Rock bottom will be when atletico knock us out and we lose out on top 4, somehow ending up in the conference League.It’s no rock bottom with us. We can always do worse.

From scratch.Have to say I think these are really dark days for the club
Run by idiots, Fred and mctominay starting most weeks, toxic culture, no cohesive playing style, five years without a trophy
I wouldn’t even know where to start to fix it all
This is sadly it, we find new lows when it doesn't seem possible.It’s no rock bottom with us. We can always do worse.
How do you not see the progress? We absolutely dominated them from start to finish before ET, how is it Ralf's fault our players can't score a penalty or when we have a bloody open goal. Give your head a wobble for christs sake, people on here would have you believe Middlesbrough absolutely played us off the park and it was the worst we've played in over a hundred yearsIn terms of embarrassment as a supporter, of course. I was in the stadium and felt it. In terms of performance, I think losing to Liverpool under a manager who had reached the end, is very much comparable to drawing with an average championship team under a manager who is supposed to be progressing the team.
It's fecking Middlesbrough from the league below, pointing at us dominating isn't a positive it's the bear minimum given DDG aside it was our strongest teamHow do you not see the progress?

Yeah, I mean there’s progress compared to a 5-0 defeat against Liverpool if you want to view it that way. Let’s not pretend the preceding two years were at that level. Ole got flack for losing in semi’s to premier league teams. This is fecking shit.How do you not see the progress?

We lost today but we were good tonight. The reason we are out is because we didn't take our chances. We had 30 attempts and scored 1.It hasn't got any better has it
And? We did that bare minimum and should have done more, what more do you want considering how absolutely atrocious we have been for months now. If we had just stuck away a few of the easy chances, including a damn open goal, you'd be singing about how amazing we played rather than how it's the worst we've ever performed. It's complete hyperbole and overreaction from everyone on here, i'm angry we got knocked out as well but if you cannot see how much better we played as a team and a unit, considering not too long ago we couldn't even string 2 passes together or even hit a precision pass over 5 yards, then I honestly do not know what to say to you.It's fecking Middlesbrough from the league below, pointing at us dominating isn't a positive it's the bear minimum given DDG aside it was our strongest team
I agree with you that it's not our lowest ebb, but it's not always a long process to get back to a reasonable standard. That's the same thinking that afforded Ole three years to do the damage he did. The first thing you do is bring a competent manager in and I'm not sure we have one at the moment.This isn’t worst it’s been, people need to accept it’s going to take a long time to sort out shit show Ole left behind. This squad is nowhere near good enough and last three years did more harm than good.
I'm not saying it's great and I am also angry that we are out. But surely over the last few months you've seen that we can't even pass the ball half the time. Tonight we had some really good attacking play and sturdy defending which is a far cry from what we've had all season, we were in complete control, it was genuinely one of those nights where it just wasn't going in no matter what and that sucks but from the performance itself (aside from the finishing) i thought there were much more things to be positive about over recent monthsYeah, I mean there’s progress compared to a 5-0 defeat against Liverpool if you want to view it that way.

No I wouldn't because this is a game whoever we selected should have been good enough to win, it was a game where there's no joy from winning as winning by a decent scoreline should be expectedAnd?

Honestly mate, words fail me. Like it’s some fecking achievement.It's fecking Middlesbrough from the league below, pointing at us dominating isn't a positive it's the bear minimum given DDG aside it was our strongest team
Honestly, first time I'm not even bothered we got knocked out the FA cup at this stage, if we get knocked out the CL I won't be bothered either, I just can't see this team getting close to any trophies.Is this even a question?
Varane - injured
Sancho - injued
Elanga - broken
at least we can focus on the EPL and CL now
Not trying to pour salt into any wounds but the extent to which standards have fallen for the biggest club in England is ridiculous. Going out against a club from the lower division is acceptable because you had 30 shots? Good grief.No I wouldn't because this is a game whoever we selected should have been good enough to win, it was a game where there's no joy from winning as winning by a decent scoreline should be expected
I’m usually pretty positive and I have felt like there have been some decent little periods in games under Ralf, but no, I’m not looking for positives in a loss to a championship team.

Jesus christ, i forgot we’ve been sensational all seasonHonestly mate, words fail me. Like it’s some fecking achievement.
Normally i’d say yes, it should be the norm, believe me my standards are as high as anybody here. But for me I would agree with you had we been playing well all season, but we’ve been at rock bottom for months with a garbage season from the beginning and almost freefall form. So if i look at it from that perspective i’d say its an improvement, Championship team or not. Given how shocking we’ve been i’m actually surprised people were expecting us to dominate them with 5+ goals, we have been that bad but apparently people have short memoriesI’m usually pretty positive and I have felt like there have been some decent little periods in games under Ralf, but no, I’m not looking for positives in a loss to a championship team. It’s really bad.
Is good attacking play and control not a complete given against championship team with that first 11 we had out?
I remember thinking that loss against Southampton under LVG was the lowest I’d felt as a United fan. Not the worst result, but given it wasn’t far from us winning the league, it felt like we were really spiralling downwards. Standards are completely on the floor with the players and fan base.
