I personally believe that Mourinho might have lost his touch. I suspect that this job might be his penultimate big job in club football.

I used to disagree a lot with nateevs when he used to disparage the man, because when you look at his history, you will find record breaking attacking football in his catalogue.

Jose wouls usually play expansive football up to a point, bookended by games of mors pragmatic football.

Today as i was driving, i heard on radio that mourinho was worried that Lukaku has been working out too much in the gym and has put on a fair bit of muscle...which may have led to him losing some pace.

Sometime during the last decade, the pace of the game has changed a lot. The big bruisers of the yesteryear are gone. You cant see anybody with roberto carlos type of thighs anymore. You cant see defenders that look like micah richards or oguchi onyewu anymore.

The players have shed that muscle and become lighter, faster...even shorter.

.The physique has changed greatly and many of these footballers could very easily be long distance runners. Kante and Firmino easily come to mind. If you look at Leroy sane's body shape too, the guy literally moves like a ballet dancer. I remember watching him doing his stretches and warm up at Wembley last season ahead of the FA cup semifinal and the guy literally moved like a cat.

Mourinho traditionally has always trusted in big strong burly lads. From Drogba to Essien to Matic and Lukaku, powerful men have always been central to his game plan.

This season alone, i read somewhere that Jose already has the tallest squad in the league.

Well what if, a game plan that is so dependent on height, mass and power cannot compete with opponents who are smaller, faster, more agile and boast more stamina?

What if the same bus tactics that used to work so well is failing because top level opponebts can simply run rings around Mourinhos giants?

What if the likes of Lukaku are really piling on the muscle and now struggling to cover distance quickly?

I dont know the answers to these questions...plus im high as fück!

I have watched a number of their games. They have some nice players and their GK and 1 of the CBs are quite good.
They are in the 2nd division though, but at the rate they are going they will be promoted to the top division .

Mourinho: “Reaction? Every player is different. I see different reactions. Sometimes what you see is not really what is inside. Everyone has the desire to work and play.

TheSuperNerd:
Wow... And the disgusting character of PietroRico returns and spills what? Anything meaningful? Naaah... He is incapable of such. A guy who knows no good manners and has no regards for People's parents because he obviously disrespects his own and irks at the fact that I am wayyyyy above his level of dirt... What do we expect from such a dude? Nothing but more filth... Lol..


Please help me change this PietroRico channel... I bet the original moniker have gone dormant which is why he picked PietroRick now just to cover his dirty tracks. The internet never forgets... Lol

Okay here we go... **Clicks**

Fortunately this is the peak of your ascendancy with regards to the discourse of football being a NOISE MAKER on a faceless forum.

TheSuperDelusional and you consider yourself to be informed and academic, you don't actually attack the issues with methodology, with a substantive argument to prove your point. NO , NO, that's way too complicated for you to do. You resort to abuse and rantings like a woman scorned. I guess its misplaced youthful exuberance.

You make wild propositions but without any substance again if i shout the loudest i will win the arguement, i guess its your way of low level reasoning.

Gentlemanly conduct is something too deep for you to comprehend.

popizaino:
pls I don't understand the embolded?

SIRcumalot:
I have been going of the wrong information.

I looked it up again and it just 12million pounds. I don't know where that 50 million pounds enter my head from.

We can do 12million easy.
Lukaku is safe.
Somebody on that board is a massive Jose fan.

WTF is premier league experience?

weedtaker:
And if zidane fail, they will start pointing fingers, if by any chance jose leaves united an experienced coach should be brought in, someone like carlo or conte.

Pay no mind to that mannerless thing.

Like if JM was sweeping all the titles and the team was playing great football true fans won't come here to say i told you so.

What am i saying sef? Once in a blue moon when the team plays well this place is littered with comments from true fans "telling us so".

There is no victory in this for any United fan ( both true and fake), so i wonder why belle dey pain some people.

nihilistjnr:
..

slimghost:
Some people are naturally more inteligent than others. ok?

nihilistjnr:
I 100% told you so about Pogba

slimghost:
I am just so happy the 'true fans' have all disappeared. What I saw 2 years ago is what some people are seeing now.

Mourinho is as useless as a used sanitary pad. I am not watching watching UTD again until the Portuguese Tony Pulis leaves. .....and hey, it's Pogba over the slowpoke for me.

As in there are enough money to make from sales of these players that won't get their act together
