Gave my opinion at the start of the season somewhere.

We have a manager that has not won anything in his entire career and an assistant manager who has done awful throughout his PL managing career - I said we wouldn't win anything this season and stick by it.  I was amazed that we went on an 18 game unbeaten run at the start of the season - well and truly found out with some of those results... but unbelievably, even with a decent run, united could still finish 6th and arse and spurs are the biggest bottle jobs going so - so there's still hope for top 4 I guess.. but the football has been more boring under Sarri than it was under Mourinho.. I'd take Mourinho back for a 3rd time even if it is for temporary success, only side he didn't win the title with, was United lol.

I'm surprised anyone but harv is still here tbh, as soon as united start winning a few games you never hear the end of it from him, same old, same old... I bet he still thinks united are actually going to win something this season lol.

We'll we've got a good chance of winning the FA Cup and are still in the Champions League. Even if we win bugger all and don't get a top four place I (and the vast majority of United fans) am just happy that we're playing attacking football again.

The frustrating thing is that we've had a squad capable of winning the Premiership every season since Fergie retired but poor managers playing boring defensive football has prevented us from reaching that goal.

Ollie's record since taking over in all competitions is Premiership winning form:

P18 W14 D2 L2 F39 A13 GD+26

Well it's that time of year again - the Worthless Cup 8)

Spurs got knocked out on penalties, arse and City are through to the next round.

United have Rochdale tomorrow, the way we've been playing we'll probably get fucking battered lol ;D

Strong team from Ollie:

Romero

Wan-Bissaka Tuanzebe Jones Rojo

Pogba Fred

Pereira Lingard Chongy

Greenwood

0-0 at halftime. Their keeper has made a couple of decent saves and Pogba missed a sitter. :(

I reckon we'll end up going out from penalties just like the Spuds :'(

Bloody penalties, we should have had a penalty at the end too. :'(

Well that was a relief, we scored all of them and Rochdale missed one so we're through to the next round.

Their keeper deserved the MOTM, he was outstanding.

Poor finishing from United again though. We should have scored 3 or 4 goals but most of our attempts were off target.

Three at the back for United again with four changes to the side that beat the Canaries:

Romero

Lindelof Maguire Rojo

Wan-Bissaka Fred McTominay Williams

Lingard

James Rashford

Probably 3-4-3 with Lingard as the number 10 I think.

And that's halftime with United going in a goal up. Chelsea have had plenty of possession but haven't been able to do much with it thanks mainly to McTominay. They've hardly been in the final third and when they did manage to break through our three central defenders have cut their goal chances down to just 2 and they've both been off target.

United haven't done THAT much better though, 4 attempts on goal and 2 on target...and one of those was a penalty.

It's a very tight game so far and pretty boring to watch. :(

Looks like Fat Frank got the hairdryer out during the break, much better half from Chelsea and Batshuayi has just scored a great equaliser  :o

United switching to a back four with Martial coming on for Lindelof and Pereira coming on for Lingard.
