Really should've won us the game today. Pen aside, he fecked up a great chance in the first half.

Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

As shit as he was today, we're going to miss him when Fellaini is brought on in the last 10 minutes to play up front after Rashford and Martial huff and puff to no avail.
Something needs to change, this just isn't working. We are handed great opportunities to overtake rivals and we just throw it away, it's not even funny anymore. Maybe some pace up front and a player like Rashford who can make runs in behind will change that, here's hoping.
Was just gonna say, how strange we're not seeing Fracture in this thread. But predictably, here you are.
Should have been one of the players to be subbed off. Worst game for us.
We'll find out how we do without him when they ban him for 3 games.

I am no rooney fan but he had more of a positive impact on the game today and when said I'd prefer Rooney, it was based on what I've seen Zlatan cost us this season. There is no question, Jose made the same mistake LVG made, thought rooney was still at the top of his game, hense we have been over reliant on Zlatan.
The goals he's scoring I would expect any half decent forward to score. We witnessed that last season with Rashford when given a run up top. The chances he's missing again i would expect any half decent forward to score. We're creating so many chances but scoring so few goals. So where's the issue?
Rooney got a decent chance today?
Ibra got better much chances than Martial and Pogba( Also, it's not his job to finish) and was extremely complacent in finishing them off. Unprofessional.
So any half decent striker would be the leading scorer in England if he played for us?
Good if he gets the 3 game ban. Needs the rest and we HAVE to find another goal scorer. Good chance for us to see if any of the other guys have the ability to step up
2 great chances. One when Rooney put it on a platter and the miss when Martial put the cross.
Not defending Ibra, he was awful but he wasn't the only one.
Rooney's chance was the one he headed at the start of the game.
Seems that everytime you don't agree with someone's opinion you go and call them out to be nothing more than FIFA players that don't even watch football.
Why is that?
With the chances Zlatan has had I honestly believe so.
You have the right to an opinion but I just disagree.
Ok, so had Kane been our number 9?
I hope it's just a one year contract for Zlatan.
He's had a fantastic season for us but I just can't get excited about his slow and wasteful play. It makes us much more easier to play against and is a big reason why we only win by a goal or two.
Imo we need a dynamic forward that can stretch teams. Balls to Ibra have to be pinpoint as he's not one to make something out of nothing at this stage of his career.

There is a reason why he has never won the CL and the teams went to win it the year he leaves. In one off games with a lot on the cards he tends to bottle it. Last year Man City games came to my mind as well.
Rooney would have been top scorer even if you ask All 3 United. He posted this from just a month ago.
Zlatan is not a clutch player and never was one in his career. His inflated numbers at PSG overrated his legacy because the french league will always be a tinpot league. PSG look a better team in Europe this season and the you can say that about pretty much all of the teams he ended up leaving. He cant lead the line next season. If the club want to reach the top again, he has to be benched next season.
Does anyone have his shot conversion rates at home and away matches? He seems to miss sitters for fun at home but looks super clinical when we don't play at OT.
Possibly, but he's not just a decent striker, he's much more than that. And then we would lose the other qualities that Zlatan brings, like playmaking.
So Zlatan didn't carried Manchester United today but seriously where was the rest of the players... are they disabled or their balls suddenly dropped off ?
Ibra was so bad today Mings decided it was punishable by death.
Not sure why you're bumping this not like I'm denying it. Rooney has fallen off a cliff performance wise and he's been asked to play in about 5 different roles over the last 3 seasons. Given a proper run as a number 9, who knows he may find his feet again. Would I want this.... Hell no but that's where we are squad wise. Jose came in thinking Rooney was still world class. Sadly that's no longer the case and now Zlatan starts every game and never gets subbed.
Zlatans play making isn't exactly a strength, he tends to give possession away pretty often. As for Kane being a half decent forward, I bet he's on half of zlatans wages
I think it's very much worth pointing out when you have a go at Zlatan as wanting Rooney to play over him say quite a lot about you being unfair on Ibra imo. I'm probaby too much pro Ibra but I see you, Fracture, Top as opposite.
I think one thing is clear though and Jose must start to rotate more. Playing him six days after he was almost dead on the pitch is not a wise decision. Also will he have energy left? He will if he's banned but should not need a ban to get him rested.
Distraction.
Lol, how did I miss that post. Obviously Rooney would be on 40 goals by now.
He was pish today and it's about time he was taken off freekicks. He's almost as bad as Depay was at them.
Shame he wasn't able to carry the rest of the side today, but he'll be a big miss.
The chances he's missed at home vs Bournemouth, Stoke and Burnley have cost us bigly. Need Griezmann
More to point out, as you do to me, that he's as much against Ibra like you as I am pro Ibra.
You can squirm, throw a smoke curtain, change subject all you want mate, but it won't change the fact that in a span of a single week, we've got to see his best and his worst game for us.
Yes, Pogba should take them
How is it not a strength when he has created more chances than anyone else in the team? I don't know about wages but Kane is a top top player imo, would love to have him here.
Absolutely and I agree. He was crap today.
And awwww, you won't even bother to tag me properly?
There, was that so difficult? Next season he will be even older and his body will only continue to slow down, if he's to remain our main striker we're ought to get used to games such as this one.
Well we can agree on that.
