Dan young,your mourinho is worst than van gaal,we got the wrong coach. Van gaal or giggs or koeman could've been far better than mourinho with this squad,no game plan,just sit back wait for the opponent to make a mistake,bad man management,bad substitutions.. Why bring on zlatan when we need creativity. Mourinho out!

You are right kross, fergie was the last of a breed of managers that could kick a boot at your head and give you the hairdryer. The same way giggs scholes ferdi vida & evra were the last of a leading group.

As much as I appreciate Rooneys contributions in the past, he is not the same player. Also wasn't a leader then, and not that type of leader now.

All the deficiencies of the squad laid bare once again

Rooney, Rojo, Darmian, Shaw, Schneiderlin stands out as the worst of a bad bunch. Other not far behind at all. Our problem runs very deep, and the only mitigation for Mourinho is that the players with the absolute worst performances were already here when he took over.

Mourinho's record is good, but he is no Fergie, he won't be able to get Cleverley playing like a world class player.

Its a long road back, and many players need to be kicked out.

Moyes removed our backroom staff, LVG removed our play style, lets see whats next

Then what the fuck is he doing here?

Marq November 4, 2016

Because its fucking retarded to think there is someone out there who can make a Cleverley play like a world class player

lims November 4, 2016

Lol, pray do tell what a manager is for. That's his job, make players better. It's retarded you think that's not part of his job.

denislawking November 4, 2016

Whew - I'm glad that's over. What an embarrassing display. To make matters worse, Rooney got one nearer Sir Bobby's record. (Mind you, it was a beauty)

Let's look on the bright side, by not qualifying, at least we will be able to concentrate on a top ten finish... maybe? If we lose Sunday - well, lets wait until Sunday.

Personally I don't buy this talk of us needing several years to get back on track. Last season we finished higher than Liverpool. Klopp has made them MUCH better than us in just a year. So with a coach/manager as good as Klopp we shouldn't need more than a year, or even less considering our squad material at the start of the season was better than Liverpools squad material when he took over.

So the question is if Mourinho is as good or better than Klopp? So far the evidence points to a resounding no. I am willing to give Mourinho more time even though he was not my first choice (Klopp was) IF he changes a lot of the things he's done so far. He *could* still turn it around. Im not going to say Mourinho out just yet but neither am I going to criticize those who do. I see no reason why Mourinho should still be here next season if we don't get top four or win UEL.

It seems like the situation just gets worse. At least Rooney remembered how to score. I agree Miki should have come on after Pogba got injured with Rooney remaining as a 9 he doesn't look good as a 10 anymore.

On Sunday this lot should run their socks off until they drop .

At least prove to us you have some backbone,

Denis,

I hope no one comes out with those haunting words that we did in 1973/74.

But at least that side had spirit

They should do that in every match. and play a bit of bloody football.

I'll tell you what...with no red till yer dead players in the squad we will struggle.
No Nevilles, Fletcher, John O'Shea types. All fucking blow ins from all corners of the world and
they just don't feel the club. That is what is missing.

Hendrix knightsmith November 4, 2016

gra mar,

Mark my words, we are sleepwalking into relegation form .

We are slipping down the table faster than a Fireman slips down his pole .

Swansea won't be easy, and Arsenal must be licking their lips at the thought of playing us at the moment ,

We have no defence, with Blind and Rojo at the back we need to score three just to make sure.

We just cannot score goals, the side is pedestrian with no fight in it .

I question the mental strength of our signings, most have been a disaster if we're honest !

Hendrix knightsmith November 4, 2016

Gra mar,

Everyone is out in force taking the piss to day, and who can blame them ?

There is no way I can defend the players, they are spineless .

I just find it unbelievable that we can be so bad for so long .

As I said, I question the sort of players we sign !

gra mar November 4, 2016

I don't fancy going to Swansea at all Trevor.
It's a sad day that you fear the worst going to play some shit arse provincial team but for 3 seasons now that's been the case.
What I wouldn't give to have Sir Alex back on the bench. Even a fucking wax figure...anything!

Something to ponder, a formula to brung back the old day's winning mentality, the kings of come back, the never dying attitude, urgent counter attacking, nimble trasitions of ball.

Bring players who can cross balls and tear flanks a part(classic wongers), players who have vision to find people in the box and pass them balls without hesitation, someone who can shoot and fo tricks, a lethal finisher who passionately celebrate with his teammates, and last but not the least a leader who can pick on the opponents like Roy Keane and instructs and get furious in teamates. That was our tradition, now if want to draw conclusions on managers that is fine but not following our tradition then we are in a bottomless abyss!!

Nonsense.

The team was dreadful to watch week after week and getting worse.

I would have rather seen Giggsy get the job than him!

As we failde getting Klopp, pep or Acelotti, I would have thought about Koeman, Pochetino, maybe Blanc!

I always believed that when Fergie retired, club would have planned the transition carefully. It appears they all did hardly anything, leading to the job being given to an out of depth manager like Moyes! In that season, Mike and Rene would have done much better job than him.

I never wanted Mourinho at United, but accepted him and hoped that he would prove me wrong. At the moment I cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel that we are currently in!
