Always funny when people bring up Neves, because from what I've heard from Wolves fans is that he is pretty poor defensively. 

he is no Kante or Casemiro, but is he is streets beyond Jorginho defensively

we just passed some Cypress club and now the number one in team in the world (literally the world, all top tier pro leagues) for most minutes played per game as a percentage by foreign players

thats crazy

it will go down with CHO and RLC playing more, but I am sure we finish year at top

Great..where's the trophy?!

Arsenal hoping to just sneak top 4 as per usual.

Yet no doubt if Neves was here like some want, people would be slating his defensive frailties

After watching United vs Barcelona, to be honest I rather have Sarri Ball than the boring game of United. If you are going to lose and play boring football, at last let the team have a bit of ball possession...

United screw up by appointing Solksjaer as permanent. 

Should have gone all for Pochetino in the summer. 

What we saw with United was the new manager bounce effect. We have witness that many times her at Chelsea.

They have shitload of cash and they still play Young/Valencia at RB. Similar to our situation with Alonso on LB. 

How can these guys get into starting 11 for the past 2 years, who knows.

meh, they were just ineffective up top and Shaw made mistakes.

Fred and McTominey both played well along with Young.

United's forward line has been questionable or ineffective for a while --esp. centre forward. Barca has decent enough cohesion and experience to prevent disasters at the back --even though they really could have blown it a few times in that match.

Pogba, Dalot, and Lukaku weren't good enough to make United dangerous yesterday. Rashford is inconsistent.

We would do the same vs Barca today

I'm certain we would do a lot better infact had we got yesterdays Barca at The Bridge last season I'm certain we would have won comfortably.

Despite ultimately losing by three goals we were quite unlucky against them last year (we didn't take our chances and they were clinical when they got there's). United yesterday did literally nothing in attack, it was probably the worse Barca have played since pre Pep and the worst I've ever seen Messi yet they still coasted to victory.

Barca under Valverde are really good at being solid. Taken a bit from what Enrique gave them in terms of sitting a bit deeper and playing more cohesively without the ball and adding even more to it.

I suppose in an away match,  clean sheet, getting a away goal, it worked. Theyve got a lot of experience too, bringing on the likes of Arturo Vidal and Sergi Roberto for Coutinho and Artur Melo is a luxury a lot of teams dont have. I dont know if we would of managed much better than we did the last year against Barca tbf but because as we seen they can turn it on when they need to or when theres a mistake. Id like to see us go toe to toe with a Barca, Real, Juve or whatever under Sarri, it would be really intriguing to see we would cope playing as we do now.

Must be sacked because of Jorginho.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Just fuck off already. If he just played either Higauin or Giroud and we lost then we can accept we're not good enough. But this clown wasted 60 mins of the game without any discernible game-plan. Nothing worse than feeling you could do better than you showed. Trying to be a tactical genius but he's just an Aldi Guardiola.

It's not just this result. So many stupid losses. We don't seem to have the ability anymore to be in a losing position and turn things around. 

Now if want top 4 really gotta win the thing or rely on other results.. Yay.

I must surely have watched a different game. I thought we were very good. Could easily easily have been 2-2

 We got beaten by 2 great goals. We defended really well. And created some good chances. 

I have had a lot of issues with sarri but calling him a fraud for today's performance seems downright stupid.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

In my opinion we are going in the right way. We are improving. Three months ago we were not able to stay in the match."

Are we?!?! Its like steps forward leaps back
