I disagree that its one of the worst Mou teams ever.

Yes I do basically just mean Chelsea. Frankly the higher tier of English football is pretty loose and jaded this year. Teams have been so disorganized and been taken by the occasion so often. So much kick and rush among top teams and no one trying to control the tempo of the game in possession or trying to ride out a bad period by slowing it down. Because playing it down the flank and using afroman for knockdowns is so much simpler.

Look if you feel like this way of playing gets you places and is impressive. Thats great, good for you. But my belief is it wont get you very far in Europe, not often anyway. Besides I didnt say United was playing poorly or anything so I dont get whats so upsetting.

The Liverpool, Villa and City games are the first time Ive seen United play good football all year. Like impressive football. And Ashley Young has looked like the best player alot of the time. But lets be honest. Its Ashley Young and hes going to start pissing himself at some point. Quote me on it. Its not even like he has quality on either foot. He needs to cut and if teams are letting him cut to put good balls in thats pretty sad for said team. Again if you think that way of playing gets you places great.

Still if you think Man City were not god awful and mentally shot after the second went in then your in some weird denial space and getting horny about a team thats not as good as you think it is.

Even Liverpool since the turn of the year had their run and looked like a killer team. They are not. Form ebbs and flows and \this is clearly United on a high. But playing out of your skin for a few weeks doesnt make you a good team. Look at the season on a whole thats what tells you where you are.

Still if all it takes is a good run to get your dick hard and panties in a twist every time someone criticizes them I cant imagine how bad people like you will be if they actually start winning again. Atleast Arsenal fans enjoy their yearly run of form to a CL spot with some dignity and accept that they arent a champion team. Then again it took them quite a few years to figure that out.

edit.

The reason I respect Simeone is because he doesnt pretend to be anything more than he is and he doesnt try to make excuses for the way he plays and he understands its limitations. He also doesnt get to spend 200 mill on duds...

the funniest part about Man U right now is that, despite playing their best football in the last 3-4 games. Rooney has been pretty shit for all of them. with that spectacular turn and volley an exception, he's either lost for 80-90% of the game or keeps losing the ball.

Wow, ok.

Sorry but this is hilariously biased. United play "kick and rush" now? Have you watched a single game were played?
Ashley young is going to "piss himself" at some point, what does this even mean? He's played in a title winning squad, you know that right? And that his way of playing isn't going to "get us places", well its been getting us in the best form of the league recently so im not sure what that's all about. Then, like usual, you go on about how we aren't good other teams are terrible. As a united fan im used to this, almost every year, especially the years we won the titles, we had oppo fans telling us we were terrible and would get "found out" ect.

Then you tell us to look at were we are as a whole and say that tells us were we are. Ok lets play that game. We are 1 point away from second in the table, mathematically still title challengers (albeit dreaming if we think we have any chance of doing that) We started the season as 7th from the year previous, new manager, totally new style of play, had to replace the entire back 4 and the worst injury crisis I've ever seen at this club. We've come out, looking like we will be 2nd or 3rd, and playing some beautiful football while we are at it. That tells me exactly were we are.

As for the "dick hard, panties in a twist comment" which is getting borderline personal, I was merely responding to someone who was being absurdly dismissive, hysterically tendentious and patronizing about our recent form on an open public forum which you know fans of all teams read (despite there obviously being a huge Chelsea love-in here ). If anything your the one with panties in a twist lol.
