but also teach the players not to wet the bed whenever they don't have the ball and we're back in business.
Do we need someone to teach them or just someone not to put the fear of god in them that a mistake will mean months out of the side?

I agree for the most part and Bruno was mostly invisible today but his cross was brilliant.He doesn't score goals for fun though. He scores penalties for fun. The same penalties he wouldn't score here because he wouldn't be on penalties and we don't get the calls that United does.
For some it takes time to appreciate all the winning in its many and varied forms. Feels good doesn't it? I'm loving it. Unfortunately, I had to suffer through another grind of a Masters' week so wasn't able to catch our goings on. It was truly a regretful decision to have to watch the coronation of the first Japanese major champ instead of our tactical masterclass as I'm sure it was.Unfortunately your militant sarcasm will be lost on many, my post was for them, not you.
Sometimes I remember that Bruno really wanted to play for us. Then Levy wouldn’t buy him. That was fun.I agree for the most part and Bruno was mostly invisible today but his cross was brilliant.
"We had the best English striker of a generation" isn't much when the answer could be "Yeah and he wasted his prime years with you" is what I'm afraid of.Who cares what other fans think though?
Absolutely! We should have pressured them into at least one red card.They’ve clearly been the better side aided by a string of cynical fouls
Why the f*ck did Aurier put the ball out? There was no need whatsoever, and it is the ref's decision to stop the game. Man Utd such a cynical team.With him being instrumental in the goal
The deadwood are on watertight contracts which makes them very hard to shift without having to pay them compensation. The salaries that some of our squad players get, just doesn't equate to the impact they will make during a game, and until there is some kind of financial reset in football, then agents will command the biggest package possible for their clients. We can Blame JM for much of this mess, but Levy & co are holding the purse strings.We always say "sell off the deadwood", and manager after manager never seem to... maybe its harder than it looks what with no one else wanting them!
...and Levy ain't gonna get rid for nothing!
They also say "it's the hope that kills you"
...well not any more.... it's the REALITY of that toxic stubborn Dinosaur at our club that's killing me!
I can't remember in the history of our club when I've not looked forward to being in a Cup Final! (Even if we weren't favourites!)
But I'm DREADING this one... I don't even think Jose thinks we can win it... let alone the players.
That sinking feeling of EVERYTHING football SHOULDN'T be about is all on Jose I'm afraid.
I've never been so disenchanted with my club.... and that's not even taking Covid and VAR into account!!
Still, on the plus side, we picked a good Cup Final year to not have to worry about getting tickets!
Jose is breaking all records this season...
So much for "Year ending in 1"!!
If I remember correctly, Lindelof was a clown under Mourinho so he’s not that great of a CB. If I was to pick from the starting 11 of both sides yesterday I’d go with...There was a sense of inevitability about the defeat today. But taking a step back and going player for player in equivalent positions we’re fairly evenly matched talent wise. You’d take AWB and Fernandes over Aurier and GLC but equally you’d probably take Reggie, Son and Kane over Shaw, Rashford and Cavani. Perhaps their CB pairing too.
My point is, from a talent perspective it shouldn’t have been inevitable.
The reason is was is attitude, tactics, application, form but all variables that are within our control.
And the alleged ‘nice guy’ image of OGS gone for good now after his comments about Son while his team are one of the worst at this sort of thing!Why the f*ck did Aurier put the ball out? There was no need whatsoever, and it is the ref's decision to stop the game. Man Utd such a cynical team.
That’s a good one!BC, for some reason I can't quote your other post. I actually don't understand what you are trying to say though. I don't think I implied you want Mou to stay or anything so don't know why you'd feel you needed to defend it. I was expressing my feelings and using you report of the game as proof we are turning a corner. You see green shoots of 40 minutes and reachingforthestars was entertained for 7 minutes. Evidence that Mou is going in the right direction.
So you should try supporting your team!
What’s it got to do with you?
Why indeed?Why the f*ck did Aurier put the ball out? There was no need whatsoever, and it is the ref's decision to stop the game. Man Utd such a cynical team.
What’s it got to do with you?
Between me and Todd who clearly can also see through you
