heard/read a lot of moaning about the international break but tbh I kinda like getting a weekend without club footy, esp when the Nations League is so easy to ignore

You got two players running side by side jostling for position, there should be a different interpretation with that. That Lukaku goal should have stood. That should have been the winner.
What a heartbreaking loss. Belgium was the better team. It was the same way in the World Cup....heartbreakingly coming up short.

Given how good players look for national teams, big side eye to Koeman still having a job. You have gavi, fdj, pedri, and busi and our midfield gets bossed regularly? Has to be tactics.
Plus, gavi and pedri learning from xavi? Cmon, LaPorta, stop fucking around.

Saw the team selection and thought, man, you couldn't have rotated just a little more, Jurgen?
Hopefully Ranieri gets them headed in the right direction. Tough match to start a tenure with. At Everton next week won't be much better, but Southampton at home after that should get hem sorted.

I mean, I know everyone is saying that Ole is a company man so he's safe, but...you gotta fire him, right?
This season is quickly heading towards dumpster fire and all Ole had to do is win SOMETHING and we're bottom of the group as it stands, already out of one domestic cup and trending the wrong way the league.

i mean, they can say that but what...MU fires Ole and Fernandes retires?
LOL.
edit: please understand I'm not coming for Ole with pitchforks and torches. as a MU fan I just want us to be playing like we should be. that's all i care about and i don't care who runs the team more or less as long as that is happening.
67. "Koeman's lack of tactics are infuriating" In response to Reply # 0
so many times with the ball, no clear idea how the team would attack and then out of panic puts Pique at CF and, surprise, counter attack scores a second for real madrid.
honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them not even qualify for CL if he gets the full year.
73. "They're saying Xavi's got the job" In response to Reply # 70
I don't want to put too much faith in him as our "savior" or anything like that. Realistically, he has very little managerial experience. If it's him, I hope he's successful. And at the same time, with all the young talent we have in midfield (De Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Nico, Riqui), the prospect of them learning from him almost has me salivating.

74. "even if Xavi doesn't succeed, it's so obviously the right choice" In response to Reply # 73
1. he's tied to the recent era of success, so he'll get a much longer period to fix things, which the team needs
2. as you say, the strength of the team is the young midfield potential, but Koeman refused to play some, overplayed others and didn't give them clear tactical support to learn on the job. and xavi has to, at least, be good at teaching up barca midfielders given he did it while also playing midfield with them before.
3. his desired style of play fits the talent the team has and he has the credibility to bench high priced but bad performing players and to demand better pressing effots from others.
