    Another dangerous moment for Bournemouth as he whips a vicious cross across goal from the right but there's no Bournemouth player there to meet it. Bournemouth doing better the last couple of minutes.

    In fairness, the resurgence in the league started about four games before Jose left. Our play and results had significantly improved. Anfield was the exception. But no doubt about it, the lads are playing with new spring on their feet and better expression. They are also pressing more. I like what I am seeing.

    When we drew 2:2 against Mark Hughes' Southampton? In the four games before Jose left, we had a grand total of 5 points from 12 with the only win coming against Fulham.

    How is that the same as "shit"?

    I don't think anyone said we were shit. We are obviously able to compete for top four but that's it. There has to be reinforcements in the summer though.
     
    This game is crying out for an experienced attacker. Martial, Lingard and Rashford are on fire today, but we need a bit of composure up top
     
    Watching Pogba hustle to get back from O to D is refreshing.
     
    Since they keep telling us all Bournemouth's defenders are injured, is there any chance we can con them into taking Jones, Rojo and Darmain?
     
    Need Martial and Lingard to get into this a bit more

    Yep, and yet the Mourinho sympathisers would have you believe that the entire squad was shit.

    Still find it a bit absurd how Mourinho seemingly has/had so many “loyalists” amongst united fans.

    He literally shat on the clubs prestige and three the players under the bus - all to preserve himself and his reputation - and he’s done next to nothing for us - I.e. yeah he won a couple of cups but he was definitely no legend.

    Yet people shat over ex legends and all, just to defend this man. Don’t really understand it. But oh well. It’s a thing of the past and gladly so.

    Stanislas breaks forward for Bournemouth, racing into acres of space in out midfield. He sees an opening for a shot from 25 yards but pulls it well wide.

    Nah we were shite, the Fulham match was the exception. We lost to Valencia, barely beat Young Boys at home and drew against Southampton and Arsenal. Our play was still horrendous and Jose was on a huge downward spiral.

    The post you quoted literally said something about our squad being shit, and you agreed with that sentiment in your own post.
     
    Lingard is not helping our attack, I would bring Romelu on for him now.

    It's amazing how different they all look now! Do you think Lukaku will get some time when he comes back? The attack looks really promising.

    I understand Lukaku might not be the best at the slick 1 or 2 touch passing, but few players finish as well as him on form so there is definitely a benefit to him. Lukaku is quick and powerful as well. There us no question in the right team or being used the right way he is potentially world class. His stats were in line with Kane prior to United so I don't think we can rule him out too soon.
     
    If we can get a top right FB and a world-class CB in the summer or even in the winter now we will be ready to compete for the title next season. Oh yeah and I don't care if it's kneejerk I want Ole to stay. He is the first manager since Fergie that brings the United feeling back, for that alone we should hire him.
     
    Rashford needed to be stronger there, or knock the ball away. Never should be first to the ball and then let defender take it off him that easily
