"Rest of the drivel" :lol: But honestly, what has happened to this great team.
Maybe we should do something similar to the Grasshoppers Zurich fans. They got relegated for the 1st time in 70 years. At 4-0 down in Luzern fans moved pitchside and threatened to storm the pitch. Demanded players...

I have stopped watching and not going to watch again until we play exciting football. I honestly don’t care if we don’t win any trophies, I want football to excite me.
I love Simeone and quite like watching Atletico from time to time. But please, please don’t hire him as a United manager. We need the attacking mindset back.
Whatever happens now, please don’t appoint Simeone, Conte, Allegri, Benitez, Jardim or another one of many pragmatic / defensive managers. I want the excitement back.
Okay, it's getting more and more ridiculous with Mourinho. Is he totally deluded or what's his problem?
Mourinho: "All the teams they got better, Spurs was the team that did not make a direct investment, but the best investment is to keep the top players that you have. So every team got better...
So true and this is exactly where the problem is. Our players still haven't got a clue on what fans actually want. I myself have stopped watching United, can't do to myself anymore. I want United to win but every game is like torchure.
One thing I'm wondering about and can't get my head around regarding Fred's role in this is our transition into attack in the game against Brighton.
The typical sequence was:
1) Dea Gea passes to Bailly / Lindelof

It's because Mourinho is usually great at stopping the opposition, not so much at creating his own style that he would enforce on opposition. He is a destructor, not a creator like Klopp or Guardiola. There are some general patterns in every Jose's team but broadly speaking - any style is good...
I feel totally disconnected to be honest. I'm still supporting my team but the football itself hasn't provided me with any excitement for a while now. Sure, I'm happy / relieved when we win. But rarely excited. Ultimately, I have always loved United because of the the football we have shown, the...
