The way we're playing. He said it in his post.

So playing attractive football is superior to winning things? If that is the case they something is seriously wrong because that should not be case in any circumstance.

Have some patience. We haven't got £500m to splash around aimlessly in the hope it eventually sticks. Throwing money around brings short term success but it's hollow. We have to build our way upwards the harder way and it's more satisfying when we do win trophies.
Let's hope that when happens

Talking about the last 12 years

Bit selective no? In the last 3 years they've won two fa cups and are in the final again.

Focus on positives not the negatives. Yes we want trophies but we've had a good season regardless and i'd much rather go into next season with our manager and squad than theirs.

You need to stop being so impatient.

The club hasn't won a trophy in nearly a decade, it last won the FA Cup 26 years ago and a UEFA cup 33 years ago and we are being impatient? A very average United side has done that in 12 months, questions should be asked in that circumstance.

If we won the treble you'd moan we didn't do the quadruple.
If you can't see we've had a good season despite not winning a trophy i can't help you.

I would take a league cup over CL so I highly doubt that somehow.

And the point is we have plenty of good seasons without winning anything, we had that with Jol, Redknapp and now Pochettinho. We need to move from that and have an end product.

Seriously ? Would you rather have watched ManU bore the fuck out of you all season and finish up with what they have or watch what we've played all season ?

If that's success, I'm in no hurry to swap it for our failure.

And they may be average, but that's only because their manager is too much of a coward to get the most out of a team that's had 450 million spent on in the last three years.

He's playing against a team who came second in Europe's 6th or 7th league with an average age of about 14 and his tactics are to play like fucking Leicester playing against Real Madrid ?

So what's your course of action?

i said it countless times before, the culture and priotisation at the club is completely wrong. Reversing this in-beaded CL qualification mentality would be the first start.

Such a young team - hardly surprising they froze a bit on the big stage.
I think this Ajax team's average age is just under 21, which is ridiculously young for a team that's just reached a Europa League final and finished one point shy of the Eredivisie title. Just hope this team doesn't suffer at the hands of the wealthier clubs in England, Spain, Italy and France the way their 1995 Champions League winners were plundered, but if the current players keep progressing, I guess it's only a matter of time before it happens.

Well that's not gonna happen so you're out of luck.
