Either my stream is massively behind or you are writing off Leicester a bit prematurely...

Don't matter they will mess it up and Burnley are screwed ready.

Agree with you on Burnley, I honestly can't remember the last time they went to the Etihad and didn't get eviscerated.

Enjoyed this from the Leicester fans (although @moi would disapprove) : "Champions of England, more recent than you".

Leicester is outplaying united, should have been in front by now

the united fans responding with their CL win from 2008😂 13 years ago

United is absolutely horrendous. Defensively they are just nowhere, it is so easy to bypass united midfield (it is pogba and 200 years old Matic, plus upfront nobody want to defend). It was basically open season for Madison and Tieldmans. 

Offensively, now I understand why Juventus play Ronaldo with higuain or Morata and why he need to play with benz in Madrid. He is not a cf.

Was pondering this earlier, I'm not sure what's happened to him. No idea how he's managed to be an old man for the past six years considering he's only 33.

Unfortunately Ronaldo will be the one who gets Ole the sack.

Without him he would have been able to endlessly coast of top four finishes.

And that is why they won't win. United punish wasteful sides, well most of the time.

Ronaldo make an imbalance United become an absolute mess, He kinda force you to play another st, imagine if you have to play Cavani and Ronaldo and you certainly has to play bruno. That means there is one spot left for greenwood, Sancho, Rashford and Pogba. That is just crazy

He always been slow but right now he is being tasked to defend with 0 support from the front 4. None of them want to track back, this is just crazy football

I meant more from a political sense.

Ronaldo hasn't joined for a long term project and he's the one person Fergie and The Glazers will listen to. The minute he shows discontent with Ole's management the latter is done.

All those winning goals will certainly help his cause.

Why do you have to play another striker? Pep plays with 0 strikers and does pretty darn good.

Nah  I don't care from political point of view,but from footballing point of view this united team was better last year.

OGS doesn't even have tactics, he just goes "have fun boys", & at the bench he lets Lingard and Cavani do rock paper scissors to decide who comes on

Fernandinho-esque challenge there from Pogba

Ferran Torres has been playing st for them and Guardiola want to sign kane.

If you want to play false 9,Bruno can't play as no 10. Ronaldo basically force Bruno and sancho to play as st.

Ranieri's first eight fixtures:

Liverpool, Everton, Southampton, Arsenal, Man Utd, Leicester, Chelsea, Man City

I predict he will be gone before I put my Christmas Tree up...................................!

 

 

Revise that. At this rate he could be gone by Guy Fawkes night..............!!

Lovely bloke and all that, but I think we all know he got a bit lucky at Leicester. It looks like Watford are gonna get what they deserve for being so impatient and trigger happy.

I think Greenwood has set a terrible precedent with that goal. Everybody is now just aimlessly c**ting it from distance rather than doing something more sensible.

jammy manure

United's midfield reminds me of ours from a few years ago. One pass through it and you are running at their defence. 

what a retarded goal to concede 

Hahaha what a crazy few minutes
