But in Jose's defence, I do think he's stepping into a situation that's more like the one Ferguson had in the 80s. We're definitely rebuilding almost the entire team in a way that's rare for big clubs these days. Ferguson retiring coincided with nearly all of the main players of his winning team ret...

There are legitimate questions being asked here about the manager, but to get things into proportion: - it took Ferguson 7 years to win the league - in that seven years he only managed to get second place twice - 4 times we finished outside the top 4, including finishing 11th twice and 13th once - ...

I think he’s been good but not great for us so far. There’s still potential for improvement though.

Front 3 have been useless, it's the midfield and Young driving us forward.

Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Young.

Never looks imposing on paper does it?

We'll lump it long to Rash under pressure from their pressing. Gonna be ugly.
