The attacking play is very poor; it's disjointed and the team resorted to hoofball again. This United doesn't create enough chances. It's not good enough.
The issues with the attacking play has little to do with Moyes and Van Gaal. Mourinho has been the manager for over two years. The likes of Bielsa at Leeds and Sarri at Chelsea have had an immediate impact on the style of play.

Well he inherited almost no attack when he joined.
Rooney was finished
Martial & Rashford were teenagers
Depay had thrown the towel in
Mata never really fit his style hence why he sold him
He/the club have bought in a few players to solve this Zlatan, Mhiki, Lukaku, Sanchez but 2 have already left for different reason.
Sarri really hasn’t changed that attack much it was a functioning attack that relies on the brilliance of Hazard he’s on his game currently so he’s making them look great. We hoped Sanchez would be that guy as he’s got the quality but he just isn’t performing anything like Hazard is currently.
Couldn't agree more. Thing is... Jose was never going to be the right man to fix the attack. And in this day and age its all about attacking play. Look at the top teams around Europe. Real, Barca, Juve to an extent, City, PSG, Liverpool. They are all attack first teams because that's how the game is right now.
Do you take more glee from United dropping points or winning now days?
The quality of football in Mourinho's first season was the best we've seen during his tenure.
Sarri has had an immediate impact on Chelsea. Chelsea look like a team with a plan. Carragher analysed Sarri's impact on MNF: Chelsea’s change of style under Maurizio Sarri examined
An honest one. It was a genuine question based on your posts.
I'm sick to death of thinking about the many, many issues and what is wrong with us. I've decided that it's 50% the players and 50% Jose's fault and a change of manager is now needed at the end of the season as this situation can'not go on. We have a board appearing not to back Jose, a manger who doesn't seem to be able to get us to play and a star player in conflict with the manager. It's time for a change.

If you think changing the manager for the 3rd time in 5 years is going to solve anything you are mistaken. We'll be changing manager again in two years if we carry on doing that.
The problem is much deeper than that.
You're talking about one of the most successful managers in football, who has won everything in multiple leagues. He won the prem not so long ago. You may not like his football, but can't doubt his pedigree.
The best news I could hear is the club has been sold, or at least Woodward has been sacked.
You are way to negative for me to take you serioudly, nothing has any strength to it other than you want Jose out
To be honest I haven't really properly worked out how to feel. I feel sorry for the team and I want us to do well but I end up finding that we are only ever one game away from another disappointing performance. I dream of seeing the same set of players explode into life under a different manager , but I hate seeing the long , drawn out process that we will have to go through before he gets sacked. Defeats are like how a dentists drill feels. It's not a gleeful thing at all but I'm glad its happening because it's for the best if I don't want to end up with an absyss.
I would prefer that United fans and the chairman would see sense and do the inevitable , but unfortunately I'm left with the ugly , hard to palate option of not hating defeats as much as I used to because at least they will hasten a possible new dawn. The only real exception to this will be the Liverpool / City matches of course. Honest enough for you?
I'm not anti Jose like others are, I just think there needs to be some change. BUT if we have a look at the end of the season and there isn't anyone out there better I'd rather stick than twist. The new man HAS to fit Utd, not the other way round.
I don't think many fans are happy with the football, the point is, throwing the manager out is not going to fix it, we have tried that.
We have been outplayed by Leicester, Wolves and Derby at OT this season so far.
It makes you wonder how many more lesser teams giving us football lessons it will take before we all figure out that it's just not happening and it probably never will under this guy. Teams are starting to come to OT and not feel nervous. They are almost relishing it.
How many more games like this will it take. 3 seasons and he still can't create the chemistry needed.
I am sorry mate but although the stats might say we were the better team the eyes didn't. Their passing and movement was much slicker than ours.How in the hell were we outplayed by Wolves? We had 65% possession, more shots, more corners, more passes, the territorial advantage a higher pass completion rate and in the final third. A higher dribble percentage rate. In fact there isn't a single statistical measure that says we were out played by Wolves. We were the better side and I know people love revisionism on this forum but fcol they hit us on the counter when we were going for a second. You lot are the same god damn people that got fed up with us sitting on a 1-0 lead.
