"Full-time: Abject Shower 0-3 Tottenham

Jose Mourinho walks on to the pitch and commiserates Luke Shaw. The camera picks out Ed Woodward, who looks shellshocked. Tottenham's fans, meanwhile, are in heaven."

That's the first time Poch has won at OT afaik.

Brendan Rodgers to the rescue

United at their defensive worst in that 2nd half.  How Jones & Lindelof are making a living as defenders for a top 5 club is anyone's guess and Kane or Moura would have taken those chances Lukaku missed 1st half. Was never a 3-0 type of game  but Its results like tonight that will likely spell the end for Jose sooner than later now.

So enjoyable!

Well done Spurs although admittedly they were up against nothing. Funny how all those "great" Utd fans seemed to disappear the last 10 mins!!

Hard for United to compete with all the new signings Spurs made in the summer

[stiffler]

De gea has now conceded 12 goals from the last 16 shots at him.

[Milltown Row2]

For a lot of that match Utd didn't do much wrong attack wise, defending was all over the shop

[yellowcard]

Mourinho is getting increasingly erratic which he tends to do when in crisis. It was not the worst performance and certainly not a 3-0 one, however playing Herrera in defence.

Sadly I can see Mourinho stumbling on for another while but I can't see any signs of things getting better and some of those players confidence looks shot.

Would Poch be the man to replace him?

Was hoping for a united win...unfortunate result

History repeats itself

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.

in  June 1971, Frank O'Farrell was appointed as manager, but lasted less than 18 months before being replaced by Tommy Docherty in December 1972.[37] Docherty saved Manchester United from relegation that season, only to see them relegated in 1974; by that time the trio of Best, Law, and Charlton had left the club.[33] The team won promotion at the first attempt and reached the FA Cup final in 1976, but were beaten by Southampton. They reached the final again in 1977, beating Liverpool 2–1. Docherty was dismissed shortly afterwards, following the revelation of his affair with the club physiotherapist's wife.[35][38]

Dave Sexton replaced Docherty as manager in the summer of 1977. Despite major signings, including Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Gary Bailey, and Ray Wilkins, the team failed to achieve any significant results; they finished in the top two in 1979–80 and lost to Arsenal in the 1979 FA Cup Final. Sexton was dismissed in 1981, even though the team won the last seven games under his direction.[39]

Now the club is all about money
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.

Manchester United was the highest-earning football club in the world for 2016–17, with an annual revenue of €676.3 million,[10] and the world's most valuable football club in 2018, valued at £3.1 billion.[11

It's only the third game of the season but how can Man u's defending go from one of the best last year to what we've seen the past few games? Is it injuries, change of tactics or something else? Matic been a big miss, to provide a bit of cover for the centre backs?

The best option would be to remove Mourinho rather than let a saga drag out for months. He was as good as sacked once Woodward started making the transfer decisions.

IIRC, De Gea had the second highest number of saves in the league last season (might be slightly off on that, but he definitely ranked highly). As is now well documented at this stage, he's let in 12 goals from the last 16 shots on target this year (including the World Cup).
