Nna eh, the starting XI and the bench go tell me Wetin Mourinho has in mind.

We need to win our match tomorrow, whatever it takes. I don't what you guys think, but I wouldn't mind Carrick playing. We need to control the midfield.

better reduce the quantity of Ijebu Garri.

pamcode:
But your team wasn't exactly smart enough to capitalise on those errors. Were they? Match ended two nil

were you in a cave when the match was played? The match ended 2-1. And if not for our profligacy, we could have equalised and even won the match.


So get your facts right next time.

raumdeuter:
The errors from Bravo that day were mainly unforced errors, I remember on this forum that day everyone was laughing at Bravo dropping tame crosses trying to play from back and getting caught. These are not due to any major tactics from Manure just Bravo fidgeting

I think vs City you had 40% possesion too only that vs Liverpool you beat that record to 35% possesion

Dayo gan sef! Kini difference? Forced errors or unforced errors, what is the difference? What matters is if the opposing team is smart enough to capitalise on the errors.



SMH.

raumdeuter:
One match you say wha about the game vs City

I heard vs Liverpool Man Utd had 6 touches in Liverpool penalty box the entire 90mins. Mourinho will be soo proud of that

if the team was already settled and clicked, I bet you Mourinho would have come out attacking and gun-blazing. I can wager you that Mourinho would have set up his team to attack.

Who be Liverpool? On any day, Man United have the upper hand against them,.. ....but CURRENTLY, Liverpool have the upper hand. Let's not kid ourselves.

SIRcumalot:
Because they wanted Liverpool to beat utd and score like 3 goals each half.
They hate Utd and they mourinho even more.

lol.. ...that's not surprising.

raumdeuter:
Against City you created no chance until you were down 2-0 and your chances mainly were from Bravo mistakes.

Haba! Dayo....... ...cunning as usual. What else leads to goal in match? Is it not opponents mistakes? If the two teams try not to make mistakes leading to goals, will there be goals in the match?

Bravo made some mistakes which we duly capitalised on.


Against Stoke City, Degea made a horrible blunder that gifted Stoke City a goal and earn them a draw.

So, what are you saying?

Nihilstjnr:
And you chopped it....and so the fear of losing kicked in, and the result was this:

200m in one summer to do this...against Liverpool of all teams?

Even Conte as much as I don't rate him showed a bit more ambition.

Using just one match to judge Mourinho and quoting a near ridiculous transfer fee just to ridicule him?


Now, I know you're not serious.

nateevs:
It looks like this point gets completely overlooked. Can you prove to me beyond reasonable doubt that if united went out to attack Liverpool, they SURELY would have lost the game? Please oblige me.

Don't forget that as we have stated earlier Mata, Mhkitaryan, Rashford, Rooney, Ibra, Pogba will walk into the Liverpool side. Unless you are disagreeing with this also.

No one can argue that this players can walk into the Liverpool squad based on individual quality and CURRENT FORM. Please, remove Rooney.


The tactics is what matters and Mourinho hasn't yet stumbled on a good tactic to get the best out of this current squad, but he remembered a tactics of his, and he chose to deploy it. The tactic got his desired result,the fans and club are not complaining much. Then what are you people complaining about?

It's not surprising the way Nateevs and raumdeuter are attacking this Mourinho issue, it's clear to understand. The loathe the man. I myself I'm not so much a fan of Mourinho. But let's be realistic.

As regards the Liverpool vs Man United match....... The key word here is CURRENT FORM ..........and I'm sure none of you here will honestly have been expecting this current team to beat Liverpool,irrespective of how much it was assembled. Because based on current form, Man United wasn't a real match for Liverpool. There's no team cohesion yet, the attack seemed to have gone blunt as of recent.



With time, when the team click, there won't be any questions about who the better team is.

Nihilstjnr:
This point you're making is a related but completely different argument.

From a tactical perspective it made sense to play for a point against a bitter rival in top form..and of course Jose has precedent, this is what he does.

Still, there's clearly a case for questioning Jose's ambition. This is a coach with something to prove after being disgraced out of a club he loved for a second time, at a club with something to prove after the departure of Alex Ferguson, managing players like Ibra and Pogba who also want to prove why they are worth all the hype...

I refuse to believe that Liverpool are better than Manyoo. Not even Jose believes that...yet his fear of losing was yet again greater than his desire to win.It is that fear that was made manifest in his tactics..and this is the very thing that we are talking about. Well, at least, that's the point I'm trying to make.

my man, I get your point. But what I can glean from this your comment is a desperate desire for Mourinho to prove himself after the debacle of last season. We're all know Mourinho is a top class coach, but after last season, his reputation was badly rubbished. He needed to regain back his reputation. Even with a bruised reputation, he was highly sought after by clubs and he finally settled for to top club that has been for the past 3 seasons and desperately needed a revival. By all ramifications, that was a tough job, but he accepted it anyway. He has started well, that's never in doubt. What he needs is TIME..... .....and that is what you're too impatient to afford him, just like you seemed too impatient to afford Conte time.

When Man United faced Liverpool, no one can argue that Liverpool were/are the in-form team, in terms of play, performance and on-field success. Man United on the other hand, were the most expensively assembled of the two teams. I won't argue that money doesn't buy titles, but money DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY guarantee you titles.

We've all known Mourinho to be a defensive-minded coach, so his tactics against Liverpool and maybe Man City shouldn't be surprising. He set up his team not to lose. In some sense, what informed his tactics was more psychological. But that's by the way.

Give Mourinho and Conte time to build their teams and with time you will see they are not just defensive-minded in their tactics.

I don't know why I find myself confident that we will win the match. Them boys better not fucck up please.

This Donald Trump gan!
Very controversial figure. Just trying to imagine him in the White House ......hehehe


We might as well be preparing for World War III, because if Donald Trump wins the US Presidency, the world might not be the same.

But with all the sexual allegations against him from the women folks, Hmmm.



It's a tight rope.
