Oh look you're talking crap again, what a shock. As always your own players are diving and you're deflecting and making up accusations about me

LOL

Mourinho's attitude has rubbed off on Utd supporters, not just Utd's players.

Hopefully this is the last we see of Darmian. Just not cut the mustard

Shamikebab · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:13

He looks like he doesn't really care tbh, I suspect he's known he's gone for some time.

BaZ87 · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:30

Don't do this to me Sturridge. I finally gave up on you, don't give me any false hope.

Really sucks, one of the best players for us I've seen when he is actually fit

Surprised manu haven't really offered anything this half, we took off a lot

Has Monica just come on for United?

Purdy · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:37

******* hell another ridiculous dive

Robbo · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:38

That's a cool penalty.

We've been awful but it is pre-season after all. Things seem a bit miserable at the moment.

Purdy · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:38

LOL the keeper, what a bell, it ain't fifa

Your keeper made it incredibly easy and psyched himself out

Herrera such a little ****. Clearly fouls Robertson and has the cheek to argue with the ref.

Yeah was a very quick flick out with the foot to catch the foot that Robertson was pulling back. Garbage players like him would be found out in an instant with VAR used. (Imagine how many penalties Skrtel would've given away

)

Robbo · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:46

Blimey.

sneakysnail · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:46

Pick that 1 out

Purdy · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:47

Wind it in Baz

Robbo · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:54

Just based on the aura around the club at the moment, I have a feeling Mourinho will be gone soon.

There's talk that the board just want to finish 4th and aren't bothered beyond that (not sure that's entirely true), and Mourinho is annoyed with the serious lack of transfer activity when half of the squad needs upgrading/replacing.

Shamikebab · 29 Jul 2018 at 00:04

We need players back from holiday, having to play Sanchez as a solo striker is just crippling.

BaZ87 · 29 Jul 2018 at 00:06

Comfortably the better side throughout the game - the other difference between the two halves is we took our chances in the second half. Not sure if I'm happy with the Sturridge and Shaqiri goal's though. Sturridge has given me hope that he's not finished and Shaqiri's now going to try that every week - their goals are only going to lead to disappointment in the long run.

He isn't starting ahead of Firmino but a fit Sturridge, who's actually willing to put his body on the line for team, is the next best thing we've got. Now that he's finished filming Glass he might actually try and do that for us.

Despite what I've said above, I refuse to get excited by Sturridge. He cannot or will not sprint anymore. I think it was the Dortmund game where Solanke played a throughball towards him and you automatically thought he's in here but Sturridge just gave up on it. His technical ability and finishing is still there but he's never going to be close to the player he was.

Confused how we can.play so badly ?
