Exactly. We don't get luck because our supporters put our players down and break any sort of confidence within them, especially our average players never mind players like Bruno and Rashford.

How do you think how Oxelade Chamberlain would have been treated at United vs how he was treated at Liverpool when they were getting in to CL finals year by year?

United fans are just scum and horrible people. If i knew this before watching football & falling in love with Manchester United then i would have never supported this team because the fanbase is horrible for support and very very big headed.

It's like the wife that looks good when you first get married and the longer your with her the more bad things you actually get to see. But now that im married and have kids with her - i cant ditch them and start all over again because we have been in a progressive relationship for a very long time.
:lol: :lol:

I was so disappointed at how much abuse Fellaini was given in here. I shall admit he wasn't always a pleasure to watch...
But unlike Rashford, his commitment was never a problem. And Man Utd actually won things thanks to him.
There's a pretty clear line between intense but valid criticism and abuse. Abuse in my mind consists of posts that berate a footballer on the basis of matters not involving their performances on the pitch -- such as his race, ethnic background, religion, sexual preferences, physical appearance, and so on, that's abuse and are entirely out of order. But posts that criticize a player's performance level is part of the drama of being an observer of the game.

Was Fellaini ever actually abused here? Has Rashford ever been abused here?

What did he do to deserve such a high status at Manchester United?
You'd think he'd achieved peak Rooney's level or something.

Pogba wouldnt stay when offered 300k a week. So we needed this guy for sponsors. On a serious note is is laughable, such a mediocre temperamental player who has been nowhere near a big trophy

I'm sorry if the word 'abuse' was not wisely chosen. (English isn't my first language.)

YET, I remember insults and also that picture in the player performances section.(Where he was hit by a football and looked like a troll.)

While Rashford could shit in the ETH shoes and fans would comment at how well little Rashie has eaten...

He's like my most expensive pair of shoes.
They cost a lot, and felt good at the time, but they are obviously not the right fit.
So I keep using them, because they are in fact my most expensive ones.
Even though they keep gnawing at my heels and giving me blisters.

They'd probably be perfect for someone else's feet.

Your problem is that they're probably your most expensive shoes because of PR and branding rather than quality.

Rashford was very close to capturing the Euro 2020 trophy.

What are the chances he is magically fit for the final, after subbing himself off in the semis to avoid taking a penalty?

Do you really think a guy who had the nerves to take penaltys for England in major tournements or taking that penalty vs PSG subbed himself off vs mighty Coventry to avoid taking a penalty against them?

Yes. I believe he is that mentally fragile now.

So many United fans were so confident that the Rashford(specifically) and Bruno were holding the team back. Absolute clowns.
Well the Rashford (specifically) certainly isn't pushing the team forward which is where the criticism is coming from. Just because we still play shite when he doesn't play doesn't mean we don't play shite when he does.

The whole squad, minus a few youngsters needs culling and I'd certainly include Rashford in that.

It turns out that last season his form was the main reason we reached top 4 and the League Cup Title and not ETH's tactical or managerial genius.

Rashford was very disappointing this year, but he definitely was made a scapegoat by the fans. A lot of them thought we would play better without him. Turns out it was bullshit. Too many extremes in opinions on the cafe imo.

I mean quite a lot even accused him of faking his injury because he was scared to take a Penalty vs coventry.

Rashfords form improves the further he gets from his last game.

Rashford and Bruno are perfect for THIS version of United. Badly coached, no control and reliant on moments. Some of us clowns want United to be better than that. There are 12 teams that have out scored us this season, and thats with our attackers generally being available when compared to the defence.

To be honest at least with Bruno I can never question his work ethic or commitment. Even if he is not my cup of tea, I cant put him in the same box as Rashford.

That’s just not true though is it.

Last season we were much better structured and looked a coherent team. Unsurprisingly, Rashford was then able to be the difference-maker and Bruno also had a decent season.

This year, we’ve decided to generally play without a midfield, signed a baby CF who isn’t great at holding the ball up and have generally been a complete mess. Unsurprisingly, Rashford (and at times Bruno) have struggled to overcome the sheer incompetence of our management.

Given the above, where is the evidence that the team being an unstructured mess is “perfect” for them?

Really wanted him to get on the end of that Holjund pass. Would've been a great way to see off Old Trafford this season.
