Just got back from a weekend away outta town, but managed to catch the game... 
what a way to end a damn near perfect weekend.
I haven't even bothered to read any of the trolls for the past few pages, but the truth of the matter is, I don't really care for anyone saying United are trash. Cause it's simply not true, so it really does nothing for me. But what's really frustrating when watching United, is how bang average we are. We're not trash. We're not great. We're just so damn........average. That right there is hella frustrating. There's great spells of play, even great matches, but struggling to be consistent is what's killing United. We win today, lose tomorrow, draw the next day. The only consistent thing in United, is our in consistency.
To me it boils down to a few things, not just one....
1. Squad: there needs to be improvement in the middle and the back, hell and even on the wings. Pogba is really starting to find his feet, and it shows (particularly when he's able to play a little bit more advanced) once he has the right supporting cast, we're going to see magic.
2. Managerial choices: Mkhi was a revelation for 85min last week, then suddenly he's not even getting a full 45min. Why does Fellaini even train with the first team? Why EVER bring off Mata if he's not injured? (aside from fitness concerns etc).
3. Mentality: Some of this will be from the manager e.g I saw United comfortably up against Swansea I believe? And suddenly the boys took their foot off the peddle. Why not continue to go and score more? I saw BVB put away 8 in a CL match the other day. Why not rack up the goal difference? We all know that United under Fergie would train for last 15min, 10min, 5min. And I see none of that under Mou. I saw poor passes, lapses in judgement and sloppy play.
4. Luck: This starts to go your way when everything else is gelling.
After chatting to the fellas, I've come to the conclusion that I'll reserve my judgement for Mou until after his second summer (by then he's had MORE than enough time to remove or import whatever stock he needs), but as it stands, I'm not really impressed...

1. I think Rashford is a BRILLIANT prospect. But exactly that. A prospect. His willingness (and sometimes successfully) to take on a man directly is what's lacking at United. As for Martial I'm actually wondering the same thing, I suspected he was injured, or returning to match fitness.
2. I've mentioned this before, I still don't understand this, and probably never will.
3. Jesse is cool and all, but to me he's a rotational squad player. He often runs into Mata's space, which irritates the life out of me, because when Mata is on song, boy can you see it. I suppose Mou enjoys a bit of his pace.
4. Mkhi should be starting every single match on the right until the end of the season.

Lucas
Co-sign on Mkhi needing a spot in the XI,dude is the most creative attacker on the squad besides the special Juan
