Diademk07:
Lol!

When argument fails you!

Just tell me if any of the average players (Herrera, Morgan, Rojo, Depay et al) has improved under Mourinho?

None! They've looked far worse so far!

The last thing Van gaal can be accused of is negative display! The players gave him no option because they were just as useless going forward as well as their defensive play.

At Bayern for example, his criticism was his fragile defence consisting of Demechelis, Van buyten, error prone GK and one injury prone Badstuber. His attacking display never came into question.

Diademk07:
Oh? Because Van gaal had Schweinsteiger to pass it to the next man?

Just to let you know, Van gaal is allergic to stupidity! If you can't make a simple 5yard pass, what happens when you make a longer one? That was his problem with Herrera. Or people whose bottom level are of pub level.

For example, he never stopped Carrick from playmaking even when his job was simply an holding midfielder! He never curtailed Martial nor Rashford play either.

The funny thing is none of these rubbish players has improved under Mourinho. They even looked far worse vs Dortmund and Galatarasay 1st half match.


For the records, the last time Schneiderlin played as a DM, Southampton almost got relegated that season.

Diademk07:
Shaw played full minutes last season until he was injured. Even CBJ was preferred to Rojo until he also got injured.

That already rubbish your argument.

The main fact is 2 of Van gaal players were the best players on the pitch in th Hull match and knowing Van gaal, he would have added Kante to the team. This is a player whom Morgan should have been. Kante can play box-box as well as DM unlike Morgan.
He would have been a partner for Carrick or could have played in his role when he needed rest.

Rashford would still be starting striker.

Players such as Mane/Ounas could have been added and would have played on the right wing.

All these players we were linked with before Mourinho showed his yeye face.

lekkie073:
elamps dey laugh "assister of the assist man" not knowing he has said something close to dat before.

AdisaOwala:
Kindly provide a link to a credible source please...

RuuDie:
If we go through this thread properly, I am 100% certain we will find that you have made this exact same statement sometime in the past. So no throw stones inside market ooo...

n0m0705:
you go fear people na, I don't know what they want from the guy, the same way they doubted blind even some of them started criticising bailey before he kicked the ball for United. Awon analyst aiye

dopeJemi:
I totally agree with Chrisley, Fellaini lacks football sense, all he does is pass to the player closest to him, bully players off the ball, use his height to his advantage, sometimes there to intercept

This is Fellaini, and like Chrisley said, we deserve more than fellaini as our no4

chrisley024:
I must confess it is like we've the best backup players in the league; they can come in and bring a different dimension to the game. The challenge will be keeping them happy though.

I still don't support Fellaini to shield that our back four. Dude has tried, against wee teams, but is rash and just bullies players with no football sense/proper reading of the game/positioning. Lacks good forward passes and easily drawn away from his position. Hoping he doesn't get exposed in big games and cost us points.

AdisaOwala:
But how come low ranking clubs like Stoke, Watford and Hull City are the ones signifying interest in him?

Ayam really worried for Jones

Funlordjnr:
I no send am.........valencia is having a great start to the season no doubt and I hope he justifies his salary in that position, but looking at his career so far as a united right back he still has a lot to do to be regarded a world class fullback or our number 1! He has cost us so many games and killed so many of our attacks from that position you know? Let's not act as if those things never happened because he is jamming after 2 matches!





Think of evra, dennis irwin, gary neville(my generation)......these are defenders who I use as the standard to judge united full backs, I'm sure you won't even attempt to compare valencia to them yet! I can't forget the past 4 years and I have also posted countless articles of even better pundits criticising his performances but I know say you will still form stubborn and refuse to see the matter from those angles! No shaking.... Valencia is a good squad player but he is not a united standard fullback YET!






Herrera needs to also concentrate on doing something that would make someone in the team also hail him like this instead of ass licking! His united career is currently stuck in gear 1............

Oasis007:
“I know him and have always liked the way he plays.

“I know he’s not a normal right-back because he used to play as a winger, but I think that, right now, he is the best right-back in the world, maybe with Dani Alves, because I like Dani Alves a lot. I think Antonio is one of the best right-backs in the world.

“When you have a right-back who is quick to defend and he is crossing maybe six or seven times a game, always or almost always successfully, then he understands the football. When I have the ball, I know that Antonio’s always ready to receive it, always to give you one solution.

“I think he’s going to be very important this season. He has already been very important for the club, he has already been here eight years, but I think I told you at the end of the last season something good is being cooked and everyone wants to be part of that.”


- Ander Herrera

AdisaOwala:
Same way you believed paulinho

If I may ask, how is he faring nowadays?

Lana1:
What were the natches Rooney scored his PK last season??

GloryIsaac:
At times i wonder how you guys team would be if you're the coach .. its crazy to pair Bailly and Smalling, haven't you watched each of them and seen their style of play , you ever wondered why Carrick is still in Mous plans despite his ageing self?, its b'cos of his unchallenged ability to calm the midfield and dictate play moving from defence to attack, and thats exactly what Blind does in that defence... I doubt if Mou would ever make Bailly and Smalling a permanent pair b'cos its not gonna work.

Oasis007:
I don't have the appetite of engaging in a lengthy argument like Diademk07 and the likes..... we shall all live to enjoy the Season to the end and beyond!

Except Blind loses form or gets injured, his position is sealed in the starting Lineup!

Oasis007:
I quoted Mourinho rating Blind high in the Post! If Jose doesn't trust him, or he doesn't deserve to be in the Lineup, he would have been on the Bench!

Like you said, against Teams with big Players..... Mourinho may go for Bailly and Smalling, but that wouldn't stop Blind from getting back his position in the Team because he earned it!

Oasis007:
The bold Part is a buttress to the Points made by GloryIsaac.

Smalling gonna enjoy more time on the Bench! Defensively he's OK, but offensively he's a poo! He lacks confidence on the Ball, and very poor when under pressure!

It will be hard for him to displace Blind, and pairing him with Bailly won't work either!

Oasis007:
A WORLD-CLASS ADDITION

IT'S IBRA FROM 12 YARDS

When Luke Shaw went to ground in the second half, prompting the referee to award United a penalty, many fans – like this writer – expected Wayne Rooney to scoop the ball up in preparation for the spot-kick. Instead, Ibrahimovic took charge and duly dispatched a cool finish into the back of the net, beating England goalkeeper Fraser Forster, to put the Reds 2-0 up. This was no accident, either. The striker later admitted in the mixed zone – the area where players speak to reporters – that he had discussed penalty-taking duties with his captain two weeks ago. They decided Ibra was the man.

eph12:
Yeah that was my point. I knew we would have to improve on that but I wonder how some so called man United fans can't see that or they remember the horrors of Van Gaal anytime they hear dominate?
