West Ham 3 - 1 United

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it actually does. We were swept aside by West Ham. WEST HAM.

I am really not a fan of changing managers for fun but I think we now NEED to change the manager before the rot spreads further. There are many problems at United and our manager is the biggest one of them. Don't get started with the usual "but the Glazers did not support Mourinho" shite - Mourinho spent hundreds of millions on players and this is the best he could do? He bought Lukaku, Pogba, Sanchez, Fred, Bailly, Lindelof, Matic and inherited quality players such as Martial, Rashford, Shaw, and DDG. I feel that with these players we should be doing much better than having the worst league start in 29 years. He's setting our team, a Manchester United team, to deal with threats by the opposition. Today we were playing a West Ham side in 17th place and Mourinho sent a defensively set up side. Fuck that, this dinosaur needs to go - this brand of football expired years ago. If our players are so poor that they'll be losing games every week, then let's lose games with a fight. We watch football to be entertained and I honestly cannot say I've ever been entertained this season. Today there was no fight, no cohesion, and no confidence. Our players were clueless. They do not want to fight for this manager. Mourinho lost the dressing room and, it seems, he's losing the fans too. Well, I know he lost me.   

Of course the players also need to shoulder some responsibility. Martial, Lukaku, Pogba were hopeless - the other players didn't cover themselves in much glory either. If you think the problem is just Mourinho vs. Pogba then think again. None of the players playing today looked ready to fight for the badge, for the club, for the manager. We were a shambles. What should we do then? Sell all these players? Of course not. The most obvious solution is getting the person directing them out the club. He's not inspiring our players - we need someone who could spur them on.  If you really think that attacking players like Lukaku, Martial, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Rashford and Sanchez are all playing so poorly just because of their attitude, then you know nothing about football. Pogba should have never gone to the media and talk like he did last week but there's a lot of truth in what he said. Mourinho is keeping this team back. Players are not bigger than the club, I agree, but neither are managers and their stupid tactics.

Mourinho has been brilliant at two things this season: blaming people and ruining my weekends. Get the fuck out my club Jose. 

Rant over. Valencia next.
