The most disjointed Manchester United team I've ever seen, and at this point he's no better than Van Gaal and definitely more frustrating than him.
Jose Mourinho | 2017/18 Assessments | Poll Added
- Thread starter Suedesi
- Start date

Let's see how he deflects attention away from another shite performance. Maybe talking about how Liverpool bought VVD will work. Or he can just talk about City again.
- Coward tactics against inferior teams
- Just too opponent-focued
- Defensive instead of offensive
- Strange treatment of star-players
- Constant hoofing, which is no longer effective due to Fellaini injury
- There is no purpose to our game anymore, I don't enjoy it.
- Why does he still live in a hotel? is he travelling somewhere tomorrow? Why the constant "Cant rule out what happens tomorrow"
Get him out of my club. Fecking out dated.
The team is his responsibility. This team we just drew against got battered against Spurs, we make them look decent. Who’s fault is that? That’s right, Jose.
Same shit as always. Mourinho has no clue on how to coach a decent attacking system. We play some tragic football and everything seems to be a struggle
Jose will just moan about the penalty in the interviews. We were dire though, especially in second half.
Fact is whatever you want to say about this squad, it is miles better than Burnley, Leicester and Southampton.
He's not doing his job, which is to manage his team to win matches we should be winning.
When we drop out of the top 4 in January, I really hope the board move decisively. Thanks for the recruitment, don't let the bus door hit you on the way out.

One day less.
I don't know what the feck is going on with him.
Can't really complain about the boos. Shocking performance today and since the City defeat, it's been a complete shit show.
I would really love the more defensive posters (regarding Mourinho) to explain why they believe it is solely down to players why the attacking play is so limited.

Wonder who he's going to blame today?
Get ready for "Southampton was lucky"

Just a terrible fit. A negative, miserable cnut. Dire football. Players haven’t improved. No obvious game plan. No strategy. Team look bereft of confidence.
Because the football is so shite he is judged purely on results. That’s what he’s supposed to be all about. Just not good enough.
I wouldn’t fire him but I hope PSG take him off our hands.

I’m on
board with that he’s made watching United a chore, out now!
OI GAFFER! THIS IS RIGHT PROPER SHITE! 
I don't have a counter argument? Are you joking again? There's the bad running of the club and it deserve its own topic but this is another matter. You're saying that the purchase of one player would've changed everything. I'm saying that a coach who's not able to adapt and keeps failing at his job has a lot to prove. If you can't see the fault in your "argument" you are either extremely bias or unwilling.
What do you think now? We are playing the worst football of the top 6 at the moment. And now in third. Can see a top four race going with us involved.
Also i did a search on you because I tried to find the above post but what was this a week ago?
Just genuinely curious since there was hardly any context to what the others were talking about. Random sarcastic comment how we are never going to catch city anyway or a pop at people for believing the race was over...
Spot on.
I can't wait until he's sacked. Glad others are finally seeing how out of his depth he is now. Hopefully, at most, he only has the rest of the season left, though I'd get rid ASAP.
He lost is mojo a few years ago.
This team is now not playing for him. His methods are not working, frequently blaming players is not working, and leaving players out in the cold for long periods of time is certainly not working
His tactics when compared with the other sides around us looks so antiquated and he is severely lacking ideas

Stick a fork in him
Tbh that excuse isn't really valid. Especially when the player in question was fecking Perisic and we didn't seem to have a backup plan. And we're one of the big spenders. He only identified four players, got three, and still play shit on a stick football.
The main issue is that we have only hired defensive-minded managers. And all three are completely outdated. Mourinho used to be a great coach but now his football philosophy is the worst kind. On top of that he has completely lost his charisma, he looks miserable all the time, even when we're winning.
All I want for (next) Christmas is a manager who prefer the attacking side of the game. Atleast Liverpool fans enjoy themselves loads between the hiccups.
Don't like Jose but I don't like the booing by the fans for any manager.
The Special One HA
The problem with thinking it's the players is that their performances also depend on the manager's tactics. There is a reason why some managers are labeled as defensive and others as attacking managers. Klopp currently has a joke defense because it's his fault. However he's also getting the best out of his attacking players which is what makes you guys rate those very same attacking players. You say we don't have the players, but then praise Salah. Part of the reason why Salah is doing really well is due to Klopp. Mkhi was also that good of a player before he came to United. Mou has failed to get the best out of him. Bring in Salah, and Mou would fail to get the best out of him.
Stop separating the performances of the players and the Manager's attacking prowess.

Awful football, negative in interviews. No attacking plan whatsoever.
It's been miserable and all he points to is more money.
Fortune favors the brave and we have a defensive coach who's tactics are outdated.
Napoli, City, Barcelona and Bayern lead the big leagues. All attacking positive sides.

Feck off, we are 2nd!
Seriously though, this team isn't any better than the other contenders for top 4. According to xG stats, it should have been 6th. Maybe there is something to xG after all.

Team looks devoid of ideas and he did nothing to change the game, just put Martial and hope for the best.
People talk about Pep like he is a stubborn manager that do not have backup plan and only have one way of playing, it looks like the one without backup plan is Mourinho, his game is all about counter attack, that's it

Still backing him but finding it difficult to see how his brand of football is ever going to be at the forefront any time soon. Teams like City, Liverpool, Spurs - even Arsenal and Chelsea to a lesser extent - are so much more exciting, innovative and creative. Basically all the things I'd expect a Utd side to be. We will win a few more trophies under Jose but the romance is dead for now.
I see the key problem as the way in which Pogba was used today. He doen’t Offer anything denfensively, in fact he is a negative in that regard, playing him so deep and you lose what he is best at.
We are third
Spot on. Everything is connected.
Having watched us all season and with this recent performance, have to say he has lost what makes him special and feel the game has left him behind.
I know.
Rojo/Pogba/Lingard/Rashford have all improved. It's your own fault for drawing large conclusions based off a 6 game sample size, every neutral fan in the country could tell you City have a far better squad than us.
That's not a head start.
Total nonsense. You'd think he took over a team of elite players with the way some of you act, this is a group that finished 7th/4th and 5th before he arrived. Challenging for top 4 is the current level of half the team and he needs time to replace it.
To those who want Mourinho gone, who do you see the club bringing in to do better than him?
Genuine question.
Genuine question.
Please leave, I’m afraid years ago yeah maybe , but this job is Too big for him YES BIGGER than Real Madrid YES bigger Than INTER, he can’t cope , the players are not responding too him , who we replace him with I have no clue, but I do know we will never surpass pep, with the ghost of Jose mourinihio
Indeed.
Mourinho Watch thread imminent.
I think we'll forever be doomed getting in defensive managers. I don't care that his Real team broke goal-scoring records with Ronaldo in his absolute pomp and Ozil, Benzema in their prime. His Chelsea teams were always more pragmatic over flair. He's a defensive manager.
Our identity is just lost. The league is long gon All I crave is for some attacking football. It's never going to happen under Jose.

Poor excuse because Perišić isn't Messi to have such an impact. With Perišić in team it would basically mean more crosses and less time for Rushford/Martial.
Mouinho chose to go for Lindelof despite having Tuanzebe and TFM, both arguably better than Lindelof.
Mentioned the same issue against Bournemouth (think it was them after the City defeat).
Today United had 3 shots on target. At home.
That's just fecking dire. I really struggle to put that down to individual players.
