Abuse our own fans give our players on social media

--------------------------------------------------------------------
it's so easy for people to overreact on social media.
things written today are the same things said years ago but those people were only heard by a few people and sobered up the next day.

I'd also question as to why the op thinks the club is toxic?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s the impression I get just at the club at the moment.

Arguments amongst fans inside and outside the stadium. Yes I’ve been there and witnessed it
Fans cheering when they heard Lingard had been subbed

Pogba appearing that he doesn’t want to be at the club
Young not wanting to be at the club
Jones turning down a testimonial as he was concerned of the reaction from fans
Abuse our own fans give our players on social media
Ed Woodward
Glazers

Do you not feel it’s toxic at this moment in time?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I don't. I'd say the players are together, with the exception of Pogba obviously wanting out. But even then I'd be surprised if there is any I'll feeling to him within the squad. He appears to be well liked. Jones doesn't want the testimonial because he knows he doesn't deserve it. Young probably wants a chance to play abroad and to play regularly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And the reaction of the fans in the stadium?
The board?
Players wanting out?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already addressed the players wanting out. A few fans cheering when an underperforming player is subbed isn't a big deal. What about the board?

posted on 9/1/20

From what I've read the players that want out, other than Pogba, aren't first choice and want first team football. Rojo, Matic and Young are players most fans wanted shipped out (along with a few others, i.e. Jones).

SAF was apparently fuming the other night.

Not to worry. We’ll keep the perch nice and warm

you'll need to win the league 3 times before you can even start claiming to be on a perch.

not that it stops your deluded fan base tbh

It certainly doesn’t look a happy camp at the moment.

We've not been a happy camp majority of the time since SAF retired.

Why do we need to win the league 3 times to be on our perch?



I've seen some mental gymnastics on here in recent years but this one takes the cookie. We just win the Champions League, Super cup and are world champions. Meanwhile United are a certified Ropey league team and have missed out on Champions league football for 3 of the last 6 years and this year will be 4 of the last 7.

If we wrap up the league title then that's even higher than the perch saan.

Ermmm because when Fergie was talking about the “perch” I’m assuming he was referring to how many leagues each team had won.

You’ve been successful for one season, in fact even Arsenal have won more trophies than you in the last decade.

Carry on winning and you’ll reclaim it... 🀷🏽‍♂️

Why do you assume that?

Is Fergie now the authority on perches? What criteria did Fergie use to determine at what point Liverpool were knocked off?

When Fergie made that comment United were still nowhere near Liverpool's 18 titles and United have not got close to Liverpool's European trophy haul in all of Fergie's time.

Not being funny but if Liverpool are able to wrap up the league title this season (and who knows, we're still in the FA cup and CL) then I think it would be deluded to suggest Liverpool are not back on their perch.

To be fair to the guy, he gives 100% every time he plays yet still gets dogs abuse from people.

You can think people aren't good enough, whether it be Young, Jones, Ole etc... but don't abuse them for it every week. We're called supporters for a reason.

Agree. Especially the likes of those mentioned who actually put in 100%.

Of all the experienced players we have, Young has probably been the most professional of the lot.

I find it hard to believe even saf thought he'd win so many league titles without Liverpool winning 1 when he made that comment.

Giving 100% every time you play is an expectation, not something to squirt over someone on.

You've got to be pretty daft to even consider that this might be true. Whatever you think about Young as a player, he has always been very professional and tried his hardest for the team. His attitude is not in question for me. No way he says anything like this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How can you say that with certainty?

Koscielny was with us the same length of time you guys have had Young and went on strike in the Summer just to get away from Emery. Regardless of what you think of Kos, he was a loyal, top professional but still left like a cant at the very end so is it so wild to think Young is capable of doing the same?

I never said it was to be fair, but is being deemed not good enough a good reason to abuse someone?

I think it's more of a frustration with the club as much as anything. How did we get to a point a 34 year old Ashley Young is our rb/lb for 30 games a season?

Oh yeah I completely agree with that, it's not been good from the club
