The fragility of this United team

I don't see that in any team in this league so far, but then it is only the first week in October.

It's Sparky who's mentally weak.

Agreed.

Whoever wins the league this season they are unlikely to steamroller it in the manner some (including United of course) have in the past.

Which is why (far more than what happened yesterday) I think this could be Arsenal's best chance for a while, and if they don't take it they could have a fair wait for a similar one.

Still think city will win the league easily. They battered west ham and were unlucky to lose. 2 Spurs goals were clear offside ones.

Newcastle should have been 2-0 up at the weekend, if you want to indulge in hypotheticals of that nature.

And united were unlucky not to beat Swansea and Newcastle. What's your point?

Making excuses for city yet not acknowledging how we had an onside goal not given against Newcastle? :shakehead:

Get to £#%&!.

City's goal against Spurs was offside as well.

Who looked £#%&!ed? if anything, it is the opposite - we start slow and take a while to get going. For all the criticism he gets over his age Schweinsteiger was all over the pitch second half yesterday.

The problem isn't fatigue, or fragility. It is the wrong players playing the wrong tactics/systems. It can be fixed. Whether it will or not, I've no idea.

State of this place and the internet in general when we have a bad game is laughable. We were shit yesterday end of, we started slow and couldnt recover.

We unfortunately played against an inform Sanchez, had we played the 3 weeks ago he would have been invisible as he has been most of the season.

Still think we will finish 2nd (behind City) but we will beat them in a couple of weeks

All of them looked heavy legged from the off, and throughout.

Unbelievable post.

Two weeks of depressing posts incoming God I hate internationals.

I'm not pushing the panic button just yet, although yesterday was farcical and it's sickening me how Arsenal had more stomach for the "fight" but, it's happened and LvG has two weeks to fix it.

Let's see how we get on at Goodison. If Deulofeu and Coleman are tearing whoever is a LB at new arse, while Depay looks on, picking the fluff out of his belly button, among the rest of the issues from yesterday are still there, then it's time to worry

As a side note, I'm finding 90% of the teams this season hard to watch. Palace are actually not too bad on the eye

This is why some people were concerned by the amount of departures from the squad this summer. It wasn't ok in August, and the punishment is only about to begin.

We need to bring in 2 or 3 players in January.
