I feel like I have seen that exact game

Sort of makes a mockery of the new song we sing

Jose got us playing the way that we should

Wouldn't be angry if the only forwards on our books we kept for next season are Rashford n Mata.

The rest have been garbage.

Nothing else to be said really.

We haven't seen that game 15 times this season.

We've been better than today in quite a few of our home games, especially our earlier ones but we haven't finished our chances off.

In others, more so since the turn of the year, we've had games similar to today where up front we just seem devoid of any real attacking connection.

Fatigue is obviously an issue which has been compounded by how inadequately the squad has been managed throughout the season. Not to mention we let three players go in January and didn't bring anybody in.

Our season is in serious danger of being derailed.

Zlatan! No Target man to hold the ball!

Even missed Fellaini, so we couldnt go direct!

Zlatan - Gone you'd think.

Rooney - Going you'd hope.

Martial - Definiely on thin ice for me

Mkhitaryan - Give him benefit of first season but he's seriously underwhelmed in the league for me.

Mata - Had a good season for me. Fairly consistent.

Rashford - Played out of position most of season due to Zlatan. Still looks a real star in the making.

Lingard - Lucky lucky boy to be playing so many games for us. He occasionally scores a worldy but other than those seldom strikes he's constantly not good enough.

Our entire attack needs replacing almost.

Letting both Schweiny and Schneiderlin go, given that Jose has no faith in TFM in midfield, was a big mistake for me. We are far too light in the centre of the park.

Up top I think everyone expected more from the forwards this season. Only Zlatan and Mata, both of whom have been excellent for me, have delivered with any degree of consistency.

And despite the fact Rooney has been lambasted once again (deservedly based on today's performance, granted), he's contributed more to the bottom line this season than the likes of Mkhi and Martial.

Key point:

Don't let players go if you don't have enough trust in the younger players at your disposal.

I don't think Jose has a leg to stand on when he talks about fatigue in a diminished squad given that a) he has let players covering key positions leave without replacing them, and b) he has talented youngsters at his disposal that he has had plentiful opportunities to play.

He hasn't used his squad wisely really. Letting Schneiderlin AND Schweinsteger go and no bringing in a player in Jan (even a stop gap one) was a huge mistake with the amount of games it looked like we'd have.

If we don't get CL football.....he's going to get it from all angles.

posted on 30/4/17

It's easy to say that Jose should have kept them but Morgan begged to go and being that he was our 5th choice CM and could get us a decent fee he was rightly allowed to go.

And Bastian was past it and no use to us at all.

Maybe a new CM could have helped but no one foresaw this injury crisis happening.

And besides, we're not exactly light on CMs now.

We have our first choice 4 to choose from in the Europa on Thursday

posted on 30/4/17

P Jones gets on my nerves so much and he didn't even play today. These period are exactly when we need him and he's never fit.

Smalling isn't as injury prone but still misses too many games for me.

Rojo was one of those things and can't be helped.

Rumours now that Bailly isn't that bad and could be okay even for Vigo. Bloody hope so.

--------------------------------------------------

No he doesn't.

He's also got some people believing players should suddenly make miraculous recoveries from injury now.

I've seen people calling out Smalling and Jones without actually knowing the extent of their injuries.

Jones was rushed back from injury earlier in the season. I think if he felt he was able to play he would.

I just hope Mata hasn't been rushed back too soon and doesn't break down in one of the upcoming games.

Seriously, Robb?

We play every other week (and not often enough) with three CMs. We have four in the squad that Jose will play, including a 35 year old in his last season. That doesn't add up.

And of course people predicted a raft of injuries towards the end of the season. I, and others, have been saying it has been coming for months.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you give any examples of squads who rotate between 5/6 CMs every other week?

These people are human beings who want to play every week.

Jose said this week he wanted to keep Morgan but he and Bastian wanted to go and be first choice elsewhere.

It's a shame we don't play another league game this month.

Playing catch up and being in so many competitions could have its downside, alternatively if we keep on getting results, momentum could see us through and we could be in for a really exciting end to the season.

Just hope fatigue and injuries don't derail us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That final point is an important one.

We've got a number of important players (Pogba, Ibra, Herrera, Valencia primarily) who will be suffering from a degree of muscle wear and fatigue at this point.

Losing any of those players for more than a few games, Pogba and Ibra in particular, could have a very serious impact on how our run in goes.

Fine. Then bring in a replacement to cover or promote some youngsters to take the pressure off.

But we have all 4 CMs fit and available this Thursday.

It hasn't been a lack of depth in CM that has cost us.

I seem to remember you criticising our former manager for not foreseeing injuries.

Do you actually believe things you write?

Jose isnt some kind of fecking messiah who can do no wrong, hes fecked up numerous times, this being one of them.

No arguments here whatsoever

He's had some bad luck and has also caused some of his problems

No need to make excuses

I criticised him for not bringing in more strikers. And I was right as he went into the season very light.

It's not the same comparison with CMs post- January. We've hardly been light at all.

Robb

We play 3 cm every game and we have 4 to chose from.

One is 35 and cant play every game

One is fellaini who is that fecking dense, is going to miss the next 3 league games because of his stupidity.

Onr long term injury and we would have been fecked.

You cant play 3 in midfield every week and only have 4 to chose from

Lots of teams play 3 CMs. How many CMs does any PL squad have?
