We also need new defenders, a winger, a new striker, kitchen sink, Blu-ray collection of Die Hard, one of those big boxes of Reece's Pieces from Costco, a touch activated desk lamp, seven fridge magnets that say Isle of Wight with dodgy spelling, and a copy of "Not My Fault, Guv".
We could all use one of those to be fair.

Why did we need a back 3?

Any decent manager isn’t going to play mctominay as a centre back ffs
The logic behind that is so flawed. Oh we only we have one CB fit enough to play? Better play 3 at the back with 2 young midfielders.

He has got to go but who will be his replacement? That is also a question the Board has to deal with. It is easy to sack him.

I am surprised that the 'yes' votes have not reached 100%. Looks like we still have some 'In Jose we trust' guys left on the cafe.

I went for a nap instead of watching the match. And I still showed more ambition than Jose.

playing Young, Mctominay, Matic, Fellaini in the same XI should be considered a crime against football.

Why is young starting over Dalot? Young doesn't do ANYTHING!

Why is Mctominay in CB? If we have no fit starting squad CB's, use an academy player. Stop considering wingers and midfielders into RB's and CB's.

Where they FLAP is fred? He was fine in the CL game. Why are Matic and Fellaini ahead of him?

Why is this deluded fool still at our club tonight? We sacked LVG whilst handing him the FA Cup. Yet Jose gets to survive a draw to palace, a handball goal against YB's and a draw to Southampton

SACK THE FRAUD!!

Err anyone who's not a complete toxic cnut till the end of the season will do. Like any other sensible club will do.

If you've got a fire, its best to put it out first before trying to sort out your new living arrangements.

He's almost goading the club into sacking him after they refused to back him in the summer. Just like his third season at Chelsea.

It was stupid for people to think he might change for the better at United. Embarrassing for the club all round.

I wonder what Sir Bobby thinks of all this ridiculous posturing by Mourinho and Woodward.

Not that it counts for much but does he still have the support of the match going fans or is there now just a small minority on wanting him to stay?

Where do I start.
Firstly, some manutd fans make me laugh, thinking we are going to smash teams because we are Manutd. Please get it into your heads, we are just a midtable team. We play the worst football in the league, we have the worst defenders in the league. (Would anyone take Ashley young as their full back in the premier league?, would anyone take Linderlof or Smalling?) . Our striker has the worst first touch in the premier league. We have no natural wide players. Our highest paid players don't want to be at Utd. The manager doesn't want to be at Utd, the so called Chairman, is so worried about his job, that he is scared to make a footballing decision. The owners are just in it to make money.
Manchester United is in a crisis bigger than Brexit. We will be in the bottom half by the next two games. This club is finished as a football institute of Great Britain. Welcome to hell my friends!

Surely, there can't be any Utd fans still backing Jose.

He could deck Fergie and take a shit in the middle of old trafford, and the match going fans would still back him.

Can't believe hes still here after that disaster at Southampton. When will someone at the club, wake up, smell the coffee, look at the league table and the chequebook stubs and give Jose his P45.
He's not wanted or required here, he was never a first choice, he was a panic appointment.
Until the team start playing decent football that gets bums off seats instead of going to sleep then I'm taking up tiddlywinks.

I found it odd that he was basically telling us Dalot was going to start then didn't. Only reason he got onto the pitch was because of Shaw's injury.

I actually despise him now.
The last time I felt that was for moyes.
If I wasn’t so fecking angry that game would have been comical.
Fellaini starts - check
Matic starts - check
Matic starts at cb - extra bonus point
Mctominay starts - check
Mctominay starts at cb - bonus point
£50m cm is on the dame Judy and doesn’t come on - check
£75m cf looks about 3 stone overweight, trips over the ball and injures himself- check
Top scorer on bench - check
Post match interview blames the players - check

And that ladies and gentlemen is numberwang

If he lasts until the end of the season I can see some big players leaving.
The unwillingness to sack him just shows the club's lack of ambition.

If you're a big player why would you join this club? Certainly not to challenge for the big trophies. The club and it's fans are satisfied to be some sort of 'project'.

Its a lose-lose, you get shat on and your reputation shattered when it goes wrong. Some narcissistic manager takes all the credit if you do anything right.

Right. So who do we get in? McKenna for me til the end of the season because he had the youth team playing some nice stuff last year, and he might give pereira and others more games. We’re not getting top 4 so what have we to lose.

It's another rebuilding job. If we can get the right manager in stylistically with some good tactical sense who's going to give youth an opportunity then I'm all for it even if it means we take a couple of years to get back on track and into the top 4. Youth is going to play a big part if we can't attract the right personnel.

So why should the likes of De Gea, Martial and Pogba waste their primes here rebuilding (to just get into the top 4) while they can be winning at other clubs?

Any young player should carefully consider their options before moving here seeing the way some of our current lot have been treated. This is a poor place to develop.

I honestly believe that if we had gone in at 2-1, or even at 2-0, we'd have had more of a chance of winning.

I'm actually beginning to wonder if he is plotting with Perez at Real to get himself sacked so Madrid get him on the cheap.

I know it sounds almost as paranoid as Jose's ramblings about the press, but I can't shake the impression he is actively goading the club to sack him.

If only we could find evidence of such collusion and then we could sack him with no payout and report it to FIFA so he gets a lengthy ban!

Co-Managers of McKenna and Carrick, no new spending for the rest of the season. Place Young/Matic on the transfer block for Jan and just hope to finish 8-10th.

We need to basically go scorched earth policy now so the new manager in the off season is completely free of Jose/LVG's/Moyes' stink.

Sounds more plausible than Mourinho doing his best. Everything he says and does seems to be with an intent to hurt the club.

Make it happen Football Leaks! However, I'd love to watch Mourinho ruin Real.

There's nothing called "co-managers". One of them will be manager and the other an assistant. I'll favor McKenna to be the caretaker as he worked as a manager for the youth team at least.

Like i said, depends on the next manager. If we lose some key players, we'll need a manager who is brilliant with young players.

I certainly wouldn't hold a grudge against Pogba, De Gea or Martial if they were to leave. We're a laughing stock.
