Can't remember the last time we had a weekend like this (nearly all the results going our way plus the fact we actually capitalised). It will be interesting to see what the managers have too say.
Seeing as you still owe us cash, can you sell Schneiderlin back to us?

Perhaps that was the joke...
Maybe Mata and Schneiderlin should start instead of being like, 6th or 7th choice.
Maybe spending £95m on an attacking midfielder who has the defensive ability of a training cone when you have a crap back 4 that badly needs investment isn't a good idea.
Maybe Moyes was robbed.
I'll stop now.

He really hasn't made it at the club so I would say he's someone that has to go. Not that I'd be playing Fellaini over Schneiderlin.
Heck even not playing Carrick today was a mistake.
I'd be selling Schneiderlin, Herrera, Fellaini and Rojo for definite. None of them are good enough. Lingaard should be second choice, he's not good enough yet to be in a club that's suppose to be challenging for the title. Martial should always be starting unless a better left winger can be found.
Also Smalling should never wear a captains armband, he is not a captain. Never will be.

A bit of a harsh result. We definitely didn't deserve to win but Luiz should've been sent off. I would've been content losing 2-0.

He needs a better squad, but unless he stops his career rot he is going to continue to decline. Football fans have brains like sieves but it's up to a top Manager to retain consistency and bounce back from career setbacks. Not allow rot to continue and follow them for years.
Given how Chelsea didn't play that well in the games against Arsenal and Liverpool, I don't blame Conte for having this reaction. Finally his system seems to work flawlessly.

I don't know where he got that from but it's not Mourinho
Conte not saying either

It shows you just how much of a disaster of a club Man Utd are right now. Mourinho decided to go for this job though, so it's on him to turn the club around. Benching Rooney isn't enough, there needs to be a clear out of players and decent purchases that aren't all just about chasing superstars.
Lol, he comes across like such a baby at times, hopefully this is the start of another meltdown, his ego will be shattered if it happens again, especially after he spent so much.
The offense consists of young upcomers like Ibra and Lolney

Bailly apparently has a bad knee injury.

Don't forget Young. Even Van Gaal wanted to play Young as a striker.
Should add Young and Depay as yet another two players who need to be sold. The list is never-ending.
Getting Rooney off the wage list should be a priority. To be honest Schweinsteiger too. Combined they probably exceed 500k a week. Glorious.
Say goodbye to the top 4. Jose Fonte price just doubled up I suppose...

If I were United, i'd go for that Van Dijk fella, although surely he'd go for a John Stones amount.
He spoke to him in Italian and it was audible, words are directly from Mou's mouth.
He played on Thursday.

A horrible thought. But we could've had Depay instead of Firmino... scary.
Ahh, not been following the europa cup

Thank you based Conte. I'm upset Liverpool didn't take their chances on Monday the way Chelsea did today.

I find it funny how United fans are saying they need a whole new squad. £150+ spent and they need a whole new squad. LOL
That doesn't mean the £150m was well spent.
Too be fair £95m were spent on a useless midfielder, so not much of a squad built there.
Subbing isco which was playing well and bringing vasques doesn't make any sense imo
See it as marketing stunt, Adidas made already more than double with Flopba jerseys than Manchester spent on him.
Ronaldo plays only with his name now. Any other player would have been benched long ago.
Yeah, that's why I said that it looked like it was decided before the game. "Isco will play x minutes then Vasquez will play".
Bringing Vazquez in was not wrong, but there were a lot of players who played worse than Isco. Totally illogical.

On TV? I couldn't hear shit. Were you watching on Sky Sports? I mean I don't doubt that is something Mourinho would say, I just want hard evidence first.
I love him as a person, I just don't think he's what a club like Man Utd needs to get back to winning ways. I think he would do better back in another league, or at another Prem league club. Again, to reiterate, that is not a slight on his person, he genuinely comes across as such a humble person. He's just not fit enough to be a consistent starter.
Pogba had a fucking awful game, but after the European game let us not pretend most clubs wouldn't jump at the chance to slot Pogba into their solid lineup.
The problem for Man Utd is the backbone is so shitty they're trying to get Pogba to do everything in midfield. Pogba should be given a free role with someone like Carrick to steady the ship. Look how amazing their partnership worked.
Pogba and Fellaini is like a fucking car crash. To expect Pogba to defend is to expect Ronaldo to defend. Pogba can be a good holding midfielder, but that is in possession of the ball. He needs a solid partner who will actually defend and win the ball back when the side isn't in possession.
In all fairness but if Carrick has granda legs now or something given how sparingly he's being used, rotating between him and Schweinsteiger to play alongside Pogba would be a dream compared to using Fellaini. So yeah, for now, #bringbacktheSchwein
