The old Man Utd Thread

[Seanfl9]

God the squad depth blows. Can we have another transfer window? 

[spork]

BANGER

[Seanfl9]

Christ. That was a hell of a hit. 

[5R7]

Dan james, what a signing he has been!

[dizogg]

Yeah James looks like a real player. Can’t help think he’s benefitting a bit from the unknown factor right now though, if he keeps scoring at this rate defenders will start to work him out. But that can only benefit your other attackers in the long run.

 

Also hard to “work out” how fucking rapid he is!

[Seanfl9]

Rashfords miss with that bodged header makes me want to see Zlatan back. Fair enough it was offside but I just want to see a ruthlessness in front of goal. 

[Gabzy]

Not just James’ attacking prowess, he’s all over the pitch and defending like a pro. Love him and his dedication. A few of them could learn a thing or two from the 21 year old!

[JPL]

God, we’re so shit.

[5R7]

lindelof cant fucking jump!? thats twice in two games hes been beaten in the air leading to goals!...and we let smalling go on loan...who can jump...

[Gabzy]

That Vestergard is some defender. Rock solid.

[Seanfl9]

It really will be a good battle for 6th this season. 

[feltmonkey]

Oh here comes Lingard to save the day. 

 

They said on the Football Ramble that Adam Johnson has more assists in the last six years than Lingard, and he's been in prison for three of those. 

[5R7]

on the other side, James has got as many goals in 3 games as sanchez did in his entire time there lol

One that we’ll be able to watch from the bottom of the league.

Now that we have improved our defense with Bissaka and Maguire, Lindelof has become the weakest link. He never wins in the air and he never tackles. 

[Seanfl9]

Can we not ask Rio to quit BT and lace up his boots? He keeps quite fit these days...

[feltmonkey]

Gah, the decision making in the final third is atrocious. 

[Gabzy]

Yep, Lingard keeps shooting trying to be the hero instead of passing it to the better options. Infuriating!

[feltmonkey]

I hate to say it but Fellaini would have headed one of these Dan James crosses in. 

[5R7]

lukaku probably would have as well...

[feltmonkey]

Nah, he would have been watching from the penalty spot. He never seemed able to attack a cross. Zlatan would have had three or four. 

[JPL]

Season over already!

[feltmonkey]

Dunno about that. This is a poor run, but this team is a work in progress.

I just can’t see it getting any better. There is no depth to the squad and we don’t seem to have a plan B. I honestly can’t see us even getting anywhere near the top 4 this season.

Indeed, but its easy to forget when he get lousy results. 

[5R7]

we could get better, by playing 433, and letting pogba actually play!

[Stevie]

I'm having a hard time being patient, but it helps to remember that City lost to Everton when Pep was the new manager. They lost 4-0. So Rome wasn't built in a day. We just have to endure. 

[fat flatulent git]

And United lost 4-0 to Everton when Ole was the newish manager.

[dizogg]

And Pep masterminded all conquering Barcelona and Bayern Munich teams. Ole’s last high profile job involved getting relegated and sacked by Cardiff.

I think we’ll have to endure this shit for a very long time though. Our transfer business was slow and nowhere near enough players were brought in and we’re still no nearer to getting a technical director in place. Ole will probably be sacked if this form continues and then we’ll bring in another manager who’ll have a completely different approach. I also don’t think our squad is anywhere near good enough. We need better players all over the pitch. If you believe the clowns who own the club really give enough of a shit to get us out of this mess, then you’re far more optimistic than me.
