Fair result. You sit back on a 1-0 lead, take off your most creative player for your worst player and you deserve to get punished.
Does everyone finally understand what an utter ****ing liability Fellaini is now? **** sake, send him on to close out a game. I feel metal even saying those words, how insane is the person who actually does that? Ridiculous. We need to forget the league, we ain't getting 4th, and target the EL and a cup. Win that and finish 7th, job done. If we then fail to win it at least were not back in the ****ing thing next season.
Do we still lose half the sponsorship money if we qualify for the CL by winning the Europy but failing to get top 4?
I would imagine we get the full payment. Adidas pay us the full whack contingent on us qualifying for the CL, a win in the EL achieves the same result.
Bollox We created **** all meaningful of note the whole game. Mourinho got his team selection SPECTACULARLY wrong AGAIN. It was so obvious within 5 mins that Pogba at AM wasn't working. ALL the fluidity of our football in the last two games was gone. Why tinker around like a ****??? Why does he keep doing that. This is COMPLETELY 100% Mourinho's problem.
Shocking display all round, Pogba was completely useless at 10 Mata or even Lingard would have done much better. There was absolutely no link up between any of the forward players and midfield, we got what we deserved when we sat back near the end and Fellaini was the final straw.
I think it's an affront to a player like Mata that Pogba comes back automatically in his position. Pogba should have sat this one out, or else Carrick should have made way if it was absolutely necessary. Why constantly try to fix what isn't broken?
How long can this continue? We are now closer to 30% win ratio. Just fkin sad how much money we have spent over the past 4 years and this is what we get. Simply fukin sad!
And why no Shaw? Why does he tinker so much? All he needed to do was put Mata in at number 10. Even if that means keeping Pogba on the bench. I remember Mourinho when he was bold enough to do that. And then bring on players to hammer home the advantage. Nevertheless the point is that Pogba should only be replacing a CM and that is his only position. If he had sacrificed Carrick or Herrera for Pogba I could've understood (but still would've felt it was uncalled for). The thing that annoys me is that he finds a winning formula, then deliberately ****s it over. IF he was getting the results - **** it, if he was getting 50% of the results, you could understand. But it's not worked all season. His team selection and changes are unforgiveable tbh.
It depends whose match is shown first. I may stop kicking ****e out of my TV long enough to watch Klopp have a mini-stroke in the dugout.
