C'mon United, huge game today. Positivity Plus Please.
Unfair comment that, don't think any true fan would be happy if we were to plummet.
I would also be tempted to call the 'told you so' brigade to the 'reality' brigade as right now we are struggling.
Yes the team are trying to play football and build from the back though what Sporle was thinking against Celtic in the 3rd min with that pass I have no idea, but it probably stems from fact that teams have sussed we have nobody up front who can hold the ball and other teams are pressing us high up the pitch and forcing mistakes.
Meanwhile we have a number of powderpuff players in defence, midfield and up front.
For example you can't say any of Sporle, Appere or Harkes put in a challenge for Rogic's goal last week.
Sporle is not a defender btw his positional sense is appalling, he was in a different post code as the man he was meant to be marking which led to Celtic's 3rd.

So on today and we need a positive performance as it's ***** we get one imo.
In the window we need to buy players who are strong on and off the ball, I understand those who defend Butch but that's not what we need, his style has now put the team under pressure as he will be targeted by the opposition

imo his time as a midfielder should be up.
