We're 2 points worse off in the league in at this stage last season and only 4 better off than the 19/20 season. Just fecking wow.
This stage last season, we'd lost 3-1 at home to Palace, scored a penalty after full time vs Brighton to win 3-2, lost 6-1 to Spurs and lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal. We'd played Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea at this stage, we've only faced Leicester and Liverpool and lost comfortably to both.

19/20 we'd played Chelsea, Leicester, Arsenal and Liverpool which we were unbeaten against, surprisingly but in typical United fashion under Ole, we'd lost to Palace, West Ham and Newcastle. Being 4 points off that total after playing 4 of top 6 shows that we have actually regressed, unless we beat both Spurs and City.

We're toothless. We're not aggressive, we don't tackle, we don't put any pressure on the opposite team. And it's on Ole and the coaching staff.

Call me old-school but I'd start setting up my eleven with a strong midfielder who can tackle and who leaves everything on the pitch. Meanwhile we play with Fred who tries to do a little bit of everything and fails and McT who clearly doesn't know what his role is. Heck, the moment Cavani was coming in and he didn't understand his role and Ole had to ask for someone to translate sums up our manager and his coaching staff perfectly. In a match against LFC, in any match, they should know their drills by heart.

The fact Liverpool weren't even at their best yesterday and basically stopperd trying to score after their fifth, is fecking scary.
Yeah I thought they were good without being brilliant but were made to look better by our ineptitude. Once they got the 5th they were coasting as if it'd a friendly. If it were a game where they deservedly needed a GD boost they could have tonked us 7 or 8 nil.

Alright, that's a bit too far. He's giving his best and just isn't good enough.
I don't believe that he cannot see the dangers ahead when everyone else who watches football can and is basically shouting out those dangers to him since about 7 games ago.

Everyone's telling him to brake and turn the wheel hard but he seems intent on driving this train off a cliff in the most explosive style possible. Why? I get angry just thinking about it.

I should just lay off footie for a while.

Not really, they're the three games before the international break.
No reason to not sack him this week. Not one.

He will beat Spurs and Atalanta and lose to City.

No way he will be fired after that. So we will be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Anyway, it tells you everything about how that's received that there are more comments than likes on this tweet.

He is not gonna change anything, vs Atlanta, he will start the same 11 that shipped 4 in 45 mins vs Liverpool.

He is not brave to drop Ronaldo, Bruno, and Maguire.

This is a major reason we are a shit football club under the Glazers.

We sack managers years after they deserve to be.

Yep, total regression despite spending a feck tonne since then.

It's literally torturous. Especially for the fans who've wanted him gone for a long time it's been a long slog. Now he survives the worst performance a large portion of us have ever seen against our bitter rivals at home.

That tweet has killed any hope I have for the season. It sounds melodramatic, but if we’re publicly backing him after the results he’s had and the money he’s spent then we all might as well not bother.

It's sickening. Sick of them being all contrite after another shambolic performance. feck off with that nonsense. Everyone knows they're still getting paid Manchester United wages without meeting Manchester United expectations. The least they could do is stop it with all these social media nonsense. Sorry means nothing when it keeps happening over and over again.
Can't blame players for apologising if they are shoved in front of a camera to be interviewed. The tweets put out by their PR people get me though. Just stay off social media.

“We are too close to give up now. We know we are at rock bottom."

How can you be really close while at the same time being at rock bottom, it doesn't even make logical sense.

I don't think it's so much as public backing as the social media admin just posting his post-match comments. His sacking was always unlikely but could still happen and the tweet will have no impact on that.

We've come full circle. The toxicity that already is here will be mounting in the coming 1-2 weeks. A new coach (interim I hope) will come and "steady the ship". The new coach in the summer will talk about a mini "rebuild" and off we go again.

When I was saying in the summer that he's done just an OK job and nothing more, people here were telling me that I should go and support PSG, City or Pool. Where the feck are all those top reds now? Back in their holes I guess.

Seriously I can't wait for this serial loser to leave the club. Many people here will claim he was the best manager post SAF, but personally a coach who spent over 300m, hasn't implemented a specific style of play, hasn't challenged for a major trophy and the one he challenged as usual he bottled it and won feck all can't be considered "the best".

Second worst after Moyes yes
Best after SAF not even in all those top reds' wet dreams
