Hey man, I don't know how you can expect a team that finished 3rd last season and got to two cup finals, and then spent £200m in the summer to beat the likes of Palace.
It's very unfair, it's clear the structure has let him down here.

I'll keep watching. But I mentally checked out months ago and it'll likely remain that way until he goes, unless he stays and manages a complete turnaround, which looks a pipedream.
City could field their groundsmen and kitchen staff against this United side and I'd still have doubts we could pull off a win.

54.8% of you want him to embarrass us in the only game left that matters this season too

Sack him while we still have the chance to snatch FA cup to save us from completely embarrassing season.
These players couldn’t win the FA cup even if we had Guardiola in charge. There all mid table level at best.

He had the option for structure but he told Rangnick to whistle.
Yep. First interview he basically said he had no interest in Ragnick and wanted to have final say on signings.

He looked promising at first but stubbornness is not a virtue in a football manager. If he is prepared to stick to his system all year without it ever looking like working, and every journalist/pundit slating him for it, imagine how stubborn he will be about everything else at the club. You can easily see why none of the players bust a gut for him - he's not a people person whatsoever.

With the injuries and personnel available, using the same system and trying to play the same way instead of just packing the midfield with bodies is just unforgivable

We can only hope INEOS are watching
Why? They’ve watched every game since taking over and nothings happened. He ain’t going till end of season. There’s nothing in place right now which is a shame.

It's probably the worst squad of players we've had in my lifetime (the 1st 20 years were pretty amazing in fairness) in part due to him completely underestimating the standard of the league and thinking buying a bunch of players he knew would work and then it's definitely the worst coached and disorganised United team I've seen. The only justification for keeping him is that next year is essentially already a write off as the structure is still being put in place and I'm not sure a new manager deserves to have to deal with that along with the absolute mess that he has created (or at least made significantly worse).

He should have been sacked after we lost 4-3 to Copenhagen. Another zombie season has followed. All it's been good for is ruining the Scousers.

As bad as it gets today, the ironic thing is we will probably beat Arsenal….

Wouldn’t paper over the cracks though…..

Yeah get the feck out

Injuries are one thing but when you’re having 3 touches in the opposition box in a half of football against Palace Im not having excuses

I really think this might be it. Has that ominous, helpless feeling. I would be surprised if he makes the weekend but then again we've been saying this for the whole season and he keeps surviving.

Inside right
I mean, this is sackable in isolation. We're being played off the park and systematically humiliated... by Crystal Palace.

There's nothing else to be said.

A thrashing like this has been coming all season. Riding our luck to even be 8th.
