Should be sacked tomorrow. Hold out virtually zero hope that he will be.

I'd argue we don't have this. I could accept that description of someone like Moyes or Potter. Not this bloke.

It really is just atrocious. But the people on here who hit you with the "we're not in the relegation zone" point without any context are closer to the clubs thinking than I am.

It'll be us or Wolves joining Southampton and Ipswich. Fair play to Ipswich on today though, I really thought we'd knocked the stuffing out of them last week so to respond with a result like that is impressive. Wolves we'll see if they can actually put any kind of run together. We're similar sides - just both lacking in identity or lots of quality. We're very bland. Biggest also-rans in the league in 2024.

Conceicao.

We offer nothing to this league under this ownership. A nothing side just existing.

Appalling result. It's sackable.

I would if I knew it would. Can't trust these divs though.

It's no wonder this shit gets served up really.

This gets nowhere near enough attention.

Worst United side of my lifetime. 9 goals in 10 league games. We turn up and it's 7 goals in 1.5 games. Utter shit.

Arsenal have become very dour. That result felt completely obvious.

Southampton got screwed far harder against us than Ipswich did.

He's probably made the most impact of any signing in the summer so far to be honest. He's a good player to bring on. I think a lot of the criticism made sense - I maintain we're the only club in Europe who'd have paid as much as we did for him at his age and I don't think he should be starting games, but he's definitely got his uses and he's come up trumps in our two biggest games of the season so far both in injury time. It's hard to knock that really.

He was an absolute mess yesterday. He's very hot and cold.

Him using Maresca's system is proof to me he has no actual plan of his own. He's not got a clue.

Gray isn't a bad comparison in that sense. That's exactly what I fear - he plays himself back into favour and then just serves up what he has done in 90% of games for us. He is infuriating because he does do the odd thing which he looks really good, but it's very infrequent. That was genuinely an excellent bit of play for our goal though.

I'll likely get panned for this but not a good outcome. I think it's a massive paper over the cracks job even if there is the obvious elation of another late goal (which is a good habit to have). Thought we were good for the first 15 and absolutely rancid until their red card. I think they were really poor, lots of hustle and bustle but very little quality and I'll be very surprised if they stay up. It's good to stop Ipswich getting their first win but I don't rate what Cooper's doing, even going back to Maresca's system is to me a sign that he's not really got much of a vision or idea of his own and that he's very much winging it - because I don't attribute what he did today to any sort of good performance. Southampton and Ipswich will go. Then it's us, Wolves or Everton. For me it is probably us - I expect Wolves to change manager soon and have some sort of upturn and I think that'll really decide our fate. I think if we changed manager we'd stay up but I just don't think we're going to until it's too late. We've had two big strokes of fortune in our two biggest games. I don't think it's sustainable. Performances have got to seriously improve with that next six games.

Will give credit where due. Brilliant bit of play for the goal and everything you want to see from him. My fear, however, is that this will play him back into favour and this has been very much the exception.

I'll give us this though - that Bournemouth win has aged very well.

Palace aren't worse than us. Wolves have been, it's us or them IMO.

I think we'll go. It's happening again IMO - bad manager not doing quite badly enough to get the chop while in the long run we're playing at a pretty bad level. Hope I'm wrong but I think it's going to bite us. We've had quite a lot of luck.

Completely agree. Whether people liked Maresca's football (I was a bit tired by the end) I think what you had to give him some credit for was that he saw right through the higher-ups and he was willing to take them on for what would've been to the clubs benefit. Rudkin's luck is just ridiculous that Maresca ends up getting an offer to leave just as soon as it looks like he's really getting somewhere. Notice as well how hardly anybody actually speaks of the higher-ups any more. It's all Cooper. Cooper does need to go but it's a perfect decoy for them.

It never wasn't last season. Just masked by playing in a league we were laughably more resourced in so the wins were always likely to come - in that league through our own ineptness of course. It's hard to get angry anymore. We demonstrated two years ago the single most disgusting incompetence you will ever see and nobody paid a price for it. When their floor is that low I don't know how people expect it to be any different. Cooper is a symptom of the shite above him. Get them out.

Dumb appointment from a dumb club. Cooper out. Rudkin out. Get on with it Top - if you care.
