The more I think about United loss, the more infuriated I become. They play brilliantly against Liverpool and get a well deserved home win. so what do they do? They drop Mctomminay (who for me was probably second best United player in that match) and Mata for Fellaini and Lingard. Fellaini, WHY? Fellaini is basically a slower, less adept, more foul prone player than Mctominnay and shit. I mean, he's like that guy in the park or on the beach you see fucking around with the ball or a hackey sack, and has brilliant control. Maybe you form a circle, and he's great on one touch, controlling the ball, etc.. But he's not a fucking good soccer player.
Difference between these two games is Rashford gets a chance 1v1 vs the goal keeper and slots the ball into the net. Fellaini gets even a better opportunity and blasts it right into the goalies hands because he is shit. United get a goal there, THEN you can play the park the bus, control the game mentality that Jose oh so loves. Strike on the counter when opportunity is offered. But, the later the game goes, the more out of shape you need to force a bit and then whammo.
And then I mean, you have the dick measuring contest/side show going on between pogba and mourinho and that just adds to the shit show.
I don't buy that United need more talent. You can simply buy all the guys in the world, you need to play with the team you've got sometimes and no blame needs be placed on guys like Ashley Young, who let's face it, it's AShley fucking Young, but the guy has been solid. Valencia to me is the unsung hero and most underrated player on the team. Bailly been good and Smalling even decent enough. I can't blame Lukaku because if he doesn't get service, wtf is he supposed to do? And Matic also been very good. But Sanchez has been absolute shit since he arrived, looks completely out of sorts and Mourinho is so bull headed in his man love for the afrod one and his ego vs pogba, just tears the team apart. fucking shit.
