Ashley Young has single handedly killed like 4 opportunities this half through extremely slow play or terrible crosses
This really should be the totality of his Wiki page.

Great save by Leno followed by a 40 yard shank by Lindelof

Free kick at midfield at 93:30 that Friend moves back 2 yards, wasting 15 seconds. Whats the point?

Man it's just really hard to be excited and optimistic anymore about United

The team had an incredibly long run at the top. All teams do this. They hit a place where internally they stagnated and rot. At that point you rebuilt. How long it takes depends on the level of rot. Here it was bad and it's still there in Woodward. The Astros went through it with a complete tear down and rebuild. But look where they are now.

I think the key is Woodward. He is really good at making the Glazer's money, but just absolutely sucks at negotiating for talent. As long as he is in control and the team is commercially a success, the on the field results are going to be average.

weird lineup for a game on bad artificial turf.

United: De Gea (c); Dalot, Lindelof, Rojo, Williams; Fred, Matic; Mata, Gomes, James; Greenwood.

Subs: Romero, Tuanzebe, Maguire, McTominay, Lingard, Chong, Rashford.

0 shots on goal. This team just keeps regressing game after game and is clear sign of a clueless manager.

maybe this will finally be the season that forces the Glazers to take team control away from Woodward. they aren't going to fire him since he brings in way too much money. but, he should have nothing to do with football operations.

Unfortunately all indications seem to be that the Glazers ONLY care about making money and don't give 2 hot ****s about how poorly the team perform

did we even get one shot on goal?

so since it seems they can only win when there is an interim manager, when do we expect the next interim manager to be announced?

True but at some point a poorly performing team is going to impact their bottom line no matter how many new sponsors they sign or how much of a wizard Woodward is with the financials. Because sponsors aren't going to shell out the money they have been shelling out for a team that perennially finishes mid-table and has a shrinking fan base.

The structure at United above the manager has already proved that it is an abject failure at fielding a football team capable of competing at the top of the league year in and year out. That's not going to magically change. The only question is how long will it take for that failure to impact the Glazer's bottom line enough to make a fundamental structural change and get rid of Woodward...hopefully before it's not too late although you could argue it already is.

We really desperately need a victory to get some momentum heading into the Liverpool match...so we will likely lose by 2-3 goals

We could win by 7 goals and I think Liverpool would still throttle us.

I'll go 0-0 but we get a shot on goal this time.

Haha, yea I'm sure Liverpool will destroy us, but I would like to minimize the damage. I laughed at "I think we get a shot on goal"

Watching us play is like watching molasses flow. Liverpool and city make 5 passes to open players while we Are still thinking about the first one.

Steve Bruce. 22 matches against United. 0 wins. That will change.

Ole's greatest achievement at United is getting fans to accept and embrace how **** we are, he is building in his job security at a very low level.

Fred has got to be one of the worst signings in EPL history. Not surprised to hear Lee Dixon call him out for not contributing.

Ole is going to be 2 for 2 for getting teams relegated and still won't be sacked. ****ing embarrassing.

So bad. So so bad. Bottom half finish is coming. Just a question of how low. And IIRC the Chevy Uni contract is up. That's a big deal and that loss of income may get the Glazers attention.

I didn't think it was possible for Ole to be fired before say March/April. I wouldn't be surprised if he was canned during the international break. Don't think he will be but I wouldn't be surprised.

Do you really think that will make any appreciable difference? You can change managers but the new guy will still have the same roster of players to put out there.

Old Steve Bruce 0-22 versus United.
New Steve Bruce 1-22 versus United.
