postdigger making my day going very well. Keep them coming postdigger.

Some clearly said better. It was Raumdeuter who started it by saying that Mourinho inherited a better team. I was surprised when some United fans supported him. Except may be those are not United fans because many change their moniker every time making it hard to identify certain people. But at least I know I still recognize some United fans who have kept their moniker or have not changed too frequently. Some are recognized from their posts history.

Dayo will always support Pep over Mou and it's normal for him to post that.

That said, a look at Pep first team shows he changed the entire back 4 + keeper, and the only remaining starting attacker is Aguero I think. He got Sane, Silva, Mahrez, Sterling, Jesus.

So it's even logical to say at time of resumption, Mourinho had a younger team which some can interpret for better.

I think thorvick or something is still searching for it

Its been just over 48 hours since i started d search for city's champions league semifinal or final match result since pep joined... Im very optimistic about it, hopefully b4 christmas i'll find it...

Herrera played for Bilbao before we signed and he was a key member of that team that eliminated us at the Uefa cup Seco d or quarter final stage.
Matic left Chelsea, went to Benfica and did big things, he came back to Chelsea and won the EPL playing a starring role.
What exactly has Keita achieved or done in the big stage?
Fabinho, what has he on Herrera or Matic?

If that’s the case, we shouldn’t have sacked Mou then since he can look back to his incredible CV. I will chose Keita over the aged slow Matic and Spanish Cleverly

What do you think about the Greenwood lad ?

Cc: Afrodoc2

One has to be cautious when judging youth team players because you never can tell which of them will lose motivation after that first big contract e.g Macheda, Januzaj or which one will have off the field issues e.g Ravel Morrison.

Having said that Greenwood is the best player in the academy/reserves system. Better than Chong and much better than Gomes.
I would rate them in descending order Greenwood, Chong, Gomes.

On redcafe the day before Mourinho was sacked someone said his dream was for Mourinho to be sacked before Greenwood made his debut, so as to prevent Mourinho from wrecking his career. I suspect it was Ed Woodward in disguise, lol.

Our midfield is 2nd only to city's, Herrera is top 5 in the world at winning the ball back,Matic is top 3 Dm in the PL, and pogba is the best CM in the league. and I am not patrickmuf biggest fan. we also have mata who is a better passer and set piece specialist, not to mention fred and Fellaini who also has his uses, midfield was never our problem under J.M, our defense was.

Weed na terrible thing!!

Weed

Herrera is top what??

Keita plays the Pogba role, compare him to Pogba.
Matic/Herrera should be compared to Fabinho/Hendo.
Fred should be compared with Wijnaldum...

The main reason I am all for the sack of Mourinho over replacing the underperforming players is that with Mou, it's not the fist time in his career we're seeing him fallout with his players while in the other hand, away from the club, most of this players are performing well for their respective countries just as others were doing great before he arrived or at their previous clubs.

I checked him up couple of days ago, dude looks assured on the ball and is very pacey, he just needs to improved his finishing...Gomes, Greenwood and Chong are the future... Sup, with Tuanzebe?

Otamendi who has played a big role in stabilizing City defence and ensure a transition from Kompany to the current was not bought by Guardiola. Stones deal was advanced before the arrival of Guardiola.

I remember, my argument was clear and same, City core players were still sharp to ensure a transition to Guardiola. Aguero, Silva, Fernadino, Otamendi, Kevin De Bruyne etc. Kompany could still offer a solid one year at the time. Sterling was there.

You cannot argue we had a better team than City which won the league and finished fourth in UCL at a time we were struggling to finish in between 4th & 6th in the league.

Finishing? Right now Greenwood's finishing is better than anybody in the senior team. He finishes with right foot and left from outside the box.
He is mainly left footed but sometimes takes set pieces with right.

Technically he really does not have a significant weakness. What he has to work on is his strength rather and get better generally. I would not identify finishing as the one thing he has to work on.

Tuanzebe has been very impressive playing CB for Aston Villa in the championship this season. I hope they let him finish the season there, and next season he replaces Jones/Rojo.

Thanks for the update, I was not looking at the first team when I talked about his finishing, I was just assessing his overall game, of course he need to work on his strength.

I have high hopes for Tuanzebe, I hope he replaces Jones next season.

Fosu-Mensah and Axel back (in our present situation) would be a comparable to a splash of crystal clear water from the everglades to a sojourner in the Atacama. It would be awesome to have center backs that can aid with actual ball distribution and not the P.T Barnum circus clowns we've got masquerading as CB's at the back.


Mason looks really good for his age group. Love the touch, fluid languid movement and build up play. He plays the United way—keep it moving and never stop running at the opponent until they cower into submission. We'd do well to keep him, Tahith and Angel developing within the same unit while being tested against much more challenging opposition naturally.


Can't wait to see our first game under Ole. Hoping the players put in a decent shift with no spectating.

I am not so sure about Fosu-Mensah. His athleticism interfered with his football education , and being used at DM, RB, CB did him no favours.
He is still a bit too rash and as a result injury prone for my liking. I think only one of Tuanzebe and TFM will make it here and it is very possible neither of them will.

The major hopes are on those 3 attacking talents coming up. Luckily they can all play together at the same time, so one making the team does not stop the other from making it.
If somehow Greenwood, Chong, and Gomes all fail then i will know something is really wrong with the coaching in the Academy/Reserves.

Otamendi was almost a sort of disaster during Pep' first year. Look at how improved he is now. Stones was mocked too. Look at their improvement and compare with the ones we had other Mourinho, for example, Jones. Any improvement?

Aguero was on his way out of the club. Only Silva, KDB and Fernadinho I can say were still sharp from before Pep.

I thought we were struggling because of LVG?

Otamendi was a disaster in his first season just like Vidic and Evra were. It didn't mean a Otamendi was not very good. Aguero has been the most consistent striker in EPL since he arrived. You always count on him, although injury limits his games below 30. But on goals per minutes played he is the best. Your excuse no hold water.

Sterling was a superhuman in Liverpool.

You cannot compare the 7 players I mentioned with our kidergaten players who were still being breast fed.

You just cannot compare a team that finished UCL semi final losing 0-1 on aggregate to Madrid, to a team which finished 5th in the league.

Sterling superhuman? Seriously? Is this how you rate players?

Ederson
Walker
LaPorte
Stones
Mendy
Delph
Guodogan
Mahrez
Jesus
Sane
Bernardo
Sterling

That's 12 players Pep bought that will start for Pep and he will have a very competitive team. He has had to do without Kompany, KDB, Silva, Aguero at some point for a short or long stretch and the team played very well. I'm not even talking about the result, but that they played very well

Now let's see what Mourinho did with his money?

Elxandre:

Pep would have used 3 years to get to a start at United.

Don't forget he met a devastating squad at Bayern, and he arguably left them a bit worse off as they could no longer beat any of La Liga's top three.

For now, Pep's tactical skills might still be overrated.

OK afternoon shift

dubylhover:


before you start regretting,lets see what pep would do in city that needs rebuilding,not just a team full of established stars

Raumdeuter now that Pep has done something with the city squad, this one will come back and say he never saw City as a team that needed rebuilding

Greenwood clearly has his future laid out for him. The lad is talented and athletic- he's got pace and pawa. He's not afraid to m,ove forward alone neither does he shyaway from taking defenders on. I especially like his ability to use his right foot as if its0his natural foot.I think his finishing is his best asset tho.

However, like you said, it's hard to discern if a youth player will make it in the senior team. I'm certain Greenwood will do well if he isn't thrust into the limelight with lots of pressure on his back. He seem like a kid who enjoys playing football. The pressure might affect him. If we've got two good strikers who are doing well, then his introduction won't put much pressure on him.

With Mou, he's got no chance to develop or be successful here but that's changed now. He still needs a lot of m,mentoring to navigate the waters of pro football at the highest level.

lekkie073:
what has poch proven to warrant a better candidate than Jose mourinho? no elite team in d world will pick poch or koeman over Jose ...even lvg will be chosen ahead of poch in any success-seeking club

You are right and that's y u hired and sacked Mourinho, only to start asking for poch again.

Too must sense

patrickmuf:
It's official, the Biggest Club joins forces with the Most Decorated Coach in the Business...We cool like that...GGMU

You mean the most sacked coach in the business?

We cool like that ggmumu

capricornian:


Abi... Pep must just go ask Arsene Wenger how the thing dey go for EPL. Arsene Wenger is actually a very good manager who would win Spanish or German league every year if he were to go join them. Those 'small' teams for EPL don show am many times.

Sometimes beautiful attacking football alone doesn't do it and Athletico Madrid is a good example. There has to be some balance and smartness which I think MOU has got more than Pep.

To be honest I like MOU... saw a clip of him talking to one Inter player on Skysport..it was a brief but very challenging or should I say daring convo. It looked like he was up to some mischief with those looks and I almost cursed uncle LVG

Las Las wetin u gain

SetrakusRa:
WTF is this rubbish about 'Man Utd kinda Coach'?? People should learn to stop saying shiit just to sound smart!

Welcome Jose!!! GGMU

This one was the 2nd leader of the Mourinho crusade. I wonder where he is now
