raumdeuter: Lol, Dinho was one of the best to do it, no senseless dribbling or one corner dancing. Dribble and pass thru to goal, dribble and score. Pass accuracy - Legit Ball distribution - legit Set Piece - Legit Wonder goals - Legit He didn't need to be banging goals like a striker for him to be crowned "world best". His match performances were visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. Who no claim Ronaldinho for street that year 2 Likes |

raumdeuter: Its like you didn't read what I even wrote, my point is that dribbles leading to goals and assist does not mean that the dribbler must be the person to supply the final assist, a lot of things happen before then... If you get time, check how many dribbles Ronaldinho get for him career and how many result to direct assist or goal. |

closerange: A lot of Ronaldinhos dribbles resulted directly into goals and assists, I have given you those in high profile games I can remember like the world cup, CL big games vs Milan, Hazard dribbles most of them time results to nothing, He just dribbles to enjoy himself just like Okocha Quaresma etc. That is why he is topping takeon chart but hardly topping the assist charts Hazard will be running with the ball, see open space, but he will break so that the defenders can recover and he will take time to dribble them all over again |

"They got so many points with Tony [Pulis] in the big matches. I think Tony assembled a very good squad, lots of experienced players, physical players who adapted to the Premier League, with know-how, lots of experience I repeat. "So the squad is good, the players are good, the stadium is enthusiastic, the match is difficult." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"We are second, the number of points could be first in other seasons, yes, but we are second. "This is where we are. Not first, not third, we are second and, as I have been saying, match after match, one match at a time and let's see at the end of the season how many points and where we are." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"I knew that was not going to be an easy job. I had that experience before. You go to clubs with a huge history where people look to the history and not to the moment and the expectations are high, but the job is difficult. But I have had that experience before at other clubs, so [it is] nothing new for me." - JOSE MOURINHO |

“Bailly goes to surgery – the decision is made. I don’t say [he’s out] for the rest of the season but it’s for the next two or three months. “But now we have [Phil] Jones back and we have [Chris] Smalling, even [Daley] Blind, so it’s a position we have good cover in but of course we’ll miss the player.” - JOSE MOURINHO |

So all of a sudden we can't do without Pogba Yes, he has improved compared to last season but it's high time we start playing without a star man. This utd team should be built around at least 6-8 players & not Mou heavily relying on Pogba every now & then. |

LongD: that's one of the factors I've been hammering on this season,not pet say pogba is our all and all,but that's the difference a quality player gives you..imagine if maybe,just maybe he played against Liverpool,Chelsea,and man city..things might have turned out differently |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 7:13pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
ctuagent007: bro the reason y its like that is because he's d only quality outfield player we have,we need more quality for this kind of things |

dubylhover: Pogba seems to be given free role in the team. But others must have some sort of defensive role, even our CF don turn defensive striker. Pogba is a very good player and will express him self when given the chance even with a little showboating. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 8:44pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
codedguy1: all this talk about being defensive,its mostly against the big sides and besides mou is known for giving his attackers freedom to roam about,so pogba flourishing well isn't just because of his freedom,id that same freedom is given to Herrera or fellaini,it wont make a difference. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 9:01pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
dubylhover: I agree with your assertion about Herrera and Fellaini I would rather more emphasis on attack be put on the likes of Martial and Rashford because I hate it when I here an attacking player was dropped or benched because he does not defend enough or failed to fall back to help the defense. Why would Mourinho ALWAYS want to defend against top clubs. WTF is that all about. He still doesn't really attack against the so called smaller clubs. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 9:09pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
codedguy1: in all fairness,gas mou actually dropped Actually attacker this season because they didn't defend well? I don't think so.. and as for mou always defending against d top teams,I guess that's who he has always been,and why its more glaring in Manu is that he lacks d attackers and quality to kill games on the counter,so I guess he doesn't trust his players enough...honestly I also don't |

raumdeuter: I decided to leave you and not respond again. But let me point out to you that the quality of strikers and forward players you have determine how many Assists you can have. If you play with Di Lima or Messi or Ronaldo or Raul or Inzaghi or Henry or Shearer, you would have many Assists. For instance, someone who had De Lima and Rivaldo as team mates would Assists more than one who has Lukaku and a forward like Mkhitaryan. Nevertheless, as I said before, Ronaldinho didn’t have high games/assits ratio compared to many WF, FW, LF, RF, etc. He didn’t top Assists chart (among 5 European league) in any season when you add league+UCL Assists together. Ashley Young who didn't play UCL and with average team mates was able to top the chart once, and came second another season. Ronaldinho was known for his dribbling not Assists. You are becoming a 'sinner' on top of this Hazard matter. I will be glad to have Hazard in my team. He has effective forward dribbling and has bailed Chelsea out many times with his consistent way of mounting pressure on oppositions. Repent o. |

^^I don't quite agree. We have been ruthless enough on the counters so far this season as long as the ball out of midfield is a quality pass. The problem is that the agents that deliver that quality ball from behind is not enough. I can't stress the importance of Pogba in this team any more than I've done & his contribution was clear enough even with all the tantrums thrown his way last season; which brings me to a conclusion that we have better equipped attackers this season than the last. Hererra & Matic are good players, 7/10 of the time they perform optimally but this team is looking more & more like a one-man team I'm afraid. Jose should look to improve the creative quality in the midfield by January. As for those criticizing Mourinho, y'all should not forget that we have never been in 2nd position after a couple of games since SAF retired, & that was 4 years ago to date. Let us see what this season brings in terms of silverware. The progress may be slow or crooked but it's there & counting, it's a fact nobody can deny for now. 3 Likes 1 Share |

elampiro: Hazard has played with Etoo, Drogba Torres, Costa Ba Morata Lukaku at some place or the other so who are the strikers who Hazard should play with There are layers in the same team Hazard plays that top assist charts, e.g Fabregas Hazard is a unproductive, I will only be glad to have Hazard in my team if I have a coach who can teach him how to be productive, if he wants to come and play one corner hopeless dribble like Okocha, I dont want On Ronaldinho, his dribbles were always purposeful, see the clips I showed how he cribbled to create space for assist or shot not just roundabout like Pius Ikedia 1 Like |

During an analysis session, Mkhitaryan called Jose 'olodo' so Jose kicked him out the door into the corridors . Seems Jose isn't done with his childish attitude. |

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is battling to save his
Manchester United career after being dropped by
Jose Mourinho following a row between the two
men during a video analysis session at the club's
Carrington training ground last month, sources
have told ESPN FC.
Mkhitaryan, 28, has been absent from seven of
United's last eight matchday squads and sources
at Old Trafford have confirmed that the former
Borussia Dortmund midfielder angered Mourinho
by disagreeing with the manager's assessment
of his contribution during a substitute
appearance against Brighton on Nov. 25.
Mourinho was unhappy with Mkhitaryan's
defensive work rate and a mistake made by the
player, singling the Armenian international out
for criticism in front of the rest of the first-team
squad.
Mkhitaryan responded to his manager's remarks,
with the player continuing to debate Mourinho's
assessment of his performance in the corridor
outside the analysis suite at Carrington.
Sources told ESPN FC in September that
Mourinho was unhappy with Mkhitaryan's
contribution against United's top-six rivals, but
the player appeared to have overcome his
manager's reservations by making an impressive
start to the season with two goals and five
assists in all competitions.
However, Mourinho was unimpressed by
Mkhitaryan's performance against Chelsea at
Stamford Bridge at the beginning of November
and has not selected him to start since.
When asked on Wednesday why Mkhitaryan had
not been in his plans recently, Mourinho said: "I
can only have six [outfield] players on the bench
and I try to have some balance on the bench -- I
had two defenders and [Daley] Blind who can
play in different areas. I had Ashley Young to
cover me all of the wing and the wing-back
position.
"I had [Ander] Herrera as a midfield player,
Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] as a striker and Marcus
[Rashford] as a second striker and winger. I
played [Anthony] Martial, [Juan] Mata and
[Jesse] Lingard in the team. To have Micki
means that I don't have one of them and, in this
moment, I believe the other ones they deserve
[the chance to play]."
Inter Milan are keen to sign Mkhitaryan, who
signed for United in July 2016, and could offer
Portugal midfielder Joao Mario in an effort to
negotiate a deal when the transfer window opens
next month. |
