Elxandre:
From what I've seen in this thread, most fans hate him because he wasn't their first choice.
Klopp almost relegated Dortmund, but nobody suggested he was finished.
He didn't even start his Liverpool career spectacularly.

Now isn't it hypocritical that many fans here suggest we should have gone for klopp, while citing Mourinho's catastrophic end to his Chelsea career as reason he wasn't fit for the job.

Ironically, both had the same horrible end in their former jobs.

Fans are ridiculous!

This is a good one.

David Moyes believes Jose Mourinho’s current struggle at Manchester United puts into context his own 11-month spell at Old Trafford.

Moyes remarkably has the best record of all 3 managers, losing just 19% of his 52 games, while Mourinho has the worst record having lost five of his 17 games in charge (29%) with Van Gaal losing 23% of his 103 matches.

And Moyes says that the problems encountered by Van Gaal and now Mourinho provides some context on his own brief reign.

“I’m glad you’re saying that, because I’ve always felt that. It does show that maybe it wasn’t just down to David Moyes.

“I’ve always felt that and that it would take time, but that’s football.

“If you don’t mind I don’t want to get too in deep with Manchester United, because I don’t really want to get involved where I say this or that about Manchester United.

“Part of the journey a football manager is that you have to have bad times, as well as good times.

“Jose’s a top manager, as was Van Gaal, but it’s difficult for whoever goes there.

“Manchester United need stability, and it’s a football club that has always trusted itself, trusted its managers, believed in their managers, and certainly given their managers time to do the right job.

“I had my time there, and it’s passed on to somebody else. But it’s still a great job.”

How many times have mmm played together that you are already concluding that they cannot work, just because you want to find a way to sneak Rooney back into the team you discredit players that have no really known each other well when playing on the field together.

You are ready to still give Mourinho some time to get things right but already condemning MMM when they are playing for the first time.(Hope am right about them playing together for the first time)

If you want to give time it should be across board Abeg.

Rooney might still give brilliant flashes here and there but generally he is finished and you need to come to terms with that. Ibra has been terrible in front of goal but we see the effort unlike Rooney who just thinks he can ping the ball to the right and he has done a brilliant thing.

MMM no go work. They play like U-21

But we could only manage to score a Goal against Fernabache with MMM on the Field?!

With two capable Holding Midfielders - Carrick/Pgba and Herrera behind them, MMM gonna definitely excel and take us to higher Level.

We could have conceded 3 that period. We didn’t create more chances.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:58pm On Nov 05, 2016

So Mourinho should have gone to defend this ball? This was like what Smalling did against Chelsea.

So far we can be sure of only Eric Bailly to give a decent performance. Just when I thought Blind and Rojo could do well, they messed up. For the first time they met forwards who pressed them for the ball. We could have lost 3-0 if Emenike converted. What if we came against pacy Arsenal?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:42pm On Nov 05, 2016

I am 100% for Mourinho. We have to be patient. He is the best around to fix the problem. If we sack Mourinho, we might not get out of the problem for many more years. We must learn that sack and hire is not the solution. Sometimes, a coach needs time to understand players in a new team, and then bring his kind of players to complement them.

There is a gap in the team. The good players that are world class are old - Ibrahimovic, Rooney and Carrick. The good players coming up are too young and lacking experience to make vital decisions- Rashford, Martial.

Some of our players are not even competent. We conceded a goal in the first minute. Two central defenders were at fault and DDG partly at fault. Even before the free kick that led to the second goal was taken, I told a friend DDG was badly positioned. I am not even a goalkeeper to be able to spot that. He gave himself no chance of reaching the ball if it went over the wall to the left side of our goal.

People who are calling for MMM appeared to sound ridiculous to me. For the first time I saw Mata, Mkhitaryan and Martial play together. They were too poor together and surrendered the midfield. They appeared too light weight, and Fernabache ensured the game became more physical and pacing. If Fernabache could do that to us, what would happen in the EPL? That was part of the reason Ibrahimovic chased back all the way to commit foul that led to the second goal. I want to believe we should have been better off if we left Schneirderlin on the field.

Our success this season will depend on Ibrahimovic and Rooney hitting form. I can see Rooney coming back, after his goal he almost equalised with a header. That's what confidence does. Our best part this season was when these two started the season together. But trust English press to find a way to kill Rooney's confidence so that he could be dropped for one of Liverpool or Spurs players in the Three Lions.

Those who said Rooney and Ibrahimovic were going each others way don't know what they are saying. Ibrahimovic likes to drop, but most times he dropped, Rooney occupied the top position.

When Valencia is not playing, our right side of attack is mostly dead. Today, Fernabache didn't have to pay too much attention to Darmian. He screwed himself several times. Even when presented opportunity to drive into danger area he was toothless, even unable to trap a very good pass. we should try TFM or Young. Darmian should be sold in January.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:56pm On Nov 03, 2016

We need a win and a draw to qualify. Zorya did us a favour by drawing Feyenoord

It looks like there is too much rotation in the team. Mourinho has not understood his players yet. The players too are yet to understand one another. If we are going to play Martial, let's stick to that for now.

In the second half we have players who are short on speed from our defence to midfield. Once Fernabache realized they were faster, they used that as a weapon against us.

Darmian should not be starting for us. We should play either Young or Mensah. Rojo and Blind didn't look comfortable today, particularly in the second half.

we need more pace in our attacking build up. Mkhitaryan was losing possession, but let's give him more time.

Foreign Affairs › BREAKING! The FBI Says There Is No Connection Between Donald Trump And Russia by elampiro(op): 4:07pm On Nov 01, 2016

The FBI says there is no connection between Donald Trump and Russia

November 1 2016
The FBI says there is no definitive connection between Donald Trump and the Russian government, reaching that conclusion after a wide-ranging investigation that stemmed from concerns about the Republican presidential nominee's foreign associations.

In a New York Times report published Monday night, the newspaper cited law-enforcement officials who said, if anything, the cyberattacks that US intelligence agencies suspect Russia of carrying out against Democratic Party organizations were "aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Trump."

Democratic leaders have urged US authorities to look into any potentially illicit connections between Trump and Russia, a call prompted in part by the real-estate businessman's ostensibly pro-Russia bombast.

In its investigation, the FBI also found no conclusive evidence of secret, deliberate communications between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank that was previously outlined by Slate on Monday.
US intelligence officials in early October formally accused the Russian government of hacking Democratic Party organizations in an attempt to disrupt the election.

New email shows DNC boss giving Clinton camp debate question in advance

October 31, 2016

Another leaked email has emerged showing Democratic National Committee boss and former CNN contributor Donna Brazile sharing a debate question in advance with the Hillary Clinton campaign -- despite Brazile's persistent claims to the contrary.

CNN announced in a statement soon after the email became public Monday that Brazile had tendered her resignation and the network accepted it on Oct. 14, days after the controversy over Brazile tipping off the Clinton campaign initially broke.
According to documents released Monday by WikiLeaks, Brazile sent Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri an email titled, “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” the night before the March 6 CNN primary debate in Flint, Mich.

Exactly, sluggish Mata will always struggle to create quality chances. I am even sure if I look, it would be revealed most of the chances were from free kicks and corner kicks.

I asked a question that you conviniently avoided, what happened to the person/people Mata created the chances for? Why blame Mata after he had don his job by creating chances as a 10.

You like to argue for the sake of it.

If strikers or colleagues chances are created for don't put it away how is that the fault of the person that created/creates the chances.

NA YOU NO KNOW BALL ELAMPIRO!

You know know ball. Is it not the same players Rooney created for against Bournemouth, Southampton, etc?

The quality of the chances have to be great, then the person should be able to score one or two of them.

Smalling will be back in a few days. I like our defensive options to be solid before the Arsenal game. But Jones won't be in top form yet.

I like Schweinsteiger back to the training. Against a team like Burnley, one clever pass could have done it for us. But the most important thing is to get him to play as a substitute to Carrick (in small games).

Somebody created 7 chances and you are blaming him. What happened to those that were supposed to convert the chances.

Can Rooney create half a chance these days Abi na his miscued assist naim you wan take praise am.

Leave Mata alone Abeg.

In our 1-0 away win at Hull, Rooney created 5 chances, and one of them led to the goal in injury time. That is one Assist from 5 chances.

In our match against Southampton Rooney created 2 chances and 1 led to a goal - Assists. I only checked our first three matches of the season.

Mata created 8 chances and non led to a goal. Then it meant the quality of chances were too poor.

Don’t forget the scores, the venue, the opposition.

When Rooney beat Everton 2-1 at Wembley last season, Rooney dictated most part of the game from central midfield. Half of the people who posted here that day said he didn't do anything because he didn't score or Assist. The whole world said United had gotten a replacement for Scholes, but here he was criticized. We won that game, here you are praising someone who played behind the striker in a 0-0 draw in a far less crucial match.

They have no end product. If you have up to 3 players like that in your Team, you're finished. We once finished 6th in the league with these players.

What end product do you expect from him? We didn’t expect any end product from Paul Scholes at United.

Ramires was the best in bursting forward with the ball in his best days. Yaya Toure did a similar thing, but Ramires was the quickest.
