I've switched off,what a fucking shambles

You did what?
Sack that mate, we fight to the end, we stay to the end and we don't switch off....
Put it to bed and roll on Sunday.

I wish i hadn't missed sergio's 100th goal

To be honest I saw it but I was even more pissed off at how not one of the players seemed to think we could get back into it and just walked back to the half way line

Plus Manuel said yaya marked Fellani well in the first half

To go from having a sound defence under Mancini to a shocking defence under MP in his time here has been the downfall. Arsenal side that Wenger got from George Graham managed to defend well and play brilliant football under Wenger why couldnt we not do that with MP?? I will never know. We need defenders who can defend first and foremost. The defence needs a few new faces. The lack of fight at times we just rolled over and took 1 off those cunts and thats the sad thing. A kick up the arse or being honest let the players know they will have to fight for the right to be at this club next season. I BE INTERESTED to see what the club do with MP I just cant see us if we stumble accross the line in 4th or miss out MP and the board will have a big decision to make. So this is MPs time to show his nasty side and make the changes. Drop the under performing Yaya. Make the hard decisions and take the under performing players out of the game at the weekend. We have 2 home games coming up and win both and were back into the contention 4 home games are must win and get a win at Swansea or Spurs and we be good for top 4 but were abouts no one knows. We like to do things the hard way.

One thing that did piss me off during the game was the reaction of Tyler and Neville when Demi got an elbow in the face.
Fellaini has a reputation as a serial thug. Leading with his elbow in a deliberate attempt to hurt opposition players is a trademark of his game. Yet neither of those c**ts mentioned it. Instead, they seized upon the opportunity to slag Demi off when he jumped up too quickly. It was so fucking blatant of them it was embarrassing. You could almost hear the relief in their voices when he jumped up, now they had an excuse to talk about something other than the fact that Fellaini is a thug.
They should have been highlighting and discussing the elbow because it's not the first time, it's not even the second or third, that c**t does this about 5 times a fucking season and nothing is ever said.

I hate Felaini but watch the incident again, Demichellis was fucking embarrassing

What for just getting up off the floor? What advantage was he trying to gain by doing so.

It was a blatant elbow yet the biased pricks were going on about how Demi should be booked for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Can someone also explain to me why there was barely a mention about how far offside Mata's goal was?

The commentary today was even more one-sided than usual, which really is saying something.

"Lack of trust." Good grief we were a shambles.

In January 2014 I recall Alan Hansen on MoTD stating we were playing as 'The Best side in the world' and who could argue with our free scoring style as The Beast , Aguero & Dzeko demolished opposition.

What has gone wrong .. For me it was losing and not replacing Negredo , Toure trashing any authority the Club held with his Summer antics,compounded by piss poor signings and a Manager who has no clue how to adapt to an opponent.

Some of that's quite true
Should not have allowed negredo to go as well as Garcia who was labelled a donkey by many pundits yet as I've said before he could break up play , hold on to the ball , clear it away effectively ,be a nuisance putting his big frame about etc - boring too . Could have done with that today early on .Think MP has tried to tweek it too much after last season when we won it quite easily in the end but that lured us all into a false sense of security .
Have we had a settled side for one game this season ? That's another point
We got round the back easily last season scoring for fun - wide play , lots of shots on target , playing the percentages and getting the goals and not conceding as many as we are this season .
Confidence was higher too .

Maybe MP has been too relaxed which can rub off on players . It may need 5 players being let go though as many are saying . Bring in a centre back , defensive mid , right winger , couple of full backs . Strikers ? Still have enough to threaten anyone if Bony can partner Aguero .Silva and Aguero are going nowhere as they have contracts . It would take 80 - 100 million each to prise them away.

What would Real or Barca do if they were in this situation . They wouldn't let it get like this for a start . We can expect an announcement in the next 2-3 days IMO .
Cannot lose 4th . It will not be allowed to happen .
Stay calm . United are going nowhere . They will need 3 or 4 huge 60 million + signings in the summer just to get close to a title . The attitude from us was not there today - a bit fatalistic . Attitude . When you are winning one nil you chase everything down . It doesn't come to you on a plate . Even at 1-1 the attitude was not good .
Help will be on the way . Over to you Khaldoon

Lot's of people expecting a big shake up in the summer need to take note that most of those 12 average signings (bar Lampard) are on 4 year contracts.

Completely agree with the above. Our performance at a strategic level has been woeful ever since our first Title. But before we go and rely on the cheque book as the answer I think we should take a closer look at today and the lessons to learn. This afternoon we were well beaten regardless of refereeing decisions by effectively the same players who we demolished last season. For all of their spending the starting line up of the rags this afternoon didn't include ANY of their big name signings in the summer. Only two, Harrera and Blind started today but the difference wasn't the players. The difference was the shape, the discipline, the understanding and desire of how to win the game and as a result of the previous their belief and desire.

This comes from the manager and not the cheque book.

im am tired of the FFP excuse too now. it effects all clubs not just ours. Its hurt us more because we have been very poor in the transfer market which is down to the club not FFP.


How much did we get for Rodwell and Garcia ?

So I arrive at the swamp, far too early.
The turnstiles aren’t open, so sheltering from the rain, I find myself in the Munch Tunnel, observing the numerous plaques and newspaper cuttings.
At that moment I spot a vaguely familiar frail old gentleman walking towards me. He offers a polite smile, before a strong gust of wind despatches his hat towards Salford and beyond.
I do the decent thing and recover his hat, only to discover that the frail old gentleman is now being swamped by television cameras, foreign tourists and overgrown autograph hunters.

Thankfully, a sudden bout of human decency prevents me from doing something disgusting with Bobby Charlton’s hat

 

[McfcMK]

Getting to the point where I'm just hating everybody at the club, except Aguero. Never felt like this before.
