    But the fact of the matter is …. he is a United manager.

    I thought Mourinho said he needed 4 signings to complete his team at Utd. Mourinho’s changed his tune since the start of the season when he predicted that they were title contenders. Maybe reality has set in, and he’s realized he was as deluded as his fans here.

    Utd need a new 23 before we fully agree that there’s no longer a gap? LOL. It’s the job of the coach to nurture the potential of his players at his disposal and bring out their best through tactics and man management

    @wonderfuel I don’t think the team looks spent. It’s a team that relied on pogba for creativity. Since pogba’s absent it’s like watching lvg’s united. Players like herrera fellaini carrick bring no creativity or tempo to the game. Our draws earlier in the season was because of poor finishing recently it’s because there isn’t any creativity. Martial has a good moment every 15 minutes, lingard will never create anything and rashford plays like and kid in the park. It’s just not good enough to be relying on these young lads.

    Apart from Swansea away I can’t remember a comfortable game this season. Even in europa we got off to a bad start so had to play our best players throughout. Bad start to the season domestically and in the league has forced jose to play him regularly.

    We’ve been out midfielded in virtually every game we’ve played this season and since long before they started to go knackered. We need at least TWO midfielders this summer, a beast to control the middle and a playmaker to do what Carrick’s never done. I’d actually prefer three because Herrera is pants but concede that two’s the most I can hope for given that we also need two strikers and two full backs as well. That’s 6 coming on without even considering a new CB. It won’t happen but it definitely IS the minimum summer requirement. And I could think of at least 6 to go the other way without even blinking. But we must control midfield next season, that’s where titles are won.

    Surely Mourinho wants to win BUT he is more concerned with not losing. If he had ‘gone for it’ in all games drawn at Old Trafford and say he had lost 5 by doing so, what would we be saying about him? We would be on 60 points and probably 6th. (I realise that this not scientific and highly speculative!!) Conversely what if we had won 5 by being adventurous, hungry and passionate………hahahahahaha…sorry got carried away there!

    It’s called a poker face, what did you expect him to say…I’m buying four players, the rest aren’t up to much but they’ll have to do?

    Sounds like you should keep talking to your “lil sister” about football:

    wonderfuel gas – I don’t have a problem with Mourinho expressing his ambition or ‘poker face’ as you put it. What I dont agree with is the excuses given by posters here saying we don’t have the players to win games like today. It’s not as if Utd has a team full of rubbish players and youngsters. Mourinho has a squad full of seasoned vets – de Gea Spanish number 1, zlatan WC striker, pogba world’s most expensive flop LOL, Mata twice Chelsea player of the year, Mkhi WC player, Bailly very good defender, Valencia arguably the best right back in the league, Martial, Rashford and Shaw players with great potential and a host of other internationals in the team. He just needs to organize them and beat these bottom of the half teams with ease and shouldn’t be trying to make excuses.

    Look at Chelsea. Conte came-in and signed 4 players (Luiz, Canta, Bashtuay, Alonso) and they are 16 points ahead of us. This the same Chelsea team that Mourinho left at bottom half last year. Victor Moses was an outcast under Mourinho but he’s now one of Chelsea’s most important players. My point is that Mourinho tactics and defensive mindset is costing us points and his treatment of some of our players is disgraceful. For the record, I have no doubt Luke Shaw and Martial will become world class players at United or else where.

    My darling lil sister has probably been to OT more times than you

    I think they look spent fatrooney…absolutely goosed, nothing in the legs. There is no energy there.

    Do you think Mourinho wanted to play that side today? Do you think he believes that is a side worthy of Manchester United? I’d give him more credit than that.

    Martial Art…I followed United home and away for over thirty years so go and finger your own hoop you pretentious, clueless little whipper snapper.

    wonderfuel gas – Sorry I didn’t know you were a match-goer for 30 years. I thought you are 12 years old. Anyway, I think you have agreed with my other points so Mourinho can go and finger his own hoop if he fails to win the Europa League. He’s such a pretentious, clueless little whipper snapper of a manager. Hahahaha

    @wonderful. I have to disagree mate. Which player should look spent apart from valencia and bailly? Blind martial rashford rooney lingard herrera young and Carrick have not been regulars. You can replace herrera and Carrick with Bastian and schneiderlin and it wouldn’t have made a difference to our performance. The truth is that these guys are not good enough and they put in a performance that we were used to seeing last season. Our midfield is horrible there is no energy or creativity no wonder we struggle to create chances without pogba.

    It’s so bad that I would prefer leroy fer and ki over carrick and herrera. Is there any difference these? Like I said earlier there’s a number of Swansea players who I would prefer over the thrash that played today.

    Fatrooney…I think the lot of them did. Mentally and physically they looked shot through, no energy whatsoever.

    It looks like an exhausted side limping to the finishing line and missing leaders, defenders and Inspiration.

    It’s amazing the outrage on here. Had any one of our draws been a win, we’d be in third place and almost all here would be saying its a respectable position given we have a new manager (and players), Chelsea are far away the best team and Tottenham is having a Leicester season.

    JMs moans really pee me off at times. Just read about him moaning “This is the ninth match of April, it is not human. We have a squad of 22 that is reduced to 13 or 14 players.” Fixture pile up is nothing new, nor are injuries. This is precisely why big clubs hoping to compete in several competitions maintain a big squad and rotate players. He could have got rid of glassmen Jones, Smalling last summer, kept Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Depay until summer, given youth more game time to rest the old legs … and failing all that …. just accept that its all part and parcel of the game in England. The PL is a marathon relay race.

    MacGuffin – Mac to be fair the greatest of them all used to do the same and more in terms of moaning re the abundance of matches and even if my memory still serves me right ‘tampering’ with the till then revered FA cup. Was he wrong ? You were there as well amigo.

    Mac,further more as you well know, the great man had many a better footballer/squad than the current lot with a couple of ever present water carriers as well.

    And to rub it in he was always turning the spotlight of criticism directly on himself rather than let his players carry the can.Remember the ‘solo contro tutti’ battle cry which would unite every reds supporter ?

    Come on man you are not the martial.

    @emmicallef – I thought SAF moaned too much as well. I understood strategic moans aimed at putting pressure on referees. And as for fixture pile up, perhaps my memory is not so good, but as I recall he used to complain when a big game was scheduled close to a CL tie. My understanding is, the fixtures are first made by computer then then PL tweaks them for the benefit of TV schedules. SAF argued they could tweak them more to take into account English clubs challenging for both PL and CL.

    SAF moaned because the PL had it in its power to make life not so difficult. JM moan is about the number of games, not the dates of specific games.

    PS – I thought the “everybody is against us” mantra was bullshit, especially given how we are the darlings of the media and how referees were intimidated by OT and SAF.

    Fergie was a master of winning the games before it started,at least in PL.
    Putting pressure on the referees ie the Fergie factor.

    What Mourinho does is constantly moaning about everything and excuses in overload.
    Its never his fault at any time,if it isnt the referees,its the players or medical staff. Funny thing is he haven´t played at a high level so he dont know how it feels and he certainly dont know how every player feels,its individual.
    I am sure of there are primadonnas in the squad and some are injury prone than others. But it was his call to keep Smalling,Jones,Shaw and give extensions to Carrick,Lingard and their likes. It was also his call to trim down to a minimum kicking out Bastian,Morgan,Depay. So Mourinho must take some blame for this,giving him a free ride for everything is ignorant a blind love.

    To me Mourinho is not a Man United manager,cant stand the Miserable One with his attitude and negativity,both personality and in football. He never smiles and same with his football. The only good with him is he can pull in some good players and lord knows we need it,but it will end up in tears as always with the Miserable One.

    Mourinho is spouting a load of rubbish every time he opens his big gob. You’d think we are the only team to have injuries. Liverpool have been without their captain for 6 weeks, their leading scorer is out until the end of the season, Lallana has missed the past 6 weeks, Sturridge is always injured, Ings has been out all season. They were also without Coutinho for two months. Deal with it Jose and stop using it as an excuse. How long do we really need this insufferable buffoon of a manager in charge of our club?

    For the last 3 seasons united have suffered lots of injuries, the last 2 seasons the Mourinho fanboyz on here blamed lvg’s training methods. Strangely enough I haven’t heard anything of them blaming Mourhino yet this season is probably the worst for injuries so far

    I think it’s a little over the top IKA, no doubt a very frustrating result and probably our biggest chance of being in the top 4 gone. Agree with Tommy on the squad status though, Fergie would have picked some shite teams in November, inexplicable team selections that you would never understand. But what it did was get everyone game time in their legs. So at this time of the season whoever was called upon was ready and the squad was purring like a well oiled machine. But Mourinho has just stuck with his same team pretty much all the way through the season and Pogba, Zlatan and Bailly are now crocked and without them this team average at best with no winners (apart from Rooney!)
    It really is Europa or bust now.
