    What the?

    So because, we're tired (A problem who is there because Mourinho only use the same players in ALL tournament and thereby a trouble he has self caused), we should just threw every standard, this mighty club has for three points?

    It's beyond me, that Mourinho can think about doing this.

    Be realistic about this squad . 35 year old Carrick lethargic fellani in midfeild . We got 3 points right so chill we need summer transfers to get better at our philosophy.

    I guess we will never know then unless we go back in time and keep Mata on or bring on a positive sub. Also the goal wouldn't have come had Smalling hadn't had a brainfart and tried to clear the ball with his right food when he could have easily done with his left. Now you're gonna say the ball wouldn't have come in had we not brought a defender on. And no one can argue with a logic like that. Just saying that the sub would have brought us a clean sheet had Smalling not messed up. We were surely nt going to keep a clean sheet with Mata on.

    Tell me one thing. Did they look more likely to score or less likely to score after the sub? Even before the goal.

    I agree Mata being subbed is correct. But instead bring Martial or Mikhi on to help keep the ball.

    Who? The United fans who would moan irrespective of the result?

    You said no one cares I pointed out you were mistaken

    It was a terrible tactic and subsituation and put us under more pressure for the last 20 mins

    Because that is not the spirit of Manchester United. We shouldn't be a pragmatic club because Mourinho is a coward and a pragmatic human being.

    Like I said. I could accept if it was the 2nd leg of the semi finals of Champions League, and we were 10 minutes from getting into the final and we were playing at Allianz Arena, Santiago Bernabeu or Camp Nou. Then I could understand it, but this .... Against M'Boro? As team who barely can score a goal and in bad shape and form? I mean, how on earth can this even be possible to do?

    What the hell are you going on about , not the spirit, 3 points is all that matters , I dont care how ugly the game was.
    He is a coward , how do you get to that?
    I think you need to step away from the computer, we have had a very hard week and we got 3 points , THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.
     
    Honestly Smalling should take up something where his body becomes more fluid. Good game. Could have been more comfortable but considering who we were missing, that's a big 3 points.

    Just a little overreaction there, don't you think?

    Would we rather win efficiently or lose beautifully? I can't think of anyone who would choose the latter. A win is a win. Against relegation contenders so it was a potential banana skin. A good three points, and we are above Arsenal now. If Liverpool drop points today we are well placed for top four AND winning the Europa league. Top four + two trophies including. A European one. In his first season. Won't be a bad result.

    Not sure what you're talking about mate, I'm quite happy. Just trying to understand that post calling Valencia an idiot for messing up a chance that he scored :wenger:

    Let's say he'd missed that ball. Valdes kicks it, header won, goes between Smalling and Rojo. In-between comes Traore - Jones comes diving with a sliding tackle, misses it; red card and penalty. Goal. 1 fecking point. Happy?

    Mate, we were playing the third game in a week, in one of which we played 10 vs 11 for more than an hour. Two of our starting midfielders were missing, the main striker and two wingers, what do people expect?
    Jose made the right subs to keep 3 pts.

    Yet people are moaning

    I wonder why United fans hate Valdés so much. He hardly did anything (good or bad) while playing for us. The error he made was unfortunate. Wouldn't wish that on any goalkeeper.

    Haven't you heard about the personality change people experience on being promoted in the Caf? We tend to become heartless, cold-eyed, cynical chugs.

    Sorry, my mistake - didn't realise he was at fault for the imaginary equaliser as well for missing the goal that he actually scored. Sack the clown.

    A hypothetical after a goal was scored?! What the feck! Now I have seen it all silly troll.

    You must have missed the bits when the 4 centre backs were all tripping over each other due to a formation and set up that was bizarre to all

    Boro without a goal for two months scored one and looked good for a 2nd

    It was a proper case of making things far harder than it should,have been

    Couldn't agree more. Monday they had to play for about an hour with 10 men, that would have been tiring for Thursday, some played another 90 minutes and then played a full game today. Some people are never happy. Jose stuck it to Boro' for his mate as well.

    If it gets us a couple of world class CBs in the summer I will be well chuffed.

    I really don't understand your point.

    Let's say he missed the ball, Valdes kicks it upfield, Fellaini wins a header, we putter it about in midfield, eventually pass back to DDG, who hoofs it upfield, by the time they start coming forward again, it's full time. 2-1.

    3 fecking points.
     
    I bet Wenger must be really really annoyed now. He hates Mourinho. The only positive thing in his woeful season so far was that he could take comfort in being above Mourinho in the league. Not any more. Wenger must surely be on the way out and it's shocking that he would rather withhold the news of his decision.

    We got 3 points, job done, no injuries, that's all I care at this moment.
