Yep Manchester United have been poor today but i'm sure everybody will quickly forget that United were without over half of their first choice team again today and claim United are in fact 'just shit init'.
 
A lot of this talk about care and effort is pretty futile though.

Need to realise that the majority of this team are just utter shit.
It's not.

We need better players. Everyone knows that. But any team worth it's salt needs players who try.

It's a fundamental.

Getting scored on 4 times in 30 minutes against Zwolle isn't what I'd blame on this team being bad. They clearly don't even care, scared to go in hard so they don't get injured.

Oh LOL yeah I'm not talking about ManU.

Without a doubt.

Gerrard 8. Gold patches.

The dream.

It always makes me wonder...

When do clubs start preparing champions merchandise and website content etc!

Like City's website was flooded with all sorts within hours of us winning it. Imaging making all the banners, the articles etc and maybe having to scrub it.

So what is going on at Ajax?

If only the United players ate the right breakfast, this would have been a completely different game...

Hard to tell anymore but that might have been the worst performance of the season.

It was so chaotic. Like they genuinely didn't know what they were doing. Real life headless chickens.

Yep. As soon as Norwich started fighting at 2-0, we couldn't handle it. 50-50s started going in their favour, headed duels were going their way, they got the first toe to every loose ball

Effort won't win every match, but it will make you lose if it's not sufficient*

The people who are responsible for the future of your club decide it's a good idea to give Rooney an extension and pay raise.

I'd be worried.

By contrast with Norwich, who pulled something together.

Like Hitcher wisely contends.

It makes you look a right bunch of knobends if it gets leaked, like our CL Winners 06/07 bus :(

No way.

Awful result but the performance wasn't as bad as it's been.

How much of your first team was missing when we beat your ass @ old trafford?

What's happened?

They have thrown Fireworks on the field, after which Ajax scored the 1-0. During the celebration they threw fireworks for the second time after which the Ref stopped the game for 15 minutes or so. But now PEC turned the game around and are leading with 4-1 haha

I think he's talking about Ajax lool

Them fuckers too then, maybe! Oops!

It's not.

Granted, but it's becoming a cop out.

That team today got beat, and has been getting beat all season, because there are too many players in it who are stinking the place out with their mediocrity.

How many players would you swap with United if you were an Everton fan today? 2? 3?

Ferguson's freakish ability to win trophies exempt, expecting anything more than 7th place from Buttner, Smalling, Jones, Fletcher, Young and Valencia is a waste of time.

Just not good enough.
