This has been so bad I've decided to do something actually fun. If the game mattered I'd persevere the terrible football, but it doesn't.
Players will know that it means nothing to the manager, the fans and probably most of them. They'll also not want to get injured.Why are you being so obtuse? Who has said this?
If you seriously think that's what would occur then we should end the discussion here, really.If we open up, and get absolutely battered which is highly probably with this team out, surely you'd expect that affect confidence more than losing this on a whimper by a goal or two?
No, I didn't realise that - thanks for the clarification. Let's just carry on playing with 4 CBs and an additional one in midfield and hope they don't twat us any more than what they are doing so.
You think if we opened up against this Spurs team, at The Lane with that defence and midfield we'd come off better than we are now? Genuine question. Not being obtuse or argumentative , genuinely interested in how you come to that opinionIf you seriously think that's what would occur then we should end the discussion here, really.
only sing when we are winning fan are you?This has been so bad I've decided to do something actually fun. If the game mattered I'd persevere the terrible football, but it doesn't.
I think we could end up getting smashed if we went for it with this team. Jones and Smalling are struggling to defend when we are playing compact...It's pretty much the same as the Arsenal game -- with absolutely nothing to play for, why not just go for it? The [extremely hollow] defence raised in that game was that we'd get destroyed even more so than what happened in the game... Does anyone think actually going toe-to-toe with them would result in a worse performance than what we're seeing so far?
Na he's probably an adult with other things to do. Happens sometimes. If you're not at the ground and it's a game like this, can hardly blame himonly sing when we are winning fan are you?
The simple fact of watching football? Football isn't like a computer game, you know. By pushing onto a team, they lose their ability to carve you open because they become pinned back themselves. Namely, the fullbacks would be affected the most, and they're quite possibly the key component for Spurs - by allowing their fullbacks such space out wide by barely attacking, Eriksen is able to roam around freely. Look right now, they've hit a bit of a lull in the past 5 minutes or so. Attacking them in such a quiet spell could quite easily change the climate of the game.You think if we opened up against this Spurs team, at The Lane with that defence and midfield we'd come off better than we are now?

Didn't you get the memo? We've been playing great footballThis wouldn't be so bad if it didn't sum up most of our league performances since beating Leicester 3-0.
From that game onwards we've been absolute trash in the league in terms of performances bar maybe 3 games.
This is genuinely worse than Van Gaal could come up with.The quality of our football at present (and I'm referring to the last two months or so in particular) is as bad as anything we've seen since Ferguson left the club.
Van Gaal and Moyes would be slaughtered for these kind of performances.
DEFEND, DEFEND, DEFEND is the motto more associated with this team.It's embarrassing, could understand if I was watching stoke, West Brom ect, but we are Man Utd. Attack Attack Attack
David's saves has not been as many as last 2 seasons when you can make a video of more than 15 minutes of him saving us. This season I don't think any video of his saves will exceed 5 minutes. I don't know from when did you bring this point.Last season every DDG save was brilliant, and his costly mistakes were hardly mentioned. This season his brilliant saves are hardly mentioned. He did have a few spectacular ones last season, but this shows that people were out for LvG's head and are desperate to go easy on Mourinho. The Chelsea away game had some nice attacking football in a difficult time. The team had some mental issues, but there was quite a bit of fight in it and they did bounce back from a disappointment quite often.
Don't know but it do proves they are bunch of losers. LVG not taking an action against them is something to blame him for, too. He let them escape with their mentality for the whole season, while Jose is hammering the players to improve their mentality or leave.There were all these stories about the players hating it that Van Gaal explaining them their errors in front of the other players. My first response would be 'what a bunch of unprofessional pussies', but somehow this was proof what an evil man Van Gaal was.
The difference in points tell everything imo. Also this has nothing of finding excuses for Jose. Even if Jose fails it won't make LVG a success. I hope this is clear.Yes, but the difference between the top 4 and the rest differs per season anyway. It's just not very telling. I was disappointed in LvG's achievements too, I just think it's nonsense to lower the standards dramatically and find any kind of excuse for a manager who isn't building something but was supposed to buy himself into an instant title challenge with top 4 taken for granted.
I agree. We're probably creating less chances with a more negative approach to the game.This is genuinely worse than Van Gaal could come up with.
I've never turned a game off before and we've played some of the worst football I've seen in recent years from any team. It's not that. It's the fact that José's shown he's not bothered about this game with the tactics on show and, having had a bad week or two, I'm not in the mood to watch us run around like headless chickens failing to string a few passes together. At the end of the day if José isn't treating this match of any importance it's meaningless to me.only sing when we are winning fan are you?
Rooney, Smalling and Jones "fecking off" don't solve anything.Hard to defend this kind of football. I try to remain positive and content that things will get better next season, but its hard work to try and justify the need to play this kind of football. The faster the likes of Rooney, Jones,Smalling etc fecks off, great.But if Mourinho even after getting his desired targets makes us play this tumescent, unattractive shite way of football more and more fans will turn against him.
Yep. I'd stress it is only since February but that doesn't make it acceptable.The quality of our football at present (and I'm referring to the last two months or so in particular) is as bad as anything we've seen since Ferguson left the club.

And we will here nonsense about how Griezmann was a "luxury player" at Atletico and Mourinho still needs better players.I think what a lot of people find hard to read or listen to, is the idea that we will definitely see an improvement next season with added additions.
I can't be the only person who thinks it's perfectly possible that Griezmann etc will arrive and we'll still be playing this shit.
