"Too early, give him tiiiime"

Got about 17mths left in Alexis's legs. So far he's torpedoed Martial & Lingards form. Registered no shots on goal vs Spurs. And missed an open goal against Newcastle.

1st month was an undeniable bust

At what point does underachieving become not good enough?

This isn't a "Is it Mourinho or the players fault" issue like the media is cooking up.

It's all of the above. None of your important players fit Jose's style. It's a clusterfuck.

As you said, round hole.......square peg.

It's still early days, but he does not have the luxury of say a Lindelof.......where you can give them 12-24 months to settle in and find his place. Sanchez needed to hit the ground running, and he hasn't. In fact his arrival has coincided with our worst month of Jose's reign, imo.

Likes of Pogba and Martial were beginning to find some form, but since Sanchez has come in both have fallen off a cliff.



EDIT: You edited to basically write what I did.

Huh?

nevermind I didn't know that every car has to look like that now

Have been saying the same thing.......too many players are getting a pass. Pogba's recent criticism aside, it's JM who has taken all the brunt. Nothing at the club is really working.

Thing is we are still 2nd, with decent chances of progressing in the FAC and CL, so it's hard to call things a disaster. Jose can always fall back on to the "boring but successful" if we have a decent finish to the season.

Will be interesting to see what happens if we finish 5th and lose in the Cups though. JM's job would be borderline untenable, imo. Hope their were some get out clauses in that bumper new contract he signed.

I think you need a fresh rebuild if Mourinho stays

 

[blokeybloke]

Being 2nd in Lg & reaching final 16 masks how far from being a top major honours winning side you are

Spurs & Pool haven't even peaked yet.

 

[blokeybloke]

Dembele just fn bossed Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal & Juve off the park but Spurs's front line still haven't hit their stride fully yet.

It's not like he's not brought in players though.......he's brought in 8 high profile signings on big money deals, none of which have set the world on fire. He should be taken to task on that. With LvG, it was down to the quality of player brought in. With JM, it is largely him failing to get the best out of the players.

He should have 3 months to save his job, not be given carte blanche to rebuild the mess he has (partly) created.

 

[LEWIS540]

Spurs & Pool haven't even peaked yet.

United certainly have far more room for improvement than both of them.......whether they realise it under the current regime is another question.

He's been working yall into a shoot for years ffs. Twat. Hope a Donald Sterling tape leaks so he has to sell the team.

Yes. Precourt has been 'looking for a house' in Columbus for like five years. There are definitely local people who want to buy the club, Brewdog involved at least. Lets see what happens.

Crazy as it sounds, it would still be papering over the cracks............I would take it though!

 

[FadeLess]

At first, I thought I'd make it to 30 at least.
Now I doubt I'll make it to 25/26.

Bro you need to get yourselfe checked up by a doctor, or have you done that yet ?
