Zidane Ancelotti Pep is better than Mourinho

Mou won it with less fancied Porto and did the treble will an Inter team full of players who were past their prime (over 30); Zanetti, Lucio, etal...Now, context comes to play...
Pep has won 2 UCL with prime Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Eto at one stage and Villa at another...

randomperson:
Mou has three more trophies but has coached for a lot more years... Look for another line

Another line? Zidane is better than Pep...

kokaneprodigy:
Mou started managing in 2000 Pep started in 2008(8 years later) while Mou has won 25 trophies in 18 years Pep has won 22 in 10 years.
Do the maths that’s 0.72 trophy per year for Mou against 2.2 per year for Pep.

Zidane has 2 UCL, in fact he won it back to back, doing so as a rookie manager. He is better than Pep...Let me see you fight your own logic.

Melvyn11:
How can you support what Mourinho does. This Man called Arsene wenger a specialist in failure at a press conference. Just because you are a Man United fan doesn't mean you should support rubbish.

How convenient of you to ignore the fact that Pep took pot shots at Mou and Man Utd for his and our style of play which I am critical of sometimes...
Calling Wenger a specialist in failure when both mangers were engaged in a war of words is spot on. Is Wenger not a failure?

Pep and his methods are the holy grail like you said, He is the ultimate gentleman. The perfect coach, with the best tactics, That is why he destroyed records at every club he went

He coached in 3 countries, he set the record for number of wins at every one of them. Thats why every club he has coached always want him back, Despite all those who claimed he failed at Bayern, Bayern management still consulted Pep when getting a succesor for Ancelotti

Mourinho is an outcast at Madrid and Chelsea regardles of the results he got them

Record number of wins is no trophy, Mou has won more trophies and that's what is important...
You're here calling Mourinho an outcast at Madrid and Chelsea but it was you who could not wait to see his back at Bayern, you were convinced he wasn't taking you guys anyway and wanted him gone for good. You definitely know a thing or two about outcast. Pep and Carlo.

raumdeuter:
After digging up and down, far and wide, you found a remark about Guardiola. For 1 Guardiola snide remarks we can find 50 from Mourinho

Is there any coach Mourinho hasnt attacked?

Football needs a Mourinho...Nobody here or anywhere denies who Mou truly is, it's you the Pep fans boys that want us to believe Pep and his methods is the holy grail.

Pep doesn't talk, he is a Saint and blah blah blah. Isn't it the same Pep that made a snide remarks about Mourinho last season? After a match in the league (I've forgotten the team, probably Bournemouth) he came out to say they play the best football and not some team that are fond of hoofing the ball straight to a target man (Zlatan & Fellaini).

Mourinho's Madrid won La Liga with a record number of points before Barca equalled it a season or two after, so much for a negative coach. Yes, his approach is sometimes very defensive but still, that's another way of playing the beautiful game...

Pep is not the standard neither is Barcelona, teams have dominated different Eras and I don't think going back in history, you'll find any team who have tried as much as FCB and Pep to blackmail everyone into thinking that their methods is the best.

Hope Angel Gomes gets some minutes, very good player.

nezzar:
Lol, Can't someone be a news agent and a player at the same time

Oasis007:


On behalf of the Manager..... the Position is yours! LOL!

Oasis007:


MUTV Crew?! LOL! You gonna have to manage a Spot on the Bench for now, coz I'm in form!

LB then, that dude must not start, you don't want Airmark running rings around him.

Oasis007:


Seriously you Guys are very funny! I really can't stop laughing. LOL!

Can you play LB, perhaps the Manager can replace Nezzar in the Lineup with you, or are you targeting my Spot?!

Your spot bro...Nezzar should be with Man Utd TV, remember he was the one following up the Sanchez deal.

Oasis007:
Lineup

_____________ Weedtaker ____________


Elrony____ Funlord ____ Eph12 ___ Nezzar


______ Sinizia _______ Joeace2020 _____


Oasis007 ______ Lana1 _______ Leyqute


____________ Dopejemi _____________


Manager: Afrodoc2

I'm a left footer, you can't bench me...
Look at Joeace2020 as double pivot, can't work, dude likes attacking, Sinizia will be left all alone.

I am only happy that Dayo and his folks where taken to the cleaners here.

How can someone claim Sanchez's reported fee is after tax and when quizzed on KDB he begins to backtrack? It's funny people just say things some many times hoping it becomes a pillar to which they stand.

See Dayo acknowledging that Zlatan took a pay cut yet he posted a table that had Zlatan earning so much, a table that didn't have KDB whose new deal was announced same time with Sanchez arrival here.

Una go tire last last when he starts banging in goals.

raumdeuter:
How many of them are new to the league or to the coach

You live for arguments?

ALEXIS SANCHEZ...Finally, a worthy No. 7...
Thanks Mkhitaryan for the moments that only came at intervals...

raumdeuter:
Mangala is not a full back, Peps 4 full backs last season were Sagna Clichy Kolarov and Zabaleta they were all old. Mourinho has 2 young full backs he can use in Darmian and Shaw

A lot of the players Pep bought like Sane Jesus Gundogan Mendy Ederson Danilo are not from the EPL and are not used to the league unlike Alexis, Lukaku Matic who are EPL veterans

Matic and Lukaku have played under Mourinho before and are used to his tactics unlike those Pep bought who have never played under him before and are not used to his tactics

How many games did Lukaku play? It's been over flogged here so it's best you don't bring his name here.

raumdeuter:
Your players you mentioned are EPL veterans who have played in the league For multiple seasons.

You have young full backs like Shaw and Damian.

So why can't you be on the same level as city

Sagna was a veteran, Clichy was a veteran, Kolarov was a veteran as was Zabaleta...

raumdeuter:
Alexis can play in any spot, he played on the right at Barcelona plus he is right footed

When last was that? He'll need to adapt period...

Ronaldo might just poison Bale at this rate.

raumdeuter:
You only bought one player not several players like City

Will your gelling can be like Guardiola where you will be leading the league by 12 points while gelling?

It takes a good amount of time playing together for attackers to gel...First off, he'll most like find himself on the right or behind Lukaku which isn't his best position or Martial might be forced to adjust his playing position if Sanchez must play from the left...Abeg the gelling no go easy.

raumdeuter:
Ibime with the signing of Alexis, Does City still have the best team in the league?

Manchester United will need time to gel and Sanchez needs time to be familiar with Mourinho's pattern. My submission is culled from your best seller "Amala, using logic to turn things"

Sean Dyche on Alexis Sanchez: "Take Daniel Radcliffe. Starts off with the first Harry Potter film, gets 150 grand. Then the fourth, he's getting 35mil. No one says, 'No, no, give him 150,000, that's what he got for the first film.' So why should it be different for sportsmen?”

elrony:
He technically meant some Skysports journos hate us.

No they don't, it's part of the job to present a balanced view, the one Man United faithfuls will love, the one that'll thrill the Haters and the one that's the truth.

diggz:
Didn't see that one coming ...... same manager Everton and I think westham were running after few months ago

I see them going on a free fall...

nateevs:
Unbelievable. They are 10th!
What are their expectations, top 4?

I really don't know what the owners are thinking, he is doing okay for the quality of players at his disposal...They might just slide down the table now.

Marco Silva is jobless...The pressure to succeed is crazy in today's football.

Marco Silva shown the door at Vicarage Road...He was hyped up as the next big thing...

EarthXmetahuman:
Sanchez to collect 450k a week at man utd...


Like for real?

Diggz see person papa collecting 450k a week and you dey complain about fantastic player like me collecting just 5k

It's 350k, 100k is for image rights...
I'm sure you know Hazard and the rest of your players gets a percentage for image right and it's separate from their weekly pay?

SIRcumalot:
Sanchez behind lukaku na wetin I dey expect.

Maybe we still throw some money at Leicester about mahrez. Talks of the dude at Psg don disappear.

Exactly, if we can get Mahrez, Mata should drop to the bench. We need players who can create something our of nothing in our forward line. Martial is very good at it, Sanchez is great, Lukaku has been improving his all round performance, we just need someone on the right who is of similiar quality.

nezzar:
Martial at the left

Sanchez at the right

so he will definitely bench Mata

Sanchez is better on the left or just behind the Striker...It's either Sanchez will play on the left and Martial, behind Lukaku or the other way round.
On the right, Mata should retain his place as he effects our play better.
I don't want Lingard starting as our SS or AM, he doesn't influence our play at all and sees less of the ball for someone in that position. Pogba has been covering up for him, doubling as 10 and 8 cos Lingard is more concerned with in taking up goal scoring positions rather than effecting our play...

olril17:
to be fair the likes of Henry,Gary,lampard and Jenas are fantastic football experts who are always fair....

except that most of those football journalists including those who work for sky sports are insufferable idiats(God, can't even bear to start mentioning their names)

from the moment the Sanchez story broke, they were totally anti United, like if we are just one small club with no pedigree ,players only join us for the money, and our coach one of the best in the world was made to look like a dinosaur... while pep and man city are the best thing since slice bread,a poor club that Manchester united treated unfairly in the transfer...yet pep spent 100 million pounds on full backs, and few months ago,the same Sanchez was almost bought by city for 60 million pounds,and it would have been seen as a brilliant purchase by pep for a player in the last few months of his contract!

but for United, obscene Alexis wages(as much as 500 thousand pounds) and 35 million pounds was flying around.....
like I said it was started by the likes of sky sports.... lapped upon by other media outlets..
"pep or money" was started by a sky journalist and he was rightly called upon by Gary.

It could've made more sense if you called out journalist (s) who have been unfair in their reportage of this whole transfer saga rather can try to drag Skysports to the mud. Di Marzio works for Sky as does Balaque. It's down to the journo involved.
Anyway, I'm happy it's all coming to an end, a favorable end.
