We could be playing a team in the Scottish conference league and Jose will still set the team to play defensive low line hoof ball.

Since we are on the topic of "The Scottish Conference League" have a look at this video of Fort William FC, the whipping boys of The Highland League.

As far as United are concerned, for me the starting 11 we put out now won't make a difference. The squad is so entwined with Jose's negativity it won't make a difference.

this, every time we have a chance for a counter the players are literally falling over themselves trying to get into position as if they haven't had any training on how to transition
Just had a look at the rain and the thought of driving through the catastraphe that is Manchester’s road works and sent a text to my dad telling him I can’t be bothered going tonight. Good luck to anyone who bothers. Take a good book to read or something.

Nailed on 0-0 draw if we ever played them with Jose in charge.
Can't wait to get out in this lovely weather and walk to the tram stop tonight. Atmosphere will be buzzing on the ride in as we look forward to another magical night at OT
I miss feeling like that.
Might not go, just watch it somewhere local with a pint and some decent grub. Or stay at home and watch I'm a Celeb and follow the game on the match thread instead.
I'm going as they have charged me an arm and a leg by allocating me my 2 seats back.
And I am going to bloody well enjoy it!

You taking an iPad or something?
I would if I could get a signal... but its really hard to in the Fergie stand
If we fail to beat these guys, the manager and couple of players should be escorted out of Old Trafford.
and they wouldn't let me through the gate with a bag (unless its from the Magastore)
Scholsay
If we get beat tonight, which we wont... even teflon coated Jose would get sacked in the morning.
This is how he works.. he organises a win in between 2 bad results to keep him going

the problem with these games now is I can imagine jose spends hours tactically planning for this type of opposition making sure every player is in his position when we have the ball and when we don't have it, planning every 10min section of the match and scenario for what we would do if we went behind or ahead, where with fergie I can imagine not that it was a sign of disrespect but he would probably just say go out there and get the 3points and the players would deliver
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So very true. We're a shell of those days now.

I think that this has been a problem since Moyes took over to be fair. We should be going out in 75% of our games and just playing attacking football and imposing ourselves on the opposition. Too often we give our opponents too much respect and try to nullify their strengths first rather than playing to our strengths. Of course in the bigger games you need to be more tactical, but with our size and financial capabilities, there is no reason that we shouldn't have the players and the confidence to just overpower most opponents.

Can't agree more. We are the antithesis of Sir Alex's teams. Swagger has been replaced with "tactics" and bravado replaced with fear. Like the "good old days" before Alex, when we aspired to pinch a cup on a good year!
However in the 'good old days', before Fergie we still had plenty of swagger about our play and was a delight to pay and watch on the whole, regardless that we won feck all. I'd swap that right now.

Big fat Ron and the Docs sides were more often than not very good to watch.
Sexton and O'Farrell not so much.
Yes, Sexton was an advocate of Malcolm Alison and his obsession with Dutch 'Total' football. However he couldn't adapt it into the hurly burly of English Div 1 football at United. Hence the Sexton years were similar to LGVs. Lots of short sideways passing with little forward momentum and penetration . A bit of a bore fest.

That back 4 is tragic
................................
No more tragic than any other back four I could put out from our players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn’t say it was tragic. Ideally I’d have Bailly over Jones and that would be my preferred back VI.
We definitely need a couple of defenders though.

Matic and Fellaini in midfield with Fred. Pogba on the bench. Sanchez and Herrera not in the squad!

Christ. Let’s hope Fred thrives with some licence to get forward. Big chance for him tonight.
Beat them easily.
A last minute scrappy goal from Hoofman and a stellar save by your only decent player DDG.
Mid table quality meets a local club from Bern, scintillating stuff.

we'll run around for 10mins at the start with some hustle and bustle, not score then the game will drearily trudge along until we score a deflected goal mid 2nd half and then we'll hang on for dear life
