Elrony nd eph12, so I heard Master Matic has strengthened you guys from 2nd to 3rd sharp sharp.

What a buy!!

funlord:
Why should the man that plays in front of me or on the same team as me determine if I should improve my skills or crossing ability? When Dani alves left barca to juve did that affect his performance as a fullback?

funlord:
I hope you know that Valencia is originally a right winger? It was his lack of productivity from the flanks that saw him converted to a full back...as Patrice evra and Gary neville and Dennis irwin have proven in the past a good fullback should be able to create and confine in equal measure! Build attacks and prevent them! Valencia has regressed totally as regards to his attacking instincts and that is not the sort of limitation in a full back that Manchester united requires at this point in time...he has been here for over 10 years and still cant really dribble and crosses like a trainee! He is a good player but can and should do better

There is a flaw in Jose Mourinho’s argument that the difference between Manchester United and Manchester City is money.

If Pep Guardiola was in charge of the United squad I believe they would win the title.

Rewind to the start of this season and assess the head-to-head qualities of the United and City squads. Player-for-player, which would you argue was superior?

Was Ederson considered better than David De Gea? Were City’s centre-backs Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones preferable to Eric Bailly and Phil Jones? Did United fans want Fernandinho or Nemanja Matic?

United broke the world transfer record to sign Paul Pogba, and then made Romelu Lukaku the most expensive Premier League player of last summer. Which English clubs made bigger statements of intent?

How many United or England fans would have swapped Marcus Rashford for Raheem Sterling a year ago? And when Anthony Martial first arrived from Monaco, was his reputation greater than that of Leroy Sane when he joined City?

Although he was signed before Mourinho’s appointment, Luke Shaw was a £30 million full-back – more expensive than City striker Gabriel Jesus. The United manager’s complaints about the value of the squads do not add up.

We can go on throughout the respective lists. Where Mourinho sees players unable to execute his tactical blueprint, I believe Guardiola would have taken a different approach with a squad Mourinho believes needs reinforcing.

Even now, it is the United squad that has the most expensive ‘superstars’ – or certainly those with the greater reputation when they joined the club. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pogba and Lukaku delivered elsewhere prior to moving to Old Trafford. Have they improved under Mourinho? That is the troubling question for the United manager. It is starting to sound like he has no patience or will to make what he has better.

City are ahead this season because Guardiola has developed players rather than expected ready-made talent to instantly deliver. Mourinho has increasingly come to rely on more experienced, established performers. If you want to evolve a club or a team, you don’t call Mourinho. He is a coach who navigates his way to silverware with teams that have the raw materials – something he has already achieved at United with two trophies in his first season. His reputation as a world-class coach is based on his ability to find a way to win. His legacy will be elevated if he returns to what made him so outstanding during his first spell at Chelsea when guiding players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard – who he inherited and made better - and Didier Drogba who he signed and made world-class after an indifferent first season at Stamford Bridge.

If Mourinho was coaching the Manchester City side they would not be playing the style of football we are seeing today. If there is a symbol of that look no further than Kevin De Bruyne, a player Mourinho coached at Chelsea but then sold.

This was exactly the same position I have

BlueAngel444:
God is so gracious that he would allow peeps like you see the new year.

Haaa, why is it you eph1.2, why you.

Why are you letting the devil use you this night.

You were usually wise, something foolish like this coming from is a disgrace to those of us who like.

Is everything ok, should we book deliverance for you before the new year. So that the demons that are disturbing you will leave you alone.

BlueAngel444:
Your stupidity started here for whatever reason and Dayo answered you but you just refused to receive sense.

Don't worry am coming with a pesticide for you

raumdeuter:
It's the same Chelsea that won the league conveniently a season after Mourinho dropped them to 15th

raumdeuter:
I'm not a troll and I can prove that Mourinho is the problem.

This was the same way Chelsea fans were blaming their players until they fired Mourinho and saw the light

Neymar1095:
Eden Hazard's father Theirry Hazard: "Eden
hasn't yet renewed his contract with Chelsea
because he wants to be available in case
there's any potential interest from Real
Madrid , it's a club where he sees himself
playing, but currently there's absolutely no
contact with Real."

joeace2020:
Macheter ins in 2016: Claudio Bravo (Barcelona), Ilkay Gundogan (Borussia Dortmund), Gabriel Jesus (Palmeiras), Marlos Moreno (Atletico Nacional), Nolito (Celta Vigo), Leroy Sane (Schalke), John Stones (Everton), Oleksandr Zinchenko (FC Ufa)

United got four players.

Machester ins in 2017

July 24: Benjamin Mendy from AS Monaco.

July 23 update: Danilo £27m, five-year deal.

July 15 update: Kyle Walker £45m. five-year contract.

Douglas Luiz, from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, £10m fee, loaned out to City’s sister club Girona.

Bernardo Silva, aged 22, reported £43.6m, five-year deal.

June 8 update: Ederson Moraes joining them in a £34.7m deal from Benfica. This is a British record transfer fee for a goalkeeper, with City eclipsing the £18.9m Manchester United paid Atletico Madrid in June 2011, to bring David de Gea to Old Trafford.

And united got 3.


14 players over 2 years is a starting eleven complete compared to 7 over two years. United needed quality and quality isn't cheap hence our huge outlay on players. If the club has realised this then they should be willing and ready to invest even more before we are left further behind. I don't give a fvck if we are a billion dollar team. We should go out there and scare opponents with good football played by world class players. City has shown they will spend if the manager identifies weakness in the team or mistakes in his transfers. They want to get more defenders, go for players like Sanchez. We should be responding in kind with quality players not some of the average malcom and soler we are linked to.

CapitalCee:
Everybody has different styles of player. Mourinho must not tow the same line as pep. For your info he is more successful. Fergie said according to Dwight Yorke that mourinho sholud not change his style of play because it has served him. If Fergie can endorse his style who are we to say otherwise. We are just sounding as if, Pep has won 5 EPLs in 5 consecutive years. After Arsenal went unbeaten in 2004 they never won again till now. Mind you I am only replying you because you do make sense with your points.

CapitalCee:
When you point it out they term us "real fans" There is no explanation we have not given. Someone said mourinho is my "God".

Lordemperoris100:
Hazard: says messi best in world

no wonder he is always hidden like his uncle messi.

may he rot at Chelsea

acensio > Hazard

nitrogen:
Please leave our Mourinho for us, the thunder that will fire him is still doing press up.

afroduke:
Truth be told, jose mourinho is killing man utd. It is understandable to park the bus against arsenal or mancity but not against Burnley and Leicester. Lukaku has been rendered useless even Rooney and sterling is outscoring him, mourinho wants him to be a defensive centre forward..

Digriz:
Why did he changed the system that worked for the team.,something must be wrong somewhere.

codedguy1:
Totally agree with you.

Mourinho has underutilized our players and the result has shown. Yes we are 2nd and should rightly be with what Pep is doing at city, but not 15points na!

well like you said, time will tell. Except this city team will win all their matches till the end of season then we can truly say we had no chance, but I dare say that if/when they hit a rough patch we will not even be close enough to close in on them talkless about overtaking them and that's the sad part of everything.

imagine fa our supposed noisy neighbours are now making us scream because of our STRATEGIC DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS coach. Chai!!!

Logic wey I never use my eyes see before, Even our brother in the Lord dey surprise me with him own

hensben:
Any need to still compare Neymar and Hazard knowing that the former now play in a league Hazard conquered when he was 19

dopeJemi:
so where will Chelsea fans vent their frustrations seeing that Man Utd are struggling to win games and Chelsea are still 3rd behind Man Utd?

ctuagent007:
My bro, no be small double standard & its why Buhari keeps failing & instead of criticizing his woeful performance, the same people (who are also suffering) are propagating the gospel of "touch not"...i only go to politics section once in a while & that's it



@eph now that Fellaini's contract would be ending this season, nobody should come with the excuse that Mou decided to keep him cos this is Mou's time to do away with Fellaini & buy big & since Carrick is on last contract, I pity the desperate board cos clubs now see utd as their making money machine now that Mou is desperate to spend & spend big.

larride:
You don't understand where I'm coming from, do you? Have you seen me anywhere berate the work Pep is doing? You can't deny the fact that Pep is having a wow season but saying Stones is garbage prior Pep is a fallacy of the highest order. The team as a whole is functioning well and that's due to Pep brilliance no doubt but saying he's turning average Joe's to world beater is a fallacy and that's what we are debunking here.

ctuagent007:
U can as well sleep on ur £50m john-stones or Sterling bed since ur points are equal to Mourinho's failurefailure this season. . .

I was here when nobody blamed the players but Moyes & Lvg but now that ur personal lord & saviour, Mou, who died on the cross & resurrected after 2 seasons is underperforming esp Burnley, it's been changed to "touch not my anointed for he washes away utd sins"

AZeD1:
Seriously? My point on this thread is that NNPC and the FG are two different entities.

AZeD1:
What is my stand?
