How is it the managers fault they are playing badly, so he is also the cos of Rooneys poor performance abi. The problem is his stupid tactics

The common sense today would have been to control the game with passes. But Mourinho didn't pass that instruction. The times we kept the ball on the ground, we had upper hand.

Anyways, its still early days. Right?? By the time we reach 10 games, i hope it will still be early in the season.

Until then, lets be happy we beat Hull and Southampton!

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 7:44pm On Sep 18, 2016

Everybody was out of sorts today.
Zlatan still thinks he's Ligue 1.

Rooney getting dispossessed as usual while he cant even get his corners and set pieces past the first defender. Whether he plays or not, he first step to solving our problems includes getting this slow, obese bástard off the starting 11. Until then, nothing ll change..

Young still as brainless as ever. Nigga kept smashing his crosses into the full back.

Pogba nko?? At least if that one is gon shoot, he should endeavor to aim for the post and not the stands. TF?? Still prefer Matuidi!

Shaw, still a baller. Him and Rashford are still our stand out players so far this season.

Bailly and Smalling Partnership still solid enough. We were simply let down by our midfield for the first two goals.

Pataki:
Sinizia, StarBoard, codedguy, see as all of them disappear.

dmcdad:

Sinizia the gif master just dey disappear these days. Even Abijah of those days for Yoruba movies no disappear reach am now.

You're wrong, bros. NO United loss can make me disappear. I've walked with my head held high from Moyes till this day no matter the gale of defeats that's been serenading us since SAF left. The most painful United loss to me was the second UCL final loss to Barca, and the next day I still went out with no shame. So I've seen worst losses than Watford's. I haven't been online since Friday, so I didn't disappear.

That said, I didn't watch the match coz of a wedding I attended and I'm glad I didn't, seeing all the wailing on this thread. I'm not surprised though, I saw it coming and warned about it after our last performance.

I can't apportion blame on anyone coz I didn't watch it. I don't how we played. As for Mourinho, I won't let out my fangs yet. I gave Moyes till February and Gaal, until second season before wanting them out. I'll keep supporting Mourinho till first half of this season is over then I'll know if I can criticize him and pray for his sack.

I saw Pogba coming in for some criticisms today and I can't help but laugh. When I said Pogba was the most overhyped player during the summer, people thought I was hating on him. When I wished for Kante/Matuidi purchase or Kante/Medelpurchase, someone mocked me, giving me Pogba's assists and goals stats of last season. What the person failed to understand is that we're buying Pogba as A DM not a CM or AM. And Pogba alacks ALL the quality of DM. He's not strong, he has no pace, he's lacks positional discipline, he doesn't protect the defense. He's not even creative. He's just clueless.

Pogba's greatest fault is LACK OF POSITIONAL DISCIPLINE. Take a look at Busquet, Busquet is not the best DM in the world or your normal DM. He's not brutal like most DMs are known to be but he's been a success at Barca coz mostly one quality - POSITIONAL DISCIPLINE. Busquet doesn't wander too much from his position. He doesnt act like Pogba and wander to the wings or attack all the time or try to show off and dribble. He does a simple but effective job - whenever MSN or Barca's wingers are pressurizing their opponents and mistakenly one of them slips out of their marking, Busquet notices the loose canon and moves quickly to snuff out the threat. Once he does that, he passes to the ball to the likes of Xavi and co so they can wreck havoc while he relaxes and wait for the next loose canon. He keeps it simple but it's effective. Pogba never does this in his matches I've seen so far. He wanders a lot, away from his position leaving the defenders and Fellani to suffer. This is why I preferred Kante. He protects the defense very well. We need to stop thinking assists and goals are the hallmark of DMs. Makele has a mediocre goal and assist stats, yet the DM position is named after him. Fûck the assists, Bleep the dribble, Bleep the fame and price tag on his name, Pogba needs to calm down and protect the defense only. Leave the goal to our wingers and attackers. Let him stop the exhibitions he's displaying and get physical and dirty. Medel of Chile does this effectively. That beast is a pitbull who plays with brute force and that's what we need, not some new haircuts donning clown acting like the next Vieira but not better than Olofinjana. Nonsense!!

Anyway, I'm not panicking. This is the 5th match. If Mourinho acts fast and grow some balls, he can turn it around or watch as he booted out while the players he's protecting will remain.

We are not a top team. We cannot afford to pay £89million for hair styles just to lose thrice in a row.

It's a waste of money then coz he's also useless as a B2B. He lacks what it takes to be a B2B. I prefer he sits his ass in the DM (where Mourinho places him in his formation) and protect our defense. Let him leave the attack for our wingers, attack and AMs.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MrTA(m): 8:14pm On Sep 18, 2016

Well we should be panicking. At this rate we'll be lucky to finish 7th. There is nothing to suggest Jose has made any sort of impact in this team.
I'm surprised you guys arent getting a sense of dejavu when watching the team. Its all so pedestrian. Only difference between this Jose team and LvG's is that we're not playing pointless and aimless passes.

The midfield and attack still lacks pace and mobility very badly. This was never addressed.

Seems we also bought Pogba without knowing what he's good at. Never playing in a midfield 2. Never.
I wont go on and on again about Rooney. I said it before, as long as we continue to shoehorn him into the team, we'll never do anything. We simply wont finish in the top 4 this year.I'll take a bet with anyone on this right now. If Rooney continues in the team as it is, we will not finish in the top 4.

It also wont be fair to blame it all on Rooney. Jose is the main person at fault. He hasnt imposed any style of play on the team and he doesnt know what his best 11 is.

The team doesnt have the legs to press. We simply do not press teams then wonder why we cant dominate games.

If you guys are hoping we'll magically become awesome then you're in for a shock.

Mou never played Pogba as a DM. Fellaini is the DM in Jose's plan. It was a waste of money but since it didn't set the club back financially that's none of my business. Even if it does still none of my business. Our team only lacked a B2B midfielder and a creative midfielder so when PoorBarb and Miki were bought I was excited because key areas have been addressed. If the coach can't get them to dominate and win matches it's his fault. We have arguably the most comprehensive team in the league. Get them to put the ball down and press all over the pitch and we'll be fine.

If Mourinho expects Fellani to man our DM alone, then he's an idiot. How many top teams play one DM only? The sluggish Fellani to accurately man our DM? SMH.

Anyway, I don't think anybody Mourinho buys will solve our midfield problem unless Mourinho has an actual tactic to go with it. he's clueless right now. Man City are playing well coz Pep has instilled in them his personal tactics, same as Loserfool. Mourinho has simply continued Gail's legacy nothing new added.

afrodoc2:
Those guys that were in support of the Pogba world record signing can now see what others felt. That money spent on Pogba could have solved all our midfield problems if spent with football and not hype in mind. Now the midfield problem is still as huge as before we spent 90m pounds.
What is the point of spending all that money to spit in the face of Madrid if it means clubs like Watford and Feyenoord would in turn spit in our face?

The deed has been done though so the manager has to find a team that best showcases the abilities of the 90m pound white elephant in the room....Pogba
I would suggest a 4-3-3 with Carrick as holding. something like this

-----------------------DE GEA-------------------------
---VALENCIA------BAILLY-----BLIND-------SHAW-------

--------------------CARRICK-----------------------

----------FELLAINI---------POGBA---------------------

--RASHFORD------ZLATAN---------------MARTIAL-------

This line-up strong gan. It covers the main areas in the midfield, atleast as regards the three main midfield players; a passer, marker, and a runner/box to box. We have a lot of options in the midfield, but they all seem almost bang average.

For a midfield three, these are better options.. ........

A passer---Carrick/Blind(if he won't be played as a defender)

A marker---Schneiderlin/Fellaini

Runner---Pogba/Herrera.

These guys should do the job. Or what do you think?

Which team has 2 DM in a match at the same time? Unless they're trying to see out a lead. Have you watched Fellaini play this season at all or you just don't like him? You're not being fair to him because he has been our most consistent player so far. Dude has been doing the job of two men in the middle. Poorgba has been poor accept that and don't put it on Fellaini.

Meanwhile I agree with you that Jose is tacticsless

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Danhumprey: 8:39pm On Sep 18, 2016

If Mourinho still can't see clearly that Rooney is finished, I don't know what else to say.

He is a horrible waste of valuable space!

And for God's sake, when will Mourinho play Carrick?

I'm not blaming Fellani. Read again. I'm blaming Mourinho for using Fellani as our only DM. He's been fantastic for us but he can't do the DM job alone coz of Poor Pogba. That's why I never wanted Pogba coz he doesn't know his position. He leaves Fellani with excessive load to carry coz he's always out of position.

Mourinho has no tactics whatsoever for now. Give Mourinho Man City and he'd probably bench KDB and play 3 defensive midfielders. grin

You saying we should have got Pep, do you know when City contacted him for the coaching job? They have been in contact with him long before the news became public. More so, two of City's directors of sport were/are close friends of Pep right from his time at Barca, and they were the ones who persuaded him to sign for City. There is little we have done to get him, as it was City had the upper hand.

So, I'd advise you to move on from that disappointment and try supporting Mourinho to succeed for the sake of the club.

Repeatedly crying over the inability of the club to get Pep is absolutely senseless.
