Maybe they have better attitudes on and off the pitch despite more limited skills? Maybe their agents don't blab every other week? Maybe they don't tell the press their manager needs to set up the team differently? Those might be some of the reasons.

Cheers! I wish I had some Bailly's to add to my coffee now.
You hope so?Lukaku, Lingard, Matic, Darmian....
Bailly and Lindelof partnership returns!
Going to be switching this off after they score the first goal.So with Bailly in for Smalling is that one of our subs used already?
Why? At least Smalling can head the ball and isn't completely brain dead. Bailly against Liverpool's pressing is going to be s disaster.
No.So with Bailly in for Smalling is that one of our subs used already?
Awful time to have to make a change, especially before such a big game. Even worse when it's our best pure defender.
It's not his fault, no. But it is our fault we keep rewarding injury-prone mediocre players.
I've also noticed players' performances take a noticeable dip after every new contract too.Our players are made of glass.Does anyone actually ever want a half and half scarf? I can’t imagine either fan wants the name of their rival on their scarf unless it’s followed by the words “got pumped by”.
Well I usually buy them and store it at my home then keep it as a memoir of the game.Right I'm away to watch the first half. Might be back at half-time, or might be floating in the Irwell, scoreline depending.Not sure why we're playing three at the back when we have done pretty well in a 4231 against Liverpool of late.Can't really say I'm looking forward to this.Smalling injured wtf is happening to this club?
He's a fractured foot and is trying to play through it. Its an absolute farceChanging my prediction from 4-1 to 5-0. Being deadly serious too.
The myth he's injury prone is well.. A myth.
Nah. Doesn't count when a change is made prior to kick-off.So with Bailly in for Smalling is that one of our subs used already?
Sign new contract. Get injured before major game.So with Bailly in for Smalling is that one of our subs used already?
No, Jones has taken Bailly's place on the bench.
No, because this time every season half our teams out. We've had a terrible injury record for going on a decade
Jones is injured, so naturally Smalling gets injured
No true United fan would buy a half-and-half scarf until Mourinho gets the sack.Terrible scarfs ahoy:
A late change before kick-off, Smalling with a foot injury and Bailly comes into the team.
Did he say anything about the manager who has us in 6th barely hanging onto a + GD? Or he just said things about players he doesn’t like?
Yeah, for us.
Made of glass our players
A painkilling injection is my guess. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team with a fractured foor
Yeah but they can flirt with Italy in the press
Or maybe, because Jose is a cnut, that's also an option.Can we please have the pre injury Bailly!! Even if just for 90 minutes....
I’d wager it’s Smalling who insisted he was fit, not the doctorsMaybe Smalling felt too much pressure already!
Jones wasnt injured? Just not selected?We are going to win this.So with Bailly in for Smalling is that one of our subs used already?
No, you can make last minute changes before kick-off if there's an injury.
Ah, that crap again. In all honesty I'm in the minority camp where I feel both need to leave. Both are a negative influenceCOME ON UNITED!Here we go. Going to be bumpy.I am pretty confident United will win. 1-2 I think.
Somehow Mourinho always gets the best end of the games when it seems for his position he is holding on for dear life.
Even though he can lose 6-0 and still manage till 4th place is out of sight.
Cheers. Well that's something at least.
haha.. he looked at the team selection and was like 'nah, i want none of this cya'- Status
