DVB was one of those signings that you remember where you were and what you were doing when the news came through such was the expectation of him at the time
Oh well...

Game management in the 2nd half was atrocious. 2-0 up and game in the bag but the warning signs were there.
Attack looked better so hopefully they can start putting back to back performances together so the focus can be put back onto our sh1t backline and midfield

I'm running out of optimistic notes to strike on for this team. I suppose Ronaldo coming back and starting maybe with a point to prove, or else the other attackers get another chance to shine blah blah blah
But for this game I just can't see it happening here. I do hope I'm wrong but I can only go on the evidence of what I'm seeing.
This was run we were looking to get almost maximum points from but we are chasing it now already so even more pressure on us for this game
We shall see. Don't have a crystal ball. I reckon we're a good price for this game. Going for a look. Yeah 7/5 which is just security for the bookies as opposed to our form or anything

Easier said than done. Comes back management of egos here again.
In the table, there's currently Arsenal, West Ham and Spurs all above us in the table.
Nobody can tell me that these have better squads than ours.
Can't complain with the level of investment post Ferguson. There's where the trick is. It's been the superstar names that everyone wanted (me included) that we've been after in the transfers and it hasn't worked.
Nothing to lose by changing approach. There's only Mbappe, Salah and Messi that can break our bank anyway

Absolutely. There's no quick fix for these issues. I know I said 3 windows, but when you look at it, we signed Bruno this time last year and with the way he started for us he looked like the saviour. But 1 man was never going to solve it
That's 3 windows gone there in a heartbeat and can we say with any real conviction that out from him there's been any real standout signings. S
If we keep talking about these achilles heels of ours whoever we get has to hit the ground running. I'm not convinced but we will just have wait and see
All these players are going to be another year older as well

Them problems aren't going to fixed in a transfer window, not even 2, Hell maybe not even 3 windows.
Ronaldo starting games was an issue when he wasn't getting service and all this ##### and nothing coming from midfield.
He was going to provide little else and so lack of service to him and him getting in a huff more or less had us down to 10 men.
We can't afford that luxury to all our other attacking players just now. Sometimes you're going to have square pegs in round holes. That's just a fact of life.
If service to them wasn't great, yeah which it wasn't, what did any of them try to do to stop Villa setting out on their attacks???
They just bypassed most of our team
So if there was no service upfront what exactly were they doing??? Can't have it both ways

Villa as tough as any opponent now in the league. Only our A game is going to do it which as we know is not that great anyway  We are plum for Villa right now, but if theres any fight in United should be taking care of this |

All smells of another clearout being needed with the picture that's being painted. Given all the years of trying to remain positive and thinking that the corner would be turned, it's crazy to think but here we are

Like I said here Sunday we've not had a decent midfield since Fergie's years. And midfield was dieing a death way before the end of his tether here
Countless rows amongst fans about our midfield only for Ferguson to pull the results out and everyone was like alright afterwards
