7th in the EPL is crap ? What are CCFC then?
Not going well for them today....perhaps they can change their kit at half time, that'll help.
Interesting stats around work rate and sprints compared to the rest of the league and in their league games this season. Think they were 16th out if 20 for work rate and every team they have Played have worked harder than them.

If they got rid of Jose I'd like to see Eddie Howe given the job.
Be interesting to see how he got on at a big club.

Pogba must bring their score down considerably.
Superb on his day but I've seen a few games, (and I'll be honest I watch less top flight football now than I ever have), where he literally strolls about looking disinterested.
After the Moyes fiasco they will never again give the job to someone without Champs League experience plus a wealth of medals behind him. Maybe that's wrong but that'll be their stance.If they got rid of Jose I'd like to see Eddie Howe given the job.

Next Man U manager? Zidane has been touted, wonder if they could poach Pochettino from Spurs...or maybe bring in Conte??
But Van Gaal and Jose have at least won trophies and qualified for the Champs League. Moyes was much further off the pace than them.They have that in Jose, had that in Van Gaal. Altered little in terms of performances and consistency.
The bigger issue is Woodward. If Woodward had of backed Moyes get in his transfers that first summer as with Jose this summer maybe the side would be performing better.

I agree Woodward is overpromoted and they need someone else. They have admitted that when Jose goes they will be getting a director of football to take on the football and recruitment strategy/operations, leaving Woodward to focus on the non football side of the business i.e. commercial operations etc. This person will not be appointed whilst Jose in charge though due to the predictable effect that would have on His Grumpiness.
I agree with 75 percent of that, except the last bit - Jose has had the budget to compete for the title and has spunked millions of a bunch of players who do not fit together into a team.
I think there are managers who would get a lot more out of a team with Man U's current attacking resources. You can't lay THAT at Woodward's door (although the rest of your comments on him are bang on).That’s the point, That largely falls with Woodward’s policy of getting the deals done to land superstars/individuals with merchandise value but the other targets to gel it together he dont complete.
Now naturally a few signings haven’t worked or payed off but then that’s football even Sir Alex had them players. It is bizarre Sanchez is a shadow of the player at Arsenal but again some players fit certain clubs.
I’m not saying Jose is blameless as he has some accountability but it’s all at Woodward’s door. The greatest loss with Sir Alex was David Gill it seems

Who cares? Just enjoy it while it last, I say

You say that Baz, but I do think the Premier is a bit lacking these days without United's scintillating attacking that they had in the Fergie era. Imagine the PL now as it is but with UTD playing even at the standard of 2013, by no means a vintage year for them back then.
As many have said, Fergie could walk the league with this United side although he'd make sure to buy some decent centre halves ASAP to shore up the back line.
The powers that be at OT probably didn't trust him after he spent a combined 60 million on Lindelof and BaillyIronically the very position Jose was wanting to do business in the summer, was it 5 or more names they were linked with in the papers.

It is a case of City providing the scintillating football instead of Utd.You say that Baz, but I do think the Premier is a bit lacking these days without United's scintillating attacking that they had in the Fergie era.

Should have known better than to back Utd against Palace as part of my accumulator yesterday - in my annoyance I tried to reflect on why they've been so poor since SAF retired.
I say "poor", they won the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup, League Cup, finished 2nd last season in what would have been a competitive points total in most seasons, and also got to the cup final last season.
But let's face it, they haven't competed for the league since SAF went away despite spunking gazillions. I would definitely not blame their owners who had made funds available, but they seem to have a team of misfits who can't coherently play together. No way should a squad containing Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Lukaku, Martial, Sanchez and Lingaard be 7th in the league, 14 points behind the leaders, with a negative goal difference.
So what's gone wrong and how can they fix it?

Who cares, it's entertaining to watch. Odds on Jose will get his P45 this summer.
I just mean I doubt he will make it as far as the summer at this rate.By & large I don't bet, unless a weekly lottery ticket counts. :cigar:
