joeace2020: Yea i do because some of you people have no patience. We have hardly had two halfs of poor football this season and there's an obvious reason why. [b]Because of the personnel we have in this team, [/b]the manager hardly goes into games gun blazing. Yes he has his criticisms for not clearing out many deadwoods long ago but atleast we have improved regardless, when will the Mourinho out chant stop?
The same personnel that transform their game once they're losing. The City team still have the likes of Sterling, Otamendi, Danilo, etc and they're winning the league.
Mourinho attempted to play attacking football from the beginning, but it didn't work and even exposed us. City exploited spaces between players and as well kept dropping the ball behind our defence which attempted to play high.
At half time, Mourinho made the players to play more compact, cover more kilometers sprinting. So the spaces between players disappeared.
What's your own definition of attacking football we played in the 1st half.
I see, the compactness created those chances. They wanted to go Etihad and lazy around instead of chasing ball and players.
sinizia: What killed this game for us is Mourinho making the exact same mistake as Pep in UCL. We've been functioning well with 4231, then it comes to this match, as always, Mourinho fails to believe in his players and changes to 433 to accommodate Hererra in a show of fear against City.
This man is such a coward, i can't even begin to explain it. Why are we scared to attack this team at a period where they have an important match next week to win and wouldn't play to their best? There's no better opportunity to attack City than now. This man should have played 4231 with Rashford and Lingard on the wings putting pressure on Danilo and Delph. Instead he's looking to contain a side that is very easy to beat now that they have an important game next week.
With every clue that Klopp showed Mou on how to win City, he decided to stick to his outdated and coward approach. This man has lost it. What a coward.
Pls what formation did we play at OT again
Forget formation, players will struggle to play in this team. Just take a look at the movement and ball transitions
elampiro: Not really exactly the same thing. He thinks Valencia's lack of attacking ability was the reason the play shifted to the left, but I think it was just tactical. Mourinho would ordinarily load that area to prevent Swansea from attacking from their strongest side. Swansea might also have come to stop either Martial or Sanchez whoever started from that side. Mata is less of a threat, they could do with one man with him.
Valencia may also have been stationed back to help cover the space left behind by the CB who might have a busy day going to the left side to tackle.
And you rushed to defend your man same way you do for Jones or Rooney
sinizia: Blame Azpi, Blame Moses, Blame Chris, Blame Rudiger. If we continue blaming everybody, how are we going to parry on this thread? Even when Ä40 is leading in prayers and worship, and Afrodoc2, in soul music, una still dey partake in the usual blame game. OK, let's put the blame on Akon like he admonished us all to do. So, can we get back to the party while a search team is sent to dig up the shame of Diggz? Tenk you.
Pastor Leyqute, summarise the prayers let the party start.
