Chelsea is a proof of how a proper manager can make a difference.
Same team with different manager with a total different result.

Their player morale is low after the lost to Arsenal

Anyway Rashford is injured again

Next match FA cup against Leicester also tough match, Rashford still call up for international game. I think with Rashford in doubt, i think Diallo might has his debut soon on RW, moving James to LW temporarily.

The Red Devils have this week struck up a five-year deal worth a massive £235m - the biggest shirt sponsorship deal in Premier League history - with remote software company TeamViewer.

kayu really power

wow suddenly its Martial fault for all this poor performance from United.. guess he's in charge of the training drills for defending set-pieces.. maybe it is also his fault that the true no 9 striker Cavani also cannot perform well in this United team 

the fact that even the experienced Cavani also struggling says it all.. the connection between midfield to forwards is dead.. bring on Haaland also wont change a thing.. United play is so predictable, it is so easy to cut off supply from midfield to forward players..

basic defensive problems haven't rectify since last season.. its Martial's fault?
yes Martial's performance is way down compared to last season.. guess what, so does Rashford, Greenwood, Fred and Bruno.. who's fault is that? cmon man, u know who's fault it is

yeah, if look at the stats alone sure they maybe improving.. but by watching, nah they regressing.. if Martial take all those penalties that he won, Bruno stats wont look so good and hey what the heck the lazy Martial suddenly got more goals under his belt..

Werner haven't score for Tuchel's Chelsea, no problem for them.. plus they only conceded two goals since that man takeover.. how about that? on paper, their defensive line is better than United? hell no, no way..

well coached team like City dont need no striker either, they been scoring for fun.. so yeah to put the blame solely on Martial, i fully disagree

yeah, maybe they are in honeymoon period now.. we will see in the future how it goes.. City on the other hand are not in their honeymoon period though.. and they are well on course to topple United's Treble achievement..
let face it, the former Cardiff manager is just not good enough.. at Molde, 66 win in 118 matches.. United, 76 win in 137 matches.. that is his level

if he dont lead United to win the Europa this season, his highest achievement with United will be top of the league with 6 points clear for a week or two.. and yes of course the ever so great "Beat Pep" trophy

Since we are talking about striker performance, this is eeriely similar to a couple of seasons ago. Just that the name then was Lukaku. Lazy, poor first touch, can't beat his man, can't score. I wonder how Lukaku is doing at Inter now?

To judge forwards like Martial, will he score more goals if he went to Barcelona or Juventus?

Italian League. In 2 seasons, Lukaku has 85 apprearances and 59 goals.
That's top striker stats.

He looked shit for us. He's top for them.
When our bad players suddenly look good when they are not with us, perhaps we should think...wait, was it really them or was it us?

Herrera is another. About average for us. But at PSG, very good.
Look at Lingard this season for West Ham. It just seems like the moment they get out of a United shirt, their stats get a +10 bonus.

I am guessing if VDB moved to Barcelona, he'd be worth at least 80M.
I am guessing if Martial went to Juve and became the main striker, I'd put money down for at least 20 goals a season.

Then why do players come to our club and suddenly go shit?
Perhaps we are the wrong fit. What is our team identity in terms of style of play when signing those players? When I say Manchester United, what comes to mind?

I regularly hear the people at the club refer to us as : United DNA. Hard work. Passion. That's all a load of horseshit in footballing terms.
Let's try below.

Barcelona : Possession based one touch football. Cryuff influence.
Real Madrid : We buy the best players in the world. Star individuals.
Ajax : Possession based one touch football. Cryuff influence.
Bayern Munich : Most efficient football, German style. Best run club.
Manchester City : Tactical innovation with bags of money.
Liverpool : Gegenpress.

Manchester United? Right now I'm lost on our footballing philosophy. 6 at the back. We want to counter, even if we are playing Newcastle at home. That's true David Moyes underdog style of 2014.

I'm guessing we don't know how we want to play hence the club doesn't know what players to buy.
There are players we see and immediately say....that player is so good he will end up at Barcelona. We automatically know it won't be Real, perhaps it is because the player is a highly technical pass & move player.

We end up buying players that look good within the systems of their respective clubs, and they fall apart at our club.
Leicester laughing all the way to the bank.

oh herrera, what a pity.. the chap was playing for the badge somemore

valid point as well that the team is set-up to save a job
appreciate ur positivity.. if only we have more fans that think that way

indeed it's a difficult and never ending argument.. every point is valid to a certain extent.. guess just have to agree to disagree.. and that resulted in what i've mentioned before, the fans are all split now.. u have Ole in Ole out.. or even Glazers in Glazers out.. during SAF, we're all one headed and only wish to destroy any teams that stand in our way of glory.. majority won't be calling to sack SAF i suppose?

pardon me for the reminiscence..

so to continue with current issues, it is still somewhat vague whether we can get the players Ole want in.. a big IF we do get the players in, can Ole efficiently utilise them to take us to another level? what certain is Ole still hasn't shown so far to to reach a level of certain Pep or Klopp or SAF, who always seems to be able to mould a team in a style of play they want..

if by buying players solely to improve the team for Ole, fine by me and i certainly wish him to be able to succeed.. but by then if it's still huff and puff, i agree as well it's fair to say, times up

before all those, we still in a chance for a trophy this season.. if succeed, the whole narrative may have change

we have a consistent CB already..

cant say Ole wasnt supported. Maguire + AWB - CB and RB. maybe can just get Trippier.. even got the call up to england before AWB.

still think VDB is not cam but a 8.

we just need to find our own Makelele. after he left, the RM galacticos crumble also despite starstudded

maguire is a good purchase as he doesnt get injured. we buy him not to upgrade the defence but to at least not let the defence goes injured (smalling and jones) but for 80m he should have done better.

look at his replacement, soyuncu, seems like a steal.. and making him the captain... whats behind that decision?

British squad numbering based on the 4-4-2.
RW is usually 7. LW usually is 11.

But here they were playing a 4-3-3, so Sterling got 10 instead of 11.
