      Some eye watering salaries in that squad I tell you. See here.

      Martial on 250k a week, absolutely stealing a living  😃

      The devil is in the detail..

          I say stick with him. Either that or bring back Moyes… [emoji1]

          In all seriousness, you could go back in time and get a 20 years younger Fergie in and with that squad it wouldn’t matter. As long as Woodward is running the show on the behalf of the Glazers, it is only going to go backwards.

            You are spot on @neph93 - with the owners more interested in making money and Woodward being the puppet to make that happen, there isn't a manager in the world with a hope!

              @AdamC  ahh fuck. not even going to go on about it. got up at 430/5 in the morning. saw it was 1-0 down, went back to sleep.

              tbf, mourinho was the right man for the job. but guess what, he got sacked. the right man to sack imo is Ed Woodward Ed Deadwood. not a fan of changing managers like undies but since solskjaer is already here, stick by him.

                Well said - I am not sure Mourinho or Solskjaer are right for the job, but nothing will change by getting rid of him either.  He has the right ideas and wants to bring in the youth but lacks a bit of tactical nous and seemingly a bit of bite to put the fear into the players when they aren't performing well enough.  The players needs to take a fair portion of the blame as well.  One week they are unstoppable, the next they would struggle against your lot in Perth  😃

                  if they played the same way they do against smaller teams, perth glory will sure give them a run for their money. they only won 2-0 here in july last year..  😃

                  somehow, the tactics so far have only benefitted them in bigger games when they can counter attack quickly and struggle against smaller teams that are happy to sit back and defend.

                      @AdamC look on the bright side. the pitch was shit, maguire and dalot opened his account and lingard scored.  😃 😃
                      4 out of the 6 goals were top bins too  😎 😎

                            Fernandes is quality, no doubt. The problem with me now is that I'm so pessimistic with the state of affairs that instead of looking at the Fernandes signing with excitement and optimism, I look at it and think man…does Fernandes know that he's getting himself into?

                              @manufc10 it is definitely a step in the right direction, I feared we wouldn't be able to attract any "big names" so I am pleased in that respect.  It just shows how far our stock has fallen when the manchester derby last night (albeit in the league cup) didnt make the home page of BBC Sport  😞

                                That was how Liverpool fans felt for long periods. Not least when Torres came. We had a couple of half decent squad players but a lot of shite, and the. Stevie G and Torres who were world class and carried the team. It was a little embarrassing.

                                I suppose the way to look at it is to hope it is a start. That the team building that needs to be done begins with this guy.

                                  That's very true and I agree.  I feared we were going to end up letting him slip away but I was very pleased to see we snagged him. Not only because he is a great player that will add value but to also prove we can still snag some "big names" like you said.

                                    I'm still not sure what we should do about Pogba though….I can't decide if we will be better off with him or without him.

                                      @AdamC well i'm more happy that they've managed to signed him instead of dicking about with money, contracts and all that crap that shitward is doing. i'll take what he did at sporting with a pinch of salt because not many great players overseas do well in the premier league.. but definitely looks promising..
