative self.
And we will win today. I’m glad I don’t have the option of watching it though.
Winning obviously takes a priority today, so I guess it makes sense that he goes back to his tested ways.i thought this was on sky

7:40 AM - 2 Sep 2018omg mourinho rotated the team incredibleWhy do I always have hope before games, it's way too risky? Anyway let's win that game!Ed Woodward, a specialist in failure.
The banner was just shown on TV, the plane is still flying and circling the stadium.That banner is beyond shite. Seriously a pack of morons.Fecking banner
This.Was it actually Utd fans who paid for the banner or a newspaper?
Yip, couldn't care about performance today.
Lose and we're 16th and Jose will very quickly be hoping for his own Mark Robins moment.Great team. We'll play the best football we have in two years and score five goals .
Good question or a stupid betting firm?Fellaini hasn't played as a no.6 in over a year yet the resident idiots are projecting their 'negative' tag onto the selection. Fellaini is either a no.8 or target man, he is not going to shield the back 4 when Matic is in the team.Well... there's the banner.Uninspiring team. Mourinho really doesnt help himself. But lets see if we get 3 points
FansI don't understand the animosity towards Woodward.
We are becoming more and more like Arsenal this season.Oh God. Guarantee that whoever hired that plane is not at the match today.Worry about Fellaini’s needless fouling and the resulting set-pieces. Still think we will win comfortably.Charlotte DunckerVerified account @CharDuncker

How sad is thatFellaini bashing is in full swing. Way of supporting your team.I just had a crazy idea. Let's support the team today and stop being a bunch of whinging cnuts.
His job is recruiting players. We needed at least 4 first team players this season, he signed one.
He failed at his job.Fellaini in.
Mourinho doesn't get it. He never will.A pretty up for it looking line up. I fancy this will be a good performance today. Lots of players in that 11 need a good performance or are already a playing well. Reckon we’ll smash them today.
