Is there a coach more foolish and stupid than Mourinho??

WTH is wrong with this coward?!!

sorry pls I'm not watching the game,what did he do

how is iniesta 16th on d list but still managed to make fifpro11?? there's no logic there..

patrickmuf:
Funny how someone is bringing up possession stats and chance created in a bid to support his point, I have been watching football for over 16 years now, I need no website to help me draw conclusions, I saw our game with Madrid during the preseason, saw the super cup and saw Tottenham play at the Bernabeu, they were simply better and Poch approached the game without fear...

You guys think we hate Mou but to be honest, we are only bold enough to point out his mistakes, you can't blame the players for serving shit for ever, you have to look at the coach, at City, Pep played Danilo at LB but when he wasn't getting the performance he expected of him, he improvised with Delph to good effect...

A week back, we went to Liverpool and sat back, a move some here blame on the fact that historically Anfield is a difficult ground for us but yesterday, Spurs played and beat Liverpool convincingly even though of recent, Liverpool have had the better of them more times than not, Poch didn't need to look back at their past performances against Pool, he just looked at that defense and knew he had the players to crack it open and thus set his players to go about business as usual...Anything short of 4 pints in our next 2 EPL games would be disastrous cos 5 points is already a big gap...

shey we are going to face that almighty Tottenham this Saturday

its very alright to blame mou for the loss yesterday,but some still think that the first goal isn't matas fault,we should b objective while commenting na,this same amateur mistake was made by Mata against Leicester when we were thrashed 5 3..

I don't really consider Mata amongst d best no 10s around..always slow on d ball,d fact that lvg also used lingard as no 10 and pushed Mata to d flanks same as mou says much..

I love d fact that Liverpool was beaten by spurs,at least now most neutrals would consider dem favourites in the match

Singapore1:
Do we have someone like Rustin cohle there?
If yes I subscribe

mehn mattew macaughney took his role to another level entirely,I guess it would b difficult to see that kind of character again,but the two main leads are quite good,esp d younger..

Anna torv is also in d series,d main character of fringe

Mindhunter


This Netflix gem reminded me in a really positive way of what I liked about True Detective Season One - it's more grounded in the boring realities of law enforcement, but its sense of humor and its bleak feeling really worked for me.

yea...it has a dark sense of humour..I esp loved d scenes btw that tall killer with them...very much like true detective

Kaziar:
also if you love medical dramas or more specifically HOUSE, you definitely need to watch the Good doctor.

I've not watches the good doctor,but I'm certain that its not as good as house...Dr Gregory house is a certified weyrey,it would b difficult to c that kind of character in a medical themed series

adebayo201:
Mata is the only competitor of that position with Mhki for now. Thou, Pogba and Mctominay can fit in too... If we are to compare the aforementioned, Mou prefers Mhki to Mata and again, He's taller, faster and stronger than Mata. Mhki dont just have Mata's eyes and brain...

i wonder how an okada man will see two buses instead of you to drop your passager to walk or you look for another route, Mhki wont oh, he'll sha want to enter and create way where theres no way!
He lacks what, how and when to do things. Just as someone noted probably he needs to sit out some matches or somebody like Pogba
that can help him is obviously missing.

true that bro..

joshnes:
You're propably right, after all it is Mourinho and not us that get to watch him everyday in training.

yup,you'd b suprised at d kind of instructions managers give certain players,but on a general note,micki has really dropped..I really have a soft spot for him

sinizia:
I was way overboard with that post, but it's borne out of frustration. I'm just tired of seeing Mhiki ghosting in matches and still starting matches. If Mourinho can't bench him, injury might be the only solution to give someone else a chance. Mhiki has been glaringly poor but Mourinho doesn't see it. I don't just understand.

its all good bro,I understand,its even baffling to see micky in this state..but to be honest,I myself haven't really fancied Mata is that hole as much,there are times he too kills counters and he doesn't have that speed,but since micky is flopping,Mata should b tried there.but its mourinho and once he believes he can get sth from a player,he'd do it...

I think d way sees it is that either there is sth micky is still doing that he likes,or he feels no other person is good enuf to replace micky there,given our depleted squad
cc adebayo201

Dantedasz:
As in ...... Baffling

anyways,its one of those things we see online

sinizia:
The only thing holding me back from praying for a year long injury for Mhiki is coz Pogba is not back. Once our midfield is completely back, I hope that St. James Partick called Mhiki disappears for good. Waste of human space!!

can you just imagine this kinda comment from a fan...

a year long injury?
so if a player's loses a bit of form,this is d solution..

wetin person no go see for this life

dopeJemi:
Who knows oh

I think first you need to go to NBC to get a broadcasting licence...then they'd instruct you on what next to do..there's a nun refundable fee for d form of like 100k,this was like 4 yrs ago..I don't know how much it would b currently

patrickmuf:
How does it amount to being trivial when you are talking about taking 3 pts off a clash with a direct rival...As per Chelsea's loss, that's just an anomaly, when you look at Chelsea's remaining games, I'm sure you will look at matches against Burnley and Palace as 3 pointers but definitely not against Spurs...

anomaly you say? it now brings me to the question,what shall it profit a Chelsea to win Tottenham away and lose to Burnley and crystal palace...I'm sure conte mustve "overprepared" for facing a rival that he forgot that in the end,its still 3 points..

it can b argued that we lost the title in 2012 to city because we lost 6 1 at home hence d superior goal difference,or from another perspective is that we shoudnt have drawn Everton at home that season or lost away to a relagation bound Wigan...

but to b honest this whole ish is getting stale,like afrodoc said,we all want what's best for the club..the beauty of the game football is that we all can't understand and enjoy it the same way....

let's look forward to our game against benfica

CapitalCee:
Guy if to say you dey my area now I for go buy one crate of o'mpa come give you. You nailed it.
Most people just want to use those big matches to make mouth rather than seeing the bigger picture.

lol,you know d funny thing,whilst in my office,if you saw d way I was bragging to opposition fans that we would smoke Liverpool 4 0 self,but after that me and direct boss who's also a united fan were talking btw ourselves that we know its draw mou would go for..he even joked that mou would park 911 trailer..so its what was expected

afrodoc2:
There is no alarm on my part, I believe we can still win the league and the worst position possible is 2nd.. I am just not happy with the insults people have been dropping directly and indirectly since against those with a contrary opinion.
Fergie did it ONCE and JM NEARLY did it once also in 20 plus years of the EPL.
Gaining points whether home or away against your direct rivals is important in this league.

bro let me clarify something,gaining points throughout the whole season is very vital,whether small teams or big teams,if you win mancity its 3 points you'd b given,if you win Burnley its still those same 3 points..

I think why most fans are being itchy about the big games is because of d sentimental feelings about winning a rival..

Chelsea won tottenham,"a rival away from home",but have lost to crystal palace and Burnley...so what's d essense,I can bet you my left balls that they would have preferred to have lost to spurs and beaten Burnley and palace...

too much emphasis is laid on trivial issues in my opinion

patrickmuf:
Sorry, that's most likely the 3rd season (his final season) when things went south...

Okk,now I get you

patrickmuf:
I actually think Mou is the best we can get now. I was obviously referring to his second season when I made reference to his second spell at Chelsea...Talking about like or dislike is just you trying to build an imaginary bridge between us as fans, that someone else thinks Mou should show more guts against so called big teams doesn't in anyway translate to hatred.

but you do know that the second season in his second spell at Chelsea was when he won the title right? so I don't understand how you meant where you said he lost it...if by him losing it means winning the epl title,then I earnestly hope he loses it this season at Manu

patrickmuf:
With Chelsea, Inter and Madrid, Mou will set up to defend and hit you hard on the counter but now, he just thinks defense first and in most cases, completely ignores the attack...That second spell at Chelsea really broke Mourinho...Sums up all we have been saying, we should approach the big games with a lot more believe that we can win...
Now, unto the next, we need to take 3 pts off our game with Benfica so we can afford to take our foot off the pedal for the remainder of our games.

is it that same second spell at. chelsea that he also won d epl that broke him

someone should also post a stat of jurgen klopp against the big teams in England and after show me what he won...
if winning the epl was only about winning big teams,I guess klopp would've won d title last season..

but hey,we all can't like d same person

nonut:
Mindhunter seems to have great reviews on imdb, but it's the usual FBI profiling and investigation.
Who has started watching it?

I have,and its very very good...gritty and engrossing dialogue between serial killers Nd FBI agents,dark and eerie humour...its really really good..

I'm also watching alias grace,another nice series,it was based in a book by magaret Atwood,d woman who also wrote the handmaids tale..its a very good watch

truly,there are football Einstein's....

larride:
The game was won in the midfield. How will Martial, Lukaku and Rashford didn't get to see anything because we didn't have a midfield.

this was actually the deciding factor,I said that my only problem with the match was the easy their midfielders always dominated ours and won every second ball

CapitalCee:
Nobody is even talking about the 0-0 draw we got away to Barcelona in 2008 when fergie went for a draw and got it, and at home, immediately Scholes scored he closed shop. Why do we have shot memories, if Ferguson had avoided and open game at city in 2011 and hadn't lost 6-1 we wouldn't have lost that 2012 league on GD. Abeg make people calm down joor. It seems most people here started watching football recently.

exactly,most peeps here have forgotten that 6 1 mauling which unfortunately lost us the title,asides From d goal difference,it gave man city such a morale boost to go into other games...
the comment that scattered my brain was some saying Liverpool isn't in form...for real? there are some kind of derby games that doesn't matter who's in form or not,its an entirely different game...I think Liverpool vs united is the bloodiest match in England...form doesn't play a role in this kind of game..what I would criticize is that the pool players were more physical than us..

the fact is that mourinho still won't b accepted my some people in Manu...just imagine getting a point at anfield,see the attacks on him as if they know jack about management,I guess you're right,most of em just started following the game recently

Leyqute:
Name one team that played that way and went as far as the UCL semis.

errrmm..first and foremost,we need to define what kinda way you mean...if its by being cautious against the big guns away,then MOURINHO inter,Chelsea 2012,athletico 2014,2016...but to mention a few...
now I'm not saying that I support defensive tactics all through,but there are games one needs to b pragmatic in approach,...
fans can wail from now till thy kingdom come,but mou has used that pattern to achieve success over d years so its what he would still do..

it begs the question of what if sir Alex had tweaked his ganeplan a bit against barca in two finals instead of the gung ho approach

GloryIsaac:
I just weak..... Things like this happen shaa.

I hope United goes far in UCL despite this kind of gameplay

what if they go far on the ucl with "that type of gameplay"...would you b satisfied?

nitrogen:
And if you think that Mourinho will ever consider changing his 'Park the bus' tactics against the top five at their respective homes, you are a joker.

hehehe..mou has used a particular method of achieving success over the years by going defensive when away to rivals..

then y are united fans just grumbling up and down when he does it now? yes not all of us like that defensive mentality,but when we signed mou,we knew how his tactics worked..even before the Liverpool game,we knew we would defend,so y are they just whining up and down..its exasperating to the eye...
ethiad,Stamford bridge..we should expect simular performances..
fans should just get used to it

ToyinDipo:
I would take Ozil over Mhiki and Mata any day.

straight up

Leyqute:
True that. Lukaku should've buried that chance but I'm not even pissed at him for that. It's the fact that he couldn't trouble Liverpool's defenders that irks me. Some strikers shorter and smaller than him would've shown those 2 CBs hell today.

But like you said, shii happens. We cannot come and go and kill awasef.

that's just a fact..lukaku should have done better today honestly...I keep seeing comments that we played against a "poor" Liverpool side..but this kinda of match is not determinant on who's in form or not...
on to thr next match

Ibime:
Wack, wack, wack.

Na these kain punchlines dem dey hype am for?

y don't you listen first to what's he's saying before passing judgement..if truly youre a fan of rap from d 90s,then it baffles me for you to sat he just makes noise..that's just fallacy at its peak

Nihilist:
Off the top from hiipower
I’m standing on a field full of land mines... Doing the moonwalk, hoping I blow up in time

nice one Brah..nice one

it would b very unfair to compare eminem and Lamar in any sense at all,let alone a street rap or face off..I'm not sure Kendrick is that versed in that kinda rap and besides shady is one of those rappers that Kendrick pays homage to..in his verse in control,he set aside eminem,hover,Andre 300 as d peeps he respects,but listed at d rest as just new niggars...so I don't think it makes any sense to draw comparison btw both of em...
at first when Kendrick started he was almost sounding like a black version of eminem..listen to "backseat freestyle" to get my drift..they are both legends but it would b unfair to compare eminem in that light with any other rapper cos he would murder you lyrically..
jay and Wayne can attest to that fact
