You have to wonder what is the manager doing with them? We still have good squad but the mind who uses them looks dead to me.Good to come back to 2-2, but hard to call that a good performance. Still play like they only met a few weeks ago.

He'll play every United game we have from now on. Even the U23s and the Women's team.Now he'll never be benched again.
No but he shouldNo chance Mourinho subs Lukaku after he scored a goal. And I doubt we'll see Martial again this soon.
Even if we are setup to be reactive and i don't think that's the case. It still doesn't explain how poor we are, the players always look fearful as if they expect itIt's as simple as that. Jose doesn't set us up to start games on the front foot. It's truly pathetic.
Sorry, but if you can't admit that he did really well with his hold-up play this half, then you're seeing what you want to see. He has hardly put a foot wrong.Specsavers are still open if you hurry
In case the wall jumps, the free kick taker can drill the ball on the ground under the wall's feet. McTominay is there to stop the ball if that happens.Can someone tell me what McTominay was doing for Southampton's free kick?
Never ever ever want us to loseIt's hard to make up my mind:
- wanting us to lose only to be a step closer to Jose out
- wanting us to win only to see the face of Hughes - the most unlikable manager ever, the little cnut
That is an overly simplistic way of interpreting such situations in football. It does not always come down to the manager. Anyone who has played some football will tell you that. So that rubbish Pogba just served was due to Jose? Come on!Yes, so that shows they possess the individual quality to play good football and beat the opponents. If so, them not being motivated all the time is due to the Manager. For all their faults, have you seen teams coached by Klopp, Poch or Sarri swing from looking like pub players to the exact opposite next minute?
And this nonsense happens almost every game.
He's not the only problem. We've been this way for years, and it baffles me that people continuously lay the blame almost exclusively on the manager. Moyes certainly wasn't up to the task, that's no secret, but LvG and Jose didn't just mysteriously forget how to be football managers the day they arrived at Old Trafford. If sacking him is the only thing we do to fix it, it'll be less than a year before people around here want the next manager fired, too. And the next. Doesn't matter who we bring in as long as there's clearly something fundamentally rotten at the club. Every player we sign turns out to be shit, every manager fails, and we're performing so far below even the most reasonable expectations that it's frankly comical. Jose Mourinho is not single-handedly causing all of this.Seriously. Mourinho can't be the whole problem. These players haven't played differently since Moyes. You telling me these players never played football before? Not a single player has independent thought.
If you imagine Jose on a set of scales, people are upset that it looks like once again he’ll do just enough to avoid the sack. When 20 minutes ago it seemed so close to him getting the boot.Some on here seem genuinely upset we have got it back. This place is honestly embarrassing
No. That's on the people who look at a miss-hit shot and then declare Rashford 'stupid' rather than having a lack of technique/composure.You are getting into dangerous territory now playing the race card.
For an occasional bad performance, you can blame the players. For regular bad performances, you blame the manager.Why blame Jose? Okay, the line up. What I just saw was down to those 11 on the pitch. They ARE good enough to beat Southampton so let's stop making this line up excuse for them. The same eleven that played crap in the first 20 minutes and went two goals down, started playing a lot better in the last 20 minutes and scores two goals. The same eleven for goodness sake!
half the ham sandwich shared with Lukaku at half timeOwen just said Young had a good half.
I think people are referring to his intelligence on the pitch... they dont know him personally so i doubt they think he stupid.Yeah. I think the comments about Rashford being stupid are mainly a race thing. It's an easy go-to criticism for black players.
He's quite clearly an intelligent player. What he lacks more often than not is compusure and technique. That's got nothing to do with intelligence. Getting into positions is about being clever. Shanking a shot is about consistency/ability.
It's fairly ironic to see certain posters comment on another human being's intelligence.
Oh how standards have fallen if that is a perfect performance-when did you start watching-LVG's last half season?Sorry, but if you can't admit that he did really well with his hold-up play this half, then you're seeing what you want to see. He has hardly put a foot wrong.
You mean kneeling behind the wall? That's to prevent the daisycutter below the wall the players jump.Can someone tell me what McTominay was doing for Southampton's free kick?
Good post. He is generally on the move and trying to offer something for our midfieldThe thing is he keeps on trying to open up defences and doesn't hide unlike many other players.
Yes of course he makes mistakes but when he does his haters can't wait to get their fingers going.
If Pogba for example tried as hard we would be a far better team but because he is Pogba his giving the ball away so often gets ignored.
Newcastle all over again.Yet we'll still have a section of fans claiming we've turned a corner after coming back against an awful side
He doesn’t. He’s shit.
It may be anti-EnglandWhat?
That's a ridiculous statement.
His touch and movement will make him blend in.He'll play every United game we have from now on. Even the U23s and the Women's team.
1998. You're blinded by bias so let's leave it.Oh how standards have fallen if that is a perfect performance-when did you start watching-LVG's last half season?
What Jose told him to do. I rest my case.Can someone tell me what McTominay was doing for Southampton's free kick?
Of course. He doesn't like the manager's tactics and so is not arsed. Fault's on him, but also on Jose for not managing the team properly.That is an overly simplistic way of interpreting such situations in football. It does not always come down to the manager. Anyone who has played some football will tell you that. So that rubbish Pogba just served was due to Jose? Come on!
Lukaku for player of the season?He'll play every United game we have from now on. Even the U23s and the Women's team.
That's how it is everywhere else,not sure why Jose deserves a different set of standardsFor an occasional bad performance, you can blame the players. For regular bad performances, you blame the manager.
Jesus, just stop right there with that rubbish.Yeah. I think the comments about Rashford being stupid are mainly a race thing. It's an easy go-to criticism for black players.
Yeah, problem was our wall barely jumped.You mean kneeling behind the wall? That's to prevent the daisycutter below the wall the players jump.

If you disagree, pick it up in this thread.
Aye, i've got me log book at the readyIf there's 3 parts to the second half, it's going to be a mathematical nightmare.
