We looked good, We should have won, We had a lot of the ball, We had 20 shots, We spent this we spent That,
No good these things if we can't beat, Leicester or burnley at home simply not good enough, We can blame the manager the grump, where Is the Jose who first came to England, he doesn't care about Manchester United, all that he cares about Is his big ego and his pride,
If we don't get at least 2 players in January we will struggle with top 4,a matter of time before Liverpool go above us,
Players got to know how to kill off a game in a big club on big money professional athletes
When is the last time we had a captain that was a leader that got in to other players for slacking, vidic or Ferdinand are the last decent captains I can think of, who did we replace them with, who did we replace Ronaldo with, a rb. when is the last time we had a world class midfield, . we have bought a fair load of donkeys and we would at least need to hit rid of 5 or 6 more.
Perisic should have been bought in early last summer.
27 Dec 2017 16:25:38
We drew 2 games we should have won, created loads of chances in both and played pretty well I thought. No need to panic or overreact, hopefully pull their finger out on Saturday and bang a few in against Southampton.
27 Dec 2017 16:59:32
When was the last time we had a world class midfielder? We broke the world transfer record on the next superstar .
Perisic might of done ok but he might of been pretty average as well . Who else had high hopes for Miki.
We are doing ok with out playing well with out really hitting top gear .
It's up to Jose and the squad to pick it up and push on second half of the season .
27 Dec 2017 18:07:19
It's up to the players now at this stage to do the business. We can turn around and blame Jose, LVG, Moyes but ultimately the buck stops with the players. I'm fed up of hearing managers being criticised every time we drop points. This has been going on for years, substandard games, games we should be winning with the squad we have. Players are the issue here, some are just not good enough, not all in talent but more so in hunger and desire.
Jesse Lingard has more hunger and passion in his little finger than most of our squad and he has been slated on here and in chat. For me he needs to start every game.
27 Dec 2017 18:26:37
Jred we paid the big money for the world class midfielder but I don't see world class coming through from the player.
27 Dec 2017 18:34:11
GDS. Give it a break mate. We're seriously underperforming. I'm all for some posters being positive, but this is total rubbish.
Angelred, you've hit the nail on the head re Lingard. I said the same to other United friends today.
We have so many players with no passion. Players not celebrating, martial and Lukaku. Players showboating, pogba. Players who are indifferent, smelling, Shaw, mkhytarian. It's getting to the point where a lot of my fellow United fans can't be bothered. It's sad.
27 Dec 2017 18:41:41
Leahy,
Look closely then, the guy oozes it.
27 Dec 2017 18:48:52
Gds2 Bang average for the money, if you paid that money for a horse you would want him winning every week.
27 Dec 2017 18:49:57
Gds Created loads of chances was true for Leicester not for Burnley or Bristol.
27 Dec 2017 18:50:00
I'm just so sick and tired of hearing the manager needs to do this, needs to do that. Ultimately the players and only the players can change this. It has been going on for years this substandard level of playing.
27 Dec 2017 18:51:36
God, I see plenty of it in pogba, I feel at times he is playing too deep go get the best out of him but his class is evident. Maybe fans expect him to hit different heights. But for me is head and shoulders above most of that squad. It's the players around him that need to kick up their backsides.
27 Dec 2017 18:59:31
I'll be honest I never expected to see lingard doing the things he is now he has been nothing short of sensational add to that the obvious genuine love he has for the club, the way he seems to constantly laughing and joking and bringing a bit of light relief to the players I'm proud he plays for us and I'm made up for him atm long may it continue.
27 Dec 2017 19:10:35
Manager takes the glory he should take the flak. Ultimately the players are accountable to the manager, they train how he wants them to, they play how he wants them to. If they are not psychologically ready, or don't perform, it is because the manager has not prepared them properly or is asking them to do things they are not comfortable doing.
He should drop players that don't perform, buy better players for his specific system, train players on their failings. He is paid to do this, otherwise what is a manager for?
Players perform erratically, 3 weeks ago Pogba was the difference maker on here and we would have beaten City with him available. All of a sudden people are realising he isn't as good as they were making out - if they can admit it - how many games has he been the difference maker since he signed? Like most of our players they have a very good game every so often and that justifies several nothing games to some of our fans.
Playing for Utd should mean they perform very well week in week out, not once a month! That goes for our manager as well, who scrambled through last season and is dropping the ball this season.
27 Dec 2017 19:19:51
Pogba will only live up to expectation when lazer beems shoot from his eyes.
Agree totally with Jesse comments, although I felt he had a bad game against city - needed him to drop back into midfield a bit more because we were struggling in there. His arsenal performance was sensational, yesterday if he had put that sitter away yesterday instead of hitting the keepers face and the bar twice we would have been lauding his second half performance as perfect.
27 Dec 2017 20:24:04
Shock, Beast says the manager is at fault again. “Playing for Utd should mean they perform very well week In week outâ€. I recall us losing 5.0 to Newcastle and I think days later we then lost 6.3 to Southampton, well I think I recall it because under SAF these things never happened, players played very well week in and week out. Perhaps SAF didn’t prepare them properly or asked them to do things they were not comfortable doing.
27 Dec 2017 20:49:26
If city had this many points in any season under Fergie we would be over 10 behind them. Some would have been calling for Fergie out i’m guessing.
27 Dec 2017 21:01:16
GDS2
Yes, it seems there is no realism in where we are now. Imagine if social media had been around in 1990,what was it, “3 years of excuses and still c#ap, Tara Fergieâ€, Beast would have been posting that multiple times a day.
27 Dec 2017 22:23:19
Gds, remember many did call for fergies head on more than one occasion!
28 Dec 2017 09:49:34
Good point, thank god the club never listened to the moaners back then, we wouldn’t be complaining at being 2nd now if that had happened, would probably be our best position for 30 years.
I’m talking rubbish though by suggesting it’s just a bad patch and not overreacting and embarrassingly calling for a manager change so maybe I shouldn’t bother.
