We lost 6 in 38 last season in the league so assume you’ve included Europa games in that run and last season there was plenty of good results but not always good performances. I just feel like this season the luck run out.
You can make an argument when it’s one player and in Shearer’s case he was scoring at a ridiculous rate in club football just couldn’t bag for England.
I’d have had no issue with him benching anyone after that Liverpool game it was embarrassing and maybe it would have given a few players a reality check and snapped them back into life but he didn’t he kept playing all of them.
A good man lost his job but there can be no debate that he had to go.
I didn't do the counting, it was mentioned in the Sky commentary of the Watford match on Saturday night, and Sky wouldn't go out of their way to say anything positive about United if they didn't have to.

You've got a decision to make as Manager, do you bench players when they are not performing, or keep them in and hope you get a reaction from them to your bollocking, the fact we got two great results after the Liverpool debacle suggests he did.
There's no debate if you conveniently ignore the form of the team and the progress the club has made prior to the recent set of results.
