Pogba to the u23s. Zlatan retire. Sell goggs sack fergie

I'm done. Bunch of tosspots.

Howe can take his merry band of generic thugs back to league fecking 2 and go do one.

Twats.
Amen.
 
Horrible second half. Van Gaalesque.

I said it about twenty minutes into the first half it was going to be one of those days. Just not taking our chances.

I think as well in the second half we thought it would be easy against ten men so we did not try as hard.

Paul Pogba as well was very poor.
 
Where are the people that wanted Herrera replaced because he doesn't compliment Pogba :lol:

Bottlers. Not a single fighter on the pitch. We desperately need a top striker and Martial needs to be fined for that joke of a 2nd half
 
Absolutely hate this team. How can you play so shit against 10 men? Bournemouth are having a stinker of a run and our lot turn up and put in that kind of performance. Beyond pathetic that was. Ibra's head was somewhere else today. Mata should've taken then pen. Pogba is an absolute bellend.
 
Zlatan should have been taken off when we made the subs. No way should he have been taking that penalty with all he'd done in the game.

Ref was woeful.
 
Enjoy the EL guys you are in it for the long run..

Zlatan really off his game we dont score.
Pogba worst player on the park. Ref shit..

Not good enough.
 
Deduct a years sallary for that pile of fecking garbage. Every player should be out there right now apologizing to the people that spend their money watching this shit
 
Shaking with rage here......Pogba above all people has to take a long hard look at his performances. Too many flicks and tricks and prancing about the pitch and nowhere near enough quality when it really matters. Disgraceful.
Not gonna criticise Ibra for the penalty miss, he's got plenty of credit in the bank but Pogba is becoming a liability.
 
Embarassing. But this team never had it in them. We've seen it time and time again this season.

Once Ibra isnt scoring, we are fecked. He had a terrible match today. Missing a penalty.

The rest of the team were so fecking terrible in front of goal. Honestly, Wayne Rooney should never start another match again. Never. Provides absolutely feck all and has no clue how to find the back of the net anymore.

Martial cant put in a decent cross. Mata is too slow.

Honestly, Mkhitaryan made such a big difference to our play.

Gutted and top four is gone. It really is. I dont care if we win against chelski or rostov. We just dont have the bottle to do it at Old Trafford.

Changes need to be made in the summer. Out with the underachievers like Mata, Rooney, Fellaini.

Its just such poor poor mentality and finishing against a woeful bournemouth side who we should have swept away in the first 20 minutes.

Not sure why you're singling out Mata. He was good.
 
Just a terrible, terrible second half.

Mourinho, Pogba and Ibrahimovic have utterly underperformed here. For the first 20 minutes of the second half we had no shape, no cohesion and no composure. Jose brings on Lingard, Fellaini and Rashford all at once and somehow, somehow makes it worse.

For a guy who sells himself as a big name player, Paul Pogba is in danger of developing a reputation as a fella who can't handle the big occasions. When the pressure is on he looks far to easily rattled.

A bit of calm and cop on in that second half, and suddenly the top 4 was in our own hands. This feels almost as frustrating as that West Ham match last season.
 
Should have been 3 more red cards, and atleast 10-12 minutes injury time, 5 is just bullshit.
Worst ref performance I've seen.
Can these guys even shoot? We must have the worst finishers in the league.
 
Glass half full and that, we are still unbeaten and believe me this team doesn't want to be in the champions league, we would be embarrased by any of the big teams in it.

I would prefer no european football next season, I don't want to just be a team making up the numbers in the champions league, if we are in it we have to be amongst the favorites or its pointless. Just ask Arsenal and Tottenham.
 
I'm tired. I'm just sick and tired of this squad.
We've had a thousand chances to break into the too four, but they bottle it each and every time.

That's the rest of my weekend spoiled then.
 
Lack of leadership on the pitch, squandered a shit load of chances, and Phil Jones. Only good thing I saw was Shaw coming through a few crunching tackles in one piece.
 
A shockingly bad second half. Mourinho seemed tactically clueless about how to utilise a man advantage and instead made the least effective triple substitution in history. The majority of the players didn't even try whilst Ibrahimovic and Pogba seemed to be having a private contest about who could be the most inept.

First half was good.
 
Absolutely disgraceful second half performance. We bottled it in utterly embarassing fashion after deciding at 1-0 that 20 minutes of football was enough for us.

We're going to finish sixth because we are not a very good team. Our only hope of CL football is the Europa League. It looks like we won't be a serious competitor in England for a while.
 
Thought we'd have some character and fight, especially after the cup win and that cnut trying to take off Zlatan's head, but that was a fecking whimper. We don't deserve top four when we can't beat shite at home. It's not even bad luck, we have no balls.
 
What a complete shit show. When Zlatan is bad, he is worse than useless. We would probably do better in the second half if he had gotten sent off. Pogba was slightly better, merely useless.

This is the sort of game that means we don't deserve and won't get top 4 this season. We have the hardest run of fixtures left of all the top 6 teams, and yet we can't beat Bournemouth, at home, with a man advantage for half the game. They were gifting us chances in the first half, not to mention a penalty in the second, and we still couldn't find anything. If we don't win the Europa League and get CL that way, this season will have been a failure. Never mind the League Cup.
 
Look at how Spurs batter Stoke 4-0 before halftime. Easy as you like.

We dominate possession and struggle to score even one goal.

Today was a disaster.
 
For me, that's our worst result of the season, and the performance is criminal when you think what we had to gain. We should never have dropped points with the way todays game panned out.
 
What's fundamentally wrong is Zlatan's inability to finish the easy chances.

He can do the spectacular, but my god he makes some basic striking look beyond him sometimes.
Yeah, his shooting for the pen and FKs was abysmal. Where the hell is the Ibra who could smash the ball ? He can barely strike with any power these days.
 
Mata was desperately telling them to keep their heads.. No one was listening. Panic stations from 80 mins on. Awful football.
 
The single most disappointing game of the last 4 years. Massive concerns about the strength and mentality of our entire team and Pogba in particular. Not a single positive to be found. We're a 6th place team, as simple as that. We're in 6th place, we rarely, if ever, play better than a 6th place team and regularly play far worse, we don't deserve to be any higher than 6th and it's extremely doubtful we will climb any higher this season.

Where do we go from here? The obvious answer would be: nowhere, we'll just remain where we are, in 6th.
 
Shit game all around. Pogba and Zlatan both abysmal, and you have to question the subs as well - what is the point of Fellaini, when you already have a tall feck in Zlatan on the pitch? Get Herrera on and play some fecking football instead.

The ref, wow. He only sent Surman off because he didn't realise he already booked him. Zlatan and Mings should've been off too, and Arter got TWO final warnings. To top it off, he ends the game by blowing his whistle before the minimum added time had gone by - the least of his feck ups today probably, but I don't understand how that is possible.
 
As soon as Ibra lost his head our whole game crumbled!

I think we'd have been better leaving Shaw and Rooney on and taking Ibra and the Pog off. I think we missed Herrera today ttytt.

I nearly switched off when I saw Fellaini take off his training bib.

Pretty sure there's a clause in Ibra's contract saying he can't be subbed.
 
United's finishing is woeful. Up there with the worst i watch in european football.
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Garbage! What is wrong with this team? Why can't we ever gain points when it's important? Is it so fecking hard to win against a 10-man Bournemouth team, at HOME?!

We don't deserve anything, nothing. We're horrible, we have weak mentality and the most expensive player in the world is shite at the moment. One of the most frustrating, disappointing performances this season. Pathetic. I hope the players get a lot of stick from José and I hope they have trouble sleeping at night because of this draw.
 
Not a coincidence any more, too many of these matches at home against weak opposition when we have a chance to make up ground on top 4 rivals have ended like this.

I don't agree that "we created enough to win the match", after the first 25 minutes where it was like a basketball match we created feck all. And it's not the first time we create feck all against a team that decides to defend deep against us. Whether it's just complacency or lack of creativity, we have a problem, and we won't be doing anything in the league until we sort it out.
 
Exactly the word for it is bottling it. Taking off Carrick made no sense. He was one of the players who looked like could unlock their defense but yeah Lingard will do that. Also going fecking long when they have their entire fecking team defending made no sense. Feck off Mou.
 
Let Ibra take his 2 year contract, shove it up his arse and go retire in China.
