You like to swim deeper than most Utd fans on here and at least you don't go round using emoticons with every message. Something wrong with that imo. I think a fair portion of the blame is Mourinho and if factors like not getting his Mrs/family to commit to Manchester, losing his trusted Right hand and on top of that his acquisitions have not come to fruition. He has to be accountable and if his team sucked that much he should have sold players he did not rate. It's a strong team and with the right tactics and manager I think they can perform. Part of me thinks Mourinho just wants to do it his way and only his way and he is not prepared to change even if he has the talent at his disposal. He is displaying the 3rd year syndrome that has followed his career and it's becoming a circus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't like is people piecing together newspaper speculation and pretending they know everything. And yeah...

carmine Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 14 hours ago, Kadilo said: He must be on the brink now. United are a massive club and with that comes massive responsibilities. There’s no use cracking on about Ambassodors etc if your main man is embarrassing the club worldwide with his tantrums irrespective of results. Bobby Carlton et al must be cringing looking on. Poch fits their profile. Well spoken, respectful at all times and recognised now as one of the best coaches in the world. Personally I dont think he would go there as he’s got unfinished business at Spurs. A far better, well thought out response. Pochettino will leave Spurs at some stage and go to one of the big six but the timings right now makes that highly unlikely. Zidane must be the red hot bookies favorite, if not now but very soon.

He has got it very wrong in terms of recruitment and his management style is not suiting the team. I think he needs to exit as he's clearly lost both the dressing room and the boardroom and is now in outburst mode. Seriously need a plan B and Zidane without 1 minute of PL experience is not it. I believe they are a capable team and someone could come in and make a big impact fast. How much management experience did he have in Spain before Real Madrid?

More I don't have the power to respond. I enjoy talking to people on here even if they don't support my club. But what we have here is a complex problem which equates to more than 'blame Mourinho'. For that reason I usually check redcafe (dot) com in moments like this where we get down and dirty about what exactly is wrong on a more in depth level. What I definitely won't be doing is listening to anything an American who happens to have watched the match is saying. But you are the one making unpleasant replies!!!

balo Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have been out travelling so did not see the game, but I will hit the replay button tonight.

On the upside some of the better players have been so bad they have to hit form eventually (Lukaku, Alexis etc). But the central defence issue isn't going away. The question is whether you keep rotating them until we keep a clean sheet, or you just back who you think is the best pairing. Rojo coming back wouldn't be such a bad thing to be honest.

Bredbury Blue Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 ^If the wheels are still off after a few more games then time to panic but as you say we're only 3 games in, some players have only been back in training for a few weeks and not fully up to speed so it's very early days.

Bredbury Blue Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 One concern i learnt yesterday. I knew ManU had 2nd best defensive record last 2 seasons but i learnt that De Gea received the 5th most shots on goals last season and 2 of those teams were relegated - point is the defence is a porous but is saved by De Gea's brilliance.

United should have been 2-0 up at half time if they had taken there chances,they didn,t and Spurs took theirs and it was game over....enjoyable game and apart from finishing United were good,especially in the first half....been a long time since Spurs got a result at OT so it was due and good luck to them they deserved it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there is no one you could replace him with anyway right now. Took United from 6th to 2nd last season and with a decent points haul. However, the longer the issue between him and management goes on the crazier shit Moutinho will keep doing to make his point and that might continue to cost points.
