How about dropping out two most ineffective players in the full backs. Considering they both used to be wingers they give us nothing going forward, especially against a team camped in their own half. Young just cuts back and aims a hopeful high cross in and Valencia will shuffle towards the full back before stopping and cutting back to whichever CM is nearest to him.

Watch Saturdays game again and most of our matches this season and point out what's made up about that. Quote:
It's generally how we look, with the occasional exception, usually when we're boxed in to a corner. And when it's questioned, he puts it ALL on the players (I know how to win...) and tells us we have no recent heritage (hasn't stopped Liverpool and Roma reaching the semi finals of the CL). We have our moments. Last week, but that was fifteen minute spell when we had little choice but to go for it..... and it only acts as a reminder of what we're actually capable of. Saturday: back to the default. Maybe he'll turn it round. I don't know and I don't really care. He's annoying the shit out of me, I don't like him. I don't like his squad. I don't like the way he plays. I've respected him from afar, but never envied his style and hoped for it at the club. When he got here, I thought he would be smart enough to adapt. Instead, he's doubled down and gone on the defensive (literally and figuratively). I have no genuine hope for the remainder of this season or next season. I think the best we can hope for is to become a better version of what we currently are. Which is £#%&!in boring.. I was done with him after the Sevilla debacle. If you're not, good for you. |

For good or ill we’ve thrown in with Mourinho now and we have to back him. Of course the buck stops with him if the players he brought in were the wrong ones, but in mitigation it’s very hard to know how they will react mentally when they play at OT. Part of the reason City have been so successful this season is because PG didn’t let the grass grow under his feet and the board backed him to do it. He knows Hart is shit, so he bins him double quick and brings in Bravo. Bravo is shit so he bins him as well and brings in Tattoo boy. He indentifies the full back area as a weakness so he bins Kolorov, Zabaletta, Sagna and Clichy and spends a ridiculous amount of money on Walker, Mendy etc. There’s none of this ‘ooooh he’s been a good servant, or give him time’ bullshit. Not good enough? Wrong attitude? Out.
We’ve all been watching United a long time. We know the problem areas and the players who are not good enough - certainly to take you to the next level- and yet here they all still are, stinking the gaff up. We need to differentiate between players being good enough in individual games -or a three game stretch- and good enough overall. So long as we keep bigging up deficient players because they scored a good goal here and there, or had Salah in their pocket in a good win we’ll continue to lose ground year on year. |

Plus we're only mathematically guaranteed top 5 at this point, so if he does properly lose the dressing room (this ship may have sailed already) a late season collapse like the one he encouraged last year wouldn't be very clever. |
