Firstly, our performance vs. Fenerbahce was shit but I don't think we deserved to lose. They scored two screamers and we scored one, apart from that they had one or two good scoring opportunities (but we have the best Gk in the world) and we would have had a clear cut chance if Rooney controlled the ball properly. So, a draw would've been a fair result but because we lost there were meltdowns. I do think Mourinho was to blame for that, as the entire team was bad not some bad performances.

The season so far Overall, we have looked good.The loss against City was due to individual players, i.e., Blind's lack of concentration, Mkhitaryan not pressing, Lingard and Mkhitaryan having poor performances. The midfield, Fellaini and Pogba, wasn't disciplined. Didn't watch Watford away, don't know why we lost. Chelsea away was shit, from the players and Mourinho.

Apart from that we have looked good. Wins against Stoke and Burnley would've been a few positions higher on the table, and there wouldn't be much outrage. Also our excpected goal numbers are reasonably good: https://twitter.com/11tegen11/status/793511667132948480

The midfield United being defensively poor has a lot to do with our midfield. We've usually played with 2 holding midfielders, Pogba and Fellaini/Herrera. None of them can play that role, two palyers that can are Schneiderlin and Carrick, but Schneiderlin has been poor in Europa league and it seems that Mourinho doesn't think Carrick is good enough. Have a look at majority of the goals we've conceded, the midfield isn't tracking runs from opposition midfielders and strikers:

De Bruyne(Man City) https://streamable.com/q1kn (Lot of mistakes in this, but Pogba doesn't stay close to KDB)

Allen(Stoke) https://my.mixtape.moe/qtioud.mp4 (Pogba completely loses him)

Capoue(Watford) https://streamable.com/bclh (Capoue free around the edge of the area)

Zuniga(Watford) https://streamable.com/7r22 (Zuniga also allowed to run into the box unmarked)

Ignoring the Chelsea game, we've conceded 8 goals and over half of them aren't by strikers.

Also, what is Pogba's best position? He isn't really a box-to-box midfielder(doesn't do enough defensively), not as good as Mata at playing the number 10 position, against Burnley(his best performance so far imo) he was basically playing as a winger. Not judging his ability btw, on the ball he's brilliant to watch.

Ibrahimovic He's missed some big chances, which could have had a big impact on the game. For example: Liverpool 0-0, Chelsea 1-0, Stoke 0-0, Burnley 0-0. He played well vs. Burnley, without scoring, but in other games he hasn't had as much of an impact. Don't think he needs to dropped against Swansea but it's frustrating to see him getting the Rooney treatment, i.e, not getting dropped or subbed off after poor games. Also don't understand certain fans defending him, saying he gets into good positions. He's a 34 year-old striker, this should be second nature to him. It would be a different scenario for Rashford and Martial.

Going Forward Still optimistic about our future, considering the age of majority of the squad and their potential. Martial, Shaw, Rashford, Bailly, TFM, Tuanzebe all have high potential ceilings, could also add Januzaj and Memphis if I was extremely optimistic(really like them both but doubt they will make it at United).

Overall, I don't know how Mourinho can solve the midfield dilemma, just hope he can.

Also, just because we lost the author of this article has just looked at players that don't really play and said we're getting rid of them, no real insight: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/11/04/man-utd-transfer-news-jose-mourinho-ready-to-axe-at-least-eight/
