Nobody wants to shout at the manager.
Completely oblivious even till the end of the damage he has caused.
By etc Go To PostOutrage culture as fuck
I don’t give a fuck, guy had complete control at the club, one of the highest salaries in world football, and couldn’t get his players to play for him for years.
He has tried to go down the poor little me narrative and not once acknowledged that he wasn’t good enough and it was his fault.
Even his resignation he says is down to the fans and not his own shiteness.
It took him 12 years to play with two strikers again and finally get a good attacking performance for the first time in years yesterday.
Fuck him completely.
By Francis Go To PostThe EL will be the last title Mourinho wins as United manager. I honestly wish the (inevitable) FA Cup loss will trigger him into quitting this summer just to spare us an embarrassing final 6-12 months.#MOUT
No one wanted him to succeed more than me, but there comes a point when you've got to put fanboyism and nostalgic value aside and face the fact he's steadily becoming a neanderthal in today's game and that he isn't anywhere near his former level - from just a few years back.
Real hurt him but the second stint at Chelsea killed him.
So if Sarri is rumored for Monaco, where is Jardim headed? hmmm.
By Frustrated_me Go To PostNas lost, indeed.
re: Wenger + Arsenal
I'm seriously going to miss him. He's been a figure that I've watched throughout my football affair, not always the best obviously but he's been there forever that I can't help but be sad to see him go. Arsenal desperately needs a new manager but Arsene will always be their manager for me. What a legend to have stayed so long.
RM fans want a manager's/player's head on a plate after a few bad games, yet you'll miss Wenger.
Unless you're name is Ty, no Arsenal fan is going to miss Wenger as a manager.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostHe looks like he was created in a lab. Can't tell if he wanted those tattoos or if he did it for fame/to stand outHe's pure talent mate.

Eh, I don't know. Mou could very well win the title next season if City doesn't hold its form. It's not like he did badly against the best teams in the EPL the past couple of months.
If anyone wants Mou out because of United's boring football then I'd agree. But we are still 2nd, when I'd agree with anyone that Liverpool and Spurs have a better first team. A big part of it is due to him, whether we like it or not.
Edit: actually, scratch Liverpool but damn they have one hell of a strike force.

if mou's boring football didnt lose against sevilla i'm sure there would be less people wanting him out
this should be a strong window for united though, we'll be favs for next season i guess, but united got a good chance for once
this should be a strong window for united though, we'll be favs for next season i guess, but united got a good chance for once
We got a point at Arsenal, our record against the top teams is shite this season though. Only beat City and Arsenal at home.
Yesterday's game probably disappointed me more than any since the cup match against West Brom
Nevermind tiredness, we didn't look up for it when we knew that one goal would have wrapped top 4 up. When we don't play at 100% we're terrible, and we very rarely get to that level for an entire match. We didnt get it at all yesterday though, Chelsea never looked like they weren't in control after the goal went in, even when we had the ball in the final third
Even though we're at home and Brighton are safe, we'll have to play miles better than that to beat them. Chelsea beat us with a thoroughly average performance, because we never did anything to make them think they had to step it up.
Hopefully this week's rest and Lallanas return gives us a bit of what we need, even if he's rusty he'll be an option. Our bench is desperate right now, full of players you wouldn't entirely trust to get you through a cup match against a Championship team.
edit: none of this applies to Mane who is looking more and more like his old self. Beating his market with his first touch, using his pace, solid first touch, passing at the right time where he was dwelling on the ball a few months ago
Would like to see us extend his contract now he's 2 years in, he's boss.

Leicester City have earmarked David Wagner as their next manager, with the club expected to part company with Claude Puel this month.
Wagner led Huddersfield Town to the Premier League and is battling to retain their status in the final matches against Chelsea on Wednesday and Arsenal on Sunday. The 46-year-old shelved talks about extending his contract, which has one year left, until the summer and has also attracted interest from West Ham United, who considered him when replacing Slaven Bilic in November.
Leicester officials are at the end of their tether with Puel, who was jeered by his supporters at the end of the 2-0 defeat at home by West Ham on Saturday. Chants of, “You don’t know what you’re doing,” when he made a double substitution and, “You’re getting sacked in the morning,” rang out from the home support, who saw their team lose for a fourth time in five matches and fail to score for a third game in succession. Worse was to follow after the final whistle when players, staff and the club’s chairman did a lap of appreciation in front of a deserted stadium.
Leicester handed the Frenchman the dreaded vote of confidence on Friday but they did the same with Claudio Ranieri last year and sacked the Italian a fortnight later. Puel won five of his opening eight league games in charge but just four of the subsequent 19 and has faced similar criticisms from players to those that cost him his job at Southampton at the end of last season.
Discontent in the squad has been over Puel’s tactics, communication, training sessions and decision to leave it late before naming the team. Fans have been unhappy with his attempt to move towards a possession-style from the counterattacking football that was the platform for the Premier League triumph two seasons ago.
Puel, who signed a three-year contract when he took over in October, has taken Leicester from 14th position to ninth but his team could drop several places if results go against them in the final games. Leicester host Arsenal on Wednesday and play away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. “When I came in, this club was in difficulties,” Puel said, shrugging off the abuse. “We managed with good obedience, good style, with quality, with a strong defence and a lot of chances, it was interesting.
“After, we had the possibility to fight for a European place and it was crazy. A lot of people believed in us. It is a disappointment for our fans without the possibility to perform and give this feeling. We have some negativity about our last game, or blame, and that is normal. Sometimes they [the fans] are angry or disappointed in our performance.”
Leicester would be looking for a fourth manager in 15 months, if Puel leaves. Wes Morgan, the Leicester captain, stopped short of backing him. “Basically we go out there and implement the manager’s ideas and that is all we can do,” he said.
I said it when he was at Southampton, but Leicester really ought to get rid of the whingeing players and let Puel build his team rather than chopping the manager
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostIf he hasn't we wouldn't be 2nd.It's your peak though.
Its hard to judge United's season solely based on the league position - we have had so many games with soo many clutch moments. Football365 did an article a few weeks back -
The 28 Manchester United stats that leave us confused…
The 28 Manchester United stats that leave us confused…
* Manchester United rank sixth in the season statistics for shots, shots on target, passes, touches, possession and pass completion.
* Manchester United (7) take fewer shots per game from inside the penalty area than Crystal Palace (7.1) and five other clubs.
* …but United do score twice as many penalty area goals (1.2) per game than Crystal Palace (0.6) and more than both Tottenham (1.1) and Chelsea (1) from the top six.
* Manchester United (5.3) take fewer shots per game from outside the penalty area than Newcastle United (5.6) and five other clubs.
* …but no team scores more goals per game (0.4) from outside the penalty area.
* Of the top six, only Manchester City (16%) have a better shot conversion rate than Manchester United (14.2%). That puts them way ahead of Chelsea (10.58%), Arsenal (11.76%) and Tottenham (11.8%).
* Anthony Martial has the best conversion rate (20.93%) among Manchester United’s top five scorers, ahead of Romelu Lukaku (18.75%), Jesse Lingard (16.66%), Marcus Rashford (11.76%) and Paul Pogba (8.33%).
* …but Martial has started fewer than half of United’s Premier League games this season.
* Paul Pogba has taken 61.7% of his shots from outside the penalty area this season.
* Top scorer Lukaku takes fewer shots per 90 (2.7) than Rashford (3.1), Pogba (3) and Martial (2.8).
* Only four clubs – Huddersfield Town, West Ham, Swansea and Everton – have taken fewer shots from set-piece situations this season.
* …but no other club scores more set-piece goals per game than Manchester United (0.4).
* Thirteen other Premier League clubs attempt more headed shots than Manchester United (1.8) per game.
* …but only Chelsea (0.5) and Arsenal (0.4) score more headed goals per game than United (0.3).
* No Premier League team creates fewer chances from Opta-defined ‘long passes’ per game than Manchester United (1.1).
* Only four teams – Newcastle United, Huddersfield Town, Swansea and Arsenal – create fewer chances per game from crosses than United (2.0).
* No team creates fewer chances per game direct from corners than Manchester United (0.4).
* United have scored just one goal directly from a corner all season – in August when Marcus Rashford volleyed home Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s corner.
* Manchester United’s ‘key pass per 90’ leader is still Henrikh Mkhitaryan with 2.7. Next comes Juan Mata with 2.3.
* Only Burnley (23.8) and Bournemouth (22.8) attempt fewer tackles per game than Manchester United (24.2).
* …but only six clubs have committed more fouls this season.
* Manchester United allow more shots per game (11.8) than seven other Premier League teams, including Watford (11.1) and Huddersfield Town (11.4).
* …but only Manchester City have conceded fewer goals this season.
* … because David De Gea has the highest save percentage rate in the Premier League this season with 79.7%.
* Manchester United spend an average of 27% of their Premier League matches in their own third of the pitch – equal to the record of Huddersfield, Chelsea, Watford and Southampton. For comparison, Manchester City spend 22% of their matches in their own third.
* Alexis Sanchez has been dispossessed (tackled by an opponent without attempting to dribble past them) more times in nine appearances (29) than Marcus Rashford (24), Juan Mata (19) and Jesse Lingard (14) all season.
* Alexis Sanchez has lost the ball with a poor touch more times in nine appearances (25) than Juan Mata (22) all season.
* Manchester United are second in the Premier League.
By Punished Go To PostIt's your peak though.How have we peaked if we're apparently shit? At least think the banter through before you fire it off
By Punished Go To PostIt's your peak though.Something im afraid of. Mou definitely has a history of being self destructive.
I have a lot of respect for Mou the coach. Im seriously doubtful about Mou the manager. The fact that he has set up the team to win against the top clubs - and succeeded this past few months is something.
But the fact that United finds it hard to get motivated against small clubs is telling.
can the non-dutch lads watch this or is it region blocked?
By domino Go To PostHow have we peaked if we're apparently shit? At least think the banter through before you fire it off
you're shit, but the rest is shittier.
Mourinho has done nothing as a coach to develop his players or playing style. He has good players with no defined playing style. You'll still win games as you've enough fire power to do it, but don't expect it every game.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostIf he hasn't we wouldn't be 2nd.You're second because of De Gea. He's saved United in so many matches this season.
And if United has a better squad than Liverpool or Tottenham, it's only because of the hundreds of millions of pounds slopped into it, not because of anything Mourinho has done with them.
By Mushroom Go To PostSo if Sarri is rumored for Monaco, where is Jardim headed? hmmm.The narrative usually is: Jardim to Chelsea, Sarri to Monaco. But Monaco seem convinced Jardim is staying.
Mourinho will never win a tier 1 competition ever again.

United do have a worse squad than Liverpool/Tottenham, but that doesn't really change anything. It's all down to having DDG between the net.
Uniteds squad is not worse than Tottenham and Liverpool.
Imo it's level with Liverpool and better than Tottenham by quite a bit.

United are quite stacked in that department, so are Tottenham.
It isn't about the individual players anyway...the whole point is that Mourinho hasn't been able to produce a team, or anything close to it...whereas Klopp and Pochettino are doing that very thing superbly well.
The idea he could very well win the league next season is pure fantasy. There's zero evidence to support that other than blind hope that City somehow drop 15+ points. United are doing nothing to look like they'll be a threat next year.
