Are those defending mourinho and this shower of shit for real right now?

I totally forgot about united. Atleast they had the excuse of Moyes and Blackburn lost their star players and the manager that won them the league. what's our excuse for such a poor showing?

He use to be funny 10 years ago

Has there ever been a worse defence of a league title? Blackburn in 95/96 perhaps. this is embarrassing stuff really.

He's begging to get sacked either that or he's completely lost the plot. Like I have already said, our luck finally run out. You can't continue getting away with bad performances one after the other. What baffles me the most other than his awful tactics and team selections is his total lack of awarenenes/(he's delusional) and total disregard for common sense. Some of the mistake he is making are simple stuff that anyone with basic common sense shouldn't be making. Now is the time to take action though, 3 defeats in 5 while playing poorly in every game with the team showing no signs of improvement is absolutely worthy of a sack especially at the top level.

That gif is the only appropriate response to your ridiculously outrageous post. In fact I'm surprised at how many posters took that post of yours seriously. Costs is the "second best striker in the world" what's next, Oscar is the best attacking midfielder on the planet and beyond.

I can't stand the thought that he will likely be our main striker for the foreseeable future. He's simply not worth the drama and baggage he brings with him and we should be doing much better than him.

True but compared to the likes of Izzy browns, loftus cheek,zouma, Kennedy et all. He's at a disadvantage in Jose's world.

Be honest here. If it came down to it who do you think mourinho is going to choose between Izzy brown and boga?. His track record of favoring big physiqued youngsters is undeniable. Plus izzybis also English (homegrown and all)

I agree although I feel Musonda is on par with him ability/talent wise. Only two things that can stop Boga from making it here are injuries (He's quite injury prone) and Mourinho's lack of faith generally in youngsters (especially ones with smaller physique)

Ivanovic was shit defensively last year as well. Yes he scored some crucial goals and made some good attacking runs and play but his poor defensively display this season is actually a continuation from the previous season rather than an abnormally.

Me too. Im following pasalic, ake and colkett with keen interest as well. If Jose wasn't the manager, I woukd have been very optimistic about a few of them making it here.

The fickle nature of Football fans laid to bare.

Why is it that 95% of his interviews consist mainly of "his aspiration to become one of the best players" and "looking up to messi and ronaldo". does he ever talk about anything else, or do interviewers ask him about anything else. Just something I have observed.

I beg to differ but we are not superior to Utd and Arsenal but I agree this squad/team is capable of much better performances and result than we are currently showing.

This kids never learn.he will be shipped out on loan in January like his predecessors.

Fair enough. I still believe that jose's complacency or inability to address our form (performance wise) since January is the biggest reason for this mess we find ourselves at the moment. The "as long as we got the result, everything is fine" mentality is not acceptable for a club looking to enjoy a long term success domestically and in Europe. The board also share some of the blame as well ofcourse. it goes without saying.

You are overestimating Oscars influence (if you can call it that) in the team big time here. we have lost/drawn and/or played like absolute crap in many games that oscar has played in and he has actually been one of the worst players on the pitch in some of those games, he's known as mr inconsistent for a reason. There are many reasons for our poor form but oscar isn't one. far from it. I can give you reasons like key players out of form, Jose's team selections and persistence with under-performing players, rubbish tactics, lack of a balanced and functioning central midfield, our luck of getting away with bad performances finally running out and so on.

And whose fault was that? If the manager trusted and rotated his squad better and more efficiently not only would it have prevented the burn out you are referring to but it might have helped us keep some of the squad players that left, due to lack of playing time. games like Hull city (away), man city away, PSG Home and away, Liverpool COC, Bradford FA cup, we looked just as open defensively. if you didn't limit it to just defensive performance and included all the games where we looked poor and completely devoided of ideas there would be even more examples of those from last season.

Based on what? When Remy has actually scored plenty of crucial goals for us last season. You couldn't be more wrong. Even if that was true, that's no justification for freezing out Remy. Every player should have to earn their place in the team.

Even schmeichel will concede bucket load of goals playing behind the joke that we call a defence

Are you seriously asking this question? Isn't that what we are paying the manager millions for, to get the best out of his squad and limit bad performances to a bare minimum while the team shows clear signs of improvement that we haven't seen since january. For starters he could drop under-performing players like Ivanovic, fabregas, Costa, Matic et al and give chances to players like Baba (move azpi to right back), Remy, Kenedy, RLC and co. Also the way we have been relying on hazard and to a lesser extent fabregas for creativity and our horrendously poor defensive displays, the way we are constantly dominated and overrun in midfield against every decent opposition and so on reeks of tactical deficiency and flaws. we do not attack and defend well as a team and that's up to the manager to sort out. I have and it means absolutely nothing. The likes of Ake, RLC, Christensen,Bog also made last season UCL squad and we know what happened. Since when? is that why Remy, one of our most productive players last season has been completely abandaoned and our best player in pre season, Moses has been shipped out on loan again without playing a single minute for us. What about Ake and Kalas what reward did they get for their good performances? On the other hand it could be said that he definitely doesn't punish awful/bad performances from players he considers his favourite/untouchables like Ivanovic, fabregas,Costa just to name a few.

Or remy
