United thread 2018/19

Interesting thread on the caf as to whether or not they'll get top 4/6, they should be more concerned about top half.

Staying up....!!

Does anyone honestly believe that if they had stuck with Moyes they would be any worse off?

If Moyes hadn't beet so eager to be seen as his own man and get rid of slurs backroom staff - he'd have had half a chance.

And not getting rid of Shrek when Baconface had pretty much set it up for him

That, my friend, is an exaggeration. The united squad, player for player, is very good. They need a leader. A man who united them to succeed. Mourinho is too argumentive to be the leader they need.

Remember when Zidane took over, Madrid where in a similar position. Rafa was not getting on with the squad of players, especially Ronaldo.

I hear this a lot... other than De Gea, none of their players would even be in consideration for our starting 11. And only a few would make our squad. Their defence is awful, need 4 new players. Pogba is bang average at best. Matic's best days are behind him. Fellani no comment needed, Herrera average clogger. So 2 players needed there min. lingard, rashford mid table players. Martial delivers nothing! Lukaku a lump, will get goals but never top draw. Sanchez legs gone, again best days behind him. So 2 players needed minimum up front. There in a right mess, a million miles behind us.

Madrid may have had issues with Rafa, but they also had 7 or 8 world class players. Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, modric, Kroos, Isco, Ronaldo, bale..... the Madrid situation was nothing like the Rags current plight...

I think his biggest issue was trying to conform to "the United way". If he'd just stuck to being Moyes and just pumped long balls to Fellaini, then they'd have been fine, but he clearly lacked the confidence to play to his strengths. Maureen has shown that pumping it long to Fellaini, or hitting it to Fellaini at the back post, is a perfectly viable strategy and very had to stop. It's pretty much the only successful attacking strategy he has. But poor Moyesy didn't want to be seen as doing that

History repeats itself. The pisscan should have walked much sooner than he did: it was only after our re-emergence was becoming inevitable that he quit. Just like Busby before him.

And even then, you're being very generous. De Gea simply isn't suited to the requirements of being a goalkeeper in our team.

The way we play, there's no way I'd get rid of Ederson. But De Gea is a top draw keeper. It would be the only debate for me, I didn't mean I'd go with the donut thief though...

Not much fun to be had on the rag sites these days, it was more fun when they still had hope.

Now it's gloom, doom and despair with an occasional flurry of headlesschickeness, that peters out to gloom, doom and despair.

Waited a long time for this, savour every moment of despair.
