At this point we really, REALLY need to cut our losses admit defeat and get rid, because he's not even doing it vs the decent and poor sides any more, which means you literally have nothing. If we persist with him any longer our season will go into freefall. I've never known a player to hamper the team so much when he's on the field. Go back to what worked so well at the end of last season.

Hes a world class pointer.

Ever since RedCafe banned me I have taken great pleasure in watching them squirm from one bad result to another with utter rubbish players they think are 'top'. We may have lost earlier but at least we were playing the champions. They just get progressively worse each season.

Does anyone find it frustrating that we end up with Lukaku for near 100m who is pretty much the worst expensive striker I have ever seen, whilst we let go 2 players that reguarly score against us and win their teams titles. ( Bruyne and Salah). For all our excellent selling price ability in the transfer market we have a pretty shocking record of getting rid of players that then become world class, whilst overpaying for the worst strikers imaginable. Ironically the only two world class strikers we have had in the last 18 years were Jose buys.

Yes, no answers, and no motivation in the games that actually matter so far. Winning semi finals is fine but pointless if you freeze in the finals. Can see us going from hype to 5th place and 2 final defeats in a matter of weeks.

Enjoyed watching Pogba tonight. Cafe had been rating him as one of the best in the world after the Ole revival. Nowhere near. Seems no-one actually wants the top four spots. Tomorrow is a must win!

Yes. Two seasons ago when we won the league with a ( then)record amount of wins!

We cant. A good result against Spurs, and a resolute display vs City in the final doesn't change that we have been woeful for ages now. Sometimes you have to just accept that a certain manager or player isnt cut out for either the elite level, or for a certain league, and from what we have seen Sarri and some of his signings appear to fall into that category.

Does anyone remember a time when we used to be 0-1 down home or away and you would expect a turnaround, or at least an equaliser? These days as soon as we go 1-0 down it feels like an inevitable loss with the opponent getting a clean sheet. I don't remember a time when us scoring felt so painfully impossible, Even in the early and mid 90's!

Still looks dreadful. Worrying times.

Its a little sad seeing the once respectable United fans dribbling over a few comments too. This is really one of those arguments where nobody wins and often the ones that start impressing upon other that 'their side won' look the fools. I would much rather remind he put the point across that he won the title and had a much better season in England than any of Joses last 5, plus that the head to heads since he arrived are 3-0-1 . He has been thoroughly dominated by Conte at United.

Clearly never been in a reduced aisle in Tesco at 7 pm then

Is it not? Its a shame to see Conte bite, because hes by far the better manager currently and has nothing to prove.

They are both in collusion with each other to take the spotlight off of City for a week. Its all as scripted as Eastenders, Big brother, or Boxing! It must be hard for both managers being so far behind the top, but especially Jose, a once great manager reduced to scrambling around for the spaces between 2 and 5 whilst having playground spats with the other managers in those spaces. Its all a bit.. feminine for two grown men.

Salah has 17 PL goals though.

I dont think we would be feeling like this were it a less important game or less important times of the match. Its the fact that two of the misses were for the opening and winning goal respectively, plus against Arsenal, who we have struggled against lately. Certainly for me I had never been wound up by a strikers performance more than last night. Even in the Torres and Ba days. Doesnt mean I rate him lower than those, probably that I know he shouldnt be missing those. Needs to play and score in the next two games.

Emotions are high, but that was a gold standard of a bad performance. In such a big game vs your rivals who seem to have it over your manager. I could take 1 bad miss but 3!

Ergh. Who would have thought after all the Romelu vs MAlvaro hype before the season started that they would both be a bit average. Sick of seeing him in 1 on 1 situations now.

He was good in a friendly vs Sampdoria ;-)

This United team still look a million miles away from the big boys. Couple of good results in pre season vs no marks made them a bit giddy. Matic, Pogba Lukaku, and their defence looking woeful.

He was always a nice guy on and off the p;itch, but can't say as we should miss him too much. Hes 29 and been average for a while now. They are building a team of average /good players in that United side to solidify top 4, but not a title winning side.

Can't stop grinning! Great to be back where we belong!

Its tough between 04/05 - the First Prem. 09/10 ending Uniteds dominance and incredibly tight race. 16/17- Unexpected. Im actually going for this season because it is so unexpected, and done in some style.

Even if we draw to Boro somehow, we can still afford to Draw to West Brom and Draw one of the others. We can almost taste it.

Think it helps that we play later next game, if pressures on I cant see us dropping anything to Boro.
