#1 Jose Mourinho needs to get the hairdryer out

Bristol City v Manchester United - Carabao Cup Quarter-Final
A laugh of disbelief? Looks like Jose Mourinho can't quite believe what he is witnessing

Oh God, the casualness. I have touched upon this earlier, but I honestly feel I haven't done justice to the sheer wastefulness of United's front-men (bar Lukaku) in this game.

United's players let their manager down for the second game running - this one far important than the Carabao Cup tie in the larger context - and it will take all of Jose Mourinho's considerable talent to get this bunch to keep at it till the final stretch this season.

If anything, he'd do great to pull a leaf out of Sir Alex Ferguson's book and throw the goddamn hairdryer at a bunch of players that are suddenly, inexplicably, taking it all too easy.

There's great potential in this United team - and Mourinho is the right man to realise it - but he needs his players to start helping him out... and he needs them to do it right now.
