United thread 2018/19

[Proy]

Just read his post match.

He really is incredible. He clearly cant work with what he has and alluded to him being more of a head coach than a manager. He ain't getting what he wants.

It all sounds a bit mancini like at the end of his tenure. He wants absolute and total power.

That club has no infrastructure and is a ticking fucking time bomb.

Not selling Martial and Pogba and not buying those old centre halves says the board are keeping their players and willing to lose the manager.

I can't say I blame them.

The man is a selfish, delusional hypocrite. A caricature of himself.

I'd be concerned if he left but there is rot in that club. They have lost their foundation and operationally are very poor. Even if he goes, I don't see a threat.

Where's that "rag" button you promised us, @Ric?

Haha, he’s got a point though. Surprised he stopped there. Fred was Silva-esque, and Rashford reminded me a lot of a younger Aguero...

Assuming they don't improve the football and max out this season in terms of grinding out wins, they're likely to head towards a 85-90 point season. Effectively we're still in control of our fates.

Impressive how you deduced that from that performance! Can’t see them getting that points total personally.

I don't know how to put it eloquently, but the best I can say is they were fucking dogshit and a better side would have punished them.

They reminded me of our title winning team under Mancini. Bailly was peak Kompany-esque and some Yaya style play from Pogba.

Completely agree, Darmian was as good as Zaba at his peak tonight.

It's not based off one performance though, please see above :)


Also to be clear again for all, it was a hypothetical. I never even implicitly suggested it would happen.

Didn't see the match apart from last 5 mins
Were Leicester actually in the game/any threat.?
How did Pogbad and Sanchez play-did they look committed /dangerous ?
And..most importantly. ..I noticed loads of empty seats on pub sky screen with ten mins to go...were those seats empty all game,partc top tiers.?

I think United were fairly resilient and tough to beat last season, albeit playing a fairly joyless brand of football, and got a decent points haul. Previous seasons often count for nothing though, so think it’s wildly premature to predict an 85-90 point finish for them just yet.
