The obviously stunning poor performance aside; can anyone see some kind of idea in the attacking play of United? Crosses? And more? And if that is all it amounts to, perhaps it could help to have a player or two in the box? Re, Oles view of the future - "we are going to be the most fit team in...

The team came across as more relaxed today; more fluid play, more initiatives, the players exuded more joy on the pitch. JM-haters might see it as a result from a holiday from the manager from below hell. Or is it perhaps the combined result of finding a new "reason to fight", even though City...

There is a widespread image of Ferguson’s United that seems become more and more twisted. Above it is said "the right midset of old which was attacking football or bust".

I am probably a very untypical follower of United. I tend to prefer controlling games rather than gung-ho attack. I was very much in favor of when Ferguson adapted United more to a continental model, but still retaining the stamina och fighting spirit of English football. Presently, I think many...

It seems to me that a fairly large part of the fans disliked or detested Mourinho from the very beginning, back since his days in Chelsea. For being the enemy in PL, for his type of football, for the oil money poured into Chelsea and possibly some additional sins. Loyalists of course backed him...

LFC have been grossly elevated in media all over the world. They are quite ordinary if they are up against a structured defence. As pointed out by several, they hardly had one real chance to score. A lot of possession but no end product. That said, very good defending by United. McT is a gem.

Albeit I am Swedish, I am not entirely certain VNL will become a top-class PL-defender. At least not for a year or two. Is United going to cope with Smalling as the defender to rely until VNL and Bailly are full fledged defenders? If they ever will be? I feel a bit uncomfortable with that...
