    The way our players have felt free to turn up at Old Trafford and take a solid shite on the pitch, the badge and the history of the club this season, I could withstand a few boos to be paid £300k a week to have the privelage of having OT as my personal toilet.

    Nope, not today. But in a year or two.

    That is why he is going to be a superstar

    Decent at best.

    the only potential superstar we had turned out to be a complete piece of shit. Sums it up really.

    Feck him the prick. Elanga will be a star. He is the complete opposite.

    Hope he scores a winner now

    He is. Quote me in a year or two.
     
    If you don’t want to pick Rashford then why not Lingard up top? His off the ball running is generally one of his better attributes and we know he can finish when he gets in front of goal. He’s a better player than Elanga and a better forward than Pogba.

    I just want a manager who players players in their best positions when possible.
     
    We look so low on confidence, nobody wants to shoot when in on goal, trying to walk the ball in because they’re all terrified of missing. Rashford and Elanga getting into each other’s way, this isn’t how we play at home.
     
    Thought the Leicester goal that was disallowed was very harsh. I’d be raging if that decision went the other way and it cost us the 3 points.
     
    Pogba has no urgency and is just not very good really. he needs to me more explosive, he is a professional athlete. give me his body and I would win most headers
    in the press rashford has no urgency or starts running always very late with no purpose and no prediction.
    fernandes seems to moan at everything but still i feel he is not a weak link. remember his first game with us, he was more goal focused (more shots from outside the box)
    sancho has no confidence it was like we played with 1 man down most of the match
    elanga... nearly forgot about him. he has the boldness of youth usually, today he was absent.

    a lot of pedestrian sideways passing for most game.we need quick ball and wingers ready to take on and GET passed their men. We are Manchester United and as a winger that is simply your job. also if you arent going to take on your man then zip a fast pass to your teammate he should learn to control the ball and play max 2 touch football. too many times i see slow pass, touch, look up, touch, touch, look up slow back pass. no kiddying there are no options if you dont zip that ball around.

    I am actually ok with our defence for the most part. maguire was good and dalot offered himself going forwards.

    in general i dont know who are the motivators and psychologist of our team but we need to get them to pump up the players and get them playing the game fast from the first whistle. against teams out of the top 6 play as if we are loosing 1 nil.

    one of the things that annoys me when i watch liverpool how desperate they seem to want to score from the get go- it frustrates me terribly to think another team's set of fans would look at their team wanting it more than us. we only seem desperate to score from the 85 minute in most games. I feel if we played like at the end of games for most of the match we would have a higher win rate. you put most of our players in the liverpool or city side i am sure they would do well, i dont really doubt the talent, more the mentality, and intensity.

    I remember in an interview in 2000-1 of ryan giggs explaining the point of each attach being to get a shot on target whether it went in or not it didnt really matter- it didnt matter as a number of them would go in eventually was his point. doesnt seem like our attacking players have that focus and objective. I sometimes ask myself when they play attack vs defence in training how do things go?.... are the front players better on the training pitch than in the game? do they struggle and play with 1 less defender or 1 more attacker to "balance it out"?

    I can't wait for Pogba to go. He had no intensity to close the ball down for their goal. He does this time and time again. I can't wait for Cavani to go. You just knew he was going to be healthy enough to play in two matches for Uruguay.

    I thought that Rashford would get a start in this situation with no Ronaldo, no Cavani and no Martial. They need Ronaldo to stay and a hungry replacement for Pogba, another midfielder, two quality fullbacks and probably another attacker as I don't see Rashford or Martial coming good.

    There are so many holes in this squad. But a chunk of players are leaving this summer there is a fair bit of salaries available. How do you blow 150k on Mata when there is no use for him.

    I've been pleased with Fred.
     
    Pogba is the biggest clown we’ve had in years. Funny thing is he was kicked out by Fergie for it and we got him back. If he isn’t the embodiment of post-Fergie United then who is?

    Why was it harsh? He clearly takes Varane's right leg under him. Clear foul.
     
    Been a fan for over 30 years and I have never seen the club this low. Of all the players in that squad I only have time for Bruno, De Gea and Ronaldo. They are the only players who deserve the respect of the fans. The rest of the team I wouldn't care if they were sold tomorrow. The sheer apathy they show for the club and the fans is an absolute disgrace.

    If we had not signed Ronaldo we would be about 15th now.

    Yep we looked completely toothless without him today. I honestly can't understand the haters of him anymore. Fair enough if you don't like his personality I suppose but we are definitely a far, far worse team without him IMO.
