    Jose will surprise us all tonight. We'll be be happy, and it will kick start our treble winning season.
    Everything will be all right girls and boys.
    And all people who say "oh" to @Sassy Colin will say "woow" with eyes wide open, a jealousy in their voice..

    Keep taking the drugs, to dull the pain. Stay strong mate :)
     
    If someone told me an Arsenal win would guarantee his sack I'd want us to lose. There, I said it. I care about this club more than some bitter manager.

    That was LvG in his second season. Jose on the other hand hasn't actually been in danger of the sack, except maybe prior to the Newcastle game. This is probably because Woodward can't see any suitable replacement at the moment. In fact, I'm not even sure he is in any danger if we lose this game.

    What was his twitter id? And has his record been good?

    Everton (h) - 10/11 four hours before kick-off (had Valencia instead of Young, said Lukaku was being dropped and was right)
    Bournemouth (a) - spot on just over an hour before kick-off
    Man City (a) - spot on just over an hour before kick-off
    Southampton (a) - spot on 90 mins before kick-off

    He's done a lot more but can't see them on his twitter feed. Might be wrong and it might not be him after all but he claims he is.

    Cheers Damo. Will give him a follow.
     
    I think this will be like that game at their place where we blitzed them quickly then had DDG heroics tp thank for leaving with 3pts.

    Aubameyang to score twice inside 20mins. A third in about 5mins of second half. A pisspoor 40mins of us trying in vain to create but getting a consolation in the last few mins through Mata.

    I still am, for some weird reason. It's still Manchester United v Arsenal which used to be my favourite fixture of the season. The rivalry has dulled to the point of being almost non-existent, we are absolutely terrible right now but still, just seeing the names of the two teams written down like that gets me all excited like a kid.

    Blue quotes from Jose regarding the player above

    PhysioRoom has the following:

    Late Fitness Test
    L Shaw - Knock
    P Jones - Knock
    A Valencia - Knock
    E Bailly - Back
    C Smalling - Foot
    M Rashford - Muscle Fatigue
    Jose: "Rashford Fatigue, he was injured, he was asking to come out. It was not that kind of injury, but Marcus, I am pretty sure will be fine for the next one."
    M Darmian - Knock
    Jose: "Darmian Has "a little [problem]."

    Long Term Injured
    A Sanchez - Hamstring Injury
    Jose: "Sanchez has an important injury. I don’t want to risk by saying for how long, but from the top of my experience, I would say he’s not playing [again] this year."
    V Lindelof - Hamstring Injury
    Jose: "I hope that Lindelof can play Christmas time. I would say three weeks, something like that"

    I think I'll get at least one player correct in the prediction.
     
    Poor performance and result and I think the crowd will get quite vicious with him tonight.

    Maybe we'll see players in position this time with Bailly and Rojo fit.

    I would fire half of them not only the manager. There needs to be a cull in playing staff, and a shake up from a structural point of view

    Correct.
    The issues are from top to bottom.
    The effort levels are dire. The intensity is dire. And to blame it all on one man is a cop out.

    Hopefully, when the new manager comes in, he'll be given more power to get rid of some of the players who simply don't want to give maximal effort.
    It is frustrating that when we play a lesser club, we struggle, but when we play a quality side, our players raise their game (usually in the 2nd half, when we are behind) and then win the match. Very frustrating.

    One of the issues I have about Jose is that when he comments after the match, he comments as if he is a pundit. As if he has analysed the match and giving a breakdown of why we were so poor. Rather than doing this, he needs to fix all the issues. If that means, dipping into our reserve team and replacing non-performing players, then so be it.

    There are some players who have survived LVG's reign and will survive Jose's reign, too. And this is something I don't like.

    Tonight is going to be the ultimate bus performance.. Arsenal to dominate and win 2-0.

    Hopefully Jose has been drilling into our team how to defend and park a big double decker bus in front of our goal. Cuz this lot couldn't do it against MCFC, even though they kept trying.
     
    Doing awful at lineup prediction this season. Been pretty decent the last three seasons.

    No clue on what to go with tonight.

    Went with:

    De Gea
    Valencia Bailly Smalling Darmian
    Herrera Matic Pogba
    Mata Rashford Martial

    Could become a 4222.
     
    Not looking forward to this at all, probably for the first time since Jose joined.

    I've lost hope in the manager and lost trust in the players.
     
    Arsenal should win but game on Sunday may have taken a lot out of them.

    We will play this like a cup tie and as if we are the underdogs. May be enough to get something out of the game as a one off.
     
    Considering his match day programme, it sounds like Pogba will be on the bench

    You have 5 players in that lineup that are doubts. :lol:

    Good luck!

    If someone like Pep or Emery came in, they’d get rid of half the squad straight away.

    We need someone ruthless but who is also a good man manager.

    Jose probably had his hands tied and wanted to ship out half the squad - but what gives Young the captian’s armband? Plays a bumbling Lukaku whenever possible, relies on Matic every single game even when he’s not playing well? This is where Jose has fecked up and lost some fans.

    If he had stuck with a front 3 of Martial, Sanchez, Rashford. A midfield 3 of Herrera, Pogba and Fred. Some fans wouldn’t mind, at least he’s trying to win matches then.

    But the over reliance on slow cloggers like Matic it’s just weird now.
