They've changed it back to possession this half and have put the heebie-jeebies up United who've lost their shape.

Why will Martial never amount to anything?  You saw it there!  Just doesn't have the composure. Monty Oh Well


Hitting (accurate) diagonals is very different from labeling them a "long ball team" as you did which is patently ridiculous. They've over 2000 more passes than Man Utd in the EPL this season by the way, thanks Opta  Monty Chuckle

Can't see how Ole survives much longer especially with Pochettino still kicking about. 

They've got City away in the 2nd leg of semi final, probably Watford away in the FA Cup then Wolves and Chelsea in the league all coming up. Doesn't look good for him. This has been a doing despite the scoreline.

Think Poch has to pay back a good chunk of his multi-million payout if he takes another job before the end of the season. Not sure how much United really have to play for so might not be worth having to stomach the cost instead of waiting until summer.

I mean regardless of how pish they've been again today they are only 5pts behind an exceptionally mediocre Chelsea side for 4th place, still in the FA Cup and still in the Europa League (which also represents a Champions League place).

Chelsea can be dece and are only going to get better. Good young sore with Abraham, Mount, Tomori and they'll be able to actually spend this summer

United need a big overhaul

Was responding to the point whether they had much to play for this season.

Agree that they have an enormous task to improve this team. I watched Chelsea yesterday and they are nowhere near good enough either, lacking massively in quality. Both will need to spend zillions in the summer which they probably will do. Actually think if Wolves pull the finger out they have half a chance of taking 4th from both.

Liverpool aside, obviously, there aren't any "vintage" sides in this year's EPL other than maybe fucking Sheffield United. Warnock Spurs/Man City/Chelsea/Arsenal/Man Utd etc - all underperforming.

Totally agree.

Watched Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea yesterday and now Man Utd today and I doubt there has been an EPL season that 2 of them have been as bad never mind all 4.
