I hope we play better vs Leicester. Because that was grim.
Buckoo, if you were not aware there has been a push for Mourinho to manage United for at least five years here on the site, people have been arguing about him (with me!) for his suitability for the club for years.there seems to be a lot of back and forth between those who recognise how poor we've played since Christmas and those who think Jose is still the man
i'd love to know what those who believe in Jose think is going to happen this season....what is he going to do to improve the way we play?
or is it Woody's fault? It's not like Jose has had 2 years and 350 million to spend previously
Are you being pedantic?
Woodward or one of his staff do the negotiating but Mourinho decides who the club try to buy. We are being linked primarily to centrebacks and have been all summer. When we desperately need winger/s and a left back.
Who decided that was our transfer strategy then? Woodward or Mourinho?
If the answer is Mourinho then as i said, Jose buy some fecking wingers.

I pictured you typing this whilst nursing a glass of neat whisky.Our team has no soul. Three back to back terrible managers have destroyed 26 years of hard work.
We just have to believe in his methods even if it makes us look shit. If we are going to play shit football, we'd better do it a convincing way. For us fans, we just have to have faith.Park the bus and hope for the best?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy good defensive football, Athletico Madrid was a joy to watch at times, insane pressing, insane defending, insane counter attacking. Utd have none of that.
Whatever this 'style' we're meant to enjoy, it's not good to watch on a defensive stand point, non existant creative attacking and non existant counter attacking.
The second half of last season was a complete drag, with the odd highlight.
Was the style in all it's glory vs Sevilla?

Otherwise, how will you stay sane?
Only 1 shot on goal?
Whatever you want to call it.Assume you mean pragmatic football. Shite football isn't ever going to be convincing, even when we win.
A load of top reds on this forum. Bout' it.
Nobody in the media or anyone I've ever met in public thinks we're even a decent side. It'll take a while to lose our 'boring as fcuk' label.
Jeez I know I'm negative but hell, that's a terrible post.
Many of the players IMO aren't good enough to be first teamers , certainly good enough to beat Stanley on Sea's under 12s though.
It’s not bonkers, it’s what it is. United only have a very strong starting XI, beyond that the players are very average. Once you don’t have the right combination of players on the pitch, the gaping hole in the fabric of the team begins to expand.
Mata is finished at top level.
Rashford is not a centre forward.

Ok.Silly childish post.
I'm not even sure what he is.
Not good enough, he really isn'tI'm not even sure what he is.
Is it fair to say that generally we have been hit worse by players missing from late world cup or injury than out rivals ? So saying we are behind them in preparation could be explained by this ? May be people should have taken Jose not being happy a few weeks ago more seriously if they were expecting us to be well prepared
Jose wants people to think that way so no one knows our new way and tricks for the new season.
I think people need to see a bigger picture here. He is a world class manager and THE master at playing mind games.

£350m is shit these days to be honest. It’s the equivalent of 1 Neymar + 1 Coutinho. Considering the squad Jose inherited was so hapless, it’s ridiculous to think £350m would be enough to make the jump from 5th to league champions.
All the good teams (Barca, Real, Bayern, Juve) play the high press and do it well. Jose set up this team to invite pressure and go on the counter; is the style of football simply behind the times?
