We have won more in the last two years than Spurs have in the last 25,Liverpool in the last decade, and as much as City have managed since Roberto Mancini

And that's with a manager that some on here would swap and whom can't wait fir our next new shiny manager.

Yes it would be nice to be scori g 3 and conceding 1 every game and winnjng it all but realistically its winning first, aesthetics second.

People were moaning when we were scoring 4 and conceding Nil. We hadn't played any good teams.

Some people just don't like Jose and it doesn't matter what he does, or what he wins, it Won't be 4-4-2 In the 90's when footballing perfection was achieved.

That is the whole bloody point. Its the "unliking of Jose" that stems the discusiion here. There needs to be something to moan about. When we are winning, pick on the style and moan about entertainment. People are just sad.

It's just boring isn't it lads the way some behave you would think that we wasn't in the middle of our best start to a season for years.

Most of the less than inspiring performances have neatly coincided with us being without our best player yet we have held it together aside from the Huddersfield blip and shown grit, determination and character when needed.

Take away the other so called great sides players and see how they do, would the all conquering city have won as many games without de bruyne? Would spurs even be in the top half without kane?

I'm not Mourinho biggest fan never have been tbh he sometimes really gets on my tits with his moaning but I'm very grateful he has our club back on track and winning stuff again and if that means a few lacklustre performances that we still come out of with points I'm happy to accept it.

Personally I'm okay with the Mourinho appointment and him staying as manager. My only criticism is how he set up against Liverpool. Didn't think it was necessary. Far too defensive and thought we should have had a go as they were there for the taking. I'm not too fussed about the games not being so good to watch. I think in time that will come.

I agree season has started well with one blip only. Keep up the good work fellas. I, for one, like seeing United win.

I think too much is being made of this. No one is asking for Jose to go or anything, just a few people are highlighting that at times, his football is very defensive. I think fans would prefer for us to go out and attack teams. But as has been pointed out, we expected this when he was appointed.

Apologies if we don't all have a mourinho poster on our bedroom walls with a box of Kleenex at the ready on our bedside tables.

Yeah we could have set up more adventurous against Liverpool we also could have lost against Liverpool personally I would rather jump off a cliff than ever see that bunch beat us so I'm completely over it and I would be perfectly happy if were crap tomorrow and come away with the points .

When we are champions again maybe we can afford to be a bit more cavalier but this year we must win at all costs and I'm down with that I understand it.

If Lukaku burries that chance against Mignolet, we win 1-0 and Jose's plan worked. Similar to Spurs.

Deano - We could have lost against Liverpool playing the way we did. They had good chances which they squandered. It's not as though we parked the bus and gave them no opportunities, we parked the bus and they had chances they failed to take.

I can only remember them having one decent chance Syd the same as us .

Shan - Our set up against Spurs and Liverpool were completely different. Against Liverpool we didn't play and just put 11 men behind the ball, against Spurs we gave them a game and attacked.

Completely different games. Completely different set ups.


14.) 04 Nov 2017

Not true Deano. They had a few and they breached our area a lot and ball put across our six yard box a couple times with our defenders flapping. Of course these occasions aren't documented in game stats.

Anyway we should move on from the Liverpool game. It wasn't great from us, but it's gone now. We stopped them from reducing our gap by 3 points. (only good thing from that game) .

There has been folk on here asking jose to leave and they can't wait to see the back of him.

I want us to approach the game against the top sides like we did against Spurs, not Liverpool. If we went into the game against Liverpool playing like we did against Spurs, I genuinely believe we would have beaten them. At worst a draw. Maybe Bailly getting injured prevented Jose from playing like the way we did against Spurs? I hope that's the case. Bailly fit would have meant three at the back. I just think Liverpool were there for the taking. We actually made them look good when they are not that good.

The set up was similar in both games we just played better in spurs games and got the goal .
Ali had a better chance than any of the Liverpool ones but thankfully didn't take it .

It was similar in the sense that in every game a team defends and attacks, that's where the similarity ends. We attacked against Spurs in numbers, from the start. Two completely different approaches and two different outcomes. How we played against Spurs is how we always play under Jose, against Liverpool was put 11 behind the ball and protect a draw. Embarrassing. How can you nick a goal when you commit two players in an attack against 7 Liverpool players. Two completely different approaches. Hence the criticism worldwide.

Anyway let's hope we see some football against Chelsea, this is another game I believe we can win. A game I believe we should attack in numbers also. We can defend well and attack too, we seen it against Spurs.

If Ali had scored and martial hadn't all the same people would be saying the same things .
Amazing how goals and results change people's perspective.

Not true Jred, we were watching the game and commenting on it live. It was a much better performance throughout and game plan was much more positive, irrespective of result.

Anyway it doesn't matter now. You expected a win against Liverpool, how do you see tomorrow playing out? I think we can win this one personally. And it may be Conte's final game if we win.

Big game United are capable of beating anyone on there day but so are Chelsea.

The players played better against spurs shame they where so poor against the scouse.

Lukaku has struggled lately, I think losing Pogba has had a bigger effect than we have realised. We were lucky to have Fellaini on amazing form, then he gets injured. I think we will see a refreshed MU when Pogba, Fellaini (if stays) and Ibra return. I mean confidence alone we will feel stronger with these characters in the side. Big characters physically and mentally.
