Only one thing that I want to say.

All those who don't rate rashford because he misses chances.
All those who think he's not good enough

for me he is the first name on the teamsheet bar de gea.

Typifies what a Utd player should be. Although he didn't score he was running out his skin all game tryna make something Happen. Lukaku came on and looked shattered, it was as if we had 10 men.

But yea, rashford appreciation post and apart from that stupid mistake thought the defenders did well especially bailly and rojo.

05 Dec 2018 22:56:54
People have also discarded Bailey but in my opinion he was very good tonight. His pace and physicality were a match for Auba.
Though I have to disagree regarding Rojo. He needs some game time to improve as today he was below average.
We were very fast in transition and our attacks were quick until Pogba came on. It all just went downhill when Pogba started to pull the strings. I expected more from Arsenal but looked like today they were having an off day which helped us get a draw.

05 Dec 2018 23:00:48
Rashford worked his socks off today. Showed that it mattered to him. Agree with you about Bailly and Rojo.

I also think Herrara has to start every game yes he's rash at times but he hunts the ball well. I'd like to see him and Fred with one other.

05 Dec 2018 23:08:34
Can’t argue. Big fan of Rashford - exactly what we need and if he starts every match he gains consistency.

Rojo is not, nor ever had been, good enough to play for our club. Dreadful player and needs to go and play in Spain or Italy with Pogba.

05 Dec 2018 23:12:25
Rojo needs to leave he's never been good enough, rash, error pro e an injury prone.

Herrera should start with Fred. We look better without pogba. Says a lot for him.

Rashfords played well last few games.

06 Dec 2018 10:06:03
If rashford's name is one of the 1st on the team sheet because of his running/ work rate the Lingard shd be there as well because his work rate is even better and his runs are smarter ;)

05 Dec 2018 20:49:22
Ed01. - would it be possible to do a player profile on the dog that made a blinding goal line save in the Argentine third division match between Defoe sores de Belgrano de Villa Ramallo and Juventud Unida.

HAHA. thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I will add to the list to do just after I do the one on the dad who pushed his kid into the save...}

05 Dec 2018 21:56:01
Love it ed001.

What do our fans on here want?

Beat Arsenal and Jose stays - Agree
Lose to Arsenal and Jose goes - Disagree.

05 Dec 2018 13:48:12
Jose stays until it's cheap enough to sack him either way beast. Mourinho has had enough sly digs at Woodward that any other CEO would have kicked him out already. But his incompetence seems to know no bounds.

05 Dec 2018 13:58:27
I want him gone he’s had long enough and it’s getting worse. He’s not totally to blame as the club is rotten from top to bottom at the moment.

05 Dec 2018 14:16:25
Anyone who wants their club to lose doesn't deserve to be called a fan in my opinion.

05 Dec 2018 14:19:09
Sorry, Beast. I'm no fan of him, as you know, but I could never bring myself to hope we lose a game before it's been played. However a loss tonight and against Liverpool, would probably mean time up in my eyes.

05 Dec 2018 14:45:36
Well said GDS and Noucamp. I could never wish for us to lose just because we want a manager sacked.

05 Dec 2018 15:10:15
We all know that one day Mourinho will be gone. So I’d take the win.

05 Dec 2018 15:52:42
Never wish us to lose. Even if it means Jose stays. He will be gone soon it’s inevitable. But I never ever want to see us lose at home to arsenal. I used to hate them when we were competing for titles all those years ago. I would ngl want to give them the satisfaction of beating them on our turf. Nobody should ever come to our ground and have an easy day out. I know old Trafford is not currently a fortress, but we need to get back to the times where teams where beat before they even took the pitch.

05 Dec 2018 16:33:14
Woodward's a bean counter he won't sack Jose until its more financially beneficial to do so under whatever clauses are in the contract. Jose should ritualistically slaughter a puppy on the pitch but as long as there's a mathematical chance of top 4 he's safe. In an ideal world both would go.

05 Dec 2018 17:18:13
The day I become a guy that wants my club to lose a game so that a manager loses his job, the club doesn't deserve me.

GDS
You wrote what I was thinking. Fully agree. If you want us to lose tonight to get Jose the sack then sorry you are not a fan, you are a glory hunter, a scumbag even imo.

{Ed025's Note - im with you deependra..

05 Dec 2018 17:24:51
Scumbag is a bit much deeps but i'm with you and gds.

Would people want their parents to die so they can get their inheritence? that's scum.

05 Dec 2018 17:47:24
Would never wish for a loss and ever the optimist, just put a couple of bets on.

If, If the worst happens and we did lose the next couple it could end up being squeaky bumtime from now till may hope to god we don't . 2-1 to us with tony grabbing a birthday present off the gunners back 4;)

05 Dec 2018 17:49:05
There might not be a fan on here who wants Jose gone as much as I do. I might have said on occasion that I never wanted him and I have been known to be critical of him when its deserved in my opinion. However, I have never wanted the team to lose, ever. And I never will do, even if a loss meant the end of Jose at United. I want us to win every game, I want us to at the very least finish top four this season as I hate the idea of not being in the UCL next season. I'm a firm believer that if you give him enough rope Jose will hang himself, there is no need to wish the team to lose.

05 Dec 2018 17:55:29
Definitely a win; never ever want us to lose, regardless of the situation.

05 Dec 2018 18:20:02
There are 8 thumbs down on the OP (according to my phone at least) .

I think this proves the point ed002 has been making for a long time now, our club has a "toxic fanbase" although these people shouldn't actually be considered fans. They aren't supporters of the team, they are glory hunters at best.

05 Dec 2018 18:33:17
Jesus. This is what our 'fans' have become.

{Ed025's Note - not all of them angel, a small minority who have made a snap judgement based on wanting the manager out, im sure in the light of day they will regret what they said there and if not then do you really want supporters like that mate?..

05 Dec 2018 18:55:15
Same here, Cookyman. Wee sneaky fiver on 2-1 to us. Should mean we'll lose 3-0 now 😁.

05 Dec 2018 19:02:16
I have a good friend of 40 0dd years who is a city fan, he always reminds me, that no matter what he stuck by his team, even when they were in the old 3rd division playing Gillingham.

Some of our fans need a bit of perspective

Yes it is entertainment and like other entertainment, if you don't enjoy don't go, but just like your favourite band put out a rubbish album every now and again, they still remain your favourite band and you hope for a better one next time.

Same with football, having a bad stretch, but we have been spoiled, and remember the good times, to tide us over until the next great album is made.

Wanting your team to lose so the manager is sacked. that is a daft hypothesis. if you don't like it, go choose a new favourite band.

05 Dec 2018 16:51:29
Never want the team to lose. Jose will be gone soon enough. I don't think any manager will get us into top 4 this year i'd rather dump 7 or 8 players and let the new man start without the hassle of having to get rid of the players at the start of next season.
Darmian valencia young rojo smalling jones fellaini mata matic herrera pogba any 7 of those should be sold imo. If the new manager has to play these guys 30 games a season we won't succeed he won't succeed because they are either past their best or not making a significant enough a contribution to justify their existence.

05 Dec 2018 16:53:51
Beat arsenal and then Jose gets the sack. Would be a great day.

05 Dec 2018 17:28:22
Scumbag little bit harsh.

05 Dec 2018 19:22:59
Man City never experienced the glory days in the same way United did, so their low status was less of a shock to the system. They did maintain crowds of around 28,000 though even in the old 3rd. Mind you, United average around 47,800 when we down to the 2nd.

The toxic fans are largely a function of the rise of social media and a malignant press. In the old days no one really got a say. In any event United fans have every right to be disappointed by our current poor performance given that the success of the club was built on their loyalty as they packed into OT week in week out, especially in the days when gates were the main source of income. And considering our levels of cash inflow it's scandalous how poor we've been doing.

I don't condone toxic fans, but then I'm not a fan of the toxic ownership and Board either.

05 Dec 2018 19:25:12
Win against the gooners!

Never want us to lose! Unless it stops the scousers winning the league.

05 Dec 2018 22:23:47
I would like the team I support to win. But then again, I’m crazy.

06 Dec 2018 09:55:28
noucamp- very close mate- still i backed 2-2 and martial to score so I'm a happy red this morning.

05 Dec 2018 10:14:08
