I will avoid rants and try and be constructive. I don't get why Herrera is asked to sit and Fellaini pushed forward, in no reality does that make any sense to me. I'm also not sure, why Ibra keeps. gettign Ickes when he looks completely out of form.
Having said that, the whole team looked lost. Mata looks bright and Rashford never gave up, but apart from that it was pretty horrible. £90M for Pogba currently looks like £80M too much, this is the w Rod most expensive player people.
People have been asking if Jose has lost it, I guess we are absolutely it to find out exactly what he is made of.

Last season for Mourinho was a first, which ever way you look at it, a real failure. For a manager with his glowing record that must have hurt. When you put yourself on such a huge pedestal it's a long long way to fall.
In essence he has taken on a club in a similar position, I said on our page one of the biggest jobs in the world but under the circumstances he's taken over it has to be the biggest job in the world.
He has the tasks of returning you to former glory and the task of rebuilding his reputation, the pressure is huge and clearly seems to be getting to him.
It, from the outside, looks to be on an almost constant knife edge to which way it will fall, he's not getting the answers to the questions he's asking of himself.
Whilst you undoubtedly have talent in the squad, do you have enough. I don't ever recall a United side giving up as they did yesterday. The whole club seems to have lost its identity. Do you think you have a player left who really knows what playing for your club means.
The days when Scholes, Keane, Ferdinand and co crossed the white line knowing they played for United, what it meant and you'd literally have to batter them to get anything from a game. What they would have done to those guys laughing joking and swapping shirts would not make day time tv.

AJH I have just posted that the next 3 games will be make or break for Mr Mourinho in my opinion. Some fans are now claiming a title push was unrealistic this season - that is a false statement because we are capable.
I can't agree with you more on Pogba. I see Felliani getting slaughtered. Smalling mauled. Blind annihilated. Yet where was the most expensive player on the planet? Did he even for one second drag us from the jaws of despair? How about "the legend" Zlatan as he likes be young kids at Carrington to call him? The favouritism shown to certain players on here astonishes me.

In the predictions comp, the majority had us winning it. Just saying.

AJH it would be interesting to know if these are the same folk who will now claim "we are in transition" or "it was unrealistic" to have a go at the title this season because things aren't going so well.
