Mourinho is not a horrible manager. When he says he doesn't have the right players he's not wrong. His success in the past has been built on players dying for him on the pitch. The squad that we have now isn't a squad that dies on the pitch for their manager. They want to and need to play different kind of football. Mourinho failed to bring in the right players for him and the players failed, or more correctly he failed to acclamate to the squad.
When the club extended Mourinho's contract and claiming "he's the right manager for Manchester United" they were simply wrong. We know that now. Everyone knows that now. People were right to be hopeful to begin with even though they knew that we weren't going to get Alex Ferguson styled attacking football. If we had gotten Inter football, a team that leaves everything on the pitch and wins, sometimes even with good football (all of his teams certainly played good football for periods) then we wouldn't be moaning as we would be winning or at least contending but as it stands we aren't close and in fact we've regressed and it's clear that the squad and the manager don't mesh.
I want Mourinho gone now, I didn't want him gone 2 months ago because I knew that it was early days despite the rough start, the team did have an awful pre-season for various reasons but it should not have become this bad. I do think that a big part of the blame lies with the players as well because after all they are the ones that just need to play football which I imagine they are capable of doing in training at least. I also am not a big fan of Edward Woodward. It used to be cute that he got us all these partnership and keeping us on the world stage as a mammoth club commercially despite having lost success on the pitch but he should not be in charge of footballing aspects. We need someone that's allowed a budget who works with the manager full time to attain the right players for the team. He's not it. He just doesn't have the know-how.
Our players aren't shit. They're not as good as City's and they don't play as well together as Liverpool's players but they should be able to perform a lot better and we need someone else now that can figure out how. I don't know who that could possibly be but whoever it will be I don't except him to turn it around immediately. Just give the FA Cup and CL a proper go and focus on enjoying football in the league and give us some goals.
