Someone's snappy.
My mistake - well his scoring record is still pretty impressive. Same as Rooney after his first 25 games (12)

I'm so glad when we need a goal we have Fellaini on the bench instead of Martial, he's been a big difference

Last 4 PL games at home: DDDD.
11 points off top, 8 points off 4th. Season over.
We've failed to beat West Ham, Burnley and Stoke at home this season.

11 points off the pace, I will take that at this stage of the season. 
What must be so frustrating as a UTD fan is that you have the team, manager, fans etc to really mount a title challenge. It just seems Mourinho hasn't got a clue what your best 11 is.
Rojo, Jones, Darmien and Blind all need to be shown the door IMO. I love Schweinsteiger but what the hell is Mourinho doing - needs to make his mind up. For me, you have Herrera, Carrick and Schneiderlin, he's not necessary. Should move him onto backroom staff as I'm sure he's a great character to have around the training ground (I expect he will want to go back to Bayern though but depends on what Ana Ivanovic wants to do now he's a married man)
Start playing Carrick (obviously he will need replacing eventually) and Herrera together and stop changing your back 4 every 5 minutes. Would also love to see more of Martial, he showed such promise when he first moved to the club.
What the hell happened to Memphis
? Bailey being injured really impacts you too, he looked mightily impressive and you don't really have a replacement.

Pathetic really, we just lack any kind of cutting edge. Every week there are question marks over Mourinho's selections. He still has no idea what his first eleven is almost four months into the job. To top it all off he gets himself sent off for the second time this season.

Last year it was Martial law, what happened?

Mourinho happened, he just randomly drops players completely. At the moment his objects of random displeasure are Blind and Martial (and kind of Shaw)
That's temporary. They will start putting them away, their ability up top is too good not to.
Their problem is their make-shift defence. Like I said a couple of posts ago, they miss Bailly and don't have an adequate replacement.

Most teams would struggle without their two first choice centre backs really. We do lack depth there though. Jones is just a huge question mark with his injury record and Rojo doesn't look solid enough. Blind is ok but is better elsewhere really.

Those 4 games:
91 shots.
33 on target.
3 goals.
If this was Football Manager, we'd all be calling it unrealistic.

Jose has us playing the best football out of the three so he has a huge plus on that part, but the record must improve and I hate the way he's treated players.

Garbage chequebook manager with a rotten personality, we won't get top 4 under Jose, I'd rather have no manager than have him.
LVG may have played bad football at times but at least he was respectable.

"We can talk about dominating possession and we can talk about taking 91 shots to your opponents’ 25 in four frustrating home games but the truth is that against West Ham, there was no point at which you thought ‘it just won’t go in’. It was largely ponderous, largely forgettable football and a much-maligned West Ham defence contained them with relative ease."

Season over because they are unlikely to get 1st?
That's very high expectations considering they didn't even get top 4 last season.
