Never ever complain about bad refereeing decisions against manu again; Herrera should have gone for that tackle on Allen.
Could have been red ,but we've had at least 3 of those on our players go unsuitably punished this season so don't cry about it.Athlon said:
What can be done to make this team work???
Right, everyone likes a bit of banter but I'm being deadly serious here. You've had three managers since him; Moyes who wasn't good enough/not given enough time or resources, LVG who had all the experience and was regarded as a master of the game, but seemed like he was playing a previous iteration of football, and now you have 'the special one', who wins trophies wherever he goes and has the most expensive player in the world, the best keeper in the world and numerous other 30-50m players. If you can't achieve with all that then perhaps its time to accept that your time at the top table is over?
One way of handling a better footballer than you

Their time at the top table isn't over, it never will be with their resources and allowing for the way the game is structured, but they no longer sit at the head of the table, they sit down one side or the other (along with about six other clubs) ... who can all beat one another on a given day. Wakey wakey rise and shine:
Indeed. Football under LvG was better as well; like today still lacking in pace but more organized, plus without the constant excuses, insinuations and pointing at others including players.
And compare ManU's match today with Tottenham's; organisation, effort, pace, tactics, coherence. It literally is night and day.
ManU should get rit of Woodward, he seems to be doing a great job in marketing, but not so much on the footballing side of things. And it's mainly midfield where ManU is losing the battle. Get rid of Rooney, Felliani and Mata.

They've had an easy start to the season too. Imagine if they'd had our start!!Under Louis Van Gaal 2015/16 - 16 points
Under Jose Mourinho 2016/17 - 13 points

The team has had a few big money players through the door that haven't performed, and some managers the same. Some players have been made big money players as a gamble that doesn't pay off. What is left to blame?
Man Utd were good in the first half. Stoke were dreadful and made Utd look better than they were.
For 20 minutes at the start of the second half Man Utd dropped the pace and Stoke were right in the game. Stoke always looked dangerous anytime they got forward. They also had a few great chances that have been ignored.
Pogba was awful. He should have had 3 goals today and looked to have real issues even controlling the ball. There's little point of arguing where on the park he should play, or who should play alongside him, when he's unable to even get the basics right himself.
Herrera should have been off.
I can't see that Utd team getting in the top 4.

I went today in the away end and it was my first time at Old Trafford.
I have to say its the biggest club ground in the country but it was so quiet. Not a dig by any means but whats happened to the home support? I never heard them until the goal went in, is it a case of Man Utd are now a brand and a tourist attraction apposed to a football club?
I have huge respect for Utd and what they have achieved in the last 20 years or so, but without a loud home crowd they are already at a disadvantage.
