Where do you stand on Jose?
I think you look piss poor, but you may as well keep the faith for the rest of this season. I think he’ll win you a cup double.
PL Weekend 30th/31st

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I mean, it's not like we didn't warn the Spurs fans that this would happen. They just didn't want to listen. The man is done at this level.
Poor Spurs, I wonder who Jose's next victim will be when he's finished with them, would love to see some sort of twist of fate that sees him end up at Liverpool somehow before he retires.
He's playing with Davies and Sissoko on the wingback. This is more of a tactical problem from what I saw this half. I mean I don't even know when this Sissoko as a wing experience has started.
With 3 defenders, 1 DMF and 2 shit attacking wingbacks, this formation is dead, that means they only have 4 players only that're of any use while attacking.
If things don't improve dramatically very soon I'll want him gone. I'm very close to that point right now. They look like a very unhappy group of players and lacking in confidence and effort. That's on the manager.
Jesus that was grim. Remember us going to Liverpool in his last game and we all just knew we'd get smashed. At least Ole is giving us the belief back, even if he might not win the league this season.
He’s just run his race at the top level. Reminds me of George Graham when he started phoning it in for the cash.
It is looking that way. This should be his last club in England.
Yeah, that title at Chelsea flattered to deceive with him, he's been finished at top level since Madrid, he wasn't the same after that experience. Football eventually passes all the greats by. Sir Alex aside.
It’s funny how someone can just fall off a cliff. I don’t understand what’s changed. My gut feeling is that it’s a mixture of tactical adjustments and a new style of man management, both of which are beyond him. I think he’s become too dogmatic about his counter attacking style. I swear his first Chelsea team, if a little boring, we’re totally dominant. Now his teams sit back but concede a shit tonne of chances.
Looks like a change for Spurs at HT. Change of manager?
Oh, Jose not even in the dressing room?
Bad signs that..

What happened with Aurier?
Returned to four at the back.
Jose out, Pardiola on?
Hauled him off at HT against Liverpool and he stormed out and went home. So presume he has frozen him out.
We should have been his last club in England! Everyone on here knew it.
Kane giving one of those rousing Amazon half time speeches?
Any preference for a replacement if that time should come? I think you guys have a very good starting 11 with the need to bring some signings. The right ones, with the right coach will make you a very strong side.
No idea
Abject performance from bale.
He must have went in said “you’re all shit” and then walked out...
Not even in the dressing room?
It's hard to call but it seems to happen to so many manager. I think the rise of gegenpressing was the end of him. His teams sit so deep and usually have so many players who run through walls but can't pass a ball that they get pressed to death. Klopp was the end of him.
God how I wish Doherty hadn't left Wolves. Our only top class player at a club and manager had no use for his position.
He looks disinterested.
Yeah, he was standing outside in the hallway very strange.Not even in the dressing room?
Something you can't blame Jose for is that he is not afraid to make changes when it doesn't work. He acts quickly.
Ha fair play. To be honest I have no idea who I'd want for Ole either(even though I'm not Ole out but we have another level in us that I don't know if he can take us too). I think Nagelsman and Rose are the 'hot' ones but the difference is that Klopp and Pep had huge experience before coming to the league.
Brighton play makes me think they're position in league table doesn't reflect on the their level.
Aurier stormed out? Charming fella. He was probably playing bad, so Jose took him out. No reason to storm out and go home to cry. Baby. Or maybe more staff happened in the dressing room. Is Aurier popular guy there? Maybe some players sided with him. Would be record for Jose, players downing tools in his second season. Don't think so. They just looked like they underestimated Brighton in the first half.
No it is deserved unfortunately. Countless games they've dominated but struggled to actually put the ball in the net. It's a constant problem, but they play some lovely football at times.
xG have them a lot higher than they are.
Was it Jose who was awful to Valencia and a lot of our players sided with him, especially the Spanish speakers.
What do they need? I always thought they were moving the ball very good against us early in the season. Constantly creating space in wide areas etc.
Brighton play better football than Spurs.
I still remember that crazy game earlier in the season where they hit the woodwork 5 times

More clinical attackers. Glenn Murray but 3 years younger would be class in this team.
I wonder what Potter could do with a really good set of players, he seems to stick to his guns and play good football.
He was? Didn't know about that. What did Valencia do to him? Hit his shins?
