Come on guys, stop believing in this stuff. The guy needed the players and didn't get them, it's really that simple.

Come on guys, stop believing in this stuff. The guy needed the players and didn't get them, it's really that simple.
LOL look at it closely again then. It was never a penalty, hence the lack of reaction of the Spurs players. After our blunders of course you were all over us. You were afforded the space. It's quite common in football.
Good to know, I was confused because someone said that Herrera played as CB.
Agreed on this, I saw a good few things to feel positive about tonight.
After Brighton I felt rotten and hopeless, after tonight I feel cautiously positive and that maybe we should give Mourinho a bit more time.
We made a couple of stupid mistakes tonight but all things considered 3-0 scoreline flatters spurs massively
This is my biggest worry after the first 3 games.
Bang on really. I don't really like Jose but this is definitely the case today. Deserves at the very leas one more game because of how we played today.
Absolutely! Also signs of our over all play improving. Could be that our new look backroom staff is making changes. Atleast hope so. First half intensity and off the ball work was pretty impressive
I didn't watch the first half, i watched the second half, and even when 2-0 down I saw us play some decent football at times. Sanchez made some clever runs, people kept picking him out, but each time he was crowded out by Spurs defenders.
We didn't do anything on the right hand side. Since Mata had that 1 decent season at RW under LvG, we've not had any attacking intent from that side of the pitch. As always teams knew our only real attacking outlet was the left hand side, be it Sanchez, Martial or Rashford. It's like fighting a guy with one arm, or 1 eye.
I think the answer temporarily is to stick Rashford out there till xmas and let him to make the position his own. Even if he just dribbles into defenders, at least there will be an option for people to have to bother marking.

He isn't going anywhere this season. Would be madness to sack him this early with no viable option to replace him with.
good riddance jose .....season over after 3 games
Zidane is a viable option tbf but it's too soon for me.
Not too different from last week. If Lukaku buries that early chance we probably win 2-0. Spurs were clinical in the final third, we weren't. Shaw looked really good. Going to be hard to pick the players up from this, hopefully we can get a win at Burnley. CB has to be an absolute priority in January, all of them are either too injury prone or just not good enough. Lindelof looks like a League 1 player.
Fair enough.
I thought the game had more quality from United than the last two - certainly the game against Brighton. There were quite a few times I thought the attacks were more creative and the football more free-flowing. Also seemed to be far fewer misplaced passes than the last outing - though they're still there and still frustrate the hell out of me - I don't think I'm alone on this
. Obviously we blew all that improvement by failing to defend the Spurs goals well, although Kane's goal was well-taken.The two players who looked the most out of sorts in my opinion were Pogba and Lukaku, and that might be down to fatigue from the summer combined with lack of pre-season. I don't really have any background in sports science or inside knowledge or whatever - so I could be way off the mark on this.
Anyhoo, it's just my two pen'orth. Obviously the loss stings, and the Spurs fans at my local were(n't) a joy to behold, but I still kinda hope for the best.
I happily accept you have a different view, but, just to ask, was there nothing that you saw that we did better tonight compared to Brighton?

The season was over when we decided to keep Mourinho in the summer but not back him. We all knew it but people deluded themselves otherwise.
He should have been backed or sacked. He wasn't. This is the result.
Agree completely
Forward this to Woody.
Hey guys, is it possible at all that maybe we can convince Sir Alex to come out of retirement to manage this season? Like heyneckes did for bayern? You know, to steady the ship somewhat before looking at other alternatives next summer. Of course, only if jose is sacked.
agree 100% back or sack ....woodward did neither
Don't be silly.
Yeah I am sure this shit is all he needs after all his health issues...
Hard to feel too down beat about the game, we were the better side but crucially their no 9 is better than ours as is their defence and that was the difference
Who knows what the season will bring now, Top 4 looks like it'll be hard if City, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea keep doing what they're doing, while we just have the limp on till January at least but we're hardly going to be able to address our issues completely then given we failed to do so after and entire summer

Terrible match for United. I don't actually think we played that badly but we were let down by terrible cb's and a lack of cutting edge once again. I'm not going to get involved in the millennial hissy fit going on in this thread but Jose needs to fix things and fast.
Please don't post nonsense.

I don't disagree at all. Talent-wise, they're a top 4 team. And when you put that talent under the right coach to foster it and utilize it in the right system, it flourishes.
Maybe Fergie really did sell his soul to the devil...
I know, but a man can dream. I just don't want it to end for Jose this way. Hopefully we can pull through this.
I remember the first time I saw Lukaku, he skied a penalty kick for Chelsea in the Supercup. No one thought much of it when they got rid of him or sent him out on loan. Then he was given a run of play with a weak Everton team and produced. And yes he produced for us as well. However, he is a one dimensional scorer who does convert a lot of his chances with his strength and size but I think he also hits a lot of clumsy passes and heavy first touches. I also see the problem Jose has with Martial's inconsistent effort. But I just prefer those technical players like Mata, Kagawa, and yes Martial. I understand bottom line football is about results... but the greatest teams sign players who combine technical ability with results. We should have signed Diego Costa if we wanted a more physical player who could control the ball.
I'd love to have a war (siege mentality), though I want Woodward to give Jose what he needs.
Woodward said no to Perisic (and we saw what he could do in the WC). Today, we saw how bad our CBs are, while at the same time witnessed how good Toby A (who Jose wanted desperately).
Our DoF is over-ruling Jose and it's preventing us from improving.
You were not the better side.
Alot of people actually thought we were going to finish 2nd. Madness.
Everyone keeps banging on about not signing a CB and that our defenders are shit etc. What worries me is we not convincing up front. We could have Maldini at the back n keep clean sheets but you win by scoring goals ultimately. If we was losing 3-2 due to defensive errors I would understand but we ain’t even creating many chances.
Even your manager said we were
I think the point he makes is valid. Your number 9 took his one chance, ours missed it. That changed the game.
0-3 flatters you. Could of quite easily been 3-0 United by half time. Anyway well done on the win!
In the first half sure. Overall definitely not.
Thats not true, you were just more clinical.
