Man that was one tough day for Reds fans. I thought going into this season that we had one of the best lineups ever with amazing depth to boot. They just aren't playing together as a team. The talent is there but somebody has gotta take charge and light a fire under more than a few asses. I am so disappointed right now and honestly don't have any idea how to solve it and not sure if Jose does either.
 
after this city game atleast games get easier. we have done pretty well against weaker sides, one of the positives over last season

this looked a tough week and unfortunately it turned out that way (in the league).. would have been cracking if we could have nicked a win in one of the games but now we have a real fight to finish top 4

i still dont want Fellaini in there and i have no idea how Carrick is not starting games! And Ibra needs to f***ing get back to scoring.. missed a sitter 3 games in a row now! cost us against Stoke, cost us against Liverpool and today if he scores that header at 1-0 it could have been a different game. really starting to piss me off
 
Mourinho's tears are delicious. I hate Chelsea but I hate Mourinho more. Loved watching him get spanked.

Too bad Arsenal couldn't break through against Middlesboro...was a pretty entertaining game to watch despite the tie. Midd had a few pretty good chances as well.

I turned the match off.

Funny how United fans berated Van Gal for not attacking much and then the Man United board appoint a manger who plays 6 at the back, 2 of which are the most attacking players on the pitch.

Can believe he took those tactics into the Chelsea game.

f*** Mourinho. Like I said from the start, he is way overrated as a manager and that was obvious with his last season as Chelsea boss.

And why the f*** isn't Mkhytaryan playing any games at all? A fantastic talent like that and he can;t even get on the bench, but two left feet Fellani plays in most games.

f*** Mourinho.

Won't be too long at this rate.

I mean Jesus...with the money he spent this transfer window they really should be doing a lot better...then again, its only 1/4 of the way through the season and they are only 6 points out of the lead.
 
if he spent that much in his second season then i would agree.. but this is his first few months with the club, and new faces always means getting used to things, especially when they join a club that is having so many changes

people are way too quick to judge. after last 2 years i just wanted to be entertained in home games against lower teams and we got that so far imo so thats why i am content. big games have not gone well, no doubts about it but that will come with time

Yeah. Arsenal fans were claiming the sky was falling after just two games...like they do every f***ing year. Bottom line is, Man U is a few points away from being back in the Champions League. I hate Mourinho but I think his critics are jumping the gun.
 
So, who is ready for more 6 at the back clusterf*** action tonight?

Another Derby game for United, if Mourinho goes defensive again then he needs sacking...at half time...in the middle of the pitch...so all fans can throw stuff at him afterward.
 
that was regarding the goal

Myhkataryan needs to prove himself again, after his atrocious performance against city. and i am sure we will see him against burnley when it isnt such a big game

He needs game time to prove himself.

I just hope Carrick plays more.
 
sensational performance, 39 shots, and 0-0 :| what higher power has jose pissed off

stoke game and now this... ibra is becoming a problem, way too many sitters missed now

First half was meh.

Second half was superb. A lot of people will criticise United for not scoring but I think you just have to take your hat off and praise Burnley's centre halfs and GK, they were fantastic.

Although, Ibrah probably should have won it with that 2 yard opportunity from Pogba's cross.
 
You know, I wasn't really blown away by Heaton's performance. It was faultless and deserved praise yes - but I feel that if any keeper in the league conceded that match it'd have been called bad keeping, the finishing was just that poor. Ibrahimovic is in piss poor form in front of goal, though he's linking the play up well overall but he has to start putting them away as he's costing us points. The Mkhi situation is bizzare with Jose saying he needs to adjust to the Prem despite the fact he needs game time if he's gonna adjust. Hope it sorts its self out soon.
 
How do you go from that attacking play against Burnley to that piss poor, lethargic, shambles of a performance against Fenerbache? Way too slow in passing, people walking off the ball, no movement up front. Was just possession for possession sake.

Nice goal by Rooney though.
 
Jose - "for them it's a champions league final, for us it's a summer friendly''.

Twat. the way things are going it's his best chance of getting in the CL next season
