It's a strange feeling at the moment as I flip from blaming one group to the other but today I don't feel like this is the players fault.

Carrick is a legend but pre-season Tielemans was interviewed saying about the lack of fitness training so there is no surprise that he and others looks way off it.

Surely the fundamentals of 'earn the right to play' starts with fitness. You can have the worlds best 11 on paper (which obviously we don't have) but if they are unfit - then you are going to get beat by teams that are - it's not rocket science, it's not even grade 1 literacy, it's basic common sense.

Carrick saying there's more than one way to beat an opponent is fine but it's clear we are letting the opposition do what they want. Being so worried about covering for our defensive frailty's and not putting pressure on the opponent is making us worse not better.

We are in a relegation scrap, Manchester United - the biggest team in England, is in a relegation scrap. That genuinely hurts to say. Even Carrick will admit that enough is enough.

The worse thing is - replace Carrick, Wilcox will still be above, replace Wilcox you have Jim Ratcliffe - the chem dealer, remove him and you still have the Glazer leaches who never put a penny into this club and took everything out. The rot is so deep that even with the miracle that each and every one of those dream killing scum bags taken out of the club it's hard to see the damage being fixed.

My favourite song is Glory Glory Man United the f*** do we sing now.

I had a terrible thought after today's game.

What if they bring OGS back until the end of the season?

I don't see how Carrick can be blamed. He got the feel good feeling back and got you CL football. Then it's got a little bit rough and the players have downed tools again as they know the manger cops it. In my opinion they are the common thread through all this manager merry go round.

The cycle will repeat until the dressing room is sorted.

Carrick isn't without fault, but the powers that be didn't learn the last time a former player did well and got the job. He should have been thanked and you should have moved on. Most football fans saw it, yet the hierarchy took the easy choice. Now your back to square one. Those guys are paid big bucks to make tough decisions and should have been able to see where this would go.

However, I don't think you'll be in a scrap. A new manager will come in where the players will respond. Then Itll get tough and he will be sacked in a year or two.

Just one last point on the players, yes they are given tactics but they still are the ones on the pitch. They can still deliver and put 100% in, right now are any of them doing that for the fans? It's the bare minimum and they should be able to motivate themselves and have some pride in what they are showing.

WYred, I'm assuming you haven't seen the football, the lack of effort, the keep compact and don't press tactics that have come from the coaching staff as per the player's words and the coach.

Is it on the players as well? Sure, but something seems extremely off when players join the club and say we're not running.
