Presenter asked Jose what his team will need to beat Crystal Palace. He replies bassically saying " we need to defend deep, compact and defend well with two lines of four". Then he finishes with " and after we need to attack really quickly when we find space in between the compact line of 4"

What has this got to do with the players or woodwards. This is tactics and actics against crystal palace. Excuses & excuses by Moununited FC

That’s his philosophy, and he summed himself up as a manager perfectly with those few lines. He’ll never, ever change.
 
Team is a disaster, stadium is dead. The whole thing is in an advanced state of decay now.
 
The football continues to be garbage, no end to what is going wrong and he doesn’t even seem to want to change it, he’s happy with it all. But we have the board who are happy seeing our local rivals be the the ones to do PL title parades, because it does not effect the checks coming in, but on top of that he’s got Darmian, young, smalling, matic, lingard and lukaku in one starting 11, he could have a shower of s#%t full house if he picked fellaini. I wouldn’t give the club a penny out of my own pocket, Jose can go and in comes conte and there you the rinse, repeat and recycle

Can’t believe there is still a debate about this. There is no improvement at all week in week out. We are not bein* coached at all it seems. We should be paying him a fiver and not 15m.

Fellaini also said we will try to "hurt" Palace. how the mighty have fallen...
 
Everyone including Mourinho knows this ends. Its disgraceful that Woodward is too chicken to pull the plug likely to save money. Continuing with this doesn't help anyone.
Woodward definitely needs to get his balls out. This is terrible
 
Anybody who wants this prat to continue needs to have their head checked because we are in serious trouble.
 
He doesn't help himself, does he? I know Shaw's suspended and Valencia's lost in the matrix, but after 3 years we shouldn't be lining up with Young and Damian as full backs at this point. Then there's the undroppable Matic, dropping Alexis for Lukaku despite Alexis offering more to the team up front. It's just a mess of a team and it's largely down to himself.
 
We're just treading water at the moment. We'll nick a result here and there and the same numpties will sing the praises of Jose, but the football will continue to be horrible and we'll continue to make absolutely no progress.

Woodward is a fecking tit. He needs to do something about it

They seem to have this superiority complex about being able to see something which is seemingly bypassing the casual observers.

That's the only explanation for Bourinho supporters. The rest of the footballing world is too primitive to be able to admire the greatness that is gradually unfolding.

Is this true?

Is it self sabotage though? I remember him playing Ivanovic to the ground at Chelsea, and playing Antonio Adan as keeper at Madrid. Some of his decisions are just downright bizarre at times. Surely even he can see that.
 
The fundamental issues are not being fixed. Look at any part of our game, and it simply doesn’t look like a side that’s being coached for two and a half years and had hundreds of millions of pounds spent on it.

Defense: Smalling, Jones and Rojo are midtable CB. Mourinho came and bought two, one of which looked promising initially (Bailly), but has regressed, and other looks like a fan who won a lottery to play for United.

Midfield: Matic plays every game when he hasn’t put in even a 5/10 performance this season. Our POTY in his first season was unceremoniously dropped for a geriatric DM who can’t pass, defend or even run around a bit like a midtable hacker. Our 50M signing doesn’t play, and the 80M signing looks out of place in a side with such poor movement that he has to perform miracles to get even a decent attacking move going.

Attack: Lukaku has been an abject failure. Same for Sanchez. Rashford hasn’t progressed at all in 3 seasons, and was honestly a better player when he first came in. Mata is still here even though he seriously impedes other parts of our tactical approach, and Lingard I saw just a bit meh overall and shouldn’t be starting.

Tactics: Sit deep with a defense that can’t defend. Doesn’t take a genius to see this is bound to fail. We try to counter-attack, but in three seasons I can’t recall any notable goals where we cut through a side with a lightning counter. Liverpool probably have more effective counters in a single game than we’ve had under Jose in his entire tenure. Game after game we see the exact same issues and nothing seems to change, and Jose antagonistic approach seems to alienate his own squad with a blatant attempt to protect his own reputation over the complete mess he’s created here.

TLDR: It’s all a bit shit. We’re getting more shit. Let’s stop this before it gets complete shit.
 
He has got to go now simply because he has gone blind. He cannot see how terrible Matic is. Anyone can do his job better than Matic. Even Jones. Lukaku's movement is the same. Yes lack of good movement. He should take off Lukaku and bring on Sanchez.
 
Woodward is being negligent once more. He threw a season with LVG, and he’s repeating it now with Mourinho. Surely the rest of the board has to notice how poorly he’s doing his job?!

We’re dead in the water with Mourinho, and everyone knows it’s simply a question of when he’ll get the boot at this point.
 
I think even bringing in a caretaker would give everyone a lift. Dare I say, even Mourinho.

Then start planning for next season now.

Both Liverpool and City announced their current manager's midseason. Waiting till the end of the season is not a foolproof plan.
Of course a caretaker would give us a lift. This is like a slow death. We need to be properly coached and not have someone play favourites. If Ed is too chicken I’ll fecking do it for him. People haven’t got time for this mess.

It actually reminds me of the Van Gaal backers a few years ago.

They felt that Van Gaal was laying the foundations of a great side, and the rest of us were too stupid to see it.

I remember one guy even claiming that Germany and Spain winning the world cups was because of Van Gaal who coached both Bayern and Barca.

At least no one has gone that crazy with Jose..yet.

When you go into half time 0-0 against a side lost 4 of the 5 games you know this team is in trouble. The way it’s all going we be lucky to make a top 10, if they struggling to beat a side losing 4 of the 5 games, there needs to be a huge wake up call. This club is quiet content with the direction it’s going, when they got this mentality fans need to boycott and take a stand because they taking the fans for mugs

You're welcome to oppose Mourinho and state your reasoning, but don't take it to a silly level and insult intelligence of anyone thinking otherwise.
