It wasn’t Erik’s fault for the awful finishing and awful officiating but that 2nd half was all too familiar.
He has to go while the season is still salvageable.
Sacked in the morning?

I don't disagree with Rosso that it could well be a long process results-wise. Having said that though I would quite like to see United entertain me and look like they're moving forward.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well yes. United have always been kind of 'obliged' to entertain supporters in Old Trafford (and those who pay TV subcriptions from home) that pay to watch games, since Busby days. Previously United more often than not always had a squad of players and coach/manager with a style of play that could play entertaining football and win. So in this current crisis, United have to balance that by chucking them a bone occassionally and try winning games ,dirty' whatever it takes. Coming away seeing your team win a game is far more rewarding (and bodes well for the next game) than watching them regularly panic and chit the bed and not win games because they are not capable of or dont understand or dont agree with or cant be arzed, (*delete as appropriate) to collectively do what the manager is asking of them.

I think the problem we're having at present is that we're not having either on a consistent basis!

“Apparently Zirkzee wasn't an ETH signing either. It was an INEOS led transfer.”
No signing now should be the managers choice, that’s not how we are supposedly run. He also wasn’t necessarily bought to be an immediate starter, he’s a young player with lots of potential and available for a decent fee. No issues at all about signing him because we should always be on the look out for these types of signings but we also need more ready made players which we don’t have.

That was the point I was making. Whoever it was should be fired out of a cannon. He's nowhere near good enough to play for us. I'm not even sure he's better than than Delap who Ipswich signed from City.
We have signed too many crap players and he's just the latest one. A player with a 1 in 4 record for Bologna isn't the type of forward we should be looking at. The PL is a step up so it's no wonder he looks completely out of his depth.
In fairness to Mazraoui and De Ligt they have looked better but again they have come from Bayern with bigger reputations so it's understandable.
Hes probably the only Utd player I ever wrote off before he even kicked a ball. A massively underwhelming signing and sadly yet again it's proving to be the case.

Zirkzee has assists in his last two games!

A lot of other teams aren't littered with world class players, but they still manage to play with a flow and look good on the eye. They seem to be together, playing for the manager - of course they don't win every week, but everyone is singing from the hymn sheet.
It doesn't seem to matter who we have in our starting 11, we just look like utter crap most of the time.
It's just been building up and up over umpteen months - I really don't get how we can look so bad. It's the same coach with the vast majority of the same players, I'm not sure what they expect to change.

You thought we looked like utter crap yesterday?
Granted the only PL games I really watch are United’s, but I thought the first half yesterday was one of the best halves I’ve seen of any side all season.

Great first half despite the finishing.
Facking awful second half.

We need to get rid of 25 players and referees and then it is salvageable. Garnacho would struggle to get into a conference league side with his finishing. Zirkzee and Rashford as well as Antony is the same.
