    Watford’s home form is atrocious. Losing this would be a sackable offence even if Solskjaer had just won the treble.

    United will win comfortably. By at least 2 goals. Even if United play poorly.

    Actual competitive matches will be Villarreal and Chelsea

    If Watford win... could it be the worst moment post-SAF? Or did we already have that v.s. Liverpool

    It doesnt get much worse than losing 0-5 to liverpool at home.

    But...in my opinion the loss in the EL final was my lowpoint. A trophy (albeit a 2nd rate one) was on offer and our "manager" shit the bed.
    I am still upset over that.

    Same, the point in which I switched to fully Ole Out was probably that final and it has just gotten worse since then.
     
    United will win. The players are all professionals and will put in extra shift to help their manager who is in trouble.

    The only plausible reason why united will lose is probably due to individual errors and weaknesses like those made by Fred, Bailly, Shaw and Maguire.

    It looks like the players might have to stop playing for Ole to get him sacked.

    If the players hit the ground at 100mph against Watford then we’ll know that they still back Ole. If it’s the same lethargic shite then it will be the clearest sign yet that they are not on the Ole train.

    Yep. Sad times when the majority of fans are just waiting for a manger to leave. Even sadder when the manager is an ex player. There’s no way we don’t beat Watford, they look tragic this season.

    We make errors every single game!

    It’s a human sign
    When things go wrong
    Van de Beek and J. Lingard
    Make the bench quite strong

    End to the quandary
    Of your management
    Hope Erik comes calling
    And negativity ends

    Slow, slow start
    Hard done by you
    Joshua King looks sharper, Bailly
    Just passing through

    And it’s no sacrifice
    Just a simple loss
    It’s Solskjaer leaving
    Then it’s a new boss
    But, it's no sacrifice
    No sacrifice
    It's no sacrifice, at all

    Mutual misunderstanding
    At centre-back
    Serendipity builds a person
    Who is just a hack

    We lose direction
    No way to turn
    Keano will damn you
    With a novel burn

    Slow, slow start
    Hard done by you
    Joshua King looks sharper, Bailly
    Just passing through

    And it’s no sacrifice

    No sacrifice
    It's no sacrifice, at all

    Elton and Watford now I get it
     
    Please, please, please let this be a routine win and clean sheet. It would be such a relief to just get through one week without another performance or result that demands an inquest that lasts until the next game.

    Let another club have a sh*tshow for a change and not us.
     
    Ranieri knows how to set teams up to be hard to break down, aside from the Liverpool game they've been ok defensively, I have a feeling this is going to be scrappy one, I think maybe a 1-1 draw.

    I think Ole will revert to the tried and trusted 4231/424, that 532 was an utter joke in the last 2 games. I also won't be surprised at all to see King or Cleverly score.

    Looking at the previous 3 and a half games can't see a Utd goal inciting a response from me. There is just nothing there because it's just delaying the right thing
     
    Watford to win 2-1. They'll be fired up as they know we're there for the taking. We'll be tired after the internationals and 9 days off for everyone else. Fine margins. Fans are great. We have to pick ourselves up and go again. No feeling sorry for ourselves. On to the Villareal game to put it right. Players are working tirelessly to turn things around...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Are we going to look to the next game even before the Watford game? :lol:
    That's progress folks!

    Then this is exactly the kind of match that we are likely to lose.
    If Ole did not get fired after getting humiliated by LFC and MCFC, then he won't get fired if he loses to Watford.
    And let's not forget, after getting humiliated, he was rewarded with a holiday to Norway!

    I expect to get humiliated against CFC.
    Villareal will likely be a draw, simply because we have one of the best players of all time in our team, who refuses to allow MUFC to lose a CL game.
     
    Just a few more days before another Utd induced depression on the Caf... I gotta say thay I rather enjoyed the international break without our team playing

    Pre match excuses.

    :lol:

    If this happens, then that really would show that the team don't have any belief in their ability to win games.

    Except against Young Boys of course.

    I hope some UTD fans are not deluded enough to want us to lose to Watford because they genuinely think that if we do Ole will get sacked as I bet that won't happen even if we lose 10-0.
     
    We'll stumble our way to a scrappy narrow win and almost nobody will care, except Solskjaer and Maguire, who will both come out and say we need to kick on and gain momentum from such a big win, along with other boring platitudes thrown in to emphasise how important beating Watford was. Then we'll lose the next match.
     
    Oh no, proper football is back so soon.

    Used to hate the international break, now wish it would continue for another month or two. That’s what it has come to.

    I think the LFC and MCFC losses were the worst.
    He got rewarded with a holiday for those losses, so if we lose to Watford, he may get a bonus!

    HOW did he ever survive that absolute scouse massacre, well beating but that's only because they showed mercy on us at 5-0
     
    Can you imagine the fans of any other big club in the world accepting those two performances and scorelines? Absolutely insane.

    Watching Scotland has been a bit of a breath of fresh air which is not something I’ve said before :lol:

    Now back to questioning Ole on his team selections and tactical decisions

    Exactly. The majority of the goals we've conceded have been individual errors that could have been easily avoided. We've comparatively not conceded a lot based on teams just cutting us open which should be the case considering the lack of defensive shape we've shown this season.

    This is just from memory btw but that's what I remember. Not a lot of our goals against has been any spectacular play. Just players making silly errors.
     
    Honestly it's worrying we are heading into this game without feeling confident about a win. I think it will be a draw or a win for us but then again I wouldn't be surprised if we lost. No more room for dropped points now in games like these or top 4 will be blown.

    I will check the score on Saturday but won't register feelings either way

    It's that stupid playing out from the back that does it, as soon as you are passing the ball to a player who is 18 yards from our own goal, 1 little mistake & already our opponents are in on goal, which normally leads to a goal, we've seen it time & time again & they still don't learn.

    When I was growing up one of the basic rules of playing football that I was taught was to keep the ball as far away from your own goal as you can.
