United 0-0 Valencia: 4 Crucial Matters Arising.




Following the 3-1 'hammering' of the Red Devils by West Ham last weekend, José Mourinho's Manchester United failed yet again to recover their pride after a dour draw against Valencia in their match day 2 Champions League clash.


Here are a four matters arising from this clash.👇

1. THERE IS TROUBLE AT OLD TRAFFORD
It is now four games in all competitions without a win for our dear United. Infact, Manchester United have now failed to win any game at Old Trafford since the opening day of the season, what is happening? 'Kilodè'?




To add pepper to the injury, this is United's worst start to a season in 29years. For how long shall we suffer this 'yabbing' from our 'bad bele' rivals? The Moyes days are truly fast approaching. What shall we do to be saved? 

2. WHY FELLAINI?
On the one day we were sure our opponents will keep the ball on the ground due to their Spanish traditional style, José Uchenna Mourinho played his first son Oga Fela in the starting XI for 90mins.

As expected, he was as useless as the "ay" in "OK" all game, having no impact whatsoever.

To add pepper to the injury, our Samba boys Fred and Andreas Pereira, as well as Juan Mata watched idly from the bench and played no part through the 90mins. What shall we do to be saved?

3. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO PLAN.
In a similar story to our season so far, United had no plan whatsoever to attack against struggling Valencia. When the team was on the ball, no movement, no attempts to take up dangerous positions in attack.



It appears the "Kick off, DEFEND and do your best for 90 minutes" is the official plan for José Mourinho at the moment. What shall we do to be saved from this misery?

This game was against Valencia, a team that has only scored 5 goals all season, a team beaten by 10-man 'Ronaldo-less' Juventus. What is the excuse? 

4. HOW DID ALEXIS GET HERE?
He scored 80 goals, and provided 46 assists in 166 games for Arsenal, so a goal contribution every 1.32 games. For United, its been 3goals in all competitions since January.

Yesterday, the Chilean was given a go on United's troublesome right wing slot, a position he did so well in at Arsenal and Barcelona. How did it end? Yet another terrible performance, heading fast to be tagged the worst number 7 in United's history.


He was substituted in the 75th minute, after playing like a combination of Falcao at United and Pius Ikedia of Naija. What shall he do to be saved? 

IN THE END, it was another "Amaka performance" which has been the order of the day for some time. At this rate, the #JoséOut chorus will soon be acted upon.

OPINION POLL
What must United do to be saved?
