    The worst part is I'm actually used to all this now. Nothing fazes me about our performances, nothing can surprise me and I don't even get that angry anymore.

    I think we are done as a big club in the foreseeable future. The history will always be there, but we have lost everything that made us a club challenging for all trophies, everything.
     
    Well these games against League one sides were at least fun to watch in the previous few years. Now even these have become depressing to watch.

    I'm guessing you chose to wipe out that MK Dons humiliation haha.
     
    He's been dispossessed once, made 8 inaccurate passes and taken 3 shots on (zero on target). So yeah, not good. He is coming back from injury, so I guess we cut him a little slack? It's been a bad half for him.
    Missed an open goal that my 10 year old would have buried
     
    A senior debut for Brandon Williams. Jones is off. The Maestro Rojo moves to CB
     
    This truly baffled me. No one told him to stop, no one. And I'm not talking about the players, I'm talking the staff as well.

    Sadly it doesn't surprise me anymore, it's what I expect. Players do whatever they want on set pieces too, just look at Rashford.
     
    Which sums the point up really - a united team without a manager should win this in their sleep. They just aren’t good enough.

    Wtf has Lingard been doing all half?

    Unless tactics are making things worse. Jesse is one of those hungry local talent who understands man United
     
    LVG was the only time I saw a genuine identity in playing style that wasn't just "work hard and hope an attacker can pull a goal out of nothing". It didn't work, it was boring as shit, but it was pretty damn clear what LVG was trying to implement.
    If the player recruitment was taken out of LVG hands and he was just allowed to coach the team. I think LVG would have been a success. He was awful at recruiting, great at coaching.
     
    Apologies for the hyperbole but I'll go anyway and stand by this; Chong is utterly useless and is being kept quiet by someone whose last meal was served to him via a placenta.

    He will end up playing for AZ Alkmar, St Etienne, Benfica, Bursapor and Swansea level clubs if he is extremely lucky. Fully expect him to of been released or sold inside of 24 months.

    There is zero ability there.

    If I'm wrong I'll donate £100 to the charity of the Cafes choice.

    Bravo...in these dark days I can always come to the Cafe for amusement.
     
    Only Tuanzebe has that vibe and tempo in the play you would expect from United player in this kind of a match, the rest of them play without any urgency.

    100% agreed. Thats partly down to quality though, when Lingard/Pereira take 2-3 touches to get the ball under control thats what is going to happen. Someone like Pogba on the other hand takes his time cuz he wants to make the killer pass.
     
    We are playing against Rochdale not Real
    True, Rochdale are playing against United not real too. :D
    I think most teams are wise to us now.
    Sit back and defend and we're unlikely to show the quality needed to break them down.
    Like I say, I think when we eventually do change the management we'll need to bring in better, more creative players.
    Not sure why that's controversial to be honest, we know what the likes of Lingard,Pereira,Fred,Rojo,Jonesetc are and aren't capable of.
