Obviously it's the players' fault for not responding to his modern tactis and his amazing man management.

Am I doing ok, Yusuf?

When fans shout ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK...Mourinho hears DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND

Hahaha, definitely agreed to that.

Taking the fun aside, poor Fergie I fesr for his health.. i am sure watching this game would really make him very sad and depressed. Someone please tell him to stay home or play golf with family... this is just beyond shmbolic, transcendening every level of mediocrity.. out for jogging, hope you all stat safe guys.

He has to go, 3 defeats, (inc Brighton & West Ham), draw to Wolves.

Untenable...

I'd stay at Old Trafford if I got the chance to manage us!

Bryan
Aaaaah.. that's it.. I couldn't quite figure it out.. it was the bubbles.. getting in the way of our players! That weak bunch can't even fight off bubbles!

Hendrix
SAF leaving dropped us down a little, Moyes took us down another few places, LVG brought us up a notch and now Mourinho has slammed us right down to the ground!

I was mocked for saying Mourinho was worse than Moyes but it seems now, plenty are starting to see it!

Can we please ask Wenger to publicly tell mourinho he's tired for being a specialist in failure? Nothing less than what he deserves! Mourinho that is..

Fired* Lol

Mobi September 29, 2018

Aaah this came on the wrong page..

It should be
I want us to publicly shame Mourinho and sack him by Wenger telling him he's a specialist in failure!

Yusuf September 29, 2018

I can’t even defend this. One CB and one RW wouldnt have changed the fortune of this regime. I think that this a tactically outdated manager who seems to find it difficult to create a harmonious squad and it’s evident in our performances ...

Does he deserve to be sacked? Well if he cannot adapt, yes! Give him the Jan window and see where we finish come seasons end. We still have the cups. We must finish in the Top 4,, or else.

AncelottI or Poch would be my choices. Not Zidane and certainly not Giggs

NO! SIMPLY A BIG FAT NO! DON'T GIVE HIM ONE MORE SECOND!

Hendrix knightsmith September 29, 2018

WAU,

I know I have a go at them, but I just cannot believe the players can be this bad.

I despise Mourinho with a venom as a person.

But I honestly thought Jose would be the perfect fit for United.

He has turned out to be the worst signing we have ever made .

I think get rid of him instantly, install Carrick /Giggs/ or Mobi in charge until Christmas. Then Zidane or someone similar , then give them some funding in the January transfer window (not the ideal time I know).

The instant he goes I think a lot of players will suddenly find some form

In fairness West Ham did play very well, as did Brighton, as did Wolves, as did Derby.

There is a reason for this pattern

Blaming the bubbles was something that brought back memories from a time when we were playing Southampton away and changed the kit at half time.

Having been outplayed Fergie (bless him) blamed our terrible start on the kit!!

Yusuf there is nothing to defend. He has to go as does quite a few players.

Need to get someone in, spark some confidence and have a sunmer clear out.

Zidane is the obvious option. Ancelotti & Poch have jobs already.

Fuk no

Moyes was the first step to doom for us. A DISGRACE. So stop that narrative. Its only you and some of romers here saying that. Outside of herr there’s 1% saying that

He was the step in the wrong decision so albeit all being bad now, this false narrative had to stop. Moyes was the worst thing ever to happen to the club. Period

Pellegrini was replaced by Mourinho at Real Madrid and the Portuguese said ahead of a game against the Chilean's Málaga side: "If Real Madrid sack me, I wouldn't go to Málaga."

Wonder where he'll go when United sack him. Mourinho will have a eat a big dirty slice of humble pie as he isn’t getting another top job

All his success has been built around the 'mentality' of his player. No wonder he believes is 'old players' bcos he thinks they have the 'right mentalty' as against young players. Hence, anyone asking mourinho to change tactics or approach to football is just waisting time. He doesnt understand that. He's football sense start and end with the players ability and 'mentality' nothing like tactics, coaching etc.

Lol , We just got beaten by a west ham side...how mourinho still got a job is the puzzle I can't solve. I said it in the other post that we'll get beaten today. Jose is the worst manger to ever coach us, I'll keep saying it... The earlier we kick this virus out the better for us. He should go and coach bottom table teams how to park buses. Such useless tactics doesn't work for big teams anymore. He's very past it.

Agreed outplayed again.

And you’re part right: the players aren’t that bad, well at least they weren’t to begin with, some were actually quite good. But man is Mourinho setting them up to look bad.

Jose Mourinho has just spoken to BT Sport. He says people have been asking for Anthony Martial to be given a chance for "months and months" ahead of Alexis Sanchez.

He says he decided to give him a chance.

So not Jose's fault then ?

That's why I said people are starting to say it now..

The United fans on BBC live commentary page, on twitter, on other fan blogs..

I'll tell you why.. Moyes wasn't a bully, didn't disrespect the club/supporters for his own ego.. didn't lose the dressing room, wasn't as big an embarrassment as Mourinho is, didn't get the time or backing mourinho has, and overall didn't underperform as much or as spectacularly as Mourinho has..

Of course, it's just an opinion, and one that for the time being at least, majority of the United supporters don't share.. but it's well thought through and not just a knee jerk reaction to a loss..

Are you willing to bet anything that we'll finish above 7th if mourinho gets 34 games this season?

Mate
Im talking result wise and he did same as bad of things as jose but it seemed in a softer way cause he was soft and got the champions into 7th
He was the biggest disgrace we made.
Come on, let's not rewrite history heh.

And no people havent woken up to this. Some trolls saying thay cause they always hated mourinho
We all know how bad moyes was. Simple.
Champions to 7th. Thats it.
Anyway. Its a narrative i will never accept.
Yes this season with jose is over for him and bad but tje last 2 seasons havent been like this. Anyway

Say what tou want its your opinion but people havent waken up. Its the trolls waking and the jose haters saying it. Peace

WeAreUnited September 29, 2018

And YES jose DESERVES the sack BECAUSE of THIS. Season.

Peace

No it's not his fault.. clearly mine for asking for Martial!

In fact why didn't the reporter respond with,

“maybe they kept calling for Martial because the player you signed hasn't done anything for 9 months!”

Ur subtle and overt defense and sympathizing with Mourinho is kind of pointless. He is rubbish through and through. Moyes was a disaster. Mourinho is a disaster. The only manager post SAF that I defended vigorously was LVG. I actually thought he would bring the attacking flair back. He was a disaster and there were ppl saying so whilst I kept defending him and demanding more time. I was super wrong and blind. I ate humble pie in that regard and became his most fierce critic in his last season. There's a time to admit we got things horribly wrong. Those that have backed Mourinho have ALWAYS been wrong about this one. It's that simple.

We need attacking football that is not proven by stats but by what we see on the pitch. There's no vagueness about Liverpool or City. They are known mostly because of their attacking style of football. Mourinho offers the exact opposite of that and that should automatically disqualify him without even any other consideration about his achievements of a million years ago. He was never a right fit for United and he will never be.

Im not sunpathizing with jose

Stating facts. Moyes was the biggest disaster. The last 2 seasons with jose werent a disaster. This one is.
Is not working and i accept it.
Nothing to hide for me. He deserves to go BECAUSE of THIS season. Simple

denislawking September 29, 2018

I think Smalling's hair looks nice.

And we might get a result against Newcastle.

Can't see it against Valencia - and Ronnies goals for Juve will be the nail in his coffin.

Out CL - bottom half of the table? By Christmas, he's gone.

Not sure why he brought Martial off as poor Juan runs like an aging cocker spaniel with arthritis.

But does Woody really care? His fourth quarter was great.

So 20% of the season done, and we have lost as many as we've won.. goal difference is in the negative.. knocked out of a cup competition in the first round.. players not performing..

It's okay.. there's nothing wrong.. we just have to persevere.. the man's a serial winner!

Jay-M,

In WAU's defence has said Jose should go , and did say he would give him two seasons (before the contract was extended) and judge him on the third

Mate BIG respect to you.
People trying to paint this false narrative about me. Sorry I’ll skip that.

But I appreciate it mate for saying how it is.
BIG RESPECT

Hendrix knightsmith September 29, 2018

Oh fuck me, he's only blaming the referee now.

We all know the ref made mistakes, but just for once cannot this misfit just be man enough to admit he he's got it horribly wrong ?

He really is a cringe worthy individual !

Watching arsenal, spurs and manshitty playing at the moment and i feel like crying. None of them is scared of attacking and none of them cares if the opponent create chances. The dinosaur coach of ours will rather start with 8 defensive minded players and 3 attacking players.
