Terrible result and a terrible preformance a lot of people saying we are going in the right direction but I don't see it we only missed out on top 4 last year and sacked the leg my question is if we don't win the europa league so Jose still be there next year as far as I can see we are not much better than last year.
1.) 07 May 2017 19:42:56
I think we played like a team trying not to try too hard.
Very little enthusiasm. trying to conserve energy.
It's almost as if the team has a really important semi final second leg to play this week. almost mind yoy.
2.) 07 May 2017 20:00:36
Last year was lvg second year in charge. If we're in this position next season yes. Give time.
3.) 08 May 2017 01:40:40
I really do not understand anybody who says it is no better than last year, I presume people are judging it on results and not watching the games? It is like chalk and cheese to last season in my opinion.

I could get slaughtered for this but we are in fifth position because we are in the main a very average team when you look at the players in our starting 11 today with the exception of de gea n bailly the rest are average at best I can't see how any of them would get into the spurs team. We are a long way from where we want to be and with de gea possibly leaving we could be in for a similar season next year unless Jose can do wonders in the transfer window.

We are where we deserve to be if you look at the table. We are no more than a top 6 side.
Some of our passing from week to week is poor, its slow, often sideways. We don't score enough goals, our crossing is generally poor and we have no decent corner taker and hardly anyone who can take a good free kick.
We have the odd game of high intensity, we have a few good individuals and we are hard to beat. We rarely look like scoring more than 2 goals at a push and stating the obvious if we can't beat the likes of mid table and bottom 6 sides at home then you don't finish top 4
That adds up to a top 6 side. Not really a big mystery to it.
Celta Vigo wil fancy their chances over 2 legs, and they are no worse that WBROM, STOKE, SWANSEA BURNLEY or Hammers.

Fantastic result and performance I thought Herrera was immense. Nothing against Ashley young who was brilliant today but I would have give Herrera the arm band.

Great to get the win today and to see rashford score anyone know why de gea n Valencia were not in the squad.
1.) 09 Apr 2017 19:59:42
Valencia had a bad game against west brom.
Jose said him and Rojo are tired. Valencia was rested for the Everton game and also for this match. I think he's not fully fit or has a knock and is being saved for the Europa and Chelsea games. We all know how much running he does, and he would be extremely essential for us in the next 3 games.
2.) 09 Apr 2017 20:00:03
De gea has a slight problem - Jose.
3.) 09 Apr 2017 20:09:35
DDG with small injury appaz not sure on Toni.
4.) 10 Apr 2017 11:49:51
Ddg won't play Thursday.
05 Apr 2017 10:14:56
While I thought we were poor last night I still think our bad results are down to us not taking our chances. WE had 4 or 5 good chances but missed or hit the woodwork I think the players confidence is low after the last few seasons and it's affecting our finishing.
1.) 05 Apr 2017 11:08:33
So we are to believe that zlatan's bad finishing and pogba's insistence to hit the woodwork rather than between the posts is down to our last few seasons, you are really scraping the bottom to defend jose here my friend. People were quick to put any and every blame on lvg, it seems the standards have suddenly changed haven't they.
2.) 05 Apr 2017 12:43:57
Think the difference is that United wouldn't have even had a shot, nevermind hit the post, under lvg.
3.) 05 Apr 2017 13:00:51
Common sense, people were on the back of LVG because we would have 2 shots per game under him. Jose can't take responsibility for constant poor finishing and missed chances. They players have to take the blame for the lack of goals. Think you need a name change.
4.) 05 Apr 2017 13:11:54
Irishred, Commonsense. Our bad finishing is nothing to do with the positions we've finished in the last 3 seasons or Jose being manager.
It's something that needs working n more in training and it's more down to bad luck than any manager or league position. What a strange couple of things to blame it on.
5.) 05 Apr 2017 13:18:00
Agreed Stand. The finishing is the worst I've seen of a United side in years. Even the 70s teams finished better than these lot. Aren't we leading the stats for hitting the woodwork. More than any team in Europe.
Also, shots per game stats are the 3rd best in the league.
Did Zlatan not score a perfectly good goal which was wrongly disallowed?
6.) 05 Apr 2017 13:38:23
why is that stand, i get it if we could blame only ibrahimovic or pogba for their bad finishing but everyone has been guilty of poor finishing this season, everyone be it mata, martial, rashford, rooney did not just turn into to bad finishers over night did they, much of the blame must go to the coaching staff for not sorting this out and by extension the guy who heads the coaching staff in this case mourinho. Also i don't solely blame mourinho for this as individual players also have to take most of the responsibility for their bad finishing, my post was more a tongue in cheek comment regarding OP's blaming lvg and moyes for our bad finishing this season.
7.) 05 Apr 2017 14:32:49
That was partly the issue tho CSM, everyone is to quick to jump on the negative nelly bandwagon. I agree we've been poorer of late but we can't keep slating the manager or calling for change yearly, none of us know what it takes to manage United, he's clearly got a big job on his hands that's going to take a few windows, let the man do his job, get his own players in who can implement what he wants on the pitch as there is an alarming number of players at the club who should not be, who don't posses what it takes to implement Jose's wishes, who are quite frankly not good enough, but in the meantime let's get behind the manager and the squad, not be on their backs like past seasons, this season was never going to be easy no matter how much we spent due to how much we mispent in previous years.
8.) 05 Apr 2017 14:46:26
The positive is fine margins are what separate us from being challenging.
The number of draws we have had is concerning but with upgrades this summer we should expect better chance conversion and better defending.
I personally don't think Rashford is good enough at the moment and needs a loan next season.
One thing I noticed last night is off the ball movement is very static and people making runs either to create space or to show for the ball is low. Only Jesse Lingard seemed to show tempo and movement.
I also thing the front are slow to press and we give the opposition an easy game.
If we can upgrade in some key areas we will be fine next season but we are going to hit a trigger point soon where Europa is priority.
9.) 05 Apr 2017 16:05:12
Chances are up on the LVG years, but the style of football has been depressingly similar. Sideways and backwards.
10.) 05 Apr 2017 16:41:31
Stevie,
Do you actually believe that? Go and have a look at some games from last season and then look at the game from last night, it's like chalk and cheese.
11.) 05 Apr 2017 17:06:14
Oh, come on, GDS. Are you seriously telling me, that apart from the odd game here and there, that we've been enjoyable to watch for the most part? Last night just highlighted how slow and predictable our tactics are. Two holding midfielders at home to the mighty West Brom? Bringing on 6 defenders to shore up a lead at home against another mighty mid-table team? I don't even know why I'm surprised, tho. Yes, Jose is a winner, and I hope he comes good, but, like LVG, his football has never been good to watch. And like LVG, I'm starting to worry that we've got Jose as his powers are waning.
12.) 05 Apr 2017 17:49:34
to be honest Jose summed it up months ago, how he wished he started with zero instead of inheriting a team from LVG. however some of Jose's tactical decisions are baffling.
