The Manchester United Thread

We played well in the first 15 - 20 minutes. Get over it Joel. When we're 3-0 down it doesn't make me feel any better about anything.

Pretty sure I haven't said anything relevant to what you just said.
 
Ahh, so when our homegrown player finally finds form and fulfils his potential, we'll criticise him for the past and not look to his future. Christ on a bike.

Can't believe it took Ronaldo as long as he did to start firing the goals in, the useless ****.

I'm not really blaming Welbeck, but the last 6 games hardly enhances his reputation as a lethal finisher. It's a shame that we have to rely on him in today's game.

He's got 8 in 15 appearances despite starting 4 from the bench, 3 on the left wing and 2 as an AMC, with a conversion rate of 25%. That's actually good.
 
Why? Should I be a passenger and accept the current situation and be positive about nothing? It's people like you who makes the Glazers feel comfortable.
If you can't find anything positive from this game than you're blind. Sorry for calling you an idiot.

I'm not bothered about calling me an idiot. It's hardly the worst of names. We have shown glimpses of a good performance against a team who have actually played very average themselves today, which is worrying. We're falling even more behind in the quest for top 4 and a glimpse of a good performance in a small spell of the game against an average performance from a good team (not great) isn't making me think positive at all to be honest.

You have to take look at this team. We lack 2 of our best players. We created some chances which RVP or Rooney would score. We should've had pen, Chelsea scored lucky goal for 1-0. It's not ideal, but it's far from emergency. We are missing something in defense, some imposing figure like Vidic was couple years ago. Smalling could do Rio, but we need Vidic. Evans is solid, consistent defender, but he's not that good. I see Jones as a midfielder nowdays, I think it suits him better. We lack cover in midfield, well, good-enough cover that is. However, it's hard to bring great players in January.

Chelsea team, and pretty much Mou's any team, is defensively solid, trying to brake opps on counterattacks. However, we have restricted them from dominating midfield, which is amazing when you take a look at their midfield. Chelsea team is a lot stronger than this United team. Even with Rooney and RVP we would be on pair. It's tough, but this United team isn't good enough. Key players got older, many of them picked up injuries. Be patient. And again, sorry for that, I can be ***** sometimes, trying to get rid of it.

Anyway, Vidic got red, Torres I assume?
 
Honestly if it's was Fergie's United that had scored while we were 3-0 up, I would have been very worried. But I really wasn't when they scored ... Apart from a couple of players, no one looked up for the comeback. Valencia was one of those whose attitude just wasn't up to par

If Rooney and RVP were fit I would have been tbh. vidic should have had yellow. Rafael should be ashamed of himself, very lucky 100% red.

But the attitude of the players Mike. Wasn't this the same team that came back from 3-0 down at the Bridge a couple of seasons ago? Just go watch that game again and then watch this and you will be shocked. Only Hernandez looked like he wanted to get something out of the game

Last season, driven on by sheer quality. Which we didn't have today.

RVP and Rooney would have driven it along with Hernandez
 
Depressing stuff today again. Or maybe not cos I expected us to lose by 3-0 and we at least managed to score once.

Chelski were not great. But they were very organised and seemed to have a plan and know how to execute it. We on the other hand were our usual selves under Moyes. Holding the ball passing it around pointlessly but no intensity no real rhythm nothing.

We are barely going to make top six like this nevermind top four ...

Hmm agreed. Still feel some of the United players need to go take a look at themselves ... A few just couldn't be bothered either way

Thought United started really well. We were quite lucky to score so early tbh ... Totally came against the run of play. Defending for our second and third goals was atrocious though: how in the world does Gary Cahill get a free header so close to the goal? He must be thanking his lucky stars
 
Can anyone explain why Kagawa didn't start today? He had a great game last week especially in the second half and deserved a chance. Ashley Young shouldn't of played.

Young actually played quite well to be honest. Given his form before injury, deserved his too.
 
You know he might not have intented to take the job, but knowing Jose he would have liked to be Fergie's chosen successor only to publicly turn the job down. Jose loves the press as he can manipulate it easily.

You may actually be all wrong. Strong noises in Portugal since he left Chelski culminating in Mou's last season at Real were saying he really wanted the UTD position. He felt he's done it all won the CL, the league in two different countries the only thing left was longevity at a big club with a culture of patience so that he has the chance to leave a legacy and compare to SAF and then to end his career as the manager of Portugal. He was even rumoured to be very disappointed and shocked (arrogant ****** that he is) that he wasnt even considered.

To be honest, if Ferguson had a chance to get Mourinho, why in the world would he pick Moyes instead? Fergie may be many things but he certainly isn't a moron
