To say we’ve got lean pickings in the quality dept is well...

Scholes face.

Enjoyed that 1-1

We're not as good as we were, we all know that.

But there's not being good enough and then there's just being a £#%&!ing lazy, piss-poor shambles. Plenty of teams aren't as good as Juventus, but i'll bet you most of them won't just sit there and watch them play the ball about like it's a glorified training session.

At least show a bit of fight, some guts...have some courage with the ball. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

You don't need a team of world superstars to compete. But we're not even competing.

We shouldn't be playing at this level. Nowhere near good enough.

We are really bad

I'm sorry but that's just %@#$&!s. We finished 6 points ahead of the Liverpool team that got to the champions league final last year.

It's a £#%&!ing cup competition at the end of the day and we look like we've decided not to bother competing. Unforgivable.

Exactly.

If we were shit but on the road to something, you would persevere.... but we're not.

There is no pattern developing. Three years in and we don't play with any more identity than we did in his first game against Bournemouth .

Most of the players he's brought in are as big an issue as the ones he's kept.

We're going nowhere. And every positive result and new false dawn just wastes time for us to start over again.

That's pretty much the size of things.

Individual scouting.

Of first team players for Manchester @#%&!ING United.

It's true.

A sad state of affairs.

How many points did de gea save us from losing last season? We got outclassed in the cl last season, is it any surprise it's happening against Juve, a team that are pretty much guaranteed to make it to the semis?

We're trying to compete. We just can't.

Yes, Matic is a tugboat, then trying to pair him with guys like Fellaini and Pogba mean we are far too easy to play through in midfield, just too big to cover the ground and turn against smaller players. Lukaku being so limited is another anchor, can't build with such a limited player as the point.

great, another £#%&!ing half of this shite
