Ooof, very few redeeming features in that one. Against a feeble Man U. 

 

 

 

 

Repulsive game of football.  It's very clear Man Us league position is entirely warranted.  It's also very clear that we are about to go on a horrible winless streak under Cooper. 

[Filbert Fireworks]

That was poor but honestly look at our personnel.  

 

Ayew, buonanotte, fatawu

 

Its not prime Barnes Vardy, Maddison is it? 

 

Our squad is bottom 5 and this is how its going to be. 

 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Lack of physically is really poor too, and should've been the first thing we went for in the summer. I know the delivery was shit but who in that team is going to win a header? 

 

 

[fox_favourite]

Someone tell me what the formation was?! There wasn't a right side all game. Poor Justin had to do a lot. 

 

Cooper is burning players out. Also the tactics were non existent as the players kept getting in each others way. When did you see that when we had Enzo. 

 

We'll get thrashed against Chelsea playing like that. 

 

Also, Old Trafford has to be the quietest stadium I've ever been to! Theatre of silence!!! 

 

I'm so frustrated with us at the moment

Especially the one on second half where Winks rolled it slowly into the wall... 

school boy football

My Forest supporting mate said to me when we appointed Cooper, that it would be a bad move , very defensive manager whoever you play, and so it’s proved 

 

Get the Cnut gone 

 

[kingfox]

An unlikeable manager with a squad full of unlikeable players. 
 

Once upon a time we had a defence of Simpson - Morgan - Huth - Fuchs. 
 

Now we have to watch Justin - Faes - Vestergaard/Okoli - Kristiansen. 
 

How depressing.

Personnel isn't great but we had Skipp on bench who is way above Soumare. Straight swap. We had Stephy on bench, albeit out of form, but miles hard of Ayew and would give their back pair a run for their money. 

 

We all know at full back we are weak. So why not think about a more robust three centre halves to mitigate it a bit? 

[RowlattsFox]

Not a high bar but I thought Kristiansen was one of our better players  probably says it all. 

[EastAnglianFox]

People thinking Cooper will be gone after that?

 

Personally I’d be surprised if Top is even aware/bothered about the result currently

So Buonanotte is shit?

Disappointing performance. You never expect much at Old Trafford but we barely laid a glove on them. Not quite at the Cooper out stage but that team selection was poor today and lacked ambition. That said with Ricardo and Vardy out we don't really have the quality to cover them currently as Justin is woeful and Edouard isn't fit to lace Vardy's boots. Whether Daka would have made a difference is hard to say.

 

One thing I am certain of is that Faes needs benching ASAP. He's too erratic and must be a nightmare to play with. I'd like to see Okoli partnered with Vestergaard as we need to tighten up the defence. Currently achieving a clean sheet looks a long way off. 

Not having a go at all but curious what it would take for you to move over to the Cooper Out side? What have you seen so far this season that gives you even a glimmer of hope that Cooper has the qualities to succeed?

 

I'm just looking for any positivity I can, as I can't think of anything at all.

That goes without saying. We lost the best when we went down but that was inevitable. To be back here competing is honestly as good as we could have hoped. We draw a line and get on with it. I never expected to be cheering in the likes of fatawu winks mags and facundo but I’m enjoying the battle.

Yes our squad is not the best, but why make it worse by having arguably the worst manager in the league? A situation we can rectify.

[Buzzell]

Pathetic.

My favourite bit was when Radio Leicester’s commentary dropped out for 5 minutes in the second half

He was honking - at fault for first two goals and offered nothing on the ball

 

Would have been better if Bertrand came out of retirement for this one

Our record with him at LB this season and the season we went down is actually appaling. Even the 3 goals we scored at Southampton came after he'd been dragged.

Nobody can respond to this in a way that makes any sense. It's like because the squad isn't very good we need to pair it with a manager who also isn't very good. I'd have thought if you reckoned our squad was shit you would therefore want to get the best possible manager in to give it a fighting chance but apparently not.

[hejammy]

Has he done an interview yet? I hope Top was standing at the dressing room door and stopped Cooper from entering and fired him on the spot. Wishful thinking I know. 

[FoyleFox]

We've somehow made one of the worst Man U sides in recent history look like prime Barca. We're just a special level. 

Our squad isn't as talented as it was but they should at least show some fight and determination. And, how can't professional footballers take a free kick!

Not sure I’d be singling out those three, even if it was a like for like comparison.

 

 

 

[Ian Nacho]

That second half was particularly atrocious. Offered absolutely nothing against a poor side. Lack of substitutions was baffling.

Because the managers were queuing at the door weren't they? 

 

Cooper is a desperate choice because noone else wanted it and we were nearly at pre season. Granted there are probably loads of left field choices out there but did they show an interest?
