That was another joke of a pen

The goal they scored would've been disallowed for most teams for a clear push.

They look distinctly average.

I forgot their two expensive, talented strikers were even playing.

I think they are still a bottom half team

Watched the first 20 minutes of the United game and they looked mustard, although Fulham had begun to look like they had worked out their shape and were getting more joy. Had to leave thereafter to catch me train.

What the hell happened?

 

[pejic]

Did Amorim actually look away when Fernandes took the penalty?
Hardly inspiring for the rest of the team. Don't think Fergie ever did that

 

[Efcjake]

Any head pats going spare from our resident hiding United fans?

 

[mrsnugfit]

Early days but have so far not looked any great improvement on last season. We will finish above them again.

 

[FCBarça]

Marcus is right, transition has yet to start

I think ManYoo fail ultimately because they create nothing. They recklessly refortify with seasonal overhauling of squad coupled to a coaching carousel with no discernible identity or sporting progression

They spend because they generate revenue yet are not profitable nor do they reflect any coherent sporting strategy

They’ll have the odd run of success but they are far from the club they think they are or even used to be

Just got a chance to properly watch MOTD from last night.

So their penalty.

Fulham player pulls at Man U player and right next to them Man U player pulls down Fulham player. Somehow officials only see one of the incidents despite them being right next to each other.

Their goal.

Absolute blatant push on Bassey by Yoro which again referee and VAR both seem to completely deem not worthy of inspection.

The PL are doing everything in their power to help these lot.

It’s embarrassing for Man U and embarrassing for the PL.

One of the real joys of football - especially when both your club team and national side have been crap for decades (hello Irish Toffees) - is schadenfreude. Especially when a hipster ideologue is being hopelessly exposed on a week-to-week basis. Amorim himself I take no pleasure in seeing suffer. But those who bigged him up as some kind of 4D chess-playing genius having harangued actual managerial geniuses from their club deserve every delicious cut of the thousand that have come their way in his 29 games collecting 28 points.

How many matches did Moyes get there again? For all his failings, he earned more than 28 points too...

 

[Tommy Chong]

Right at the bottom… Wow, that is shocking!

 

[Walken]

I realise it's about playing to the audience, but hopefully that will shift and the football world can stop treating them as a top team

They have done.

They're seen as a joke of a team with a massive fanbase of plastics and revenues to go with it.

That's what they are these days.

Nobody is signing for them expecting to win things there, they're just signing for the money when no CL team will take them instead.

Mbuemo and Cunha, De Lift and others all fit this mold.
