Styles 9,790 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Signings won't fix this. Signings can't fix terrible passing and positioning.Could Ivanovic be any slower btw?No, but signing players who have the capacity to keep the ball and be progressive will help.

DYC. 7,542 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not the worst kind of Mikel...My problem with Mikel is that he doesn't do anything. Barely does the basics of his role.Maybe we deserve to be average. What am I saying? I'd love average right now.I'm sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 At least Hazard proves that he's head and shoulders above the rest. No, he's not great atm but he's the only one who can do something with the ball, has ball retention and some imaginative ideas to play forward. Don't you fucking dare put him in the same muppet bracket of nobodies like Pedro, Willian and Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Those long balls are sucking the soul out of me.People will still have you believe ball-playing defenders and high levels of technique and vision aren't crucial. Dinosaurs.No game plan, no effective counter attack strategy, no collective defensive tactics.It's literally a case of hang on by your fingernails and try not to get injured or sent off doing it.You'd think players would take a bit of initiative - If you see Ivanovic being isolated and targeted, get over and fucking help him. If you see Hazard getting overcrowded and bullied, give him an avenue to distribute the ball to!!Schoolboy errors, hell even school boys play with more fluidity & common sense!

Pizy 18,918 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Looks like we'll have to beat the only 3-4 sides worse than us in this league in order to stay up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Except if you read my posts on this site you'll see I don't totally absolve Mourinho. There are still people on here crying about Mourinho despite the fact he's gone, however.And with that in mind, the one constant in our shit run is not Mourinho because he is gone now. It's the squad.I accept that it's still early for Guus, but if the end of the season approaches and we still haven't improved then I think that's all the vindication José needs.New manager syndrome is enough to keep team from relegation nearly every season yet we're still bollocks.How has the squad got to how it is now? Do you absolve Mourinho of that as well? Mourinho's poor squad management has cost us some good players who would infinitely help in situations like this i.e. KDB, Filipe Luis, Schurrle. Mourinho has a big part to play in why the squad is where it is now. We got rid of players he didn't fancy and brought in players that he did (Cuadrado, Falcao etc.) thus weakening the squad. We fucked up in the summer in not getting the right targets (specifically Stones) but that doesn't mean that Mourinho gets to be vindicated. He's a massive reason why we're in the shit we are now. Surely you can see that argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 United are fucking shite at the back, yet we are not attacking at all, let alone pressing them. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 United are fucking shite at the back, yet we are not attacking at all, let alone pressing them.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Kenedy should come on for Oscar in the 2nd half. Hazard should drop back to the 10 role. That will most likely marginally improve our play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
