Brain dead players
Another set piece disaster
We need strikers / attackers

We need recruitment somehow in January, and there's no point in having Amorim if we don't back him.
 
Shit before the goal, shit before the red. Only bothered to show some urgency in the final 15, albeit lost football and trying to work out attacks as we went along. Terrible organisation defensively and we have 3 good center backs. Wild.
 
Strikers are dependent on the teams they operate within. Our team is shite. Our strikers look absolutely amateur because our TEAM IS SHITE.
 
Dire performance, not one player played above average today at all. Toothless in attack and the sending off just killed it completely.

Very typical United v Wolves performance (except for last season)
 
What an absolute pile of shit. I don’t think we were really ever in it. Bruno getting himself sent off again just absolutely brain dead. We have nothing up front. Absolutely nothing. Hojland and Kirkzee are just not up to the job. They might be young and might be able to improve but this as a base is so, so low.
 
We were bad today, for sure. Probably around the same level as Wolves, it's small margins that make the difference in these scenarios and we should've done better, no excuses. That said, the ref is a huge reason why we lost today, genuinely terrible and inconsistent officiating.
 
First half we were poor. Actually played fairly well after Bruno went. Think he was a bit unlucky. Case should have been on from the start. No complaints. We go on. Amorim is in his process. All is calm, all is bright.
 
No one should be off limits to get gone in January / summer… and I mean no one.

The club is an absolute shambles and the players should be utterly ashamed of themselves taking their salary every month.

I’d actually be embarrassed that people are spending their hard earned cash to come and watch us play if I were a player. Players need to start taking accountability and start paying the ticket money back being paid by supporters.

They can all get flucked!
 
We are running out of excuses. They say you gotta hit the rock bottom before you bounce and healing starts, but where is our bottom? How much more until the bottom?
 
It's really hard to like this squad. We have had some dreadful teams post Fergie, but I cannot shake the feeling that this team is the worst yet.

I really feel for Amorim who comes across as someone with such an ambition to make things right, but also has a task of rebuilding a bridge with matchsticks here.
 
I’m just hoping there’s going to be some sales and acquisitions in January, otherwise this is going to be a slog. Keeping ETH was the kneecapping of this season and I hope the guy who okayed that decision has been axed.

This post says it all
 
Bruno needs to be stripped of the captaincy or sold. Onana can't make the same mistake twice in a week. I'd take a fire sale in January and try youth and whatever we can scrounge from Jim's Brexit emergency fund.

Rubbish post. There is a lot of great talent in the squad. But additions needed, alright, in midfield and wing back positions especially
 
Amorim is no improvement over ten Hag. Please return to a back four. Please. You can do your three at the back thing if and when you have the players for it.

Mainoo and Yoro to be dropped for a couple of months. They can be gradually reintegrated during the Europa League dead rubbers or in games we have already won, but a lengthy spell out first.

Bruno removed as captain. Maguire to replace him.

A striker prioritised in January, a goalkeeper in the summer.

Let's be honest, lads, we are in a relegation dogfight and I would not back us to stay up.
 
Why does everyone else get a new manager bounce apart from us, even Wolves managed to get back to back wins
 
Ask yourself an honest question: are any of these players PL quality? You'd struggle to name 3!

Blaming the tactics and formation but no manager in the world can get a tune out of brain dead, lethargic, ponderous and unskilled team that we have. It'll be terrible for the club and fans but I honestly feel the players deserve relegation, they are certainly playing like they expect it.
 
If I were Ruben, unless I got assurances about funds, I'd be seriously considering walking away before these feckers destroyed my career.

Doesn’t get much worse than this, and don’t tell me this is what happens when you get a new manager with little time on the training ground.

The whole club is pathetic.

We need to stick with Amorim though I think, ship out the garbage players and start again. Yet again,

When have we ever started again? We’ve sold some squad players who were turned into scapegoats, but the players at the forefront of the club are more or less the same.
 
Can we not just feck off FFP and buy a whole new squad? Just take the points deduction. It's basically what Forest did.
 
We're fecked.

We're in financial ruin with nothing to show for it. Our players are varying degrees of putrid filth. It's like comparing vomit to shit deciding what the best XI are.
 
I have a 10 year old son, who's grown up watching United with me. Of course he doesn't watch every game like I do, but he's seen his fair share.
Today he said "I don't want to watch United anymore, they really suck"
And I couldn't agree more.
 
Two of the most ridiculous, moronic goals to concede but it shouldn’t even be surprising at this stage. Also a stupid sending off but again, why are we surprised anymore!?

That being said, I do wonder if this is a bit like the Ralf season where a chunk of the squad know they’re leaving the club soon and have checked out.
 
We are shit and I feel sorry for the manager. If I was him I would apply for his old job
 
We have got worst in terms of end result, since changing manager.

We’ve gone from joint 3rd best defensive record, based on goals conceded, to leaking goals for fun.
No improvement in the scoring department either.

The next 2 fixtures have got defeat, written all over them.
