    Pre-season? We get tactically outdone once more and play shit football. Other teams are so much better than us and we struggle once more to get into the top 4

    not sure how tactics can blamed here, keeper makes an error and a multi deflection drops to a chelsea player after a corner, no tactic in the world can stop that happening
     
    I was all about signing Kante, even at the expense of Pogba.

    This is appalling... Poor performance from the players. Very bad tactics and lineup from Jose. I'm a huge Jose fan, but he got this entirely wrong. I don't understand why he started Fellaini and Lingard. And why Mikhitarian and Shaw not playing?

    Miraculously, we are only 6 points from first, and it's STILL October. Jose obviously has his work cut out for him and I trust he will get us going but it's still very early.

    Well done sir.

    He's been shit against every big team we've played and couldn't plant a simple header past the keeper in two matches.

    What does he bring to the team?

    There is a reason psg couldnt wait to see the back of him in spite of his overall numbers.
     
    Laughed at the thought that Mkhitaryan was a sweetener to get Pogba, looks like it may be true after all.

    Too early to call but seems like a flat track bully. I say bench him alongside Rooney and give Rashford a run at the top.

    The feck are you on about? Pogba, Zlatan etc were not shit last season. Jose has managed to make Martial and Rashford who were phenomenal under LvG look shit.

    What am I talking about? Smalling, Blind, Fellaini, Lingard are all shite. So you have 4 starters who are way below united quality. So what do you expect Jose to do? Pogba played 70 odds games over the last year. He's burnt out. Martial is having a stinker of a season not cause of Jose, but cause he has personal problems. As for Rashford, he's a bloody kid you can't rely on him every game. Not to mention the fact that Rashford hasn't been bad under Jose at all.
     
    These Cnuts should should be made to pay the expense for all the fans that travelled down out of their wages.
     
    Ship these shower of Shite out of the club.. Nowhere near good enough to wear the shirt...Embarrassing shambles!!
     
    One of United's problems is that there is no player who has such great close ball control that he will receive the ball in space and then travel with it, drawing opposition players on him, only to realease it at the right time to a team mate that is cleared of marking. Chelsea has Hazard, Arsenal has several, Liverpool has Coutinho, City has De Bruyne and Silva. You have no number 10, or playmaker, not because there was no one on the market, but because you don't plan of controling games. Playing on the counter is fine when you have a tight defensive unit like Atletico, but when you don't, and find yourself 0-2 after half an hour, not having an offensive plan, nor the players to implement it, makes you easy to play against once the other team goes in front.
     
    Man United is going the Chelsea way. It's just the start, they can still save themselves, but if Jose does something stupid and reverts back to the Jose of last season, United is doomed. Boot him as soon as he loses the dressing room otherwise United will feel the heat of the battle at the opposite end of the table, the relegation battle.

    In 3 matches now, Blind has shown himself to be totally inept at defending a speculative long ball over the top.

    It's cost us every time. is he ever going to realise that he's useful only against shite opposition and never going to be top class
     
    Hope Jose is utterly ruthless, so much feckin deadwood it's unbelievable...
     
    Herrera faking until he realizes he is not getting a yellow
     
    I really hope Jose rips into the team in the locker room.

    Who you picking to replace? Giggs?

    We panicked when guardipla joined city & went for the only decent manager available - sacking a manager who won us a cup with a bunch of youngsters - not old dogs like Ibrahimovic.

    Ideal replacement next year would be Diego someone since he said he will leave too. Until then I'd honestly bring LVG back & get back to a front 3 of martial-rashford & lingard.

    Mourinho will always stick in Ibrahimovic & fellaini-ibrahimovic - it's his style of football.
     
    To me we were set up wrong with Fellaini in there. And once you go a goal down in these big games....
     
    I don´t think this is the right red and white team. I´m sure this really is Sunderland masquerading as Manchester United, the only thing that makes sense watching this game.

    I dont think Kante would of improved our attack, we have schniederlin who can play that role but isnt being used, he could do the nicky butt job and let pogba herrera do the creating.
    I have a degree of sympathy for Jose, his tactis worked against Liverpool but his players made some huge mistakes today, no manager can account for that

    This might be crazy but hear me out. How about sign players in those positions over the Summer and then play them?

    Well that would have meant we signed 8 players this summer. Pretty stupid.
