I’d happily play with 10 men if O’Brien kicks that petulant human skull Garnacho into the stand.

Only if he kicks the rodent after to join him.

I suspect he's a decent coach but maybe like Unai Emory it was too big a job for his first English job. He is having to work with some right rubbish. As others have said, at least Martial and Rashford can't make themselves look decent against us this time

He may well be but what that job requires is someone with a titanic ego married with world-class managerial skills and who would be a warlord or dictator in another career. Because that’s what’s needed to keep that circus from spinning out of hand. He isn’t that. He’s simply losing the plot. Most would I think

4-0 and they sack their manager in the dressing room.

Most Manure fans will still think they’ll get a win from this. This is that moment where we have to demonstrate that those days are over. They are woeful and there is no excuse not to show the world just how bad they are.

I agree. Man U is ripe for the taking. We’re trending up and they’re falling. Great time to get some points. Love seeing them struggle.

As the lad who sat behind me, back when I had a season ticket, shouted every single match*. "Get into these, these are *****".

* Didn't matter who they were, what our form was, what their form was, nothing. Same every game. He also shouted "Put some leather on it" any time the ball entered our defensive half. Salad days.

They always manage to get a win. We owe these a battering

Only Southampton and ourselves have scored less away than these this season. That's how poor they've been.

A titanic ego didn't make mourinho a success there

. I'm not sure that's enough, they probably need to stick with a manager who is up to the rebuild. I'm not an expert on utd but I suspect part of their problem is having a load of players that were rated and signed by different managers in their squad that suit different styles of play (this has been a problem at Everton since Moyes left). On top of that they seem to have a number of toxic egos of various description in their squad. I'd say their problems are arguably worse than Everton's, even while dyche was still here. I guess they still have the name that can pull players and I guess money too. They are stuck in the sacking manager cycle, where the rebuilding job is probably one that will take 2 or more years, and that's just to be in champions league contention

100% this. Stability in a club comes from people in the positions of owner, DoF, and manager all on the same page, trusting the other, and staying in those positions a long time. Turnover causes all those problems. In all sports, clubs with success over decades all have that in common. You build a club with the same values and you bring in talent that suits that vision as free of ego as possible.

True. Its got the look of our worst days.
In that they have signed a shedload of bang average players, on big wages, who are difficult to shift.
A mishmash of players who successive managers have not been able to get a song out of .
Not sure there is a manager out there that is big enough for the job required, which in effect is a total rebuild, hamered by budget restrictions.
Seriously, I would take the position we are in over theirs , at this moment in time, any day of the week.

Would like to see Gana starting on the bench.
Tim, Garner, Charly starting.
See what they can do together.
Gana perfect backup, if things need changing.
If needed Charly can always drop in beside Gana if say Garner get injured.
Thataway you've got a fresher Gana as the rest tire.
Tim needs a tightening game, like to know he would go having to man mark, probably good.
