An interesting stat:

Man Utd have managed more corners at home this season than they have away from Old Trafford.

Make of that what you will.

Lambeau, I actually have no idea what to make of that stat. It's bizarre

3. The worlds most expensive footballer has been awful to bad. Needs to improve.

If the table was based on the number of Armenians bought from Dortmund then we'd be top.

I'm hoping the fact that I avoided saying the amount of corners we've had a Old Trafford suggests that we would win the league if corners were goals, and that should've had 27 more points at home in games we've dominated the corners stats, will be enough of a deviation from his approach to get me off the hook.

FIFA should really create a 5 corners = a penalty rule

Superb article which is factual

Minor our 'cup final' against Chelsea we haven't played any consistent good football since the turn of the year.
Basically we've been average to poor.

Also add to your list that Jose's squad rotation has been poor.

why would any of this make you depressed? annoyed/frustrated/fed up for sure, but depressed?

mkhi and pogba certainly need to improve, that's a given, but they've shown enough to suggest that with a full season - and, in pogba's case, a full pre-season - under their belts they can do.

as for goalscoring, i posted this curiosity on another thread: away from home, united have scored more goals (27) than spurs, 1 less than pool, and 2 less than chelsea, with games in hand on all of them (city lead the way on 38).

which is odd no?

I can think of many more reasons for being depressed than sitting 5th in the premier league

yeah, that's my stance too...and i'm sure that MU52 doesn't really get depressed about it.

jose for sure is, these days, a miserable old sod, but that impacts my day less than whether the sun is shining (it isn't) or i burned my toast (i didn't).

Man Utd have made progress. A little better attacking chemistry + better finishing next season and they'll do great.

posted on 1/5/17

Can provide some more;

8. Not replacing Bastian and Morgan
9. Reliance on Fellaini
10. Negative subs
11. Negative tactics
12. Unsettling players
13. Insulting the intelligence of the second coming of Wayne Bridge in public
14. Over Reliance on a 35 year old midfielder
15. Approaching every big game with a negative mentality. Only big game he seemed to care about was beating his former employer
16. Asking injured players to play when they were injured then criticising them for not risking it

I could go on.

I like your article. It's theme is exactly like the one I wrote about winning percentages.

Some people will not get it until you spell it out in capital letters.

A lot of these people for some share their disappointment and anger with other managers but for some reason do not accord others the same privileges

Do you really want United to win the European League more than you want Chelsea to win the FA Cup?

posted on 1/5/17

I'm not depressed really, it was a riposte to the positive article. Just showing it's easy to pick points for and against. We have a good chance in the Europa precisely because we are so hard to beat.

I di think next year will be better. But the defence of the manager/team is a little unrealistic. We are nowhere near perfect, better to just admit it.
Jose has a great record and will almost certainly improve us and win things.

If both happened, I'd celebrate United winning Europa more. I'd celebrate Chelsea winning the PL the most though.

as far as i can see every single poster on here admits that we are far from perfect.

but for some reason the debate, that started as a simple "reasons to be cheerful", always ends up with people accusing anyone with a tiny bit of positivity as drinking the kool aid/succumbing to the cult of jose/breakfasting on the contents of jose's rectum.

every single time.

some posters can't find anything good to say - jose plays rashford a lot, he doesn't count as an LVG discovery; get to a EL semi, doesn't count, weak opposition; win the milk cup, doesn't count, joke cup, and worth less than the FA Cup LVG won and so on and so on.

At least mex has had the decency to admit that he hates jose more than he loves united, but some people on here seem so happy to wallow in misery on a permanent basis that you wonder why they bother.

So you're more of a football neutral with an affection for United and Chelsea, than you are an actual fan?

I'm the same with Huddersfield. Like to see them do well, but if they were playing United they'd briefly lose my affection.

posted on 1/5/17

I'm not a neutral, I 100% support Chelsea and whoever mourinho is managing. I support Chelsea because they're my club who I've followed my whole life. I support mourinho because I admire him. Jose mourinho is the man who will become the greatest manager ever.
