Our worst start to a Premier League season

[Sultan]

Already 3 defeats and conceding 3 goals in each of those games. We have not yet visited City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Huddersfield.

Our best-attacking players not finishing the games include Pogba, Martial, Lingard, Sanchez. Keeps Scott McTominay at central defence despite having Bailly on the bench.

The United players were playing a friendly.

It’s beyond shameful.

Unforgivable really. We probably had the easiest start to the season fixture-wise out of last season's top six and are closer to relegation than the top six.

 

[Kag]

Apparently Harry Maguire and Willian would have solved issues such as these.

 

[Summit]

don't forget to word EVER

 

[Minimalist]

That's the only worthy response. And I hate that cnut.

 

[AndyJ1985]

Yeah but, that half hour against Spurs though...

 

[Woodzy]

Unforgivable really.

It really does feel like he's tying to prove a point more than he is trying to win a football match.

He's in sabotage mode for me. Decisions he's making are that of a man who wants the sack

 

[Amadaeus]

After spending over £1 billion after Sir Alex retirement, I have not seen any improvements in this team besides in these players salaries.

 

[K2K]

We are worse team than we were under Moyes.

At least, he was understandably clueless.

 

[VeevaVee]

Disgraceful

 

[Amadaeus]

If we had signed those two plus Arnaotovic, there is no doubt that our team will be much better. Our board has lost faith in Mourinho and it was more apparent in the last transfer window.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Closer in points to the relegation zone than 1st. We could be in a relegation battle if we keep this clown. Laugh if you want, but this is Chelsea 2015/16 level shit.

Huge part of the problem. As much as all the Woodward/Pogba/Jose stuff but far less talked about.

Does feel like it. He made some similar decisions in his last season at Chelsea. Would probably end up costing £40M+ to sack him

 

[Beachryan]

But second place!!!!

Our team would be fecking wank, even if we were playing up top with Messi and Ronaldo.

And no, that is not an exaggeration. We’d still struggle immensely because we’re woefully coached.

 

[Mockney]

When he meltsdown he really fecking scorches the earth doesn’t he? It’s almost kind of impressive.

Don't forget the magic key - Perisic.

Bargain...

There is a lot of doubt about that Mourinho hasn't gotten a single one of his signings (except Romero but he's a keeper so less affected) to improve or play at a similar level of his previous club.
More money has to be earned by trust.

 

[Neo_Mufc]

It's fine guys, the club reported 590mil in revenues this week. Woodward is happy.

 

[Bojan11]

Moyes has the excuse of City and Liverpool away. Funny enough Chelsea at home parked the bus under Jose...

 

[bosnian_red]

It was entirely predictable at the end of last season, at the start of the summer, and at the end of the transfer window. So many of us on here were predicting exactly this. Just so obvious we were going to be shite with Mourinho.

 

[Miles Platting]

The people who are both next to me and at the back of my house are all City fans, I only listened on the wireless and was going to do my gardens after the game, the grass will have to wait for another week.

 

[Yagami]

Who's actually surprised?

Those of us who looked past our league position last year expected something similar to this. Not as bad as it has been, but it's still not that surprising. Too many people clung to 2nd place.

 

[Sm33]

Finally something i'm able to make a post on.

We're an absolute joke. It's like he closes his eyes and makes calls on team positions. There is zero consistency. What the feck were the team and subs? Excluding Rashford it was a joke.

Ship him out, get someone in who doesn't piss around with the team constantly. Each teach is a constant merry go round. Get some consistency and sort the team out.

Absolute joke.

People were saying this could happen when the season started, but many on here thought otherwise.

Should have known then. One of the dumbest approaches I've seen given how shite we were.

Haha love that

 

[Sb_16]

There was still a record to break after Moyes?
Well done 'The Special One'!

That could be true. But, looking at the current options, it is hard to imagine that these players would not have improved us.

 

[Roboc7]

We have quite an easy run of games as well, this is the worst United team in the premier league era based on the season so far. There is nothing they excel at and they look every inch a midtable team, I get they aren’t the best group of
Players but the manager is the bigger issue.

 

[Summit]

You won't believe how much this has just depressed me. No way we sack him.

 

[AltiUn]

Doesn't matter how people view Bailly, there's no way anyone can convince me he'd have done a worse job than any of our other defenders out there today. He's erratic but at least he actually looks like he gives a damn. Thing is we've already played some really shocking teams, West Ham and Brighton will be easy pickings for most other top 6 teams.

Biggest worry is lack of a plan when things go wrong, which they often are doing. The players don't seem up for any game at the moment until they're already 2 goals down.

Free signing by LVG. So none.

 

[kouroux]

That could be true. But, looking at the current options, it is hard to imagine that these players would not have improved us.

And looking at recent history, it is hard imagining anyone helping us out with Jose still as the manager. They may have improved us from an individual POV but our football is broken, dead and outdated, without a manager change, there is no hope of serious improvement

We were told its a myth?

Can we re-open this thread btw?

 

[Damien]

If we had signed those two plus Arnaotovic, there is no doubt that our team will be much better. Our board has lost faith in Mourinho and it was more apparent in the last transfer window.

From the signings Mourinho has made:
Lukaku started, in poor form right now
Pogba started, hauled off and situation between him and Mourinho is putting us in the headlines for the wrong reasons
Matic started, been poor for a while
Lindelof started, hauled off in favour of keeping McTominay on
Zlatan gone
Mkhitaryan gone, replacement Sanchez - our highest earner - dropped from squad entirely
Fred dropped to bench
Bailly benched in favour of starting McTominay at CB
Dalot left out of squad

He can't get a tune out of the players he has signed, never mind signing more.
