What did people expect? He was never going to be a star player. Out of his 3 seasons at Dortmund 1 was average, 1 was awful and 1 was great and even then his stats were inflated because of the EL qualifiers.
He doesn't have to be a star player. but he should at least be a good one. He's not even good though. Fecking woeful more accurately describes him.
 
Don't know what you guys are talking about, I don't remember Kagawa being this bad ever

Have to agree. Kagawa was a good player but pointless signing considering our setup at this time. He would have been great in this current team imo.

Mikhi, on the other hand ...
 
Mkhi has been poor all season really, it's just that a few assists in the first few weeks against poor opposition papered over the cracks.
 
The only time he had quality on the ball when he got it was when Kante put his foot on the ball and took it away from him...
Or when he and, Lukaku and Young put it on a plate for Rashford and he closed his eyes.
 
Chastised for a season for one poor half against City last season.
Gets blind eye turned to for continually being crap this season.
 
The one thing id say is I dont get what hes done to warrant starting Chelsea away. And imo, he really shouldnt start our next big game (which is probably City at home).
 
For a manager who famously is so demanding and unforgiving with his players, I'm amazed Jose keeps starting him with these performances.

His back-ups are Lingard and Mata who already fall short of his demands.

Mkhi is playing no.10 because we couldn't get Griezmann in.
 
A lot of these rages seem misdirected. He's been awful for weeks, surely the blame should sit squarely on the manager who insist on playing him over more in-form players rather than him?

Almost tempted to dig up my posts in his transfer thread to score internet point. This guy has never been a good fit for Utd.

I don't think he was a pointless signing. I believe we signed him to play behind Rooney and then all of a sudden RvP became available and the rest was history.
 
For me, the player we should've got sits on Man City's bench. Bernardo Silva.

I very much doubt that a benchwarmer for the team in 1st place would move us to the required level to be in 1st place. It's not a slight on him, its just that it doesnt make much sense based on the quality of the City team.

Griezmann is a game changer, he's like Rooney in his prime, he can carry the whole team with his brilliance.

Then Jose should play without a 10 until we get one? Find a system that suits the players.

Pogba being out looks more and more important with every game... binds so much together.
 
Alarm bells were ringing last year when he looked shit scared of what he's got himself into after 10 minutes vs City. Like I said at the time, this its why he had to be dropped for 3 months to try and prepare him mentally.

Somebody has not done their due diligence on this guy. We were warned by German posters that this was a real issue for him, being so mentally fragile.

I actually think Jose must have lost the plot to have come into this season relying on him at all. Now we are reaping what we deserve and there's a whole lot more to come. He shouldn't play another even semi-important game for us againand should be sold this summer at the latest. It's not doing him or us any favours him being here.
 
I honestly think Rooney would do a better job, and I don’t miss Rooney at all.
 
Absolute coward of a player. Though asking him to play as a number 10 "creative" is doing him no favours. I don't understand the pre season talk of getting him more central because his best season at Dortmund and his decent year here last year were achieved playing off the right. He doesn't have the desire and will to carry the creative weight on his shoulder, he also doesn't even have the ability. Even with that this obvious lack of effort and not giving 100% is seriously starting to piss me off.

This. His job was always finish the attack by scoring goals or produce an assists. He was never good enough, even for Dortmund, at dictating the play.

I was shock because after just 1 good game at 10 last season (3-0 vs Leicester), everyone came up to claim that he's much better at 10. Dont even know where that came from
 
Question about fans in general, but seen it shot in this thread. Since when did calling players cowards become so normal?

Anyway, he is desperately out of form. Can't play on in big matches anymore. Non existent against Tottenham, and even worse today.
 
He's in hideous form at the moment. No doubt about it, needs to hit the weights room and make some gains like Hazard did.
 


Skip to 1:49 in this video (and do yourself a favour by avoiding Shearer’s thick-headed “analysis”) and have a look at What Mkhitaryan is doing. He’s fecking AMBLING up the pitch. I get the confidence stuff. It isn’t happening for him when he gets on the ball. Fine. But there’s a minimum lack of effort you expect from every professional player and he’s so far short of that it’s painful to watch. He should be breaking his neck to keep up with the attack but he literally jogs instead. What the hell?!?

That's exactly what I meant by him being pointless signing. After we got RVP he had no place in our setup except to be thrown on the flanks.
 
Miki looks rather lost on the pitch at the moment, and is a misfit to the team. Mourinho will have to get ruthless again and bench him until he is ready. He contributed close to nothing for several games now.
 
You just knew he was going to play like that again. His form has gone to shit and he never plays well in big games, yet Mourinho keeps starting him. I guess it tells you how highly he rates Lingard
 
God he has been utter garbage for a good few weeks now. Think he needs a spell out the team, would prefer Lingard there at the moment.
 
He needs to be replaced from the first team for a little while, and we should try our hardest to get Ozil in January so we can swap the two everynow and again
 
If not for this guy’s assists at the start of the season United would now be somewhere 7/8th.

Funny how some players get let off the hook and are equally as shite and others are the scapegoats.

Ozil. Really. Arguably even weaker than Mkhi.

Where was Ozil yesterday? He is good at looking good against average teams, but when push comes to shove, he is nowhere to be seen.

.

Are you smooking weed, mate ?

Weaker than Miki, my ass. Chelsea midfielders consist of bakayoko, fabregas, and Kante.

2 of them rely only in physicality. While Fabregas is slow as feck. If we have Ozil, Fabregas wont be spread around passinf like Xavi Hernandez.

Mkhi should contain Fabregas, while Matic handled Bakayoko and Herrera handled Kante. That was the real plan.

But feck me, pathetic play again from him.
 
he needs dropping for mata for his own good at the moment. Cant see jose sticking with him with performances like this recently
 
For United's sake he needs to be dropped. Bring him on as a sub when the game is stretched. Play Fellaini as no. 10, our teams main attacking strategy is hoofing the ball, might as well play players suited to it. Then rectify this problem next summer. It seems even Griezmann is pretty fragile so we need our scouts to do their job and get a proper no. 10.
