Manchester United 1:1 Swansea City

Post-match discussion


Sun, 30 April 2017

Should play some youngsters and rest a few players for EL. This is pointless now and we have no defenders...

Hopefully Rooney played his last game for United, Martial just runs forward and hopes for the best. Talented but quite a stupid player.
 
Rooney is a liability. I dunno why Jose didn't haul him off in the 60th minute mark but then we have had to force changes because of chickens like Shaw.

Rooney had a very good chance to make it 2-0 and with a gaping goal, Rooney still hit his own player. Lo & behold, he was the one making a foul at the edge of the box for Swansea to score.

Rooney has played his last game at Old Trafford......Hopefully

If only we had fecked him off back in 2013
 
Mate you've just said the same thing three times to my post or my alerts are going nuts :lol:
My internet is going bonkers and can't post a post, it seems when it's posted it's posted 3 times in a row. :lol:
 
We put out a distinctly average lineup which was barely better than Swansea's and got an expected result. Time to put the reserves out in the league and just hope we can win the Europa.
 
Our Attack really is so inept. They could have killed the game off but fecked it up as usual. Story of the season. I wish we'd just change the majority of our attackers next season. Players like Lingard and Martial cannot complain they haven't been given chances. Especially Lingard who's a very limited player and should not be starting games for Man Utd.
 
Second rate performance from our second rate team. Our backups really just aren't very good.

Except we are playing with many of our best players. Rashford, Martial, Herrera, Bailly (til the injury), Valencia, De Gea etc.
 
We should've stuck to the diamond, we were on top and creating chances at will then. No idea why Jose decided to revert to the shit starting tactics where they were thoroughly outplaying us.
 
Can't blame that one on him, 2 injured defenders, and you never know when the third injury might come lol.
Seems that these days you can't blame anything on the manager. He's run first 11 into the ground with playing them non-stop in all competitions.
 
Well that was absolutely shite. Lots of amateurish mistakes in the build-up and a severe lack of concentration and effort.

With the exception of Martial, no one else turned up.

We'd have been third in the table had we won this one. This shite result is hard to take and basically ends our hopes for a top 4 finish.
 
Feel like crying.
 
1. Our attack is pathetic
2. Rooney is a fecking waste of space. The worst player in our squad by a mile, and that's saying something.
3. Imagine thinking Lingard is good enough to be a starter for us.
4. Our midfield without Pogba is dog shit.
 
Predictable.

Thouroughly concinced that next season we will be firing on all cylinders. 5 years of player mismanagement can't be fixed in less than a season. Jose is the right man to take us forward.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to suiting up on Thursday against Vigo.
 
we need pogba back asap, we just have no midfield and creativity without him
 
How can the players respond so diligently to Mourinho's instructions for the Chelsea game and yet show so much apathy in these kind of games?

We played at walking pace today.We struggled to even complete the basics.

As a performance, that's a bad as you'll see from any Premier League side, let alone one that has ambitions of European football.
We are running on last ligaments of our last legs. We are extremely exhausted. Get a decent result on Thursday and we will win EL. Top 4 is out of reach.
 
Bunch off perenial bottlers laughable team, clueless coach

14 draws this season, 10 at OT most off them against small clubs that we should easily beat. There simply is no excuse for this kind of shit.

Our team clearly looks tired but what do you expect if you do the following things all season:
  • Don't give any minutes to young players like Tuanzebe and TFM, what is the point in having them in the team ?
  • Use Pogba and Zlatan in every match for every minute in all competitions and don't allow them any rest
  • Use your best players for the entire league cup
  • Use your best players for all games in EL group stage
  • Ship out 3 players over the course of the season but don't bring in any replacements
Ofcourse when it is money time your players are knackered and injurries happen left and right

Time to start doing what had to be done already weeks ago, give up on the fecking league we have bottled that with all the draws, play the kids in those games, they really don't matter anymore. And focus 100% on Celta from now on, ofcourse royally late because in the last 2 games we have lost Pogba and Bailly due to injurry but if we keep fecking about like this we will no doubt lose Rashford or something aswell.

Mourinho needs to realise he doesn't have a squad strong enough to win in several competitions. Right now EL is the best bet to get in the CL save what strenght we have left for those games instead burning up our players to get a useless draw like today.
 
On reflection, we should be happy with a point. Swansea deserved all three, if we're being honest and were it not for Llorente, would have gotten them.
 
Their finishing has been rightly criticised all season. But why do we still pretend as if we create chances and play well in an attacking sense? We don't, and I've been banging this drum since the turn of the year.

I think we need accept that Swansea are fighting for their lives, but today just wasn't good enough.

There's no denying that we create very little, but I'd be wary to blame Mourinho for that. If we were playing in the same restricted way as we did under LVG then I'd be on board with you but with the exception of some of the big games like away to City we haven't come across as being limited by a defensive mindset, we've just been shit. And, yes, maybe the manager is to blame in training but after three separate managers and the difference in our tone when Ibrahimovic and Pogba have played (where we at least looked like we were bothered to play) I'd like to see the team do something other than tell the press that they'll play better next time.
 
Another poor performance at home. 6 or 7 of those who played today should be gone in the summer.
 
Not sure I'd want to take this lot to the Champions League.

Going to the CL just to make up the numbers would be wasteful, we dont need the money, just the prestige.
 
Horrible performance. It really is frustrating to have it all to do in our hands and we can't get over the finish line. Every single time. The team is extremely tired because of injuries but also because of lack of rotating. I was waiting to see how every panned out but that really might be top 4 done. So frustrating.
 
There were some positives imo:
Herrera was really good, and had the confidence to draw players in before pinging the ball out wide. Nice to see.
Swansea basically created two chances in the entire match even with our defensive crisis. One was offside from a free kick and the other was a perfect free kick. You don't often concede when that's all you give away.
Carrick and Blind were okay, if uninspiring.

That's about it though. Martial is really worrying, had moments but so uninvolved. Not sure Jose is the type to get him playing.
 
1. Our attack is pathetic
2. Rooney is a fecking waste of space. The worst player in our squad by a mile, and that's saying something.

B-but, elephant in the room and all that??
 
Seems that these days you can't blame anything on the manager. He's run first 11 into the ground with playing them non-stop in all competitions.
:lol: What would you expect him to do today? Keep a one legged Bailey on? If he had decent backups maybe he could rotate, but the squad is absolute garbage!
 
In fairness, Martial should've gotten out of the way. Its like Wayne was going to pass it to him.

Wayne didn't need to hit that ball so high. The bottom corner of the goal was so gaping. Just pass the ball into the net and the fat Scouser did us in again. He should never wear the red shirt again if he has any decorum.
