Why bother supporting the team at all if you’re only interested when it does well? Love my team no matter how much they annoy me at times…Just want to get the Atleti games over and done with then that'll be me done with this season.

Good post. Nice to have some reality for a chance. We played well against boro. Should’ve won 3 or 4 nil. One of those games. The last few games have show much improvement though. Reasons for optimism.Sometimes you have games where everything that goes wrong goes wrong. We battered Boro, played well and deserved to win. A combination of poor finishing (Ronaldo is lacking confidence due to not scoring a goal for ages the best strikers go through it he needs a goal to get him going again) bad luck with the handball goal and fatigue because of the lack of options on the bench (thank Lingard and Cavani for that) all contributed to a loss. It was the perfect storm for Middlesborough that if you replayed that goal 10 times Boro would probably win 1
I'd play the same starting team with minimal changes because I think they are getting rhythm and slowly getting better. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take a few steps forward
4-0 United
United. United we lose together and United we win together. United through the bad times and good.
This post is far too rational and sensible to be wasted in the matchday forum.Sometimes you have games where everything that goes wrong goes wrong. We battered Boro, played well and deserved to win.

Thanks RD. I have my moments.btw I am still smiling about your Marsha comment.
7/10 I reckon.Is Sancho fit?
So we should have a pretty full squad available.7/10 I reckon.
Imagine hating Phil Jones that much. Dear God.Imagine hating Maguire that much you'd rather pick Phil Jones. Dear god.
Work rescheduling means I can watch this full gameI never want to watch Manchester United play football ever again
What times KO?
only If we stop insisting on using sancho and rashford the wrong way aroundHopefully we follow on with the attacking cohesion we showed against Middlesbrough but with clinical finishing this time. The only starting change I'd make is Matic in the holding role, we know there's no future in this midfield 3 but if we're sticking with 4-3-3 for the rest of the season then this is the most balanced option.
I like Jones tbh but Maguire is objectively a considerably better defender and footballer. If you can’t see that then frankly I pity you.Imagine hating Phil Jones that much. Dear God.
Nah, you don't. You'd assume I hate Maguire, which is really, really sad and deserves more pity.I like Jones tbh but Maguire is objectively a considerably better defender and footballer. If you can’t see that then frankly I pity you.
Did you watch the whole game vs Boro? I ask because we had a lot more chances than you appear to have seen.I’m surprised to read posts claiming that we played really well against boro. We actually didn’t. The chances we missed weren’t exactly glorious. There was the missed pk, but one normally wouldn’t point to a missed pk as evidence of brilliant play. There was the open net miss by Bruno, for which some credit for the pressing is warranted but it was in fact the result of poor play out of the back that created the open net, which Bruno missed. And the poor defending that the to boro’s goal — which should have been disallowed, without question — was shocking.
My point is that we need to significantly raise our performance level against Burnley from what we just witnessed on Friday if we’re to scrape the away point.
Yeah I do tbf, it’s difficult to hate someone you’ve been watching since they were 18. And most people on this forum seem irrationally hate Maguire so if I’ve misread that than I apologise. However I don’t see why you’d drop him for Phil Jones when coming up against a 6ft6 striker.Nah, you don't. You'd assume I hate Maguire, which is really, really sad and deserves more pity.
Personally can't see any optimism when Maguire, Scott, and Shaw are the first choices. Pogba wants to leave and Rashford and Ronaldo only play for themselves The squad needs gutting again.Whereas under Ole we often played shit but got a result, Boro was a good performance that didn't end up the way we deserved. We're definitely playing better though and, if we keep improving, should be optimistic.
I think Rangnick will keep Rashford on the RW to prevent him constantly cutting in to shoot, personally right now I'd start Sancho RW and Elanga LW and use Marcus as an impact sub, but I'm not sure politically if Rangnick can do that.only If we stop insisting on using sancho and rashford the wrong way around
You should see some of the comments I've seen on Twitter from so-called fans in Africa, Asia & North America, saying things like, "I'm done with UTD", "I'm going to support Chelsea, UTD are so bad", I even saw a pic of someone wearing a UTD shirt with a piece of paper taped over the United bit on the badge & replaced with the word City making the badge on the shirt say "Manchester City" instead of "Manchester United"Why bother supporting the team at all if you’re only interested when it does well? Love my team no matter how much they annoy me at times…
My biggest fear is that he players like many posters on here are still on cloud nine after the massive high of putting in a performance and taking mighty Middlesborough all the way to penalties, it can be hard to bring the players back down to earth and concentrate again after such a feat.
With Atwell on VAROMG Mike Dean!
Feels like about 80% of posters on here have absolutely no idea what supporting a football team is all about.Why bother supporting the team at all if you’re only interested when it does well? Love my team no matter how much they annoy me at times…
