Final nail in ETH coffin?

Surely enough is enough.. he looked like he came for a draw. At the London stadium? Come on.. you are man united. Not Luton (thats harsh on Luton!)

Both the young guy and rashford got bugger all service
 
Not sure “more wisely” is the best term considering they’ve 115 charges against them for FFP
I think the squad they have suggests otherwise. Sourcing of the money is a different story, hence the point of your post, but once they have had it, not much wasted. Compare with their near neighbours......

And that’s the key. A goal a game until this point of the season tells you everything you need to know. In over forty years as a match going supporter I have never seen such an alarming lack of creativity.

Hojlund is struggling, but the best strikers in the world would struggle to score in that side. He is living off scraps at best.

I was in the car this afternoon with the radio on. Prior to this game Anthony had passed to Hojlund once in 5 hours. I think Garnacho had passed twice to him in the same time. If they are the wide men supposed to feed him, what chance......

The problem with both is that they are effectively inverted wingers - both prefer to cut inside rather than beat their defender and put a quality cross in. In Antony’s case, he has no option as he is so unbelievably one footed. Shocking for a player at this level, and someone who must be an absolute dream to defend against.

What staggers me is that, under Solskjaer, United scouted Antony and the consensus was he was worth in the region of £25m. The fact that we paid over three times that is a shocking indictment of recruitment at the club.
 
Probably because you don’t pay good money to watch them?

Far too negative and boring. Has not got a clue how to play entertaining football.

So paying good money means you get to decide our probably most successful manager is boring?

Won a trophy , check
Successive top 7 finishes, check
European football 3 seasons on the spin , check

We haven't got the squad yet to play constant entertainment

We played fantastic football against arsenal to knock them out the cup

About time he got the respect he deserves

Top 6 ATM. Topped the group in Europa
 
What happened last time Moyes left and they tried to be entertaining?

The "paying fans" got a reality check

"Bilic got us" for one season then everyone figured him out..Moyes saved us

MP the board creamed themselves that he was available.. he crashed and burned. Moyes saved us and then got us a solid side and won a trophy

People just like to moan.
