It’s time. Team selection today, no pereira, formation? He’s lost some of the dressing room.
A change is needed.

I’ll keep supporting the team obviously but it’s not gonna work out for Mourinho here.

I think, I’m there now. West Ham have played well, but that’s no excuse for our poor performance. If it’s the players downing tools, they need to go

I don't think it's a case of all the players conspiring against him and laying down tools. It's more a case of him being such a horrible, negative person and sooner or later it will manifest in the pitch because the 11 out there will be bereft of confidence and belief. If you had a boss or a manager at your work who constantly belittled you and put you down at every opportunity, would you be inclined to give a semblance of a shit?

Maybe I'm a masochist, but I'm here to see actually how low we can go under this guy? He didn't manage to relegate Chelsea since he was fired before it could happen, but maybe he'll finally achieve it with us?

I mean, a relegation isn't that bad. Pogba would deffo be gone, so will all the other half-arsed, pussy-kneed fecking time wasters we have on our books currently.
I think you can delete the "Maybe" in your post.

1 more thing. I'm not sure I've ever seen another manager at one of the top sides who was so shit scared and went into so many games with midtable sides with defensive tactics 5 at the back and trying to just hold on.

Can you imagine Sir Alex or Guardiola going to 5 at the back against the 17th placed team in the league? Sir Alex would be more likely to field 3 or 4 strikers. Mourinho is fielding 3 DMs
Even Moyes would try to attack this West Ham by playing Fellaini as no.10

He has certainly made a big contribution to the mess but the root cause of it goes back a few years.
Oh of course. Ed Woodward should be sacked as well.

But that won't happen. We're pretty much done as a top football club, at least for the foreseeable future.

We're going backwards.

Mourinho has done a good job of bringing us this far. But sometimes you just have to accept that a manager can't take a team any further. We need to bring in somebody else.

And then we get this bollocks. We’ve got a great squad of players (a million times better than what we’re seeing). A new manager and some attaching impetus would change things very quickly.

Playing with 3 defensive midfielders should be reason enough to sack Jose . Well done Jose for being so anti team spirit that Pogba only commented attack, attack, attack and you are like no player is bigger drama queen than me so we go all defend, defend and defend . I just wish we sack him as soon as possible I am so sick of his antics and tactics .

Guys, those of us who don’t want Mourinho here (and those who were laughed at despite being completely right) have our own thread to complain about Mourinho.

Leave this thread to people who still think Jose Mourinho is still the right manager. Despite how abhorrent some of us find his behaviour, people who have wanted Mourinho here for years deserve somewhere to post.
I wanted him for years.

But I am willing to admit.. You guys were right and I was very very wrong.

The squad all needs to be sold, they're all clearly sucking Pogba off and don't deserve to play for us. Part of me wishes Jose digs in, makes it to January.. sell that wannabe gansta to Barca along with his brother from another mother Martial and we can start to instil some fighting spirit back into the squad. First thing we need to do is get in Willian to sort out that right flank and throw whatever money it takes at Inter to get Perisic, so we finally get some proper width and support to Lukaku.

I think we also need a new centre back, Maguire is looking like a no brainer to shore things up. If we get them three in - we will finish top 4 and in the summer, I'd bin everyone bar De Gea and let Jose build his own team without restrictions. It has been a shitshow, him having to deal with bad purchases by Moyes/LVG and not being allowed to get rid of them.

Stay strong Jose, the real United fans are with you mate.
Brilliant :lol:

More games in the Championship to watch and Leeds replacing Liverpool for rivalry assuming they don't get promoted. Ok, I am sold.

Lukaku, Matic, Pogba, Lindelof were brought by him. McTominay, Fellaini are his favourites. DDG is the world's best GK. That's 7/11. He built this team, and after two and half seasons, our only tactic away to West fecking Ham is to sit deep and hoof. It's pathetic beyond belief.
Mourinho has bought an entire first team of (mostly very good) players, all for huge sums. That people excuse him based on the quality of the playing squad has always been hilarious.

Watch him go to the away end at fulltime and put on a show.
That's another thing. The majority here may not like him, but the match going fans (especially the away fans) always show their support of him by doing his chant. You'd think he'd try and make their trip worthwhile.

They are not even trying. They are literally jogging around and not even caring about the game. He's lost the players and they are showing it on the field.
Have you seen the team he has put out?
