unconvincing

It was a surreal, unconvincing performance that was being watched across the Atlantic by plenty of people who recognised the main character.

United were struggling, unconvincing in their quest to hold off Athletic Bilbao and reach the Europa League final.

But victory, even if unconvincing, sees Chelsea leapfrog Manchester City and move back in fourth place with Champions League qualification back in the club's sights for the first time under this new ownership.

The levels of gaslighting and hand-waving on the right are getting to ridiculous levels, in their unconvincing efforts to deny that the firing of Brown was discrimination.

A poor display against Germany in October led to a 4-3 defeat before unconvincing victories over South Africa and Switzerland and a goalless draw with an injury-hit United States.
