Pep Team conceded less last Season, not because they were outstanding defensively, but because they were almost perfect attacking-wise. How many Shots on Target were recorded against them?

The good News is; Board ain't listening to Mou's wailing anymore. He's bought and made one of the "few" well paid Managers in the World - coz they thought he's indeed a "Special One", but in Slimghost Voice "He's ending up a 'Special Scam' to be candid".

What's the Problem with the present Squad?! Wasn't he the one that asked for Bailly and Lindelof?! Then why asking for more Defenders for God's sake? Even a blind-man knows we need a solid LB, a RB and a RW, but Mou is rather after reinforcing the CB dept - are we going into War?!

I'm not responsible for what you understand.

Our CBs served us dross in 2012/2013 but we could always rely on our attack to bail us out.
So how is Alderweireld and Godin supposed to improve the team better than it already is?? Why add more defenders when defending is obviously not working?

Never said Mourinho shouldn't spend money like City. And if i recall i'm sure i said somewhere that i'd rather have us spend money to get a RW which for some reason is less of a priority than getting two old defenders.

And u ve to understand not everyone is SAF. SAF won the UCL with Oshea, Sylvestre, Anderson, Fletcher. Dominated the league with fûcking Cleverly, Buttner, Smalling, Jones, Fat Anderson, old Scholes, Vidic, Ferdinand, etc.

Why haven't other managers after SAF replicated such feats?

RVP was bought for long term. How well did that work out??

Same SAF focused more on attack than defence and added Kagawa and RVP. So why cant Mourinho do the same and focus on strengthening the attack more than the defence considering he's already bought two defenders that rarely play?

Bar this season, the club has always gotten Mourinho what he wanted and I repeat just because Pep can buy and bin players at will doesn't mean the club ve to support Mourinho the same way.

Isn't Oghene faithful?

Jose Mourinho has managed to court plenty of negativity from Manchester United fans this summer following his downbeat comments during the pre-season. He repeatedly bemoaned the fact he didn’t have more players available to him, largely due to the World Cup, played down the performances of those that were on tour, and gave the impression that he had already conceded the title.

Mourinho refused to be drawn in to discussions about the players he wanted but made it clear he had let Ed Woodward know who we should sign. By and large, Woodward failed to deliver, with the June signings of Fred and Diogo Dallot, and Lee Grant I suppose, the only players to come through the door.

It felt as though Mourinho had already given up without a ball even being kicked. Anthony Martial’s agent has repeatedly claimed the player wants out, with the manager seemingly indifferent, which has irritated those who see the huge potential in the Frenchman. When reports emerged this week suggesting that Barcelona wanted Paul Pogba, and that the player was open to the move, shit really hit the fan for Mourinho as far as lots of supporters were concerned. Some even called for him to be sacked.

However, on transfer deadline day, a series of events has lead to the fans gravitating to Mourinho in regards to where our loyalties lie (not that we were ever on Woodward’s side, but were happy to attribute plenty of the blame to the manager).

Mourinho delivered an impressive press conference where he started to show the fighting spirit we’ve been crying out for. He took a pop at the press, not so subtly, for bigging up Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino for finishing below us and winning nothing, while tearing us apart.

“It’s difficult for me to believe that we finished second,” he said. “When I listen and when I read, which I don’t do a lot, but sometimes I do, it’s difficult to believe that we finished second because you are capable of making people who finished second look like they’ve been relegated. And you’re capable of making people who won nothing and finished below us look like serial winners.”

Mourinho chose not to make a big deal out of the fact the club hadn’t signed the defensive players he wanted and said that people could judge whether his team were titles contenders or not as the season goes on.

“I have my players,” he continued. “I like my players. I like to work with my players… I like my group. I enjoyed the last season’s fight to finish where we did and to manage the best position for the club for the last five years. I’m going to enjoy this season again. I know the words you want me to say. Words for me don’t come easy. I think by the end of November or December you will see which teams are candidates to win the Premier League. In this moment, words are not important. Let’s play football.”

In response, Woodward, in all his wisdom, decided to brief the press with the club’s perspective on where it all went wrong in the transfer window.

The Guardian reported on the club’s reasons for not backing Mourinho in the transfer market. Apparently, the club’s view is that Mourinho has been searching for a short term fix, which would mean the club overpaying for players like Toby Alderweireld. Their take is that the players Mourinho want would cost a lot of money and not improve the team enough to be worth the fee.

With no disrespect intended to Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, who have both contributed in some way to United’s success over the years, they are not the answer to United’s defensive problems. It’s true that United had a great defensive record last season but we can probably agree that David de Gea deserves more credit than anyone else for that. Mourinho sets up his teams defensively, that’s his thing, but his lack of trust in the defence means he is likely to play more defensive tactics than necessary. He’s never going to let the attack go full throttle when that means his defence will be exposed, if he doesn’t have faith that his defe

I'm not trying to get into your argument with Lana, just trying to enlighten you on this issue. Serving doesn't usually tell a person true age range. In camp, I saw men of 30-something years. They're friends of mine in their late 20s in camp. Thus I'd Naija where fir one reason or other, you'll see someone graduating from uni at 27 years. So, is such a person a child? Some have graduated at 26 and had to wait for 4 years due to one issue from school before they'd serve.

Some stay at home looking for admission for over 5 years. How old do you think they'd be by the time they face the long strike in university and then graduate and go for service? Add that fact to the reality that for many medical line graduates, getting internship (which is a system filled with corruption) might take up to 3 years to achieve. When you reliase these things, then NYSC can't really make one a youngin.

larride:


Lana, I am sure you understand what I am trying to say. How can you say Godin or Toby won’t improve the team? Godin is among at least top 10 CB in the world, Toby can be rated at least top 10 CB in the EPL, how can you say they won’t improve the team?

What I am trying to point out with the RVP example was that even SAF bought short term fix to help the squad.

I have been saying it since yesterday that our defenders are one of the reason we tend to defend deep, Smalling and Jones or Lindelof can’t play a high line defence, our only CB that can play a high line I think is Bailey. We can’t play out from the back because our CBs can’t. They are so limited, clumsy, slow and unstable. We can’t play the way you want with our defenders, pressing high up the pitch requires technical defenders that can join attack, those that can hold the ball and pass around, ask yourself, can our CBs do any of those? Is it Smalling that will be passing behind his team mate or Jones that will be caught napping when it matters, we have to be honest with ourselves, as long as we retain this current CB and defenders, we will continue to defend deep because they can’t play a high line and the team will continue to suffer for it.

I hope you understand where I’m coming from.

patrickmuf:
Ed Woodward should have gone all out for a CB before the close of the window, I am not confident with Smalling, Jones and Rojo going into the new season. We should've payed the required price for Alderweireld at least.

I just read that other European teams can buy from England from now till the transfer window shuts even when the English transfer window is shut. Na wa oh!!!
However, English clubs are allowed to sign players on loan from now till Aug 31, so don't be surprise if you see English clubs taking advantage of this loophole just like PSG did with the Mbappe deal...

larride:


Don’t you think our defence will also play a part in the build up play to sustain an attack?

The thing is your analogy is wrong, can your car move if the front tires are okay and the other back tires are flat? There has to be a balance, I don’t think we have flat tires at the front because we really have some good players upfront that can cause damage and I have already stated that we need to change our system, now the thing is that if we won’t stop defending deep, we need better CB than the ones we have, we need CB that can pass out from the back, we don’t need CB that will be booting the ball anywhere belle face whenever they have the ball, our defenders are so prone to errors passing out to the back to DDG doesn’t trust them to pass too, he will rather boot the to Lukaku or Sanchez than pass to his CBs, anytime our CB has the ball, the first thing on the mind is to either pass back to DDG or boot it away, there’s no way you play a high line pressing with those kind of defenders.

We need a system change quite alright and I think Mou has come to realize that since we might be going with 4-3-3 this season, I still maintain that or CBs are the reason we usually defend deep.
