    Unfortunately Jose has made the same mistake as Moyes and LVG and I've been complaining about it for 3 years. This squad has needed a chainsaw taking to it for 3 years. Every new manager that has come in has given the squad the chance to prove itself (despite failing the year before). A squad that has achieved 4th at best. And it's cost everybody their job. It's already too late for jose because you only get one chance to ship out if you ignore the summer. The next manager needs to sit down and watch every single match of the season before...give a list to Ed and say these need to go. Not Utd quality.
     
    The thing is that Luiz should have been sent off … but that would only have masked the obvious problems if it would have happened (Atkinson you bent cnut!).

    If this means that Jose never starts Fellaini again at least it happened on a weekend when most of the other teams are disappearing over the horizon. 6 points behind after this nightmare start isn't insurmountable!

    Who gives a feck? The game was over with the first goal anyway. PL is so fecking boring because it just NEVER happens that a team can make a turn around. Zzzzzzz... I'm switching off. See you next time.

    Failure at sarcasm. Massacred. Zero sign at any point in he game that we were capable of doong anything back.

    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.

    Smalling had a bad game.

    Fellaini agree should be gone. Well Blind is a squad player but if Shaw is fit he should always play.

    Lingard is a squad player who works hard but he cant be expected to carry the team. Had a bad game along with the team. But when we play well he does shine.

    Regardless, with the likes of MArtial and Mikhitaryan not starting, its baffling. Those players are clearly the calibre required to actually win big matches.
     
    Can't wait for us to get Simeone and then have fans calling for his head after 10 games after he fails to turn us in to world beaters in an instant. The real question is, who do we get after Simeone? And further to that, who do we get after Simeone's replacement fails?

    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.

    We won't sack Jose at the end of the season. I thought Simeone already committed to 3 more years.

    fecking hell this place :lol::lol::lol:
     
    We need to give Jose time unfortunately because he is here to stay, however I do wonder whether he will need to secure CL football to fulfill his contract?

    If you asked me I would have had Bielsa in for a year or two, he would have that squad fired up...
     
    hopefully wholesale changes will come after this game. Jose tried Afro man and he failed him.

    Morgan, Carrick and Miki can do no worse.

    Totally agree - sometimes the muppet 'Football Manager' way is the correct way (am not even being sarcastic btw!)
     
    Those away fans. That's why we can always be proud to be United fans. Even if we get twatted 4-0 every week.

    "Failing to turn us into world beaters" and "on a worse run of form than teams in the bottom half of the table" are very very different things, aren't they?
     
    God this week is gonna be awful with everyone wanting themselves in the media on how shit we are:rolleyes:

    LOL, if this squad couldn't handle LvG, they'd run as far as they can from Bielsa.

    Don't think Simeone would even be able to do anything with the defence out there at the moment.

    Jose had at least 6 months to sit and watch our matches last season, when the result?
     
    I feel that Bastian would have played much better than Afro. Could have given United a bit more control and calmness in the middle. And why is Mou hating on Carrick?
