How are we 2nd?
The PL is so weak outside of city.4 points pissed away in 3 days.
Yes there was, he started hoofing it constantly at around 92 minsHow are we 2nd?

We were getting results consistently but it's fallen off a cliff recently, barely hanging onto it now unsurprisingly.Lingard has gotten a lot of shit on this forum over the past 2-3 seasons but we need more players like him instead of playing a crocked 36-year-old and the Belgian version of Andy Carroll. Although I think Carroll has better touch than this hippopotamus.
Rashford has been poor, I agree, but I seem to remember him being a talented prospect at striker. He's been playing out of position for the past year and a half. It's about time the club uses its money properly and gets some real wingers and FBs.
I expect we will see him on Google Earth sometimes standing at the far post.I mean he literally missed an open net 3 days ago.
His form is good. Trust wouldn’t be the word though.
I trust him
Did he really do worse in the 1st half than Lukaku, Rashford or Mata? More like not starting Lingard was a mistake.Almost as if Jesse's too good for this team...big mistake not starting him. Didn't respect Burnley enough and almost paid for it dearly if Jesse didn't save us the worst of it.Fcuking joke, so over this shower of shit, and to all you “calm down, we are second, blah fcuking blah” think on,all the money spent and this is the bang for our buck!!! This isn’t United just an imitation.Burnely take 3 shots with 2 on target and score twice. United take 23 shots and score twice.Shades of Moyesy's Fulham game where we put in like 50 crosses.What an absolute useless bunch of crossers.this was better to be fair- Burnley are all of a bunch of cowards who try yo park the train. Of course I don't blame them for their approach based on their size as a club but they just frustrate the bigger boys by this crap hoofball type of theirsWe created very little from minute 70 to stoppage time, that was truly pathetic, despite the constant pressure we did very little with the ball. The players don't know how to play with each other in attack, Rashford just runs holds up, crosses it, perhaps tries a shot but interacts with his colleagues very little. It's all ridiculously disjointed.Fair play to Jesse. But it’s a sad state of affairs when you’re relying on him to get the points.
Shocking stuff. It’s all fallen apart for Mourinho since the City game but the warning signs were there long before. It’s been an appalling run of games and he has to take responsibility.
The squad has been far too lacking at the attacking end for so long. Too reliant on injury prone and inconsistent defenders.
Changes will have to be made. Finding it hard to care about football right now as it just seems more of the same. Not even sure where we go from here but this team is a long way from where it needs to be.
Thanks Kostur! Much obliged.Nowadays the big and
There isn't any who can do a better job for now. Dream on. All of them are stucked with their teams for now.
It is the players that make or break the team. If you have Lukaku defending and afraid of getting struck-in, what do you expect. He has caused United 3 goals already. When Van Persie or Ibhramovic was defending, they are more effective.
De nada amigo, hope you have a good bbq.
Get you out of this forum
Who signed Lukaku?
They aren't good enough.Makes a change from a draw feeling like a defeat, I suppose....
I’m spending the festives with a broken collar bone - so at least I’m not the one doing the bbq
Cheers pal!
Because of Rashford? Oh well. Do we have to wait years for him to progress? Are you convinced by him? Once we get a good wing he will be just a backup IMO and that's best place for him.
I love Mourinho and I agree the players aren’t good enough but he’s had 3 transfer windows and incredible financial backing in which to fix that.
It’s not good enough and given the negativity surrounding the club he’ll do well to turn it around anytime soon. It’s feeling similar to Van Gaal’s second season - Nowhere near as bad in terms of quality or results but that same cloud of negativity that just hangs over the club.Better second half at least. Still overall we don't look to be in a good spell. We need to keep on going though. Champions league is coming so hopefully if we have a bad spell now we can find form later in the season or so I hope.Didn't have a good feeling when I saw Zlatan's name on the team sheet. People buy too much into his bluster about being a lion or whatever. A serious injury at that age is not easily healed. His overall player was atrocious even last season, no reason to believe that it would improve after a comeback from an ACL injury.
Very disappointed. Was still hopeful that we'll be up for a title challenge. Not after tonight. The Manager and the team seems to have given up. Two 2-2 draws either side of Christmas. Bah Humbug!Last edited:
No variety at all in our play. Crossing incessantly with nine Burnley players and may be two of ours inside the box. Did my head in.
The fact you're comparing the two situations says it all really. If you can't see the blindingly obvious progression since his arrival then I suggest you give up with football all together.
Yes I can. Is it going to be difficult? Yes, but then when your nearest rivals spend half a billion on a squad that was already clearly better than our own, it's never going to be easy. What magician are you suggesting we bring in to compete with an inferior squad with less money to improve exactly? Bare in mind they will need to win the league after a season.
Agreed, Rashford's crosses are better than his posts.
You feck. Watch out your words. First time I'm saying so, and it's true.
feck off. I've had with this shit. Ref stole the game.. First time I'm seeing this.
Irony Alert!
good points- he also is not helping himself by sulking so much. What has happened to that bubbly, sarcastic, funny, happy fella? No more cheering the team on, just sitting on the bench and not even cheering his team for scoring a goal? I know that has nothing to do with what is happening on the pitch but my word, that is poor PR, poor body language
Your point?
You had defensive approach, negative against better teams and referenced long ball tactics in the one post. Apologies I assumed that you were being ironic.- Status
