I think Jose has tried everything he has in his locker to gat something out of this bunch of players, he has failed them they have failed him, with such a an average bunch of players bar 1 or 2 there is no more he can do, I think it has made him grumpier,
The only thing when and if he is sacked there isn't a manager out there that could win anything with the bunch we have now,
I'm m afraid tis a magician we need.

6/ 1 in the bookie yesterday for us to win, 6/ 1 against another prem league side!
17 Dec 2018 14:32:13
I'm honestly not fussed about winning anything at the minute, Leahy. I just want to have a semblance of enjoyment watching my team again.

Jose locker check list
- But new cm for £50m, never play him
- Drop players
- Humilate young players publicly
- Play Fellaini as an AM
- Play Fellaini as holding mid
- Play McTominay at cb
- Humilate McTominay publicly
- Never ever drop Matic
- Put 10 men behind the ball, cross fingers.

Yeah we know what's been done in public. we don't know all what's been done in private and to be honest we never should. If he's tried and failed privately to motivate and fell back on digging them out in public and still failed what else is there. Shaws responded but most of the rest haven't.
17 Dec 2018 14:55:32
That would do me as well 99.

Danny them players aren't good enough for united to be fair, but I do agree his tactics are past it.
17 Dec 2018 15:14:57
De Gea, Pogba, Sanchez, Martial, Lukaku - all of them would have got into our last PL winning side. The likes of Herrera, Fred, Rashford, Lingard and Shaw probably wouldn't have been far away either.
17 Dec 2018 15:22:42
De Gea was?

Mourinho is like most posters on here who understandably can not identify with this new generation of players.
Mourinhos tactics might be outdated, likes of simeone still seem to have success mind, but the biggest thing that is out of date are his man management skills.
He played his team last night leaving out pogba and played a midfield of “his guys†fellaini, matic and herrera (somehow we have managed to find the only spaniard on the planet who can't play with the ball at his feet) and as gary neville pointed out none of them can play.

David moyes would get more out of these bunch of players let alone any good manager. He's had plenty of transfer windows and he's bought in each one of them. He got the players he wanted and then wants to replace them as well. A little bit motivation and change in style can make these same players look better.
Henderson, milner and wijnaldum look world class midfield at Liverpool but if they were here we would be crying to sell them to some championship team.

I think any of the other 5 managers in the top 6 would be rubbing their hands with the potential of the squad.
- The best goalkeeper in the world
- Two very exciting young wing backs
- Definitely need a commanding centre half (eg. Koulibaly) but have a decent partner in Bailey or Lindelof and a very talented centre half in Tuanzebe coming through
- Midfield really needs to be sorted with at least one top class midfielder that could be partnered by Fred or Herrera to press
- Let Pogba go more advanced and off the leash
- Could do with a top class right attacker but have talented ones like Rashford and Martial with room to improve.
So Leahy I can't agree with you. We don't have the best team but there is talent there. With 3/ 4 top signings and a proper COACH this team can challenge and be entertaining to watch. Cause God knows we at least deserve the latter.
17 Dec 2018 17:03:12
I can't agree with you, the wing backs haven't proved anything yet, dalot looks a player alright, pogba Fred Herrera I'd let go of, might keep Fred or Herrera for back up,
Rashford or martial again I'd keep 1 maybe., So that leaves Valencia, Jones, smalling, matic, lingard, lukkaku, fellani, Mata, darmin, rojo, young, mctominay, Sanchez, perrira, what do we do with these boys.
17 Dec 2018 17:16:03
Sailor. moyes took over a team that just won the league and got 5th or 6th so i don't think he could do any better with what we have now.
Personally i think we have the 5th best starting 11. And possibly the 4th best squad so winning n with what we jave is a pipe dream.
Id like to see some of our players playing better. But most of them can't i don't think.
Nobody wants to buy all these platters your so find of. No club looking to buy smalling fellaini jones young valencia. Herrera mata matic.
Our manager should be doing slightly better position wise. But could be playing more attractive football no doubt about that
Pogba martial lukaku in particular seem to only try 100% about half the time.
Our fitness levels are very poor. Technically we are poor.
Big challenges ahead. Let's hope those in charge appoint the right coach and give him another 400m because he needs at least that for us to compete.

I said we'd be near challenging or at least playing modern attractive football. The last 5 years we've been doing neither. With either not good enough managers or managers from yesteryear with dated tactics. One game pretty much in the last 5 years we played a high pressing attacking football against spurs at home this year. The first half was the best we looked in years. Yes we died in the second half because of our fitness levels and not being used to that intensity. With the right training and coaching we can do it with most of these players. The articulated trucks, Matic, Fellaini, Lukaku must go for us to move with the times and play this type of football. Moyes, Van Gaal and an outdated depressing Mourinho. Doesn't exactly get the blood flowing. Yes it's the players on the pitch and they do deserve some blame but the majority must go to these managers along with questionable running of the club by Woodward.
