This is why I was amazed people were happy with them drawing games against Man City and Chelsea. I wanted Liverpool to lose at least one of those to dent their confidence. They need to lose a match soon else I worry they might do it this season.

I was sitting waiting on who would drop Mauricio Pochettino name first during the dissection of the Liverpool Man Utd game. My money was on Jamie Carragher but it turned out to be Roy Keane who then completely contradicted himself by saying that Liverpool and Tottenham are not better than this current Manchester United setup because they haven't won anything.

Just to add, I still think José Mourinho is a great Manager but the problem with Manchester United is they are being run by a bunch of amateurs. They finished 2nd last season and won a European trophy, IMHO I don't think Mauricio Pochettino would touch the job or want to leave Spurs but that's just my opinion #COYS

They need to dump Mourinho now and get someone else in. The results and performances are so bad.

I can't see them dumping him whilst they are in the CL. I'll be paying close attention to the Pogba conundrum, if loads of stories come out linking Pogba to Juve or Barca, it could be United's way of backing Jose over the players and have one more roll of the dice.

One things for sure, the entire structure is messed up over there. Woodward is great at getting lucrative deals but hopeless at the footballing side. They've taken a look over at the blue side of Manchester and decided to play 'keeping up with Jones'' without taking in to consideration of what team they are building which has resulted in a bloated squad with a bunch of ego driven players (and coach) who have no respect for the name of the shirt they wear. Fergie would have booted a fair chunk of these out and he'd never have started throwing money at the likes of Sanchez and Pogba. They've lost their identity and ditched their ethos in favour of the money train and if they don't get the next appointment right they may be behind for sometime.

Don't think they won the league for 26 years before Fergie turned up.

That said, times have changed and they still have substantial financial muscle to back any new managerial appointment

I honestly cannot believe how much Jose has turned the fans against Woodward, in particular. The fact they genuinely believe the signings are all the problem when theres players like Pogba, Bailly, Fred, Martial...previously Shaw and Lindelöf, not getting a look in. No wonder they don't want to chuck 50mil at a player to warm the bench when Jose next has a fit.

I think it would be funny if they went undefeated and still didn't win it

What has happened to Alexi Sanchez? I think I read somewhere he was getting £400k per! I have no idea if that true or not but I've not seen too much of him this season. I look at the Man Utd squad and think they really should be doing better. I think Klopp seems to have built a really good team chemistry and after nearly 30 years I have to say I think this could be their year but only time and Man City will see. We're sitting 3rd, in the last 16 of The Champions League and in the semi final of the League Cup. Not bad for a team that everyone wrote off and laughed at after the Summer transfer window closed. Onwards and upwards Spurs #COYS

I bloody forgot him as well clearly....Mourinho get nothing but his own way, which makes it all the more funny.
