Can someone tell me how Bayern in their FIRST game back look so much better than Man utd in closing down and sharpness?

What the hell does Mourinho do with the players? It's so pathetic that I feel sick. Closed the stream.

How does he explain what we see when every other manager in top of the top 3 leagues play energetic and entertaining football?

I can't wait until he leaves.
Preseason, ever heard of it?

Yeah, our players are knackered. Just take a look at the amount of minutes the likes of Sanchez, Mata, Herrera and Peirera have racked up. It's not a hard one to figure out.
Oh please. This is not the first time, this has been going on for two season now. It's as if it's a shock for most of you and won't happen again.

We see this week and week out. Pathetic.

If you press us, we will crumble. Not a new thing, happened multiple times last season in games it shouldn’t have (Newcastle and Brighton away, for example). There is simply nothing left to fear for opponents when they face us. That was built over decades with Fergie, but it’s all but gone now.

You can buy whoever you want, but it won’t bring that back until we are able to strike fear into opponents with our style of play. That won’t happen any time soon.

We're very far from the elite when they're with their main lineup it's not funny. We'll still do well in the league finishing 2nd/3rd but that's it. No PL or CL for several years coming.

We can argue that we are missing players, but none of those are going to solve the real issues, Shaw is simply awful and we don't have a RW.

He has no forwards on the bench. He's just giving some players a rest and some others some game time.
Aaah my apologies then. Did not see the bench. He is wrapping our attackers in cotton wool before the first game.

Do people realise Bayern have been playing in the ICC. Yes it's a lot of these players first game back together, but they've been playing Juve, PSG and City in America

It’s not the results but some semblance of confidence and togetherness would be good. There’s no sign of a team. I know Mourinho would argue it’s not his full team but they are all his players and he coaches and picks them. He needs to take it back to basics, in tactics and in building team morale and an environment conducive to growth. There’s none of that evident this summer - much the opposite is coming out, a toxic club. Somethings gonna give soon unless he hits the ground running
There's been none of that evidence since Mourinho's been the coach of this team.

At this point I’m convinced that McTominay has Jose’s nudes, and the threat of them leaking is what is getting him minutes in the side
I doubt there's anyone who wants to see them so can't be that

I can discuss opinions. I'm trying to understand the need to place so much importance on nothing games just to fall into hysterics.
Not everything is a sign of the Apocalypse. A win v Leicester is worth more than a preseason worth of fantasy football so what really is the point in all of this?
Its not healthy.
No one is placing the importance of winning this game, it's the fact that we are bad, we can't pass, are attacking play is non-existent. It's horrible to watch! We can say this because we are watching it.

Football, bloody hell.
Mourinho plays Young at left back: 'Why isn't he playing Shaw, he's treating him terrible etc etc.'
Mourinho plays Shaw at left back: 'Shaw is shit, why is he playing?'

Pereira not really helping his case for a spot in the squad. Everyone has been dire though so not too worried for him.

Andreas pererira has done ok tonight- has kep possession well when bayern press.so aggressively.

We are badly carrying Mata
Think you’re seeing what you want to see.

Pereira has given the ball away a lot, as has Fred and Herrera.

C'mon take a shot so Mourinho can have his excuse that we at least tried.

We won like all preseason games last year- it means nothing. How hard is it to grasp. Some of you on here.

The coaching is making them seem poorer than some of them are. I can’t take much more of this park the bus bullshit. Mourinho has become more cowardly in old age
I think he has too but I still hold out hope it’s lack of trust in the defence that can hopefully be improved. The pattern of our seasons under him have been decent start football wise and getting progressively more negative as the season has gone on. When it gets to the business end this is how it will be.

This team lacks belief, direction, courage, creativity and motivation. These are all attributed towards poor coaching. This will be Mourinhos last season because the fans and board will be at their limit at the end of this season.
