I don't see us winning this no matter what we do..
It looks like the whole world have conspired against us lately.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Januzaj should've came on instead of Welbeck.
He really hasnt. Offensively he brings nothing to our team.
The problem is fundamental. It's not down to one or two players, midfield etc. It's the way we play football. We aren't playing football.
Worse case scenario, we lose, Liverpool win and Champions League will be gone. Its vital we win this, he has to go hell for leather in the second half, it doesn't matter if we lose by 5, we have to win.
Its that simple, I think that's why Fletcher didn't come on, in case we need 3 forwards

Carrick is always guaranteed to make one awful mistake a game. Normally it's a terrible backpass that the opposing team fails to capitalize on though.
He would get broke up.
Welbeck coming as a sub is incredibly baffling as well, shifting Rooney in midfield.. I really don't understand Moyes teams/strategies/tactics and especially subs.
Mike Phelan looks like he hasnt washed or shaved since he got the boot.
Moyes is a bit of a Jonah at the minute isnt he
Well I can immediately think of one instance when Arnautovic (?) was breaking through midfield and Carrick got back ahead of him and cleaned up wonderfully well. Don't let one incident dictate your entire opinion of a player. He's essential to our team for crying out loud.
I have to agree. I don't know a single non-United supporter who rates him. Now that we have a player like Mata (assuming Moyes doesn't try to play him wide on a regular basis), it'll be clear to see just how below-par Carrick really is.
Looks bad. Surely out for weeks.
But in that case it would have been really difficult to play 4-4-2. And one of clauses in Moyes contract is to play 4-4-2 all the time.
The weather really affected all proceedings but still, Adnan should have come on for jones. We look so much better with him playing, and he takes a shot whenever he can. We needed to shoot from outside the box as much as possible with wind from behind.
Nah, is he feck. He's been all over, on the left, through the middle, cutting in etc..to say we are playing a rigid 4-4-2 is wrong mate.
He doesn't. It's one thing to throw your arms up, it's another thing to keep hassling the ref long after. There's no reason to do it even if you were right.
He's not supposed to...
Can't believe the old Carrick insults are coming out because a ball deflected in off his leg. Seriously, the matchday threaders outdo themselves every week
We had 3 CB starting to be fair, with Rafael on the bench, whats the chances of both CB's getting injured?
Would help them if both Rooney/RVP weren't constantly so high up the pitch. It's not like it's the first time we've struggled when the gap is so big, they could do better but we could set up better to recognise the shortfalls we do have there
So, will we win?
A midfield would fecking help though.
I sure hope so, but I'm afraid I'm not seeing where the spark is going to come from, and our balance got affected by the injures .
Maybe they'll score a couple of dodgy own goals too, that would be nice.
poor lad...at least Vidic is back next game.
I think Mata on the right is working well. He's drifting in as you'd expect but I think he's played OK. I think we did well in the first half in difficult conditions. We were just unlucky. The only thing I'd criticise Moyes for is bringing on Welbeck instead of Fletcher. I don't see how Welbeck is going to help improve us here, but I could've seen Fletch having a positive influence on the midfield area.
No.
Moyes must have pissed off some witch or something in July
get the feck out of the match day thread scouser
Jones is probably a concussion
What, to watch our best prospect be carried off as well? This lot are a bunch of inbred thugs.
Not sure I have the strength to watch the 2nd half. Its going to be atrocious and soul crushing. I can feel it.
He's been underwhelming all season when played. Nothing to do with his deflected ball. He fecks up easy passes and feck me of course he is supposed to do somthing offensively in a freaking 4-4-2. We can't afford to have a midfielder doing feck all going forwad in that system.He's not supposed to...

We are just rubbish at playing any form of sustained attacking football, of course we are having bad luck but I just wish our players would show somewhere near there potential, I don't see us getting back into this we have some of the worlds best attacking players and they just can't seem to click.
Carrick is the new scapegoat?
Valencia will be delighted with this.
I do agree at times he can be overrated but he was one of our best last season

Christ, Carroll was unlucky to get sent off.
Why does that make me mental? Am I not allowed to say what I think? I was happy with how we were playing until all that bad luck kicked in.
I cannot see us not conceding again with only 1 centre half on the pitch, 2 small full backs, and that fat feck Adam sticking countless corners into our box in the 2nd half. And we were hardly looking lethal at the other end were we. I want and hope for us to win, but that's my opinion judging by the way our season has been going
I don't have a problem with Welbeck coming on. Had it been Fletcher then we would be left with only 1 attacking substitution to make later in the game if needed. More physical and hard working than Januzaj, and in better form than Hernandez.
True, the days of the static, sitting, passer slowly died over the last few years - everyone figured out how to counter it, just press, cut out the options and get the ball. Worked as long as teams were scared of us on the counter, or when Carrick was on white-hot form.
Is he in the stands??
Does anyone here seriously think we won't score a goal or two against these jokers? I'm still confident of three points.
