Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Don't think they will this season. I don't see a consistent game winning team. Zlatan and Martial are the best outlets for goals, then you've got Rashford coming but he's really on Martial level? That's a disaster on it's own imo. Pogba is going through the De Bruyne phase, it's not easy to translate form from one league to the other. He should get there eventually though. Then I also feel the defence is lacking, the days of Vidic or Ferdinand are gone and there's no like for like replacement. To top it all off, they seem to be set up really defensively.
Not the same United I remember. It's like watching Chelsea vs Palace or another mid table team, they're under no pressure and just cruising the ball around.
edit: 2-0, I don't see much of a way back either. Game is done if it's anything like Liverpool away. Ball is being swung in and Zlatan is barely even stood in the final third never mind the box.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
They'll be lucky just to get to the 45 just two down. Shocking performance, that defence is atrocious to the standard of Man United
Chelsea look happy to sit off at 2-0, hate it when teams do that. Mine has a habit of it. United could get back in it like this.
Brilliant by Hazard, 3-0, United's defence just stood off him originally.
4-0, defence destroyed. Hopeless.

Good grief l am not sure United fan's want to awake from this utter nightmare and perhaps they should go into hibernation for the winter as l am starting to feel sorry for them.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
United fans should be refunded, that was an awful and lazy display. They had a hundred million to throw around, what's a drop in the water?

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Not a good day at the office for sure. 7 changes on Thursday, 6 today does not help continuity. Why a top class defender like Fosu Mensah doesn't even get on the bench ahead of Rojo is beyond me.
Neither Blind or Rojo is a fullback or a central defender TBH. I have always said that Fellaini should get nowhere near a United shirt unless he is in opposition. I was secretly hoping that disgusting, filthy tackle from Luiz had done real damage, could have been a straight red as well.
A decent spell of play before Hazards goal but only half chances really.
Still it's only a game and has already been consigned to history for me. 😉

I'm sorry but that's in poor taste , no matter who you support or what player you like/dislike wishing real damage on an individual is bang out of order.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Man Utd scored 1 more goal at this point. How isn't that entertaining
