Mourinho needs to be sacked TONIGHT

Ours, it appears, aren't.

Most of them had good World Cups. Even Lindelof looked like a professional footballer for a few games. It's curious how they're all shit for us.

It's not really. Good footballers put it in 7 or 8 out of 10 every week. Average footballers look good sometimes and shit at other times.

And that Madrid starting winning European Cups after he went.

It's impossible to believe you can be successful in the modern game - maybe in any era - being as driven by conflict as Mou is these days.

All the talk of him being left behind tactically feels too easy. Look at some of the results in big games last season. But he goes out of his way to kill positive vibes.

That's what I said. Good in other teams, shit in ours.

He's had Klopp's number tactically since day 1. So did LvG. People attach too much importance to tactics in this league though. Pace, enterprise and a bit of guile will take care of most of the dross. We're severely lacking in all three.

No matter what era it is or whichever new managers come along, if you get eleven players buying into a system that is about denying space and defending, it will always be extremely difficult to beat. Part of the problem for Mou is he's just about the only one left doing it.

The ironic thing being we aren't difficult to beat...

Not anymore, because I think he's largely lost the players. But if the players are with him, Mou's approach is still awkward. Ask Klopp.

Don’t forget we were top for ten minutes on bonfire night.

This type of sneering really doesn't work when it's three years later and we'll be lucky to be top 8 on bonfire night

Jose Mourinho is due to attend a meeting with Manchester United officials later this week.

The MEN has learnt senior club figures and Mourinho are expected to attend a meeting that was described as 'routine' and deliberately scheduled for the international week, so as not to distract Mourinho from his managerial duties.

This has to be it ffs


Looks like a 50 year old bloke walking into a new job with a typewriter and Filofax in an office full of young £#%&!ers in front of iMacs

Hes not turning this round like froggie did 30 years ago

Could have been worse tonight, tbh.

Though that is arguably the really damning thing

Didn't watch on British tv

So what's tonight's £#%&!ing pathetic excuse?

The 'spirit' of the players will keep him there.

Just when you think it's all done, we'll win and pretend it's a new dawn. Just like the Newcastle result.

Had that held, he might have gone... but not now.

He isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Bournemouth (a)
Juventus (a)
City (a)

He'll get canned after those 3 games imo. We'll lose all 3 of them, convincingly, and the result at City will be the final straw.

Thing is, we probably won't. That's the problem. We'll end up pulling a performance out of our arse for at least a few minutes to rescue a game.

A last minute equaliser that changes nothing, for example.

Isn't it Everton on Saturday? We'll probably win that. Then £#%&! up those three....he'll be on the brink and then win again.

Can't see anything happening til the group stages of the CL are over.
