how much more of this sh173 do we have to put up with

[Zippity]

And there was me worrying about posting too negatively today.

And there was me worrying about posting too negatively today.

what positives under rafa do we have

apart from a few flags and hoodwinked geordies trying to tellme he is what the club need really????

why

he had the biggest spend in the fizzy and prem players from the season before and we failed to impress

he had full rign of players in the last window and we look completly disjointed

in fact i have never seen our squad look so poor

and its his squad

we cant defend
we cant score we cant create

he has had 2 seasons with most of thes eplayers

he has lost the ability to manage in this modern game

he is getting seriously out witted by the majority of managers

what he needs is a magicians cape instead of his fat waiters suit and a wand in his hand in replacement of his finger that he seems to point around the pitch
because he isnt producing any magic what so ever

Perspective: Paul Pogba alone (£89m) cost more than our entire starting XI today! (£75m)

We held our own in the first half.

First team to score there in the league this season.

5 shots on target.... they had two more...

Typical of you to just see the negatives...

OK, I watched that game today expecting to be blown off the park by MU, but I was pleasantly surprised by the effort we put in before the break, had we gone in at 0 - 1 I would have been amazed. After they took us apart in the second half I was looking for someone to pin the blame on but I really couldn't think of anyone who had played particularly badly enough to have lost us the game. We are what we are, a team that has been grossly under invested in over the last decade by an owner and back room boys who don't know their arses from their elbows. F*ck me, what else could Rafa have done today apart from maybe starting Mitro but I don't think that would have made much difference. I think if Rafa is given the funds in January we will be fine come the end of the season then forge on to better things next season.

That's a very good post- no-one was horrendous and as GED pointed out, Pogba cost more than our entire starting 11.

Different playing field never mind not a level one.

[waalsendmick]

pogba and lukaku cost the same as the sum total of our last 23 signings (every player from the last 5 transfer windows)

[Zippity]

Watching MotD and some of the quality on display is frightening.

Gonna take Amanda a couple of transfer windows to catch up with that, like.

so we may as well give up then

what value has rafa brought then

as he isnt improving any of the players
everyone keeps bleeting about what pogba cost etc
he has been out for weeks and still out shone outr lot

they never had to get out of second gear and could even afford the luxury of bringing back injured and players getting fit knowing we are no threat

in jose said rafa set it up to make it hard for them
but once we sorted that it becme easy

when you start a season defending and then realise you cant do that trying to get the players to then understand attacking isnt going to be easy

everyone says shelvey played well
i think we leek to many goals with him in the team

Well said.

We certainly didn't looked bad in the first half, in the 2nd their quality showed but you get what you pay for and they've paid a shed load more for their squad than we have.
