The reactions are anything but knee-jerk; there’s a very steady and certain build up of disillusionment and discontent. Sadly, it will turn to contempt for many if this continues.
The knee jerk reaction was the jubilation that followed tonking a couple of shit teams and a good hour against Palace.
I agree but that's not the point, we have some big games coming up, we probably don't want to put Ruud on that horse yet because he isn't expected to do well.
Sounds like a replica of last season. No other club aspiring to be back at the top table would put up with his performances in the last 18 months. He’s diabolical.
Open season on trolling these days
The 7-0. Worst day ever as a United fan.
There was never a 7-1. We did not even score.
What’s mad about that is it still looks awful and yet it’s one of the best case scenarios.
Another one that will start coming up soon is how he was right in not wanting Ugarte and how INEOS have let him down by bringing a player against his wishes. You just know 100% this will come.
The reaction to Palace game was hilarious. We drew against a team that has been struggling and is yet to win a game this season, a week after they nearly lost to Leicester (who scored 2 as opposed to 0) at home, and by just looking at people's reactions you'd have thought we just thumped Arsenal 3-0 at Emirates.
My brain read the quote. I guess its a mental defence to not remember that result.
This. The worst part though is that I think a new group is starting to grow. The group that just accept things and think "it is was it is".
We haven't been ruthless. Barring Moyes, who shouldn't have been hired in the first place, we have given managers far too much time and wasted the potential of the players we've had in the squad. We need to clear out managers much faster, you can't expect players to give up 3 years of their careers because you don't want to be perceived as a sacking club.
Not sure this years recruit can be attributed to him, but regardless he can't set up a team to score goals. And makes diabolical changes every week. I think we are wasting time with him.
Knee jerk? Seriously?
Exactly
Agree, but Mainoo, Ugarte, Mount isn't an awful midfield.
What’s mad about that is it still looks awful and yet it’s one of the best case scenarios.
Not to defend the result but losing at OT to them was much much worse. We’ve had some real lows these last few years.
How about 'on xG we should have drawn to Liverpool' and 'we almost drew at Brighton' trophies?
The 3-0 and 5-0 at OT, and 7-0 and 4-0 at Anfield were all basically equally bad in my view. The 3-0 this year could have easily been a 5-0 if they cared, and 5-0 could have been a 10-0 if they cared.
Sure, but nowadays I don't feel that surprised. The 7-0 was when I still had hopes. A couple of weeks ago we all already did know what was coming.
Yeah I completely agree with this. In the first half Rashford had their full back and being honest everyone else in their side on toast, they couldn't handle him. So what did we do? Sent everything down the middle, for Bruno to dangerously lose possession over and over again.
My eyes bleeds and cries at the same time reading those results...
I don't think he's lost the dressing room at all. Second half performances are largely due to him being completely incapable of impacting the game in a positive way, all he can do is either sit idle or make changes that make us worse. In the meantime most other managers at this level are typically quite good at reading the game and reacting to what's going on the pitch, which is the reason why we pretty much always look worse as the game goes (was also the case last year where we conceded a massive number of late goals, which all his fans simply attributed to bad luck - it wasn't).
