Now we’ve got Mata, de Gea, Young and Lingard. Jones on the bench. Leaders of men Christ, it’s painful |

Could be argued that we’ve done it arse about face this time. Selling the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez and expecting a 17 year old kid too become a first team regular. The form that Rashford has been showing for a while could be a result of too much too soon? I’m all for giving the kids game time and have high hopes for them, but expecting them to come into this team and play well is setting them up to fail imo. |

Part of Mourinho's problem is he expected to front these players up the way he did with Terry, Lampard, Drogba...They're just not the same people. Too young, rich and spoiled. |

I genuinely hate saying this but, look at Klopp's lot and their collective mentality. It is off the chart in comparison to us. City go out and have their arses handed to them by Norwich, they respond by going out and put Watford in hospital. Meanwhile, I'm sat here thinking Rochdale will get a result tomorrow |

I am not seeing a low character team this season, or one with a lack of effort and application. That was a fair criticism in the past, this team are working much harder, the pressing team wide is a large part of the improved defensive level.
What they lack is ability and consistent quality. This is the cost of years of woeful performance in recruitment, and a refusal to think long term. We can't afford more failures like Lukaku, Di Maria, Sanchez and Matic, guys we knew had serious issues(technical, physical or mentality) that made them questionable signings. We have spent a Billion since Fergie retired but Ole is effectively having to start from scratch, he had nothing to build on coming into the job, no spine of a team in place, just a mess. |
