Evidently so.
I can understand people getting annoyed at posters who expect us to win every match, even pre-seasons friendlies but if we can't even discuss the bloody performance and how we set up, what are we here for? Cheerleading any old shite?
With Jose still in charge - I am NOT looking forward to next season
- Thread starter RedStarUnited
- Start date

But nobody is doing that though, are they? the concerns that people have didn't originate today, they've always been there.
Going a whole season like that is never gonna happen... Wait.
I’m done with the man. Not just for today’s score line but just the atmosphere he seems to have instilled to the club. If I had a manager who was always complaining and picking fights with players to “get the best out of them” I wouldn’t be asked either. I’m not a big fan of Klopp but you see the banter he has with his players and they want to play for him. I get the idea Pogba and a few others hate listening to Jose speak. Hell I do
Also I bet after the game he’s going to play the whole “well I told the board I need players” card. Oh Do feck off mate

And yet here you are, going bat shit crazy over a friendly. You're reacting to the game mate. Calm down and have a think about it.
What? Explain this to me please. I have no idea what you're even asking. Name a season where there wasnt the odd game that was shit?
It's a bit disingenuous to suggest it's just about this game though. If the football had been good for the last couple of years nobody would be fussed about the reserves playing badly on tour.
It's a culmination of shite football for a couple of seasons and lack of signs of improvement in the style. This is of course not helped by the fact that our 2 bitterest rivals have been loving life under managers who insist on highly entertaining, high quality attacking football at all times. Even in preseason with depleted squads they continue to play nice stuff. We produce that....
What you seem to be missing, probably on purpose, is that all the frustration isn't based on one pre season match. It's been there for most of last season too. A pre season match is relevant when it does nothing to suggest the shite football we play is going to change any time soon.
You're tedious. That's like asking why Leicester didn't repeat their league win.
It’s not comparable to a normal boss as we are only seeing he public, press conference side to him. It seems like the mood within the camp is fairly positive/upbeat which is the most important thing. We have no real idea what’s going on behind the scenes, I find it hard to believe it’s as negative as it is being portrayed.
Yes. Otherwise they wouldn't be flooding this thread now? Or are we to assume it's all just coincidental timing?
Perfectly fine harbouring those opinions. To pretend this game hasnt triggered you is stupid.
"Bat shit?" I'm sitting on the couch watching old episodes of WWF Raw. This is hardly "going bat shit" is it? Please dont exaggerate just because you're so desperate to defend this shower of a performance.
So then why didn't you make these posts yesterday? Or the day before? Why is it you decided to make these posts during and immediately after the game in question?
Yes. Just because the man won titles, it's forgotten.
Terrible football is an exaggeration for me. We had many entertaining games last season.
The lads out there are not good enough or not ready. Arsenal spanked PSG 5-1 with them missing as many players as us. Is Tuchel In trouble too??
People annoyed now are annoyed at the lads on the pitch either not ready or not good enough.
Nice to see this thread getting bumped due to losing a preseason game.
Whilst it's just a friendly it's pretty obvious that our core objective remains to simply win the game in front of us.
We as a club should contain an understanding of a method of football we can count on & play never mind the opponent.
That's how we get better unfortunately not by simply trying to accumulate 11 players with extraordinary work rate to scrape through matches.

Player for player, they have a far superior defence, a stronger more well balanced midfield, and look far more dangerous going forward. They also set up to their strengths, rather than set up to stopping their opponents strengths, like we do. We played McTominay over Pogba against Sevilla for more defensive cover, do you think Tottenham would drop Alli or Erikson for Harry Winks in the same position?
I haven't watched any of the friendlies. I'm going off what I saw last season. I think 2nd was a false position for us, similar to Arsenal in 15/16.
Can guarantee that everyone getting all worked up by the bad result would have also declared the result absolutely meaningless, had we won.
What you seem to be missing is that this thread has been inactive for over 2 months, and in the space of half an hour it's grown by 2 pages. But people aren't reacting to this meaningless training game though, right?
Says the one losing his shit over a pre season game
keep it coming.I'm not annoyed. Im concerned that we will see more of the football we played last season, which wasn't great.
I completely agree with your post.
Says the one losing his shit over a pre season game
You're a glorified troll. Keep it coming.
I just saw a tweet that I think is pretty fair.
Liverpool, Chelsea and City fans are all looking forward to every game. Arsenal have a new lease of life under Emery. Spurs are optimistic under Pochettino. That's mostly accurate of all their fans.
Ours are massively split, and that is never a good sign.

And spending your time in a thread whining about a pre season game where almost the entirety of our first team are on holiday. If it didn't matter to you, what are you doing here exactly?
They must be waiting in the cave, waiting for the right moment to click post in this thread....Now is the time lads! Thread goes up!
I think you miss the point with the Alex Ferguson examples. His default mechanism was to always want his players to express themselves and go for it. It wasnt always amazing football, but 9 times out of 10 that's how we set up. You cant say the same thing about the current manager.
Repeating what I said, epic bantz. Keep the tears coming. Keep pretending you aren't worked up about a pre season friendly.
Can’t draw any comparison from this game to the new season because of who is missing.
Majority tonight won’t be even considered for the first team for Leicester. Bayern is the real test I think with a few more back.
You dont seem to know how this "discussion forum" business works do you? Which is stunning for someone with 17,000 posts. I'll stick my thumb up my arse the next time there's a topic worth discussing them. Thanks for the backseat modding.
Nah it's all a coincidence. We just can't see the bigger picture. This game, a friendly involving almost none of our first team, it's a sign for things to come!
You're kidding right?
I've been fairly critical of Jose's football for a while. It's not just after games.
We're going to get relegated. Watch this space.
Oh I do. I'm allowed to express how utterly ridiculous i feel your reaction is to a pre season game. Maybe you should look it up yourself.
If it stops you from writing absolute nonsense then please don't. I enjoy it too much.
Jose is a toxic, miserable cnut. I can't wait until the day he leaves United and I only hope he doesn't set us back too far on the way out.
Maybe someone should make a new thread titled "with Tuchel still in charge, Bayern fans are not looking forward to next season". Prior to that loss vs Arsenal.
Worth of discussion.
And yet here we are. If it has absolutely nothing to do with this game, then you're telling me it's all just a big coincidence, right? Stop kidding yourself.
Anyone listening to Jose's interview?
Saluted Bailly for playing while injured today. Apparently his ankle is now very swollen (wtf)
Said Valencia's injury was caused by coming back from holiday out of shape and he's angry with Martial for not coming back to America after the birth of the child. Also suggested that he has a lot of players in the squad that he cannot trust or rely on to be fully focused and ready to play.
He may well be completely right in everything he's saying buy it's still got that 3rd season feel to it imo.

Never said you couldnt post your reaction. Find it hilarious how you think I'm overreacting while telling everyone else how they should act. I never realised you were a mod.
