Busby agreed

even if Jose played Rashford up top yesterday from the start

You cant replace a misfiring Zlatan (tbf had a great start) with a rooney who hasnt been firing for a couple of seasons and expect goals galore
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue is, our other wingers are Lingard, Young and Depay.

However, I'd put my money on us performing better by simply playing players int heir right positions.

No way would Rashford and/ or Martial have not scored up top against Burnley. This comes back to Jose not trusting youth imo.

Rashford in particular comes to life the moment he steps foot in the opponents box, yet we still stick him out wide every game. His last goal came from a 10 minute stint up front, and won us a game, hasn't been up front since.

I still think Jose needs more time but the reason that our start to the season has been so frustrating is that Jose, of all new managers, should have been expected to hit the ground running. I.e. more so than Pep, Klopp et al.

Jose is not new to this league and he should have known United's squad pretty well before he took over.

On top of that he has known since last Christmas that he would be taking the United job and, by his own admission, he got all the players he wanted nice and early in the transfer window.

Also, Jose was renowned for starting the season well at Chelsea, so much so that SAF had to change his approach to preseason in order to meet the challenge.

With all this in mind, Jose could not really have had a more disappointing start to the season. That said, I will reserve judgement until Christmas. The next 4-6 weeks is key.

I agree. I think we'll win the league cup and go far in the Europa.

That and top 4 would be a good first season
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously.... how in the name of Ricky Martin do you think that's going to happen

we've been awful in the Europa bar a half hour or so at home to Fener... haven't won in over 9 euro aways... but we'll go far?

and our league form is abysmal... we're adrift of top 4, have barely played well all season bar the odd spell in games (and the freak game of Burnley.... who are shiiite)... what exactly do you see that makes you confident of top 4 .... especially given every other post you make is hammering the quality of our players in an attempt to deny and deflect any criticism of Jose

Young is garbage

Carrick and bs are both past it and shouldn't even be at the club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats nonsense

Young has been praised by LVG and Jose

MC and BS are still better than what we see at what are mid and lower clubs
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't care who's praised young he's a dreadful footballer and has been chit since he arrived.

He should never of been bought. He's just about a PL standard player

Bs and mc are both Old and well pastbthere used by dates carrick should of been replaced years ago and bs should never of been bought.

How I'd imagine Klop pwould line up your current squad

-----------DDG--------
Young rigth back lad-----Smalling--Bailly--Blind
----------Carrick--------
----Pogba------Miki
Lingard---Rash---MArtial
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can see why Liverpool get criticised defensively if Klopp has 3 of his 4 defenders lined up sat in the stand...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
no no the young right back lad is just huge

Because I've seen signs that we can improve.

I've said our players aren't great but that's in respect to a title challenge.

We have enough to go far in Europe. Have I said we'll win the CL with this squad? Nope. I've said we can go far in the Europa. I think this set of players will take it more seriously once they reach the knockout stages.

As for the league, we have had a tough start. Our top 4 rivals still have to go to Liverpool and Chelsea. We've been.

You're off your fecking rocker Robb.

Only signs so far are of an implode, this reminds me of the Moyes season. Better yet, Chelsea last season.

The substitution for Pogba was all wrong yesterday for me.

What was Jose expecting bringing on Zlatan and dropping Rooney to play the Pogba role.

Mate, you're a drama queen. I should know. We can smell our own.

Against Stoke, City and Burnley I saw plenty of signs of how well we can play. I'm sure we can keep improving.

If anyone on here genuinely hasn't seen some signs of optimism then tbh I'm shocked.

They are there if you look.

"I've said we can go far in the Europa. "

I'd love to know what this is based on?

We were destroyed yesterday, could have been 4 or 5. The likes of Spurs, Basel, Napoli, Benfica, Porto, Lyon, even City could be joining us in Europa.

re the wingers. young can play right or left side as can Martial

furthermore rashford can interchange with martial and young

Its not always ideal with the likes of depay struggling to find his feet etc but we have options

LVG got dogs abuse and often rightly so but when he got the injuries he bought in the players for those positions from the youth.

Jose said the players didn't seem up for it and he was furious

He won't make that mistake again and the players certainly won't approach a knock out game with Lyon the same way they would a not exactly must win game.against Fenerbahce

===============================

Robb I like ya but you're cracking up a bit.

How has the first ten games been tough in comparison to anyone else? I don't get that.

It would seem that Busby is taking the position of chief 'biitch' this season.

What a woman

We had to play Liverpool and Chelsea away in the space of 6 days with a Europa game in between.

No, its not been the hardest start in history but it has been a bit awkward at times.

Taking your mantle from last season.

I am not moaning, I am saying it how it is, have since the day Jose came.

I hope I am wrong, I really do. I actually expected us to have a great couple of seasons before the mess began.

Problem is Mourinho likes a big man up front. That's why he's picked Zlatan ahead of Rashford. IMO, Rashford would be far more effective.
