Nice to see us get smashed by our rivals again. How many batterings will we add to the collection this season?

Is there any other side that gets battered as often as United in the last 3-4 years? City, Liverpool, Villa, Newcastle, Spurs, Brentford, Brighton, Watford, Leicester. We've had it bad.

It’s clearly the fault of ETH now and before he joined. We have to focus all our anger on our manager cause thats worked for us in the past… For about 10 games….
 
Fans are used to it, players are used to it. Nothing changes

Well there are quite a few. But they're usually the Villa Burnley, Everton Luton types.
 
It’s very simple. When City lose, you have 4/5 people (not including Pep’s high standards) on top of Pep who will raise questions about the performance.

With United? It will be Arnold consoling Ten Haag. He won’t be questioning ETH’s substitutions or ways of play. Rather than stopping the rot, they will just wait until we miss out on top 4.

This is Man Utd, the team and hierarchy live in a bubble with no accountability from top to down.
 
To be honest, it doesn't even bother me anymore. Which is sad
 
On the plus side it's happened so often now I've become desensitised to it, so it now longer negatively affects my mood for days

It's the performances, we are just so far off the level

I'm not even bothered by today's result that much. What depresses me just how far ahead of us they are. Feels like we're a midtable team when playing against them, trying to nick a goal on the counter somehow and that's as far as we can go.
 
I miss some of the games to having young kids but I'm numb to it now. Watching united has been joyless for a long time
 
What kills me is that even when we were good - remember those days? - we rarely went away to our rivals and just smashed them. Can't recall such a dominant away win at City - or at Anfield - during the Fergie era. Those teams always put up a better fight than this United.

We are a mid table team against the top 6 our record shows that
 
This is United now. Nothing will change until the ownership is out and an actual footballing structure is implemented. I like ETH, but he can't do it by himself and he shouldn't have so much influence in transfers. Our scouting department is a joke; just sign past it big names or players the manager knows. Great. £80M on Antony, yikes.
 
We have players who get battered every year; Shaw, Rashford, Martial, Maguire, Mct, Bruno. Its ok. We tend to offer them new contracts for their amazing attitude!
 
We lose so often now that results such as this don't impact the way they used to. 10 years ago, this would have been shameful. Our lads will probably be out partying tonight or will be meeting up to play Ultimate Team on their Xboxes. We'll find out via Instagram.

Nothing will change for the next game. This lot have no pride. The players don't deserve the fans.
 
@Licha-Vidic had a post about how most of our hammerings have come in the Ole/Ten Hag era. A lot of common denominators in those games too.

Spot on. And this, more than anything, is the biggest indicator of where we are. We are so much worse than the worst of our rivals when we were on top. They ALWAYS put up a massive fight when we came to town. Always.
 
As long as I get a "Sorry to our fans. We will do better with you sticking by our side *flex emoji* *red dot emoji*" Instagram post then I can accept these batterings.

I fecking love an Insta apology.
 
A losing mentality is a hard thing to change.

I wonder genuinely how many players thought they would win today? Not could win or put up a decent effort…actually Win!

I don’t think any of them, possible the new arrivals (Onana/Hojlund)
 
Last season gave some level of optimism and was excited and looking forward to games. This season has been trash and I am dreading matchdays. Defeats don’t impact me as much as they did before as there is already an acceptance, an expectation even.

Even the Everton fan on top here, says how our midfield is easy to bypass. It's soo easy to see where our problem is but people usually act surprised every time we lose.

Up until we move away from a being a transition team especially a Bruno-team we will never win any big game with control. All this battering started when we decided to abandon our midfield play.

We can't sustain being 'a ball over the top' team. Because it's uncoachable.
If a United fan wakes up today from a coma he suffered in 2020, he won't believe ETH and not Ole is our coach and he spent 400m on top.


You need to coach to be an actual team, patterns, cut back, overloads. This can only be achieved by changing our we play and our setup.

Yep, zero fight. Especially once we go behind.

To be honest, we even show 0 fight on the rare occasion we go ahead these days, too.
 
I was so dumbfounded just how utterly awful we were against Wolves first game of the season. I was hoping it was a massive off day but it’s just kept going. What the feck has happened over the summer?

Ever since those Maguire and McTominay moves to West Ham fell through, it’s been a looming nightmare.

Yup, we are yet to play Liverpool and City away. God help us. We got spanked today and there were oles from City fans and it was a fecking home game for us. Pathetic players have no pride at all.

You've only got one note mate.

However the game goes it's always "Bruno makes us transitional so we lost"

Bruno was hardly involved today and wasn't in midfield either. A wide player doesn't dictate a game. He didn't play well individually but this influence you see him having is so overstated.

Today we didn't play like a transitional team or a possession team. Was nothing to do with tactics.

Just a bunch of players who aren't good enough. Physically or technically.

You think if City lost there would be people apbr Pep asking him about the performance? Do you really think that would happen?
