If 2007/08 is anything to go by, the midweek games will do for Mourinho and then Bryan Robson will get them to the Champions' League final.
Looking forward to seeing Joe Linton for Hoffenheim.
What is actually lol, rather than a team conceding a goal, is that a Man Utd youth player is trending on twitter (in London). Desperation ahoy.
The ref in the Man City game just penalised them (well, made them take it again) for taking a throw in too quickly
Tonight will be shit but I think they win. They'd rather stay in the champions league for the next manager than chuck it all away
Gundogan seems to get injured all the time.
What a mong that defender is.
This midfield is absolutely dreadful. You've got two one paced midfielders who can be passed around and then Pogba who has this uncanny knack of standing near the possession but no where near to put someone under pressure or actually do the things a fucking midfielder should do. He's a fucking dreadful midfielder.
Valencia is phoning it in as well. He just jogs a little forward then thinks that's the job done. No ambition to join Sanchez on the right, just release it and stand at full back. Grim doesn't sum it up.
I think they've actively decided to try and get Mourinho fired now.
He's just playing a team that are limited in their abilities. Even if it was PEP he couldn't make Fellaini and Pogba a good CM partnership.
Matic, Fellaini and Pogba does sound like a midfield for the ages.
Mourinho's a pleb and all, but the inescapable fact is that United's team (squad) is deeply average and has been for a number of years. It's borderline miraculous how relatively successful they've been since Fergie left.
Yep - and our scouting ability has been incredible to fit shit pegs for round holes. Shaw is probably the only thing that is a positive this season.
Which is fine if he wasn't the one agreeing to all these deals for overpaid fuckwits.
I've been watching Bayern vs. Ajax (because I am a hipster) and so far Ajax have been unlucky not to be winning. Some great youngsters in their side (Van Den Beek, Taglifico, Onana, Neres, De Ligt and more). I wanted to see Frenkie De Jong but he's not involved.
We spent Ł50m on a more dynamic midfielder in Fred and then as soon as he doesn't set the world alight immediately it's back to Fellaini.
Does Akinfeev get his clean sheet with that?
Yeah the Fellaini thing is just a constant nightmare. Not as much as Lukaku is though.
I also don't believe this squad is anywhere near as bad as Mourinho is making it look.
It's Jimmy's Belgian rule in reverse.
So is it going to be Carrick to blazer out the rest of the season or do you double down and call for Binedine Binman?
Better act quick though, his old employers may want him back.
Watch Fellaini head it in.
Jose for life! What a man!!
I think if he went now you would say, all things considered, that 'LvG' did a better job.
I think he got more out of what he had to work with than Mourinho is doing. He obviously oversaw some shite recruitment, but Mourinho has definitely benefited from better backing and an ability to concentrate on particular areas. He got Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger, and they've spent two-hundred million quid on midfielders since.
U19 football in Italy and Spain really is a joke. Watching Liverpool v Napoli, all the Napoli have their chin up, chest pumped out, shouting and balling.. and then a Liverpool player goes within 5yrds of them and they are on the floor screaming. Same last season when we played Athletico and I think Roma. It's a different, more embarrassing they're playing.
The end of that game sounds fairly lol.
Multiball!
Jesus, the blast from the past thing on the beeb's livetext brings back memories. Bad memories.

the Everton game referenced is when Woy told us it would be utopia to win there even though we won 2-0 the year beforehand.
What a retard.
Lol at that lineup.
Much better line up tonight
What happened Keita there? I missed it.
Holy fucking hell.
What's that in relation to?
Ha. Bruce gets a cabbage thrown at him AND he's sacked in a 24 hour spell.
This is some AVB tier football
One-man team
Bring Sturridge on. Maybe also give Salah a month off.
Not great this tonight. Stealing a point really.
