Because that would honestly be one of the most #@&%!ed things anyone has ever said on here. And this is a forum with Pure and Fat Goth.

You know that I am referring to tonight's "performance".

It's not just tonight. They've been £#%&!ing £#%&! for the last 3 games. Very concerning considering this current squad's penchant for going months without a win.

Jokes aside...3 goals in 3 game against Hull, Stoke and that £#%&!ing Liverpool team is very concerning.

We absolutely battered Stoke, tbf. I agree that the Liverpool game was maybe a case of being sucked in by the hype.

Well I saw that and it triggered me to £#%&!.

Proper triggered.

Saw Lingard's "roger from the nickelodeon cartoon doug" face and his dabbing.



Instantly went into windmill mode. Both online and in real life... Shadow boxing.

Think before you post.

Won't let me link but John Cross says Jose's after match "strop" was towards Wenger.

Deluded.

that looked rough as f@@k.

apparently Jose has apologised for not winning the last 3 games 5-0..

"we're really pissed off to get to wembley"

Mate, you could copy that sentence and paste it to the match thread of every game he plays in. We've been lucky to have some monster wide men over the years, so watching what Lingard does to our shape gives me a £#%&!ing migraine.

Jones is awful at set pieces; Herrera has been fluctuating between ordinary and poor for a worryingly decent while now; Smalling just isn't good enough; Darmian's case is closed; Rashford wasn't as poor as Lingard, but being home grown only gets you so far, he needs to start contributing a better final ball.

Looked old against Liverpool too.

Really wished we'd gone all out for a midfielder. Having Fellaini as back-up .

Howson nails it here... Nails it....this is a BIG warning sign.

Though even a 35 year old on the top of their game might still be vulnerable to Klopp's "pressing" approach.

Tonight was more worrying if anything - and we STILL don't have a replacement

we need to replace carrick.

but... right now... we don't need to replace carrick. we need to give him a £#%&!ing chance by picking a midfield around him that won't be doing tricks on the edge of the opposition penalty area whilst he covers the whole £#%&!ing midfield.

the problem is not carrick's age. jose either doesn't pick him.... and we look awful. or he does pick him and then expects him to be bryan robson. or paul mcgrath. or both. every week. it's £#%&!ing insane.

The problem is that our £#%&! ups early doors left us no room for error, so unless he wanted to run the risk of falling further behind we almost needed to play our best team every week. Sad truth is that outside that 'best 11' we have very little quality to call on.

Now? We needed to replace him in 2013 ffs.

Verratti

Mourinho's lack of rotation is bizarre. Flogging both 35 year-olds half to death. He did this in his title-winning season two years ago and Chelsea suffered for it at the end of it, but this season is much more competitive.

Defence is an issue at times, but we have more numbers and Bailly is already back with us. Midfield is a huge issue - lack of numbers and Pogba putting in some streak performances, Herrera not influencing tricky games like we want him to. Then you have Carrick who's never been the most athletic player and who was injured for lots of last season.

That leaves Fellaini (Schweinsteiger obviously doesn't count) . Really dont understand why he hasn't put Blind in there. He could easily try him there against Wigan.
