Going to be a very emotional Old Trafford tonight. Tears will be shed. I will be watching on TV and will likely have very 'gritty' eyes.
I hope the players really put a shift in. If any of those that are prone to giving up and sulking when the going gets tough do so tonight of all nights then I hope their shame sees them out the door and gone.
Please, do it for Sir Bobby.

Couldn't agree more. if a few do, it's the end for them.

Good post Fizz.

Exactly. If they can’t do it tonight then when? Going to be very emotional for everyone. Like the other busby babes he will never die and his legacy will live on forever. I know the club will pay sir Bobby a fitting tribute and I hope the players will also.

Watching TNT. 10 minutes in, Rio and Scholes talking Sir Bobby and gritty eyes already. Come on United, do it for the man please.

Just home. It was a very weird atmosphere. You couldn’t say Rashford looked interested one bit, the crowd turned on him a little for the first time. A very strange performance but it got the job done, and at least we didn’t concede within 5 minutes of scoring.

Its a shame if that what the fans are doing. The best chances in the game fell to Garnacho and Hoiland and both of them and their final touch let them down. Don't get the obsession with hating Rashford.
WE make it hard on ourselves atm by not taking our chances and everyone is guilty of that but seems we like to blame Rashford for everything.
We keep this up he will probably push for a move and get fed up with the toxicity.

I'm getting more frustrated with Rashford as each game goes by.
25 Oct 2023 09:31:29
Wazza it came across as very subdued last night on TV.
How could it have been any other way.
The pace was pedestrian until garnacho came on.
Anthony Bruno and rashford were all appalling imo.
I have understood eth trying g to play them back into some sort of form but to be honest they do not look like they are getting any better or cohesive.
Again there are some excuses. Again. playing without 3 of his preferred back 4.
Personally it's all about results for me just now. We have scraped through the last 3 with wins but it's a tough watch for sure.

Ahmad, it has nothing whatever to do with "hating" or "blaming everything on Rashford". It's constructive criticism. You need to wake up and recognise that or it's you with the problem, not those of us that see his shortcomings! You surely cannot claim he's in good form now.

I left the live chat yesterday after 5 minutes because you guys are tuning in to vent and moan and are so determined to slag players even before the game starts. If people don't believe me go pull it up.
A few off you and I don't need to mention people by name, live here just to vent, everything in your world is wrong with united.
you are tuning in just to look for validation to prove your point.
You live in the United 2008 era and can't come to terms with where we are atm.
The best guilt edge chances fell to Garnacho last night and he missed both.
Its always about short coming in your heads, wrong selection, wrong this, wrong that, no heart, no fight blah blah blah and I can go on.
It does not matter what players like rash do, you have already made up your mind. I am glad no one at the club agrees with you as I think its a pattern, where each week one player or another gets it.
I know we are not playing great and its a struggle atm but will not be in the camp of constant negative loop around my club.
Even if we finish 8th this year I look at it as a process and growing pain that comes with change. You can call me deluded and that's okay with me.
25 Oct 2023 11:02:41
Ahmad you best read that post of yours again. Then give your head a wobble and stop writing utter rubbish.
BTW we're talking Rashford not Garnacho so no idea why you keep mentioning him. I say again, if you think that Rashford is in good form at this moment in time then, in the words of Roy Keane, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.
25 Oct 2023 11:05:00
Great Post ahmad you are bang on with that imo.

You are a negative nelly. We won a game in the most crazy ending you can imagine.
The day starts with people posting who was rubbish and who should be dropped. How selection was wrong, how attitude was wrong, its just a negative loop over and over.
" hope the players really put a shift in. If any of those that are prone to giving up and sulking when the going gets tough do so tonight of all nights then I hope their shame sees them out the door and gone"
That's your statement and mindset before the game even started. now call me wobble head or whatever you want but your head is stuck in negativity. you basically think they are lazy and have no pride and go out there and play poorly for a lack of desire or effort. I have to disagree on all those assumptions. They are usting a gut but its not happening atm for us.
I expect nothing different come city game where we will have to be compact and no Champaign football for large periods of the game and try scratch out a result. If we win I could care less how we won. Take the points and move on.
I will leave it to you to tell us who needs to be dropped and who is poor afterwards and whose attitude sucked.

Don't leave it to fizz ahmad for the love of god.
He'd be worse than the worst manager ever from worst land.
