This weekend offers Man Utd their best opportunity to get away from 6th place. IF they beat Bournemouth, they WILL move away from 6th - no matter what happens in the other games.

We simply have to beat Bournemouth, a draw will be a defeat.

We just have to win our games, if possible win all of them.

Feels like Man Utd have not played a league game for ages (after 4 successive cup games). With the fixture congestion, I still maintain that it was a mistake to sell Schneiderlin. Playing Saturday, flying to Russia to play on a Thursday, Saturday, Monday is gruelling. Schneiderlin would have offered a rotation option. An injury or suspension to Pogba or Andrew Smith would be problematic as the other options left would be two guys with a combined age of nearly 70, and Fellaini.

Hope lessons are learned. I still don't think Mourinho should have started Rooney in today's match. He needs to be more ruthless when it comes to performance. That's one of Sir Alex's secrets. You win the matches you should win and do your best in the difficult ones.

Only 39 league goals this season.
Every single team above Man Utd on the log table has scored 50 or more.
Even Everton below has more goals.

What was Rooney doing in the starting line up?? Mourinho, if we started the team that finished the game, we would have beaten Bournemouth quite easily, The result felt like a loss to me , Mourinho is to blame, Rooney is finished as a player

Indeed. Rooney prevented the players from scoring. He even conceded a penalty and refused to score a penalty :tic:

I have said repeatedly that Man Utd/Mourinho should rotate the squad more. Yesterday against Bournemouth the team paid the price for the lack of rotation. In the second half when Man Utd were looking for the winner they could have done with the guile of a creative player that can unlock defences. Someone like Mkhitaryan...who sadly was not available to play because he got injured while playing a Europa League 2nd leg game in a tie where Man Utd were already 3-0 up from the first leg. Zlatan). Zlatan and Pogba (who also played in said Europa League game) played with the verve and panache of statues.

When you are in 4 competitions and have a fixture pile up, playing key players like Zlatan, Pogba, Mkhitaryan every game and in dead rubber Europa League games is not a good idea.

Other points:

1) Jose - it is not illegal to sub off Zlatan and Pogba when they are playing badly.

2) The Man Utd lack the two key qualities of SAF's teams: mental strength and ruthlessness.
