You don't change your entire approach from the season, particularly against the favourites for the champions league, because one player is out of form. But while we are on the subject, if we don't have enough players to cover the three attacking and wide players, how are we going to have the players in a 442 or 4411? A "defensive" 433? We've got 3 strikers, an attacking midfielder and Pogba ffs. We aren't going out to play defensive.
Irregardless, I imagine if we did change our set up and we got trampled as a result, you'll be in here giving him pelters for it.
That's the problem we're getting here. The valid points being made about Jose being sacked are drowned out by the barrage of crap being thrown at him for the hell of it.
Chill.
Firstly, we do have options. They may not be great but my point was that what we're doing now clearly isn't working so may as well change and try something else.
Second, I never mentioned Juve.
Third, we ARE going out to be defensive, that's clear to everyone (well almost everyone). That's clear from how we change tactics when results going against us... Newcastle, Chelsea, Juve all showed a clear change in attacking intent from start of game to end. We won one, should have won another ....
Finally, don't just lump people in with others and assume. Read my posts, you'll see I've been reasonably positive until very, very recently on Jose. Even now, I'm not saying he's rubbish and 100% to blame (as some do, say Mick321), I also blame some players (posts are clear).
BUT I also blame Jose for tactics, not playing players in best position/formation and for persisting with Lukaku and Matic regardless of form) and 433 (regardless of results).
I've seen loads of United managers, huge changes in our success (or lack of it, including a relegation). I don't jump on managers instantly, I try and be supportive and balanced so don't dive in and assume from one post.
Do I want Jose to stay? Probably not now as don't see him changing anything. Am I on seventeen threads blaming him for everything? No.... but selecting players who are in awful form is costing us and sends a terrible message to squad players ("doesn't matter what you do, xxxxxxx is going to play").
