There's something I don't want to say but feel like I have to. I really, really don't find any joy in watching us anymore. The last 2 weeks were the most fun I had the entire season just because of lack of football. Watching us play this awful football isn't fun anymore, especially when you're not even challenging for anything big to warrant such awful football.
I'm at the point that I feel watching United matches is a job I have to do rather than 2 hours of mindless fun I look forward to 2 days a week. I almost feel angry when we don't win nowadays more due to me wasting 2 hours watching shit football without a payoff rather than being annoyed at the bad result itself, because there's even nothing big we're fighting for to even worry about, I would at least liked to enjoy some football but even this I can't get.
It's really a terrible feeling.
You're definately not the only one. I find it much more fun when Utd aren't on too, past 2 weeks were great. If I could see a proactive style in place, but just falling short, (Liverpool pre Alisson/VVD, losing high scoring games due to awful defenders), I would snap take that over this now, as you could tell they were on the cusp of something special. But with us, I feel there's nothing there, no foundations of success being built at all, just a lifeless negative cesspit of a team. Just like Mourinho's 2nd place, there's nothing of substance behind this 2nd place.
We play conservatively vs. anyone near our level regardless of our prior form. To see a young talented team with that mentality just kills me. Off the ball movement is minimal, the amount of times x player gets the ball, and everyone is just standing still, is absurd. The thing is, that 1st half performance is the majority. How many matches do we begin flat, then sleepwalk through entire halfs, whilst the staff looks upon glassy-eyed? You tell yourself it's got to change next time, but we 9/10 do it again. It's infuriating.
I've come to accept it, as long as he's here, nothing's going to change, so what's the point getting annoyed you know? He'll be gone eventually, so just got to wait it out.
