Yeah, Gio was poor but what kind of manager would look to a bench with Dele, Lamela and Bale and select Sissoko as his match changing sub at 1-1? Only Mourinho.

You put your worst player on what the fuck do you expect? It’s like he forgot why he took him out of the team to start with.
Sissoko and Lamela/Dele/Bale play different positions...
 
Ndombele and Hojbjerg are miles better than McTominay and Fred.

Our midfield looked fine when we were actually utilizing them correctly, possessing the ball, moving it around the park.

What do people expect the team to do when the tactics deployed by the manager rely on the back four absorbing pressure?
We smashed them 6-1 earlier in the season, we're a far better team than them. However, our manager is the inconsistent piece to this puzzle. He doesn't have a fucking clue.
 
I must have been watching a different game to some on here. Thought we were fine first half: Utd flooded their defence and MF, but we had one or two decent chances, but nothing much because of their decent defending. VAR was a nonsense - Pogba might have gone early doors, but then their goal probably should have stood, too, tbf.

However, Utd loads better second half and Pogba especially. We lost the game switching Gio and Tanguy. In hindsight, someone closer in style to either player might have been a bettshout -
Dele, maybe?

Oh, and Bale clearly can’t play these games any more.

Understnad if Jose goes, understand if he stays: this is on our shitty MF options, as it has been since 2019.
 
Game exactly as expected.
Do we really want to keep players who don't want to play for us though? Sweet, Kane might become all time top goal scorer. That's great in our books.

But will any other football fan give a fuck about that? Probably not.

They will remember if Kane goes to City and helps them win a CL though. I couldnt tell you before who City's all time top scorer was but I bet we all can tell you who scored the winning goal for their first PL title.

Who cares what other fans think though?
 
Why sack him after another game and not try and get a new manager bounce before the next game.
Because we’d probably smash Everton & Southampton and rock up to Wembley with a false sense of confidence and get battered by City.....
The cunning plan is to keep Mourinho going and obviously this utter piss pot of football and then last minute sack him, totally throwing City’s game plan into absolute chaos, all the while our caretaker is scheming his master plan with the unknown tactics and personal....Evil genius at work stuff right there😂
