NoSeriously?
For the life of me I just dont get the criticism of Ed Woodward? How is it his fault if the players Jose has brought in himself has failed?
Some of our fans are perhaps not puting their thinking cap.
Virtually all players brought in by Pep have been integrated into the team.

Jose still needs to go. First half was LVG still sideways passing followed by panic in defense... totally deserved to be 2-0 down. Poor tactical choices have plagued Joses selections for the majority of games and his going on about the club is bigger than the player/manager etc followed by constant talk about himself, what he's won/achieved throughout his career contradicts him.
Im fed up with him.
On a plus note, i actually got quite emotional watching tonight, the last 20-25 minutes felt like a blast from the past, fergie-esque. Amazing end to the game. It felt like the players were actually playing for the club and not themselves or own agenda.
I don't think he will be sacked, not yet anyway. If he's gonna stay, tell the cnut to stop talking about himself and focus on the team/club.

One thing I'm certain about, if Potch was our manager, we'd have lost that game today.
I've walked back from the brink.
Give him more time.
Give him more time.
What if Jose gets them playing like that all the time? Still want him gone?
Woodward’s getting hammered because he clearly didn’t back Jose in last summers transfer window.Jose was heavily backed for 2 summers and he should be getting more out of his squad,but Woodward failed Mourinho miserably last summer.So Both should cop the blame in my view...
Don't mind me. Fooling around.
Absolutely right.
Ahhh I was under the impression he was talking to himself, kind of lamenting his good fortune after the players pulled out the win. But I'm hoping it was towards the journalist.
I'm O.K. with it. I would like to see a new manager come in with a proper plan for the future. If things don't improve with Jose, sack him in January, keep an interim manager until the end of the season and take our time developing a proper long term plan for the future with the new manager. Then we can start fresh next season.
I know it's only October so let's not completely give up on the season. I'm interested to see if he can turn it around, but I'm also equally interested in how bad his implosion can get.
City bought -3,4 expensive defenders who all failed they replaced quick instead of pouting or blaming Guardiola.
Jose has been forced to shop at the bargain market and it hasn’t worked. Buy him Skriniar like he wanted regardless of price.

What dominant, aggressive Fergie era style football?
In that case we will have to worry about City sacking Pep and offering him half the land in the Middle East to take their job.
Possible? Sure. Probable? Meh you decide
From half time you're probably right. Jose took risks today with the 2nd half set up and it worked.
Question is whether Poch would have had us playing like that in the first half at all?
Bargain market? No white text?
We need to replace his sleeping midfielders too, that we bought for him as well, don’t you know? Also, going by his own assessment, we’re absolutely lacking technical players going forward, so we gotta replace the forward line as well.
Can’t just buy a couple of extra CBs and expect him to challenge for anything with the rest of the dross he’s brought in.
How about people who would rather beat Newcastle than see the club make an important and necessary decision for the long term health of the club.
Yes, i never wanted him in charge of our club and this season has proved me right.
I think the players played for the club in the 2nd half, not jose nor themselves. Its tough but the way he has been, speaking about the players, poor choices and poor attitude doesnt help.
Why not? He still clearly wants it, he still clearly has the managerial ability, and who knows, maybe he'll actually get the players next window as we're not far off.
The scary part is that you actually believe this too.
If anyone thinks we will start the next match as we played the last 20 minutes should think twice. The first half was as worse as it's ever been. Mourinho should still be sacked imo, still think we need someone new with a vision, identity, style, and a plan for the future, including a DOF.
they'd be foolish. we are acting like salvaging a nightmarish result against newcastle somehow was us giving them a 5-0 drubbing with a masterclass performance from start to finish or something
People who are saying well Guardiola bought defenders then bought more and more, that's great, the thing is we don't have unlimited oil money and never will under the Glazers, we can't afford and they won't sanction the constant, oh we bought Bailly and Lindelof but they are shit buy another 2 next summer kind of attitude it just won't happen. This is why the signings need to be right.
They also don't explain the crap against West Ham or Derby. He still needs to go, celebrsting a miraculous come back against arguably the worst team in the league with nary a goal to their name should only serve to remind people of the absolutely rock bottom standards that have rocked up on this once great club as of late, and Mourinho's been doing a damn good job conning everyone into believing this team is pure garbage when it clearly isn't, today he got bailed out by Pogba and Martial and his favourites like McTominay let him down, Fred nowhere to be seen, Lindelof nowhere to be seen.

Can’t blame coach for being 0-2 down in 10 mins. All down to a certain center back
Weird comments. So Peter is saying he had to take McTominay off, but chose not to, but it was right
As a counter-point to Peter's point of view, I dont think it should take going 2-0 to the 2nd bottom team before he "does his job" and his changes werent right first time around.
Honestly tell me a coach who is available we honestly expect to do a better job
Wonder who is going to be prime Ronaldo in all that so his team can look like 11/12 RM.
Wouldn’t say I’m passionate but yeah, given the currently available managerial alternatives I’d give him some more time.
He’s obviously not happy with Bailly & Lindelof at the moment. Unusual for a manager with a generally good record of signing defenders. And if he has good defenders, he generally has a record of winning trophies. Point I made earlier was that it took 3 seasons under SAF before the Bruce-Pallister axis. In 2018, managers clearly don’t have the luxury of time, even with Jose’s previous record.
We know he is conservative by nature, but with what he considers to be a shaky defence maybe he is being a little more conservative than usual?
At the other end, I’m not convinced by Lukaku, but can’t blame Jose for that, we needed a striker and he was the best available along with Morata.
I’d give him the rest of this season and reassess things then unless things fall off a cliff.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am that people think this could be a turning point, it just seems so naive. We've had comebacks before, we had comebacks under Moyes for heavens sake.
Just hoping he told them at half time that's he's off win or lose, so they might as well at least try, he certainly said something to get their tails up, his supposed enemies been the ones to ignite it as well.
I'm one of those just enjoying a win because they've been pretty rare recently. That was only our 6th win in the last 15 games under Mourinho.
Like you i'm amazed anyone can think it'll actually be a significant win or a corner turned.
Well prime Ronaldo coincided with Mourinho managing him so who knows. Teams have been known to be successful without prime Ronaldo anyway.
Maybe we should try going after a coach that isn't on the dole* for a change? Genuine response! Go for a coach that is currently successful, not one that was previously successful
*Or Everton
It's more about the lift getting someone new in may have while the season isn't a complete write off
I don't want Jose to be sacked and found the end of the game and the win quite emotional because of that point but that being said as has been the norm now for 5 years all a good result does is paper over cracks
Still think he's done. We've got a shite run of fixtures coming, three games that will expose us again and in turn, put his job back In jeopardy. I dont see him being here next season, not one bit. What the 2nd half showed today was that while we're miles away from being a top team and a title contender, we are capable of doing better under a more attacking coach.
