Jose: The forwards to blame for that

How many players has Mourinho publicly berated now? They may be a shower of overrated pampered @#%&!s but he's not going to achieve anything by constantly doing it. They'll down tools before he knows it and we all know what'll come next

Sane is meh

Jesus. He must be shite.

Depressing.

Yeah, think a few people forget just how good Mensah was, especially at West Ham and Spurs.

What a wasted year for him.

er.... yuh. tfm. :sigh:

the two young kids don't score enough , end of. if they each had say 10 league goals playing well with each other they'd be undroppable. they don't and that's why we struggle to score. ibra has had problems too but can get at the end of a cross. ibra , mata , pogba - the top three in goals , the rest meh , a goal here and there.

Fact is that at this stage last season we had a group of young players who had the potential and performance level for us to believe they were going to be great players. We took the decision to put them under the guidance of a manager who prefers to work with more developed players.

So far, it seems we got what we signed up for.

Last season we couldn't hold out at West Ham with our great manager and amazing young players.....

Sane is a constant threat , a players getting in behind defences, running at defenders and being very productive with the ball. Not running it out of player and not being clinical in front of goal.

I've lost count of the amount of sitters missed this season...


Can blame Mourinho all you want but, it's not his fault Lingard, Rashford, Martial, Ibrahimovic, Pogba Miki have all missed £#%&!ing sitters this season.


I saw Rashford and Marital dribble into the box numerous times on Saturday and then £#%&!ing dribble out of it. Hugely frustrating

Martial scored twice. Bit much blaming him for Herrera's constant dimwitted fouling and our shit@#%&!ery against aerial balls.

Largely because the brains trust Herrera and Valencia kept giving away free-kicks.

Martial scored twice, of course. He was phenomenal in the closing stages of lasts eason. Ended with 17 goals iirc.

Every team misses chances. Believe it or not, we even missed them last season too.

Besides, the days of the heroic, shot peppering draws are long gone. At home to Hull, Bournemouth and now WBA - we've just been shit.

I agree , strikers find it easier when they had players like sterling and sane moving around , playing quick little passes and playing off each other.

sterling and sane, guess who the like for like players in our team would be...
Yep the two that every excuse under the sun is rolled out to justify or excuse the fact they are both are playing poorly. Sterling and Sane play in wide positions and threaten, use their pace positively and harm opposition where as we have players with similar attributes not performing but that's because they aren't playing the right position nothing tondo with them actually not playing well.

the reason the premiership is so competitive is because the defences are not very good, which is why zlatan has marched in at 35 and not found it hard to score goals yet he is holding back the amazing young players we have who can't score

Some of you guys

Only 16 players have scored 10 league goals before their 20th birthday in Premier League history, not 10 in a season, 10 in total.

Sterling and Sané couldn't break down Stoke the other week either.

And we weren't shit last season when we were booed off after our cowardly losses at home to Southampton, Norwich and the absolute borefest that was West Ham at home?


See, you can't just dismiss our results with "Oh every team misses chances" and then blame it on the £#%&!ing manager, just because you don't like him, Siders.....You defended LvG for the absolute shit he produced from the players last season and now, even though the performances have improved very slightly, you're blaming the manager for what is essentially the same £#%&!ing thing as last season?


It's one or the other! If it's Mourinho's fault, it was LvG's fault! If you still insist on fawning over and defending Van Gaal, then this is hardly Mourinho's fault, is it?

zlatan has missed at least as many proper chances as he has taken. he has also wasted countless easy opportunities and situations to feed others in better positions, simple positions, to score ... the reason he has marched in and scored so many goals is because apart from him being a great player the team has been set up, not entirely unlike van gaal's teams, to use the 9 as the absolute focal point of the system ...

as for comparing united's 2 young strikers with city's 2 young wingers get a grip mate, they're completely different types of players. the nearest genuine comparison is sane with mhikitaryan and sterling probably with lingard ...

i wouldn't be sucking city off too hard though if i was you - they've got it all on themselves to secure top 4 and were humiliated home and away for long periods by monaco in the 1st knock-out round of the CL. saying 'yes but at least they were in it' will cut no ice btw so spare your little chubby fingers ...

I haven't really blamed Mourinho for the recent results. I've just said that most managers would get more heat.

You're looking for inconsistencies that aren't actually there. The inconsistency comes from people who now don't blame the manager.

Though Mourinho does have better players and hasn't endured two months with 15 players out tbf.
