Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 7th October 2018]

Mourinhos position must be untenable after this. We are playing Chelsea and Juventus twice in the next month or so. If we play like this we will get humiliated.

Please take Lukaku off right now as well.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Why is Lukaku still first choice every ******* game when he has been horrendous for months. Put Sanchez in there and bin Lukaku. Hes immobile at the best of times and when hes not trying he looks like a bus.

You realise Sanchez has been much MUCH worse than Lukaku, and that Sanchez is utterly awful as a central striker on his own. People bang on about his season with Arsenal playing there. Against bottom 6 teams he did okay because we dominated, against anyone half decent or any time the midfield wasn't working Sanchez was absolutely abysmal upfront on his own. In almost every game we brought on Giroud with 20 mins to go, switched Sanchez to playing wide and he went from absolutely awful to getting a goal. Getting a goal in a game that he played upfront on his own doesn't mean he played that position well. He was useless in probably 80% of the games he played in that position.

He's balanced things out now by not giving United a penalty.

 

[Irish_Tom]

Ref blind again, only this time Newcastle get let off!

 

[Robbo]

Mourinho looks absolutely furious and dazed.

 

[Combat Fighter]

He couldn’t possibly do any worse!

I beg to differ on that one! Lol

 

[fez]

Mourinho looks absolutely furious and dazed.

Very much so. And so little sympathy. Hes like the person who treats everyone like **** and can't understand why no one likes them. He seems genuinely confused about our issues.

 

[Tombstone]

If it stays like this, Utd will officially end the weekend in the bottom half of the table

 

[Shamikebab]

I don't see how that one was a penalty, the defender draws his arm away to try and avoid contact.

 

[trigg_27]

How can we persuade Man U to hold on to Jose for a few more games?

Keeping him there till the 4th December might be asking a bit much though

I'm torn, we should get rid of Mourinho after this game but we are run so poorly these days that I reckon he will be here until at least january.

I honestly doubt it. Have you seen our next 5-6 games? We could lose all of them.

Who would be your choice to replace him?

Utds next 6 games are a nightmare, you're right, if things go badly they could feasibly lose all 6 of them, which would leave them very precarious at the start of December

 

[Robbo]

Pogba in a back 3?!

 

[Kenai]

McTominay off now?

Interesting stats about how many of the players signed during Mourinhos tenure are not being used...

Lord Fellaini on anyway, so a couple of scabby long ball flukes incoming?

Man U playing route-one football, well I never…

 

[Converge]

Matic, Pogba and Smalling as a back 3... erm.

 

[Shamikebab]

Rofl now he's playing Pogba and Matic as centre backs?!?
