    It's all good. We're playing well, just unlucky to go a goal down against a very well organised and hard working Watford. Nobody panic. Just remember the hard times and don't be spoiled.

    We have a non-disbeleiver boys! GET'EM! Burn him at the stake.

    It's mind boggling.
    If you tell a manager that we are hiring you for 3 years and during that time you will spend £300M+.
    What trophies do you think you will win in that time?
    Any manager with any ambition will say at least 2 league titles and a good run in the CL.

    Instead we get an FA Cup and struggling to play against Watford!

    Never mind trophies, right now I'd settle for not being utter shit.
     
    How can BT still maintain it's a good challenge. He had a slight touch on the ball yes, but he still failed to play it out of Martial's possession and then swept the player.

    We just sit off teams. Wait for them to play hoping to hit them on the counter. Lost interest

    I don't understand the plan, basically if the opponents are good enough to not lose the ball stupidly, they will spend a lot of time at the edge of our box and will create easy chances for themselves.
     
    If I'm Mourinho, i will take Valencia off and put Young at fullback. Mata and Herrera to come in for Valencia and Ibra/Fellaini
     
    I remember Keane in his book spoke about how they'd have to match the aggression and effort of these teams and then the quality would shine through. You can laugh at Scholes' tackling but there was a purpose to it which told teams they couldn't beat us like that. All of those players were quality but they were tough as nails too. We just don't have it anymore.

    Rooney's actually a great analogy. Our past teams were like a young Rooney and our present day teams are like the present day Rooney.

    He's not. You could have anybody up there and they would struggle as they have feck all service

    Exactly. Ibra needs service from our players, the only thing he has worked on now is because of Watford players giving him the ball. Our build up play is so poor here.
     
    Herrera on for rooney and mata for rashford at this rate.

    rashford has been in the pocket of the watford defence. A defence that's leaking goals like a broken tap.

    How the feck is this not a foul?

    Is Howard Webb dense? For all the exclusive slow-mo's Howard's clearly got access to that we don't, it's quite maddening he can't see what is clearly a blatant foul. He has cleared Martial's legs out with one foot, then knocked the ball forward with the other.
     
    Not being a cnut or anything both Pogba and Fellaini in a 2 man midfield is going to cost you. Looks so much like Fernandinho and Toure for us last season. One running his heart out while the other just stands, strolls and jogs around waiting for the ball. A 2 man midfield can't have a passenger without the ball. You guys need to either add a 3rd to take the responsibility from Pogba or you need to hit him with a cattle prod when you don't have the ball.

    Watford to their credit are playing to their strengths. Still fancy you to get at least a draw here.
     
    If United looses today, then Jose's tactics needs to be questioned. Total "clueless" football is what United is playing right now.

    He said ref had a benefit of a doubt. :lol:
     
    I can see the "foul on Martial" and "we play Thursday night/Sunday noon" excuses coming a mile away.

    It is genuinely bizarre how we can't seem to improve. It really is depressing. What exactly are we supposed to do?

    What bullshit. Jose came up before the season about how happy he is with the team. How he has great players, how zlatan will be so good. And now you say that Pep has a better balanced squad. Whose fault is that?
    Click to expand...
    Im not sure you can say what I said is "bullshit" it's subjective is it not? Zlatan has been great and I think our team is better than last season, I just think it will take time given that our team isn't as good as Cities were when both the managers came in.

    I think that there is a single person in this planet who can't see it. Unfortunately, he is also the same guy who is making the decisions.
     
    How long does it take before our midfield is sorted out?

    Why does Rooney take all the free kicks and corners when he does not put a decent ball in?

    Inept without energy and movement, could e another record broken today.
     
    Whe Martial went off why didn't he slot Rooney on the left and get Herrera or Carrick on?
     
    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

    You're the one obsessed :wenger:, I mentioned Rooney has been utter fecking shit. Which he has.

    I "singled" out Rooney because at that moment of the game he'd just done something shite.
    Click to expand...

    Dont you know you have to mention that other players may also be shit whenever you criticise Rooney on here.

    I recommend "tbf Dong Fangzhuo wasn't very good either"
     
    Blind, Pogba, Herrera as MF 3 would be the ideal solution to this mess. Can't see it happening tho. Fellaini has been good tho. Not knocking him at all.
