At the moment, I don't even give a feck about trophies. That feels like too much to ask.
Just get someone who will make me excited to watch this team again.
We need a new plan and someone who has genuine belief in the way football should be played. The rest will come.
Totally agree with you. The guy at Arsenal has done a remarkable job. Early days I know but the contrast is night and day.

That's very poor, way off the pace.
Not surprising given we are poorly coached and our additions to the attack have under Mourinho have been Sanchez , Mkhitarian and Lukaku.

Next two games will sort this out.
I have never been more certain of losing a game than the two we have coming up. Although this is the future and we don't know what can happen but the way we approach recent games if we do this against Chelsea and Juventus it could be a cricket score. Valencia, Derby, West Ham, Newcastle have all caused us major problems. I'm not sure how you can be confident heading into the these games.

I'm confident this poll will no longer be relevant

If you look at last seasons six most key victories maybe it can shed some light on a good lineup to square off with for these coming matches. I can reference the matches I like for it and pull up Youtube footage or previous threads... it seems an interesting enough formula to work on.

So we’ve now conceded as many this season as Chelsea did in the entirety of Mourinho’s first season with them in 29 fewer games.

We're in an awful state under him, I can't justify keeping him on even if it's not all down to him.

Sarri already has a team that looked like a worse footballing side than us, passing and moving while pressing relentlessly. Just feck off .

I seriously hate watching us at the moment, like I can’t stand it, it’s depressing and boring as feck.

Mourinho has to go, something has to change with this club.

I have had more fun having my wisdom tooth pulled out than watching us play.

I know the Bridge is traditionally a difficult place, but fecking hell, we are garbage. Can't keep the ball and play like some lower mid table team while Chelsea probe our goal at will.

Pathetic first half once again...
We do not press, at all.

We let them come onto us, the difference between these two styles is night and day.
Alonso plays as a LW, yet Young struggles to go past the half way line. A few attacks I noticed, Rashford had the ball but nobody to pass to and the attack fizzled out.

Pathetic cowardly tactics

Any chance of another inspiring comeback on the cards? It's the same thing over and over again, whether it's the tactics or the players not being arsed this surely can't go on much longer, we're actually rubbish almost as bad as under LvG.

What's the point?

Even if it was 0-0 (Pogba had marked properly) - who cares? It's still dreadful, Stoke-like shite. I mean, we could win in the second half by hook or by crook but the football isn't going to change.

That's not being entitled. I don't expect United to be the best in the league. But I do expect them to be within the top three sides in the league both for results and entertainment. Not just on paper (like last season).

Can it honestly get much worse than this? The football is an absolute joke at this point.

It’s like watching stoke.

Chelsea are on their own 40 yard line causing no threat yet we have 11 men camped inside our own half holding on for dear life....fecking hell.

He's not responsible for individual mistakes like Pogba's. But he's responsible for the approach and tactics and it's fecking shit.
Killing my spirit.

Like Moyes and LVG he has been left behind in terms of his tactics and the type of players bought. All three seem to scratch their heads wondering why their attackers don’t play as well when they have been restricted and there is no emphasis on attacking.

Sooner he goes the better I think but he will be here for a good while yet, at the very least until the new year.

The last minute Newcastle win and Hazards worthless comments saved Jose for a week or two, now once we start playing again, people will realise how shit we are. Wait the next 3 weeks, when we finish playing Juve twice and lose to City, the pressure for him to get sacked will be huge.

I just don’t understand when people say we have to give the world to our new managers for them to build their team. Sure it helps but there are countless managers who can work with what they’ve got and play systems that bring out the best in what they have. Our defence is crap so we play defensive football where we stifle our best attackers in the hopes we can fluke a goal....

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Outside our commercial success We’re the worst run football club in the world
