Fucking too true. Could you imagine the match threads, with him in the side ?

Complete melt down:)

I don't know about that. What he lacks in pace & ability he makes up for in clumsy fouling.

He'll give a few penalties away this season for sure.

Just me that thought lukaku was offside for the goal?

Didn't see the match, but read that RM shaded the first half and rags dominated second but lost to an offer side goal.
On balance a draw would have been fair

Did you read that on redcafe?
On balance they should have been fucked about 7-3

Watched the game and the difference in class was evident in terms of ability, but if we ever needed it, then also a reminder that mourinho will be playing a direct and physical game this year again, and it will bring them results probably. Hopefully mostly draws again, or worse. But the current philosophy over the road stays true this year - if you can't beat them, kick them.

Real were wonderful at times, but have to kick thelseves for letting the rags back in to it. Their passing was sharp and will take apart many teams, but they were not sufficient in closing down the angled balls into the box, leaving Lukaku and co to wrestle one on one with their defenders for a chance on goal.

Pogba was pushed further forward in front of Matic and one of the other idiots, I forget which one, and thankfully looked just as useless as last season. Maybe that will develop but can see Mourinho just urging him to get in the box and on to the end of anything pumped up there. It's a system which Luakau will prosper in, unfortunately.

Given the fact that the rags love to harp on about the 'united way' and attacking flowing wing play, I can't imagine the current setup is going down well but success overrides pride it seems, though a trophyless season would put the cat among the rats. The chosen one? More like the route one.

Hoof!

Pretty much summed it up. Also despite Mourinho working with limited resources he really did prove himself the better coach. Bringing on Fellaini was a master stroke, Rags weren't going to get schooled by a load of fancy Dan diving girls. Obviously Mourinho won the mind games trophy

That assessment doesn't quite match the series of texts I received from my ERO, who presumably watched it! He tells me MANUre were given a lesson, Lucky Luke got a rebound, Wunderkind missed a one-on-one.

He also tells me that Isco is the opposite of turbogash!

He's just off by a small margin but that will be ignored and it'll be about how they should have drawn, silly delusional ****s got spanked.
