I agree with Bebo. The moneys been spent on pogba so thinking on what it should be spent on is pointless. Also writing off pogba already is also pointless. This time last year people were calling firmino a waste. For a while people were writing off Ozil. Nowadays for players and teams one or two bad matches and your'e done. Put a few wins together and your'e the best ever.
On United as a whole I don't think anyone had them as winning the league but at least they should and maybe yet challenging for it. One of the problems is too many square pegs in round holes. wingers at right back, strikers as wingers, left backs as centre backs Fellaini is a peg and shouldn't be on the pitch. I understand that its part of the football education for Martial and Rashford to play as wingers but I wish for once and awhile they could play as the front pair and that could change the whole dynamic of the team. If instead of playing Rooney and Ibra they went for M & R up front. They could play a 4132. Carrick as a holding midfielder with Pogba, Herrera and Mkhitaryan or Mata in midfield.
The other problem is the squad players. Some players are into their 3rd season at the club and have not made a big enough impact so they need to be moved on. Rojo, Blind(Great at centre back last year but will never be a main CB under Mourinho) Fellaini. The others signed last summer need to show massive improvement or they will also need to be moved on. Something else that needs a massive improvement is our scouts, manager Woodward or whoever is buying the players as the amount of money we spent(I know footballers ar dearer nowadays) is embarrassing. We need to buy players for their (or build players with) mental strength, work ethic and attitude as much as their football talent. We need winners not people more interested in how fancy their car or hat is (Depay). People like Rio, Vidic, Keane, Scholes, Robson, Charlton, Ronaldo, Gerrard, Terry, Drogba, Vierra, Keown Neville etc. There may be players on that list that people don't like but that's part of the point. They don't care if you like them, they care about winning and being the best and give all for the team they are playing in at the time. I wish the like of Depay, Januzaj had some of the work ethic of those or Lingard and Rashford cause they put them to shame. The last time I think we had a great team was around 2008. Since then even under Ferguson and winning the league some of the football has been terrible.
Paul Scholes said today that we will need 18 months for the team to be truly a Mourinho team, that it will be unrecognisable from what it is now and I don't doubt it. People harp on about Mourinho winning it in his first season at Chelsea but forget that he inherited a team that finished runners up the year before(I know he bought some players that summer). If he had came in to a team that was only good enough to finish 5th (and lucky at that)with a disgraceful style of football it may have taken him a bit longer.
We are going to take alot of hits from rival fans, media and idiots that hate United for the sake of it which I don't really care I can take that, its part of being a fan. But to see a team wearing the united badge play like that makes me sad. Its along way to building a great team again but in the meantime I hope we can do a bit better than tonight. Rant over. Matty out
