Those 90+ points ye were going to get are looking out of reach already.....

Who was drunk enough to say that in the first place?

There wasn't just the one person if I remember correctly

A lot of panic on this thread. United are joint 7th in the League. This is only their 2nd league loss of the season. You have to remember Utd had a game on Thursday.  West Ham had the week off. This is a factor that has to be taken into a/c! Rome was not built in a day.

You're obviously being sarcastic or trying to justify being 7th? They rotate the team for Europa League and the game was in England.. Not like they were flying back from Kazakhstan..

[Cunny Funt]

Just a bit sarcastic alright.

United played a mostly different 11 on Thursday so that factor doesn't have to be taken into account apart from starting Rashford when he probably should have been rested.

8th in the league table now after Arsenal's win and on paper Palace (H), Southampton (A) West Ham (A) and Wolves with their form this season (A) weren't difficult games on paper. Whatever about Rome its not easy to build when the foundation is made out of straw.

This year is all about qualifying for the Champions League. It's not about winning the Premier League. It's also about transition which won't be pretty. Klopp finished 8th in his first season 2015/16, 21 points behind champions Leicester City.

They have played 19 games since the game against PSG. 5 wins, 4 draws, 10 defeats. They aren't even playing good football now and threadbare in attack. They sold Lukaku who despite his faults, was a finisher and didn't replace him..

Yeah they are In transition alright.. In transition every year since Ferguson left.

Yea. The 'miracle in Paris' somehow is ending up tragic. Ole will be replaced, by Hallowe'en I'd say.

If you think Utd are going to qualify for the Champions League you're deluded.

Look at the state of the front 6 yesterday, nobody could seriously go to West Ham and get a result with that front 6. Matic & Mata are finished as top players, Pereira isn't good enough and McTominay & James probably have about 50 starts between them;

I had no issues with United selling Lukaka but he should have been replaced by someone like Mandzukic who would probably be content with been a bit part player. Fellaini & Herrera have left the club in the last 12 months and Matic has regressed at an alarming rate and United haven't bought a midfielder in that time so nobody and a player who's distinctly average in Pereira is now first choice.

It doesn't matter who's in charge of United with that side, a few injuries which has now occurred was always going to lead to huge issues. Last summer United bought in 3 good players who've hit the ground running, if United can bring in 3 or 4 players in the next 2 transfer windows who'll have a similar impact then things will look a lot better but thats a big if.

Reading last week that Mandzukic was the plan but he waited to see if he made Juve's champions league squad before deciding on leaving. He didnt make the list and missed the transfer deadline because of this?

Utd had decent chances to score yesterday and didn't take them. Could have been a different story. Anyway another long hard season continues.

Possibly but think there was a rumour United wouldn't give him what he wanted, I've bigger issues with not bringing in a midfielder and allowing Herrera to leave on a free whilst giving big contracts to Smalling, Jones & Lingard. Woodward has been a disaster, its bad enough wasting money on players who are not good enough but continuously paying players over the odds which makes them impossible to move on is unforgivable. Chelsea have spent as much as United in recent years if not more but they've managed to sell well too because players aren't on ridiculous money.
