I agree. Regardless of ownership, we buy players who have done well at other clubs and then they come here and it doesn’t seem to matter. Different managers too. I just don’t get it. Just end up playing poorly, looking like no effort and losing to anyone

Well no of course they aren’t being told but buck stops with him to manage that. What gets me is how we see the same type of performances and issues on the field even with different players and managers.

Earnt the right to be in the mix but the performances were already on the slide. I thought it should of been left as a great interim spell. Regardless of signing a left back and striker, there is a clear lack of urgency and a ‘what are we supposed to be doing’ attitude now.

What do you think their intentions are Adam?

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
True. I love Bruno. But it has crossed my mind in recent years when he does go, if the need to share the creativity burden will be a benefit in some way. If we aren’t counter attacking, it just seems to be ‘bruno creates something’ or nothing.

Can fully understand that. For years now, we’ve looked lost when we have lots of the ball. Don’t think our players have been coached for years in what patterns we’ll use to break teams down. Which explains no matter who we sign, it looks so disconnected and like nobody has any real idea what to do

How is it weaker? 🤔

Said for ages it’s a way to interfere with results. You can’t tell me at other end they would of found a way to give that. For whatever reason, the var guy wanted that goal to stand

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Was really disappointed with how we reacted after the ‘goal’ but that kind of thing completely shifts momentum. City buzzing they got away with one, flowing with confidence and ref giving them a foul everytime they threw themselves to floor. Got to be stronger mentally but can see why it happened

Heavily influenced by tv coverage I think. On one hand sky did straight away say it’s wrong but they repeatedly peppered the coverage of it with ‘city were the better team so…’ never how football has worked. Scousers went mad about that offside v spurs years ago and got every decision rest season

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I can’t understand why attackers who have consistently shown how creative they are (with Utd at times and previous teams) have as little idea what to do to score against 10 men as they did today. It’s like they didn’t want to score. It was baffling

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Not the first time we’ve been pathetic against 10 men in the last couple years
010
Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Did our players not want to score there? Zero interest or urgency after City’s goal. Completely bizarre performance, not the first time we’ve pathetically succumbed to 10 men either

Similar style player then Merlin

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
I think this. I think Enzo Fernandez may go to city and that could let us in on Anderson. It’s looking pretty likely we will have Ederson and M. Fernandes i’d say

The performances in all honesty concern me a little. Ground out results but largely performances not been great

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
I’m delighted with what he’s done, it’s been almost a perfect interim performance. But i’d be disappointed if we kept him on. Ideal for all parties to leave it as it is

Thoughts on carrick merlin? Thank him for his work at end of season but look elsewhere or keep him on?

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
This group are the least trustworthy? I’d disagree with that. Think a lot, if not all of the bad apples, are now gone or won’t play for us again.

Makes you why it ended up being a flash in the pan

Good shout. Still, you’ve got the most valuable player in world and you’re not double checking ‘which one is it again’ 😂

I don’t understand how Mbappe didn’t point out ‘it’s the other knee that’s hurting’?!

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
They know what they are doing. Average fan can see so they will know. It’s political reasons why they do and don’t give things. It’s Utd we get pelters if we give them things and easier not to/They’ve already had a pen/Want to back their mate on the field/want to level game up/make it interesting.

I thought the idea over the summer, which I agreed with, was not to buy players that are completely wedded to a system so that in the event it didn’t work out we wouldn’t be left with players who can only play a set system…

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
I honestly do not get the lack of ambition to attack in both games. I’d love a journalist to ask him. Complete lack of urgency. Where was the quick ball play from the first few games gone.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
Result* The performance was on par with the last three (West Ham, Everton, Palace). Which we got out of playing badly. So it seemed as if the players assumed we would again. Might be a good reality check.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
Every one of our games they are absolutely desperate to praise the opponent for anything and completely ignore or laugh off anything bad they do. And if someone runs around a lot acts passionately - they are a shoe in for man of the match. It’s the same routine every time.

Not sure on that. Van Dijk is 34 and Liverpool renewed his contract last year after winning the league

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Well I do agree on the chaos/ interference you are implying. We are just turning into Chelsea IF higher ups are trying to coach the team. That is what concerns me. This is the first time i’ve genuinely hit an acceptance that it’s gunna be a Liverpool style 30 years before we win the league again.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
No mate, made it up on the spot for the craic. Yes, it was in the Athletic articles. He generally agreed with the transfer approach and that the midfield priority targets would be targeted in the summer. His main gripe was not getting Semenyo now and to a lesser degree, Watkins and Martinez.
110
Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
He got a whole new attack plus a starting goalkeeper in the summer and he agreed to leave the central midfield. I don’t see how he wasn’t backed. When he acts unprofessionally after he was questioned by his boss why he’d reverted back to a previously failing formation, then he got sacked.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Amorim revisionism is incredible 😂 our worst manager in PL era, could not beat any of B’mouth, Wolves, West Ham, 10 man Everton at home in the six weeks before he was sacked, and acted unprofessionally because he actually wanted to be sacked. Now some acting like it was audacious decision😂

Is there? I thought that was a relatively decent first half bar the goal

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Do not understand this attack on our identity by the press. Like somehow people have found a way to try and erase our success, telling us we should forget about it all and what our club stands for. ‘What is the man utd way anyway?’ I mean it’s easy. Attacking football, flying wingers, youth, success

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Did you read it Merlin? Felt it was a really forced piece. Whole point was Man Utd are obsessed with their past, but then used AC Milan bringing in Maldini (an ex player) as technical director as an example of what they should do?! Also we are only looking at Ole, Carra as an interim…

Nope. The collective head-loss at anything is making it’s way here now too

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Did anyone read James Horncastle’s piece in the Athletic on us? (very good Italian footy journo, but for some reason writing about Utd)?!

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Absolutely. Issue is, already seeing on here people saying ‘Saw someone say (presumably on social media) that INEOS are listening to XYZ in who to appoint! 😡 they are HOPELESS!’ Concerning X style behaviours of getting angry at things nobody knows is true & likely made up by a stranger on internet

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
That won’t stop the X crew saying he’s just about vibes. They don’t let the truth get in the way.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
I cannot see that they just can’t be arsed to spend the money to the detriment of the club and their reputations which are on the line. There’s a lot of deciding assumptions are the truth with Utd.
110
Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
Is it not that if we spend the money now on a non primary target we won’t have enough to afford a primary target in summer? Or we’d have to compensate elsewhere?

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
I think the Southgate thing is just brewed up by the media because they know all other fans will mock Utd for it.

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
A) Nagelsmann B) Glasner

Lyle @lds0507.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
Yeah, people have chosen what they want to believe. If sky got anyone that stood up for utd they wouldn’t get invited back. Not what fans of every other club want to watch. Sky would get hounded ‘bias’. Is what it is. Just makes it hard to discuss with anybody about Utd as they are so brainwashed 😂
