You are an unrepentant Morron...

If you had any sense of humour (or common sense for that matter), you woulda observed that Peeps were mocking Kagawa for the terminology he used (and its irrelevance to the discussion) - not that they didn't understand what he was saying.

I specifically asked Elampiro for a link to a credible source for " Second assist" (since he claimed it to be the football terminology) but in typical fashion, you butted into the convo like a hungry, sexually deprived wildebeest all in a bid to sound knowledgeable.

If we begin rain blows on that Gorimapa head of yours with clubs & sticks now, you go dey scream "EPL conspiracy"

Jerusalem! It is not even ojo jimoh yet, early Monday mormor, una don dey slap apoda ramuzaki like this?

Wingback:
Bailly was an unnecessary signing, A player of smallings caliber wasting on the bench and even TFM.


Oh well...It is what It is.

This post is unnecessary. Bailly has brought out United's defense from its shackles. For once in a long time I can see most of us fans appreciating our defensive decisions. All thanks to Bailly's brilliant contributions. You may as well want spare him some praises.

Personally I don't think United defence was in disarray. I think the nonexistent midfield was the problem. There was so much pressure on the defence because every opposition attack was straight to the defenders bypassing the midfielders easily. But with a dominant and stable midfield comes ease of pressure on the defence.

GBR1:

Exactly. We better hope for this. Mourinho is the closest being to Fergie and if he's gonna stay with for long, there we should expect a lot of success even with longevity unlike Wenger at Arsenal.

Don't expect mourinho to stay more than five years. It's not in his blood to stay that long in a club. But if he does then he must have changed a lot. It's still dependent on the success of the team on the pitch though

Barca is about to loan out munir and sign alcacer for over 30 million euros but if it's mourinho the insults will be flowing like open tap.

Well, I could be wrong to have said that but Bailly has added more vigour to our defence.

You might be right, but I doubt. Where else does Mourinho want to go. He would be bored at Bayern, I don't know if he fancies bbarc and if they would have him when they can easily bring up one of their ex players like they did pep and Enrique. Madrid is the other option I feel he can go, but again how many times.

I felt Mourinho wanted united more than united wanted Jose and I feel he is very happy with his job at the moment and like you said If he finds good success on the pitch.i think it will be hard for him to go somewhere else.

He could try to beat Fergies record though .

Anyway this is football, anything can happen.

I bin dey hear good things about this Munir guy has the season start,make Moyes grab this guy quick.

José Mourinho is here to stay for long!
As far as Mourinho is enjoying a good relationship with the Board, Players and the Fans..... he will definitely end his career at the Club!

SIRcumalot:

was surprised when I read he would be loaned out. By the way he is going to valencia to replace alcacer if the move is made tho as loan

elampiro:
If Van Gaal were the coach, the match would have still ended one - nil.









At 60th minute, Shaw would have gone out, and Rojo in.












At 81st minute, Schweinsteiger would have come in for Fellaini.











And Hull would have scored a late winner from a set play aimed at the position of Blind/Rojo, where a Hull player would comfortably jump to head in








Then Gaal Introduces Mephis who even loses possession. And Hull City easily see out the rest of the match.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Hahah. Elampiro trolling Diadem's model.
The man's subs get me angry and confused that I wish he doesn't even do any. How can a coach that needs winning waste his sub by changing defender for defender, DM for DM

Goal.com own just tire me. I've forgotten the match we were losing last season that even at just halftime goal had already released an article lambasting us.

Then one of their journalists released an article saying Pogba's fee is an insult to humanity.

Very useless, agenda driven site with fake transfer rumours all over their page.

Lol. I swear no be lie.
After the match i couldn't stop thinking of how we would ve lost the match to some unfortunate counter after LVG would ve subbed Herrera for Mata, Jones for Bailly and Darmian for Valencia.
Very stupîd and outrageous substitutions wey fit make persin run mad

Don't even know how to answer this nonsense.

Daley Blind is not often the centre of attention at Manchester United. He rarely wins awards, he isn't showered in praise and his name is seldom splashed across the sporting headlines, yet the Dutchman remains an indispensable member of the team and Jose Mourinho’s plans.

It was Eric Bailly who collected a third Man of the Match award of the season at Hull City on Saturday and the Ivory Coast international deserved it, following an impressive and authoritative display in rain-soaked Hull. But his fellow centre-back could easily have taken home the prize.

Blind was also excellent at the KCOM Stadium where he maintained his fine start to the first campaign under Mourinho, keeping the hosts' striker Abel Hernandez at bay and playing a key role in what became a dramatic 1-0 win. He was later among MUTV's three nominees for the star-man poll and earned 21 per cent of votes cast by followers of @ManUtd on Twitter, while Bailly triumphed with 64 per cent.

Missing out on Saturday's Man of the Match award will not have given Daley a sleepless night, in fact he may not even have been aware of the result, but it feels worthwhile to highlight the Dutchman's influence on the result in a season that has so far been dominated by summer signings and emerging talents.

Blind’s intelligent performances at centre-back are perfectly complimenting the more combative approach of Bailly, forming a silk-and-steel partnership that is pivotal to United currently boasting the Premier League’s meanest defensive record with just one goal conceded from three matches played.

Theirs is a perfect blend. Blind uses street smarts as a weapon of choice when other players in his position lead with their imposing height or electric pace; he reads football like we read words, only much quicker and more intelligently. Bailly more commonly deploys his physical and athletic attributes, out-muscling and out-running the opposition. There’s something gloriously old-school about him; he’s an evolution of the classic Premier League defender.

Another interesting sub-plot to their relationship is the advisory role that Blind, 26, has adopted for his much younger team-mate, given that Bailly arrived at United in the summer with only 52 senior appearances to his name for previous clubs Villarreal and Espanyol. Daley tallied 56 outings in 2015/16 alone and you cannot underestimate the experience that he can share - even if the pair do not share a common language! 

One imagines they’d be perfect at the old good cop, bad cop routine. Daley would offer a cup of coffee and a phone call home, using subtler methods of persuasion to glean a confession, while Eric might manhandle the accused and throw said coffee cup at the wall. In the end, they'd always get their man.

Indeed, this flourishing relationship at centre-back has caught many supporters by surprise, namely because Chris Smalling was so outstanding in the starting XI throughout last season and even came close to winning David De Gea’s Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award. But the England international’s suspension for the opening-day win at Bournemouth appears to have cost him his place, in the short-term at least, with the manager now reluctant to separate his two in-form defenders.

While very few predicted the successful partnership of Blind and Bailly, history shows it is comparable with the contrasting styles that have traditionally mixed so well at Old Trafford. They’re a little like Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister in the 1990s, Treble-winners Ronny Johnsen and Jaap Stam in 1999, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand in the 2000s, or even Smalling and Blind last season. Each had different ingredients and qualities, but they came together to form a potent cocktail of defensive strength.

Blind’s importance to the team will be further highlighted after the international break when he is expected to start the Manchester derby, tasked with extinguishing the fire of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in what is surely English football's biggest contest this season. It will be another test of quality and one that examines the true strength of his alliance with Bailly, as well as his own place in the XI. 

There's evidence to suggest our no.17 will rise to the challenge. After all, he's the man that disproved critics at Ajax who claimed his starting place was indebted to his famous father, Danny. He's the man who started 55 games at centre-back last season in spite of pundits claiming it wasn't his position, and the same man who has usurped Smalling this campaign amid media speculation that he might even depart. 

Yes, the season is young and it remains to be seen whether he will finish it as Mourinho's first choice, yet Blind has proven to be an invaluable member of the squad. He deserves all the praise and recognition that comes his way.
