Simply, Michael Carrick was a coward last night. He set us up using Steve Holland “Southgate” tactics, slow slow slow don’t lose the ball, at home against a lively relegation candidate. Shocking! Team selection negative with Ugarte, lack of drive after a supposed important camp in Ireland. Then Carrick dithered. There should have been subs when we went 2 down; he hesitated. Half time he dithered. Second half he didn’t know what to do, rabbit in the headlights.
How the same team came out second half was beyond me. Boro manager level doesn’t cut it at Utd, so don’t anyone tell me he should get the perm role. If the club have anything gumption, Steve Holland is gone this morning.
One good thing was that maybe, if SJR and Co have anything about them, is to realise they were seeing how Southgate United would look with Steve Holland in the background and run a mile.

I was absolutely appalled at what I saw last night, and for the first time in my life, I gave up on a United game before the end. Actually, I gave up at halftime. I've left the live chat here a couple of times due to some 'children' behaving like nobs, but never left a game. And I've been a lifelong supporter and was travelling the country, home and away, before and during the relegation seasons.
To play walkball like that is beyond criminal, and insults our fan base.
A proper slap in the face to those who fund their wages!
We are at home against Leeds of all teams, and walking about as though we don't care. Does this group not understand the feelings of our supporters with regard to Leeds? We are walking about and getting battered at home by relegation fodder, and G Neville says in commentary, "United have to weather the storm here". Really? Disgraceful performance and attitude by the players and coaches.
UCL football? You're having a laugh!

Shocking performance. Leeds deserved the win.
But got to feel for Paul Tierney's wife if that's considered hair pulling.

Nothing like an overreaction to a defeat, hey, lads.

GDS, read the posts! Not all about 'the defeat' but the attitude and lack of any fire. If you think it's ok to lose in that manner, then you need to give your head a wobble.

A couple of 1000-word essays incoming!

It's not overreaction to comment on managerial incompetence in tactical set-up, motivation, team selection, and lack of in-game management. Shocking and totally unacceptable last night.

It was very poor last night, but Red Man, you are over reacting. Fizz, I would say you're over reacting, but it's pretty standard stuff from you at this stage. ?
We are currently third. Carrick has lost 2 games in his tenure. He has done incredibly well given where we were at the start of his tenure and how we had played the 18 months prior to him taking over.
Let's see where we are at the end of the season, or even how we react v Chelsea at the weekend. Lots to play for.
I would've snapped your hand off a few months ago if you told me we would be sitting third with a few games to go.

Angel, I couldn't care less what you think. Talking "standard stuff", your post is so very predictable. (no laughy cop out).

Yet here you are replying, and then giving your opinion (sigh). You seem really angry or upset for some reason. My words always seem to trigger you. It's only footballing opinions, come on, Fizz.
It's all very OTT above. Let's see where we are in a few weeks. Big game against Chelsea at the weekend, and hopefully we can get back on track. Carrick has done an incredible job so far.
