I didn't feel there was nearly that much personally.
There was a fairly long spell, especially in home games where we were playing some really good stuff that should have been rewarded with some absolute goal fests.
For whatever reason we could barely score a goal against anyone though, and saved the drubbings for the cup.

You can't tell me numerous games, like Stoke, West Ham, Burnley just for three shouldn't have been 3,4,5 nillers rather than draws
I'm not saying we were vintage throughout but the pragmatic end to the season erased a lot of the good stuff from people's memories IMO. There's also no doubt putting away more chances would have improved everyone's perception.

No one will pay 60 million for Costa when the whole world already knows he isn't in Conte's plans.

As someone else said, I should have been more worried when Mourinho took over, but I bought into his presser about building a different profile or team at United.
Clearly you should. Jose won't play the type of football you obviously prefer. But as his first season has shown, he will win trophies.

60m :lol:

I would be happy with Costa staying another season there and they going for Llorente as backup.

I doubt it though, think they will sell for less and go for Morata/Belotti.

Replacing Costa with Belotti would be absolutely hilarious.

I dont know, Belotti is young and a bit of a surprise package, had a tremendous season. With Costa you know what you get, good striker but also an unhappy player and an idiot on the field. I would rather them keeping Costa

Remember Ciro Immobile? He was a huge year as well and Dortmund did well to snap him up in late May. Failed the entire season then went to Sevilla and failed there as well. Now he is back in Italy and did well this season.

It's good to see Chelsea make such a hash of things for once. It's stopped all those drones saying why can't we be more like Chelsea..Chelsea always do their deals early and quick etc

First mistake, the whole mess with Costa, second mistake sheer complacency with Lukaku, and now they have the very tricky position of being in a little bit of limbo of how to get a good whack for Costa, without paying top dollar for a quality replacement.

Any talk of Batshuyi is a joke. He's not a front line striker!

That's all United fans value, is it? What a degradation of a great club.

Belotti is better than Immobile, you only need to watch them play. Also they could go for Morata. Either way i want Costa to stay, he isnt happy there. He started on fire and then went very silent after February.

I still don't know what Barca is smoking to run behind this guy.
