De Gea still is mostly brilliant, but he's had some pretty poor goals conceded this year too.

Wow. That was some horrible defending by Arsenal after the free kick.

Herrera looked offside. Either way United have been behind in the majority of all their recent games, yet rather than let Mourinho die, they save him. Truly bizarre, I can't imagine they actually like playing for him.

More hard tackles than a CFL game.

Arsenal have had an old school kinda week, testy derby against Spurs, testy match against United. Certainly have more edge than the recent Wenger teams ever did.

Its like he enjoys torturing the fans by forcing them to watch their team get bossed at home.

I'm sure if it was up to him he'd raise ticket prices just for the lulz.

Is Mourinho the ultimate Troll? He might be.

Everton have also sacked multiple underachieving managers in only a couple years...

I know. Because Mourinho has been having to over-achieve on a pauper's budget.

Has nothing to do with the fact that hes been given oodles of cash that hes spent on players he hates.

have to say I was impressed by Arsenals midfield at times today. Guendouzi is raw, but has a ton of upside ... good performance by him. Torreira's not bad either.

Nice! Well done United!

United, Arsenal and Chelsea all lost ground! Overall a pretty good day.

They are 8 pts back of 4th now, they do have an easyish schedule from now until the new year

Liverpool
Bournemouth

And 3 of the bottom 5 in fulham, huddersfield, and cardiff

If they are somehow like 10-12 points back in january they have to do something no?

Or did moyes year set the precedent and they dont do anything till mathematically done, seems like it would just be wasting a year, if its not working with jose, the talent is there, bring in a new coach and catch lightning in a bottle and they could makeup 15 points in 4 months possibly

that's the fear. They should have made the switch a while ago, but hey - if a negative GD and 8th place is acceptable to the board ...

Waiting until April will apparently cost United £15 million less to fire Mourinho then it would right now. Always about money of course.

If thats what they are basing the decision on its insane

Firstly they print money

Second, if they think a new manager adds to their chances of CL qualifying, group stages are worth like 40 million i believe now, plus match bonuses for winning
