Its a flaw that we have.So he isn't purposefully managing us terrible. It's all just a bit of a mistake.
Is it that hard to understand? Are we seriously saying Jose sets us out to be disjointed and all at sea at the back?
Mourinho's cowardly tactics set us up to fail

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Maybe not.
Game over.
Again so easy for them.
Sitting back works a treat.
Fecking fools.
Fecking fools.
Emphatically.
Has been this way for years.
That's the problem. "They" never listen. "They" always make mistakes.
He's perfect though.
He's a coward.
He’s the biggest coward in the Premier League. A disgrace that we’re letting him ruin everything the club used to stand for.
Lets sit back some more. Seems to be working out well for us.
can you tell me what the plan was with that midfield?
He manages is to sit back fairly often. And regardless, if we have such a gaping flaw more than two years into his tenure, then he has no business managing this club
Relax, stop being so upset friends.
Fair enough the tactics of sitting back are shit. Agreed. But we also have a squad with bang average players like lingard, Young, Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Valencia, Herrera, Rashford, McTomminay, Fellaini etc....we aren't going to get back to anywhere near where we want to be with these players starting for United. They ****,y aren't good enough. You could argue Mata, Sanchez and Lukaku fit that group as well.
plenty oh which were signed in mourinho's reign
I don't think he built this side with how we're trying to play this season in mind.
I kind of wish we did sit back a bit more, we seem to need the opposition to sit back a and protect a lead before we take a forward step.
At least if we sit back on purpose we would have some sort of control and purpose.
Jesus christ.
Didn't say otherwise mate, but my point being is this squad is nowhere good enough to take city on in an attacking game. In fact, half of those players arent good enough for mid table teams. We are what we are at the minute. A crap squad.
Alright. So this season is just happening to him? Am I mistaken or is he supposed to manage our team?
The worst part is that we arent even being properly set back. I seriously dont know what does Mourinho train in the week, its embarassing.
Mourinho has done a decent job. There was no chance of out passing City without Pogba. Please be realistic. We are still in the game, support the team and sook after cmon.
Are you kidding? I'm pretty sure his 20m a year contract is only to cover general appearances and press conferences.
We’re making a good effort of this so I’ve no idea why people are complaining.
Because we play like fecking Stoke mainly.
Yea. Did you miss the summer debacle?
He's had to adjust the style of play with the same set of players that were signed to play a more conservative style.
Do you think he signed Matic and Lukaku with the intention of a high press?
Good use of the victim card. Nobody is buying it. Poor management is leading to poor results/peformances. The debacle started when we hired the wrong manager again who has only gone on to prove that fact.
Given our manager's nature, the players we have and the gulf in class between us and our opponents, I have no real issue with the tactics he chose today.
It's the aforementioned nature, players and gulf that is unacceptable. We shouldn't be in a position where this is the best way we can approach the game. Which is (largely) Mourinho's responsibility.

Because in some of our minds 2 years after getting a supposed top manager and him spending 400m+ in that period, we expect to see a bit more than "making a good effort" like some relegation battler.
But may you are right. May be we need to reconcile to the fact that we are no longer a top dog and our manager at this moment is a glorified Tony Pulis with a bunch of 30m to 75m pound duds.
City: 10 shots 68% possession.
United: 2 shots 32% possession.
Mourinho mega-fans “we’ve played well”. Ok.

Oh so close lads!
Nearly a brave 2-1 defeat but we let it slip.
Hard luck.
Fecking joke. Feck off Mourinho.

It’s fecking atrocious. Every poster that defends him is surely a fan of a rival club posing as a United fan? We don’t even try.
It’s pure delusion.
Mourinho's biggest achievement is lowering the expectations amongst Top Reds.
I thought we wouldn't hit 30%. Jose's overachieved.
I agree. Start this thread when the match is over, and they call it knee jerk. Start it during the match, you’re laughed at. Fact is, you’re talking about more than just today.
Playing with 3 defensive midfielder who don’t have the ability to attack and expect something is just pathetic.
Martial is the only player who tried but Mourinho is going to say it’s Lukaku is the reason why we got a goal

One shot on target, via a penalty, due to their keepers mistake
Yep, doing an incredible job any other manager would have been long gone.
As the little underdog, sure.
