I honestly just don't know what manager will come in.

Fingers crossed we don’t score then.

100% not gonna happen.

Woodward won't sack Jose. Not til we can't make 4th, when it will likely become cheaper to bin him.

PhlegmyMoses

Weak from Smalling

How many more managers do we need to go threw before the players take the blame?

"The players" as a collective never take the blame. What would that even look like? Pogba's confession interview last week after the Brighton game? What did it achieve?

It's up to the manager to get his players to perform to their potential and the best managers make the collective team performance better than the sum of it's parts.

If a team is consistently performing below expectations, including when wholesale personnel changes are made the problem lies with the managers inability to get them to perform otherwise you'd have to actually believe that 16-18 players are all choosing to underperform for some reason.

Which is more likely?

Where were Chelsea when Mourinho was sacked? 13th/14th? And that was well into the season.

Can see something similar this year.

Your love of the board is in danger of trumping your love of Pogba.

shane.

Mourinho on the brink!

Mantis Toboggan

Hopefully that's the nail in the coffin, pathetic.

FutureGuy

Yet another spineless and heartless performance.

Spideog Rua

Fùcking pathetic

Rossi IRL

Great defending Mike

We need 2 center backs and a right back

You are dreaming. He’ll be here for a while yet.

7 goals coincided in 3 games 2 loses.

What's happened in this game is not about coaching.

Jones doesn't need to be told to stick to Kane and not get caught under the ball.

Utd defenders don't need to be told to stay in a line when Trippier has the ball and Eriksen makes a run down the wing.

Lindelof doesn't need to be told not to lose Harry Kane with the simplest of double movements.

The pressure is too much for them and they're being found out.

And...

Does José make Smalling make a fool of himself and allow Moura by him? A competent defender is able to stall from 45 yards out.

Loafing Oaf

“Moura is rapid.” Didn’t know Tyler spoke Dublinese...

kerplun k

And to think... we could have signed lucas moura last season.

thegreengoblin

Smalling was terrified there. Only one outcome.

Trigger

That’s what happens when you go all out attack with that **** at the back

LuckyLloyd

Camelot in smithereens!!

Serious questions to be asked now surely?

J. Marston

Big Sam is free.

Lads actually wetting themselves with excitement that the manager will be sacked which won't happen anytime too soon

Of course it will. There's only one end to this story and it's being written in front of our eyes.

Wouldnt be surprised if he goes this week.

Pathetic tonight

Your Airbag

Shaw is the only one who comes out of this with a shred of credibility.

Mitch Connor

Cool.

But yeah, totally our defenders are good enough.

No, attack as a team, defend as a team. We do neither

So what. Our season is done. We never really stood a chance after that summer.

nullzero

We look like a side who just got promoted into the premier league.
Keep Jose and we're fvcked, sack him and we're still fvcked. Our defense is up there with those record breaking sh1t shows by Derby County and Sunderland.
We can't score and we can't defend, we're a huge club but another couple of results like this and we could be spending a parachute payment on the defenders we need for next season.

Not sure what's more embarrassing. The team or the posts here.

How the **** did we get so many clean sheets last season?

Lukaku has to be getting alot of stick tonight..... His open goal chance could have set a different tone for the 2nd half.

Liverpool have gone through shocking spells over the years as well. Grow up.

He's done nothing worth mentioning all game.

DDG apparently.

BenK

If you're keeping Mourinho in the summer, you have to back him and the money was there to back him. He clearly wanted players bought for a couple of key positions, as did the majority here.

If you decide not to back him, as Ed and crew decided not to, you can't be surprised with how things are panning out. He should have been sacked in the summer if they didn't trust his judgement.

You making up more odds?

discobeaker

Shaw and maybe Fred have shown some hope. After that,we have been awful. It's like a different team came out for United in the second half.

He can't do everything though. To be honest I don't think he's looked himself since world cup either.

Surprised to see so many home fans staying until the end, they must want to boo the performance.

What serious question need to be asked 3 games into the season that shouldn't have been asked during the summer?

Smalling and Jones at club this long is some achievement.

I'm not going apesh1t calling for his head for the simple reason that I know it's going to happen regardless. It's just a question of time. How anyone can't see that is beyond me. It's pure head in the sand stuff.
