I am at work and am actually working during the game, that's how low it has become.I'm out carpet shopping
Just resign Jose, the gig is up.
He is a goner. Was supporting him till a few weeks back, but it seems he has completely lost it now. The team he put out today was just mind boggling.
£12m payoff fee I read. Is that the reason Ed will stall?
What more evidence do we need ? Look at the 3 past teams we've played in the PL ..we didn't need another $150mil summer to compete with them. Jose has lost the players , this half arsed play is only to get rid of him. Blame whatever side you want but if I didn't like my boss or he created a toxic work environment I will bolt at any chance I get.
Get this chap out.
First 5 minutes against West Ham, we sat back like a lower division team, and we got what we deserved. Cowardly as feck. Also three at the back, with Mastic and Fellaini in midfield, Shaw and Young out wide? It's as if Mourinho is trying his best to field as little attacking talent as possible.

5 transfer windows, 2 full seasons and a few hundred million quid and this is what he’s built?
That contract renewal is looking more stupid by the moment.
Woody and the Glazers have questions to answer also. They are allowing this shit.
Its almost like its part of the managers job to get the best out of his players
Gun to your head.
Who is our manager when we play Juve in a few weeks?

Starts the game with 7 defensive players.
Still concedes twice.
Against West Ham.

Keeping Mourinho has to be considered self-sabotage at this point. He's like a virus that is slowly killing our club.
You want him to be like the little bloke from Austin Powers?
He has to go after today, surely? Not that it'll fix anything but we can't continue like this or the season will be gone.
This game has been the turning point for me.
The players have no idea what they're doing in this system. They look like they don't particularly care, no movement at all. It's appalling.
I don't know what the play is as Mourinho's compensation package would be ridiculous, and I don't know who the interim manager would be, but anyone would be better than Mourinho right now as he's lost the dressing room.

Only one way this can go now it's just when. It's white hankey time.
I think its a strange one..
I want Mourinho out and Zidane in.
However, i think this form may not necessarily be down to Jose. However I think change is required and fast

Cheaper than buying Maguire
I always felt this neatly summed up Mourinho.
Can we sack him at half time?
The excuses from the Mourinho fan club are going to be fascinating.
Yes, Liverpool and City fans do.
We should of got rid of him at the end of last season - Woodward is so clueless
Zidane would be great. Otherwise someone on the up with big potential will do.
We’re very unlucky to be 0-2 down, but my bigger concern is what we’re trying to do. What is the manager’s goal with this selection and these tactics and strategy? It’s just another incoherent personnel selection and very odd choice of strategy and tactics.
It’s weird how empty I feel about being 0-2 down, but I’ve known for weeks we aren’t going to win the league. It makes no difference either if we’re in the Champions League or not if we’re not competitive .

Absolutely woeful. No positive development signs. We are constantly getting worse
Is the fat lady ready to sing yet?
Jose. We all know it.
Who will be the scapegoats this time?
He was never the right fit. Appalling football and embarrassing antics off the pitch. Whatever he had, all that charisma is long gone. Just get him out while top 4 can still be salvaged because make no mistake, if he stays much longer it will be over.
If you looked at this lineup in isolation - outside of all the ridiculous circus that we've become - where do the goals come from? Where does the attacking intent come from?
Your width is coming from 2 full backs, one who is basically playing RB for the 2nd time in 3 years, and is 33 years old. The only time he isn't isolated is when your 6'4" target tree goes out to the wing to help him, but that player can't cross.
In the middle, you're relying on Matic to create - which he's garbage at.
You're playing 3 at the back - one of whom is an weak defensive midfielder - despite having an international CB on the bench.
You stick 2 strikers up top and make both play with their back to goal - which they're both terrible at.
Then you appear to tell Pogba go make something happen, but he's double-teamed so can't.
That's it. That's our plan. It makes no sense given the players we have.
And we're deservedly behind.
To be honest this is so bad I'm beginning to doubt McKenna and Carrick too.

Jose picks a basketball team, unbelievable how so many players are playing crap, clueless. Time for a change
As long as we have pseudo supporters who only care about Jose and refuse to acknowledge what’s happening on the pitch I can’t see us sacking him without a proper message from the fans who won’t take this shit no longer.
He needs to go. What's baffling is that we have changed our line up, formation and tactics to counter West Ham's. We are Manchester Fkin United, they should be making plans for us ffs! No successful team changes their style to counter a bottom 10 team. Would Barca change their plan? Would City? Would Fergie's United?
Jose isn't for this club. We can still salvage our season, come on Ed!

Well, this positive thread really helped us. Keep 'em comin'
I'll put it on the blackboard but you have to defend it when someone tears that argument apart...
It was ridiculously stupid at the time too.
