That was an underwhelming performance. I suspect Amaka will disappoint again cos i no understand how we will play 2 games against an out oshi team from La Liga and we could not play correct football against them in either game.

It used to happen under SAF too against some small teams. But these were mostly group matches

Pogba: “We won the game, he lost the game and he doesn't want to speak about the game, he wants to speak about the dad of someone, that's what he does. Everybody knows him, it's very Mourinho." [@SkySportsPL]

If we get past Roma, it's Arsenal or Villarreal in the final...This competition no easy as it seem o!

KingAlabi, abeg tell Amaka make him just win am and I go personally extend him contract...

Villarreal play very good football that can leave you frustrated and Arsenal can be very unpredictable, on their day, they're dangerous...

Roma? I really haven't watched them this season so, I don't know what to expect but hopefully, Ole rotates well and leaves the squad fresh in the run up to the game against Roma...

Leyqute:


Phil Jones played as a DM when he was around 20 or so.

A younger McTom, with the right coaching and enough minutes , could maybe turn out as an elite CM. At 24, the story is different.

This your theory is wrong. Whoever thought Mikel could play the DM role with the way he played the behind the striker in his formation years? Carrick, Xavi did not start as a DM. Kante was all over the field at Leicester when he paired with Drinkwater. Kante was moving all over the place while Drinkwater was stationed DM, and no one knew Kante would be able to maintain discipline

After the Spurs game, haven't you notice that the animosity towards Ole and the players has seized here? What does it tell you?

It's really nothing personal, we just want the team playing well and winning games most times even as we acknowledge that it'll not always be the case but then those bad days should be few and far between...

If we make it past AS Roma, i would prefer we play Villarreal in the final. Arsenal just have a way of beating us under Ole, even if na rubbish dem play throughout. If Arteta win Europa League this Season........

I thought we had an easy run to the trophy but you see Arsenal and Villarreal? I no get any preference...Villarreal plays very good football like a typical Spanish side and you know too well we struggle against such teams.

Arsenal on the other hand always turn up against us...We need to play as well as we did against Spurs in the 2nd half to win it...

The bolded is so true, even under SAF we struggled against Spanish team who keep the well most times. But i just have a feeling we can do it against Villarreal rather than Arsenal, let's do our job and qualify for the final first......

I love this. Mourinho is a mad man give it to him anyhow

As long as our play reflects the true potential of our team...It'll not always be pleasing but at least in majority of our games, we should be on the ascendancy and trust me, the points will follow...

No, you’re the one who didn’t get it.

The “theory” is that a player, who has played in a different position before, and doesn’t have the basics to play in another position, cannot be taught the basics required to play in that new position (and be really good there) once he’s grown.

It’s not as parochial as you thought.

GloryIsaac:


The limitations aren’t about coaching staff.

McTom is 6’4 and most players good with ball at feet are usually less taller, also he doesn’t have the typical soccer player stature (legs in this case). However, his height gives him the advantage in duels.

Fred is 5’6 and has good ball at feet abilities, but can hardly win duels due to body stature.

And such team setup needs a player with good ball at feet abilities and who can also win duels and play dirty.

GloryIsaac:


McTominay needs space, and time to think on the ball, unlike the other guys who play it quicker and are very mobile.

Even Pogba with his excellent ball-playing skills, which is obviously raw talent, also occasionally faces similar height problems.

It’s not easy as a tall person (6’3 above) to maintain very good ball-playing skills. Unlike the others, Messi and Co who mesmerize everyone with same skills.

Jose is a winner and whatever they are saying about him right now will not make him look bad...

Ole has not won anything yet so he's still a serial bottler... Fraudgba just dey talk.

I dont care how good Pogba is buh it's low of him to talk abt mourinho this way.

If he loves Ole or United that much, he should sign the contract!!

As if Mourinho didn’t call him a virus and wasn’t the reason the air at Carrington wasn’t fresh

According to some Folks here....... the cursed one.

Axel Tuanzebe’s game by numbers vs. Granada:

93% pass accuracy
54 accurate passes
4 ball recoveries
4 duels won
3 long passes completed
3 clearances
2 interceptions

Pogba: “What I have now with Ole is different, he wouldn't go against the players. Maybe Ole wouldn't pick them, but it's not like he puts them on the side like they don't exist anymore. That's the difference between Mourinho and Ole.”

Did Pogba actually say this?

GloryIsaac:


Did Pogba actually say this?

The video is on Twitter - he said so.

And it confirms my thoughts that Ole pampers these guys. There’s no consequence for failure, Ole actually rewards failure. Lindelof can score 5 own goals in a game and still start the next game.

Pogba has forgotten that he would have no trophy at United without Mourinho. How many competitions have United failed to win now post-Mourinho? Almost 11. Pogba is a joke.

It’s not as parochial as you thought.

McTominay has the basic more than some who later went to dominate the DM position. There is no one route style to playing the DM position. Kean, Carrick, Toure, Fernadinho, Mikel, Pirlo, Oliseh, Ndidi, Essien, Matic, all have diffenrent style.

If Kante started at United, he would have been called a headless chicken
