Bilic absolutely killing it on PL Tonight. Been great and agree with most of what he has said.
The difference is that under Mourinho, Pogba wouldn’t be here, Fellaini, Matic would have been in midfield, Lukaku up front and we would have been beaten just as we did at their placeWhen we're playing like we did under Mourinho with the same players, the common denominator is the players. I'm sorry, but it's a real bug bare of mine that the players don't get held accountable.
I saw us have possesion on the left hand side tonight and all the nearby players back off offering no options. That happened under Mourinho too. To say that Ole and Mourinho are the same kind of manager is madness. These guys get paid an effing fortune and some don't look like they can be bothered, a majority of this is on the players' attitudes.
Agreed.It took 6 years continually compounding the club's errors top down to lead to us being "5th/6th is our level at the moment.
He's put in good crosses in other games but I can't think of one great delivery today. Rom was awful today and rightly subbed.Don’t agree off the back of today he’s easily the best crosser in the team. I know that isn’t saying much but he put in good crosses today and worked the line well.
We should have been beaten tonight. You think we would have played better?The difference is that under Mourinho, Pogba wouldn’t be here, Fellaini, Matic would have been in midfield, Lukaku up front and we would have been beaten just as we did at their place
Mourinho and Ole may not be the same type of managers, but we also can't say Ole is a better manager than Mourinho can we? I'm totally with you on the players being at fault, I personally think the majority of our players are utter dog shit and not fit for purpose. But I can't reasonably say that Ole is blameless either.When we're playing like we did under Mourinho with the same players, the common denominator is the players. I'm sorry, but it's a real bug bare of mine that the players don't get held accountable.

Under Mou we wouldn’t have won! I’m convinced.We should have been beaten tonight. You think we would have played better?
Check Liverpool in their last few games! All of a sudden that’s character,desire and passion. Ignoring the good fortuneAs awful as we were.
That really could be a huge 3 points.
Must be demoralising for the top 4 rivals to see us play that shit and still somehow win.
That’s what Utd is about though. UCL, PL etc.Fatigue from the Barca game 2 days ago is why.
You’re argument is that it would have been a different set of shit players so we should be thankful?The difference is that under Mourinho, Pogba wouldn’t be here, Fellaini, Matic would have been in midfield, Lukaku up front and we would have been beaten just as we did at their place
He put good balls in. There was just nobody in the box hunting them.He's put in good crosses in other games but I can't think of one great delivery today. Rom was awful today and rightly subbed.
I've been hammered before and told I have a vendetta against him because I believe he's so average.When Martials bad, he's absolutely atrocious. Today and watford he's looked like a sunday league player. Lingard and Mata nearly as bad.
Must see things very differently then as I thought he was pretty decent. Easily 1 of our best players today but again not really saying much.He's put in good crosses in other games but I can't think of one great delivery today. Rom was awful today and rightly subbed.
Really interesting how we all see the game differently. We'll agree to disagree on this one man.Must see things very differently then as I thought he was pretty decent. Easily 1 of our best players today but again not really saying much.
Maybe because I was a striker so he gets in the strikers Union of protectionReally interesting how we all see the game differently. We'll agree to disagree on this one man.
The worry is that yes he might get them fitter, be able to run faster and for longer, but you cannot always make a players brain work quicker.The thing that bugged me today the most and in most games because it seems to be a recurring issue and that’s the desiscions and the speed we make them at. Space will open and a player is moving and for some reason it seems to take an age for the player with the ball to play the pass and by the time they do the opportunity is gone. Or just choosing the wrong option like Mata today. I just don’t see how we can have such talented players and they keep making poor desicion after poor decision.
Some of this has to come down to what is happening in training surely. I just think a lot of work needs to be done on what our players need to be doing when they don’t have the ball. You watch any top team and the movement is deliberate and planned. We just don’t seem to know where or what we should be doing a long with players taking liberties with the ball.
I didn't mean you, it's been said every week....What?
That's the first time I've said that.
True but a lot of what these top teams do is just pattern recognition. Maybe we train this sort of thing a lot and players just don’t take it on but there are scenarios where we have a 3rd runner going and pass doesn’t go to them or other times people just standing still not offering or creating space. Fred today was great at offering himself up or creating passing lanes or offering himself but again players not giving him the ball or not recognising he was in a great position to keep play moving or do damage.The worry is that yes he might get them fitter, be able to run faster and for longer, but you cannot always make a players brain work quicker.
Haha. No problem. Just absolutely pissed off with this.in my mind I was excluding De Gea but you're right, my math is awful
They’re not good balls if there’s no one in the box. Should be waiting for them to get in or laying it offHe put good balls in. There was just nobody in the box hunting them.
That’s not what I said though. There were people in the box. They just weren’t doing anything.They’re not good balls if there’s no one in the box. Should be waiting for them to get in or laying it off
Agreed. We wont win the champions league, we are no where near good enough. All efforts need to go towards getting 4th, mass buying and shifting the the dross players we have. That will not happen if we do not get 4th.We need to rest players against Barcelona to have any chance of overturning Everton
