Shashank fair play on your post below.
Its not that you were wrong it was your opinion at the time. As none of us are educated on the finer points of managing a professional football team at this level we are mostly guessing or reacting to the here and now emotionally.
Not everybody is a strategic thinker or looks at the bigger picture.
Most football fans are reacting on emotions and feelings and can't see past the nose on their own face.
Some here are more in out in out than the hokey kokey.
This is a project and we are a long way from the finished article (if there is such a thing) .
There will be plenty more ups and definitely more downs before the season is out.
But we are on the right track with the right leader.
The place has been toxic from top to bottom for a long time. The business has been undergoing a full restructure and many jobs needed to be cut on top of a poor performing team the noise was unbearable.
I think you said before you go to the games regularly so you should be able to feel the shift in mood better than some of us.
Some of your posts recently were made through obvious frustration and that's understandable.
Strategic thinking and upheaval takes time to reward.
Some of our less mature posters are like the baby bull with the daddy bull looking at a herd of cows in the next field.
The baby bull wants to Charge down and get stuck in and runs out of steam halfway through the herd. But the daddy bull walks down slowly thinking strategically biding his time so he can service the whole herd.
Daddy bull is strategic, and understands that taking time and doing things right will deliver better results.
Lots of fans are like the baby bull just interested in the here and now. Sometimes the penny drops with maturity, knowledge and experience that means there are more important things than the here and now and you shouldn't always react on emotions.
When your a fan its sometimes hard to not react negatively I see Liverpool fans at it now.
I hope and I believe you are right and that we have a keeper in RA.
If i was in a bunker with him staying my leader and he asked me to go over the brow of the hill, I wouldn't be wondering if I should i'd be straight over. If eth had asked me i'd be looking at everyone else asking if they trust his judgement as I didn't.
RA is a leader of men no doubt about that imo.
The most idiotic comment I've read on here from a so called fan was a call to hate the club but support the team. Says all you need to know about the moral fibre of that over emotional person.

The rest was just a load of bull S3x ?
I am firmly in the give RA more time club. I don't count last season. So everyone looking at his win loss etc is just penalising him for a mess he didn't creat. In fact he is the one who has come in and weeded out the ones who need to go and we now feel like he started fresh this season.
Still deficiencies in the squad. Still issues with adoption and results from his new playing style. But now it feels like he should be judged by his results. Take away last season and let him stand or fall from July onwards. So far it is okay and I can see the squad progress, if not the long term vision for this squad.

Db he didn't want the job in oct but he was sort of forced into it i guess.
Walked into the middle of a sh##storm.
But I'm sort of glad he did because it helped weed out some of the eejits in the squad.
Even now he is still walking a tightrope.
We could lose a couple and fall back quite easily. If that happens we can expect a return of all our missing posters and trolls who seem to have less to say after a few wins. Eric kurtis and shashank being the exceptions.
But the work ethic is better from the team so even with some square pegs in round holes we should do enough to improve.
The last time united were within 6 points of the lead after 9 games was when fergie was in charge. So he is doing something right.
2 tough away games in the next 2 I don't know if we will win lose or draw them. i'm hoping for a minimum of 4 points from those next 2 games if we get that then we can all relax as i'd say relegation would be out of the question. ?.

LOL. condescending or what! Rather eloquent piece of writing I wonder why that is, none of the deliberate mistakes within it either to throw of the scent but of course some of us know….
But to the football and all those that were calling for sell Bruno and replace with Baleba, hope you watched the game, how poor is Baleba.100 mil my A***
But runs about a lot Fred done that….

Some positive results and amorim finally getting some momentum.
I was one of the people who more so questioned the players than the style of play luke shaw in the last 2 games has stood into midfield more.
I was critical if him in pre season game against Everton and the arsenal game aswell for pretty much taking ugarte and casemiro out of position back to him.

John i think we have all been critical at one point or another.
No doubt its been slower than we all wanted but the size of the task warrants more tolerance and support.
I think our 4 new signings have only played 3 games together and the new front 3 have started together on 3 occasions.
Time on the training ground is helping and the preparation time we have week to week is slowlypaying divefends.
There will be a few more out results I've no doubt about that.
It going to be some scrap for the European places i'd expect Liverpool to bounce back soon enough with the quality they have to maybe push for a cl place. But at least we are still in the mix at this stage and not hopeless.

I think most of us wanted RA to be given time to succeed. I also think it's fair to say that most of us were really disappointed and had doubts about him after a decent pre season and some exciting signings when we played so poorly after the Arsenal game up until the last three matches.
Now the thing is not get carried away by those last three wins.
We should be beating Sunderland but it was no walk in the park. The Liverpool win was great for bragging rights but Brentford showed them up as a struggling team. We didn't beat the Liverpool team of last year. Our win against Brighton was welcome (especially the number of goals we scored) but when they turned up in the second half we were far from comfortable defending.
Our midfield is still lightweight and we still concede too many chances and goals. I am happy that we are improving but will be happier still if and when we start keeping clean sheets too.
Confidence is a mercurial thing. It can disappear even quicker than it arrives and is a fragile thing. Let's hope that we keep on winning because once the players really are confident and if they can win six or seven on the bounce then they will surely show the full range of talent that they have and other teams will fear them. It will also give RA the ability to keep on coaching how we wants without the inhibiting pressure of constant criticism that follows defeats.

I am at all the games at home and go to some of the away fixtures. mood was he is gone a few weeks ago and all my mates where done with him but something has changed. Went to the scouse away fixture thinking the worst and the abuse we get when we play them.
I hope we get a couple in in Jan on loan that gets us to the summer. It just did not sit right with me sitting in the bottom half and losing games the way we did we have a better squad than that. He has turned it around and hope we start winning a lot more and losing some is part of the game.
I for one never slag our players and they are a lot better than most give them credit except sancho. no heart, no pride no desire.

We needed more goals and I think we are amongst the top scores in the league now, the difference is we’re have also conceded 14 goals and only have one clean sheet.
If we can tighten up at the back and stop making silly mistakes, then it should be a decent season.
