    My comment was very tongue in cheek and also just because Mou is doing that doesn't mean Woodward is

    Jose needs to figure this team out. Way too much talent to be playing like this.

    playing shit football and it’s even worse since Liverpool, Tottenham, City are all playing more attractive football. And there’s a vision within those clubs.

    We got no identity right now. And there’s no one running the midfield. And it’s no fun to watch.

    But then we are second in the league, within reach of advancing in CL and going in with home advantage, which is much improved to where we were two years ago...

    We really need a result against Chelsea

    Pretty meh start to the game. Defensively look strong so far other than Young dropping into the box every time Moses gets the ball but once again zero ideas going forward. Stagnant and no pace. Everything is simple and in front of their back line.

    Pathetic of Pogba not to challenge for that header too.

    Probably could have. No excuse for McTominay just letting Willian go like that tho imo. Pogba could have prevented the whole counter by challenging for that header too.

    are we allowed to ask what the fuck was up with DdG today? Also Romelu Lukaku just swung his dick everywhere today. I wish that Bruce Lee shot had found the net.

    ESPN headline this morning. Must have forgot United were in 2nd

    Mourinho, Wenger on verge of irrelevance
    Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho changed the game in England when they first arrived. In 2018, both men look increasingly out of date.

    I don't even know how to describe this performance. Bunch of standing and walking around, killing our own counters with awful passing, bad touches, no cohesion or interplay.

    Just a sloppy, disinterested performance.

    They generally give you an idea of what formation a team will be in and where each player will be positioned. Lineups are pretty much always in the order of goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, forwards. Looking at today's lineup you can see that we are either playing with 5 midfielders and 1 forward, or 3 midfielders and 3 forwards. So, knowing Jose's preferred formations, that narrows it down to either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3. Lukaku is listed between Alexis and Lingard, which tells you we are playing with 3 forwards and are in a 4-3-3.
