Lack of quality saw a poor Manchester derby performance

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (I know it’s the 9th January but shut up yeah.)

I’M BACK. Sorry for not writing in a while there are so many reasons why I haven’t written anything.

Alright there isn’t. There’s only two. One being it was christmas, so I simply just could not be arsed to write anything and two; I was balls deep in Ferrero Rochers so I couldn’t physically move after the Gavin and Stacey christmas special. Now it’s the new year and I am back writing and ranting and generally being a miserable bastard for you all to enjoy.

I bet you’re all fucking ecstatic about that aren’t you?

Anyway, onto the football..

December was a month where if I am being completely honest, I feared for the worst. I thought the useless tit at the top would have got hungry for Poch and sacked Ole. We all saw the consecutive games against Tottenham and Manchester City and thought ‘oh shit we’re going to get more fucked than a slag on Deansgate locks’.

But you know what? Solskjaer proved he was better than Jose and Pep in EVERY possible way and beat them both. I thought personally that he saved his job that week. Yes I am very aware Woodward said his job is safe regardless, but I trust him about as much as I trust being in a room alone with a Catholic priest.

I was happy Ole proved his doubters wrong and it shut them up on Twitter anyway. lets have it right yeah, and I would like to think we can all agree, but those with LUHG (mentioning no names) in their twitter name, you’re probably a bit odd.

In hindsight, december was a good month but what bothered me was how inconistent we are. How can we go from beating Spurs and City in the space of a few days to drawing 1-1 with a poor Everton side and being absolutely piss poor against Watford. Keep some form and get some wins on the board to challenge for the top 4.

However, to do this you need a squad with genuine first team quality throughout and we don’t have it. The lack of quality is shining through. Don’t worry, I will talk about January later. Pathetic.

Anyway..

We ended the month very well. Manchester United did not ruin our christmas. We could stuff our face with pigs in blankets with a smile on our face instead of crying into them. Or stuff your face with a cabbage if you’re a vegetarian. Weird bastards they are. A brilliant 4-1 win against the Geordies with Mason Greenwood playing a blinder. This was followed by something I thought i’d never see again. An away win at Burnley with a clean sheet. A good end to 2019.

However…

January so far can only be described as a kick in the bollocks. We are 9 days in and haven’t won a game yet and STILL HAVEN’T SIGNED ANYBODY. NOBODY NOT A SINGLE BASTARD PLAYER. What is the point? How is that tit still in charge of transfers? I’ll tell you why! According to the Glazers, he is doing a great job. He’s making them millions whilst we have to watch the likes of Andreas Pereira hit a one man wall from a FK or Phil Jones flap his arms around and injure himself kicking a ball. Sick to death of it.

We have signed 6 players in 3 years. What kind of rebuild is this Mr Woodward? If you were building my house I would seriously question if the ceiling would fall on my fucking head you flap. He is a failure and until him and the Glazers are gone and a Director of Football is hired nothing will change. Get used to it because they aren’t going anywhere.

Pogba still out injured, Maguire injured, McTominay injured. Phil Jones starts for Manchester United in 2020. It’s almost as if not replacing key players in the squad wouldnt’ come back to bite us in the arse.

He’s incompetent. It’s so frustrating. I am genuinely baffled and pissed off we still havent signed someone. Liverpool, who are 317 points clear at the top of the table, had a deal in place to sign a midfielder on the 1st January.

We can’t let them keep getting away with it.

I really hope we have a good reaction against Norwich. I also hope we sign some fucking players. I also hope for some creme eggs but that’s another problem. I am just so sick of being annoyed at the same issues.

Ole has faults. He is obviously not perfect but people really need to get their heads around the fact that no other manager in world football would get more out of a team with a midfield of Matic, Pereira and Fred. Stop lying to yourself.

Direct your anger at the board. They haven’t signed the players we needed. They haven’t replaced the players that have left. They are a joke and taking the piss out of us. Get them out, not Ole.

Right, I am done. I’m going to listen to some country music and have a Munch Bunch yoghurt. Enjoy the game if you can

But just remember, as always, it might not be the best at Manchester United right now, it could be worse. You could be from Liverpool.
