Top 4 is as good as impossible with Jose as manager now.
No amount of money is going to suddenly get us playing cohesive football with him at the Helm.

After the recent run of results was resigned to say he should stay until the end of the season but now I Think even Roy Hodgson or Moyes would be an improvement for the rest of the season.
Firmly Jose out since Sevilla, impossible for that to change now even if he wins the CL.

There are no excuses.

If it's been this way for over a year, it can't be the players fault. The manager's not doing enough behind the scenes. This team is so poorly coached it's fecking embarrassing.
A year?

Try 6 years mate.

And every single year all these players have actually been here.

The trend follows the board and the players.

Martial and Pogba, probably. Undid all the great work Mourinho does behind the scenes.

Seriously though, he's stinking up the place and out of his depth. He was a great manager but not at Manchester United.
Absolutely he was a bloody brilliant manager and I actively lobbied on here for him to succeed LVG. Up until this season I was happy with the job he was doing despite some of the cracks that were starting to appear.

However, this season has been a disaster so far and he has to go. I’m not a stubborn git like some on here and I admit I was wrong and he hasn’t done the job I expected him to do.

The feck is Ed waiting for? Did he get scared because of the plane banner and Neville's motormouth?

Needs to fecking man up. Days like this you wish we had a decisive person in charge like Perez.

Let's keep him, he'll continue to give folk something to moan about. Let's be honest we're all desensitised by now.

I thought the experiences he had at Madrid and then 2nd stint Chelsea would have taught him some lessons but he will never change.

I am beggining to think he is intentionally making bad moves to make us look worse at this point.

Watching this game I think I've finally been convinced. Players are trying, he hasn't lost the dressing room. But the match clearly shows that Crystal Palace have better players than us. Jose stays, sack Ed, sell the players. Jose is a winner and is the only one at the club who's fighting for the club and the fans. Saint Pep would do even worse with our shit squad.
This isn't serious, right? :lol:

They are in hiding right now.
We need to have a cull of these wankers. They've infested the forums with their bullshit for too long and they have the cheek to call themselves genuine fans... being a Jose fan does not equate to being a United fan, they're exclusive of one another.

That's the thing. People have severe trouble admitting they got it wrong with Jose. I championed him too but it's fecking clear he's a busted flush. If you can't see that by now, then you have no business watching football.

The manager's tactics have nothing to do with players being unable to control a football or get it out of their feet for a simple pass.

The players are an embarrassment.
I was about to rip into this post before it dawned on me, you are nothing more than a WUM.

Never this bad.
It really, really has been.

You must have been living on another planet under Van Gaal.

A lot of these players are awful and they can't handle the pressure of playing for Manchester United.

Tbf, I blindly put those experiences down to the clubs he was at. I thought he was the perfect fit for us and would bring us back to the top table. How wrong was I.

Explain how a team like Bournemouth can play better football? Would you swap our squad for there’s? God no.

It’s coaching pure and simple.

But...could any other manager have pulled off this heroic draw against this Palace side though? We're clearly punching above our weight.

They're not fans they're enemies of progress

You are an embarrassment, just like our stupid board. You say these players are not good enough to beat the likes of CP, Brighton, West Ham etc etc etc? Coaching is non existent, it's absolutely obvious we have no idea what to do with the ball, it's on the manager.

The team needs a goal and he keeps lukaku on ?????

Not scored in 11 and needs 10 shots a game to score.

This is now his team and jose must take responsibilty.

Do honourable thing and admit he is not up to it

He's certainly not on the same level he used to be but
Saying that, I do think if he went to another club. They'd have a period of improvement then come 3rd season. Meltdown once more.
He has never lasted more than 3 seasons, 1month at a club. Even at his best, that speaks volumes.

At this point, I don't think it's even fair to blame Mourinho anymore. This thread is becoming redundant. It's universally known that Jose is not the right person. The anger and moaning should be directed toward the board. Ed is the real culpable now; persisting with Mourinho is a crime.

Congratulations to Cristal Palace and Roy Hodgson.

The manager's tactics and coaching are not responsible for Manchester United footballers not be able to control the ball, pass it quickly and accuratley and draw a 0-0 with Crystal Palace at home.

It's on the players.

Some clearly care more about being right on the internet than the club. No matter what happens their sheer stubbornness and arrogance always prevail and they blame everyone else.

Another 2 points dropped.

Another game goes by where the scousers laugh at us.

Another wasted season where we fall further behind.

we have already wasted 100s of millions.
We need to get back to our roots.
We already have the coaches we need.
Get rid of this guy.
Appoint a DoF and Mckenna, Carrick and Butt can sort out the football.

I'm stumped, fella. Also holding onto managers that are going backwards seems very bizarre.

In your closet, in your head!
Klopp had a strong core of Henderson Milner and Lovren, and the club still backed him with world class signings in Van Dyke and Keita. Jose wasn't allowed to sign the players he wanted and had Pogba and Sanchez forced upon him while not being allowed to sell Martial. Shows the difference in ambition between the two clubs and where the real problem lies.

It's okay though lads..
He'll give a great pre match presser beat young boys and people will be rimming him again. And on we go in circles.

On one hand it's admirable that we've such a loyal fan base but on the other it's actually deteremtal to the club 'cause it's actually hurting us. If fans showed their discontent when appropriate (for a while now) he'd be gone.
