"Mourinho had not long retired from
playing, and managed to talk himself
into a job at Barcelona. He was Mr.
Van Gaal's personal translator. It
went to his head, he'd go around
thinking he was assistant manager,
taking notes and pointing things out
to the boss" recounts Rivaldo.
"He didn't have any real authority,
but he'd follow the boss around like
a leech, a protege. Whenever the boss
punished you, Jose would just stand
and nod his head disapprovingly at
you. Nobody at the club liked him, he
didn't have any authority - he was
just there to translate the 4-5
different languages to Van Gaal, but
every day at training he'd act like he
was the man. Barujan Sergi once
struck a football 40 yards into the
back of his head and he cried,
everyone laughed"
*Rivaldo quotes may be a complete
lie made up by me.

SIRcumalot:

Maybe Crap his too harsh
If we're played like this against those weaker opponents we would have one easily
But against Chelsea ?
And the Circumstances surrounding our goal ?

We played well.
And it was a foul. Maybe a harsh yellow but who knows what might have happened.
we were wasteful. especially in the first half.and im not hearing you talk about the unfortunate events that gave chelsea their lead as well.

RVP, he played rubbish but he came through

StarBoard:


if. . .

United played better. Simple snd short.

meanwhile how about the rimming from Ronaldo and co? still sore?

You don't want to start this with me oh!

StarBoard:


the same Cortois was man of the match. What more is there to say?

Thank you jare...

coded01:


You don't want to start this with me oh!

just a question na?

It seems Van Gaal knew what myself and Coogar had in mind..
Swap Dimaria for Januzaj and that really brought trouble to their RB AND LB

coogar:


so the first van persie attempt wasn't a clear cut chance? the looping header to catch courtois out of his line isn't a big chance? the one v one chance in the second half that courtois stopped with his leg isn't a big chance?

Those VP's Balls were easy for Courtois. The 1st wasn't going to pass him cos his body was closer enough to cover the post and as for the header, my guy just jump like na training he dey...


But for Chelsea's chances, there is no excuse not to score... What about Ivanovic penalty call?

chrisley024:
@coogar, pls can we see Blind's stats vs Matic.
Let me check sth

blind destroyed matic.....
it's criminal to compare the two players - they are not mates. blind completed more passes, made more accurate passes, intercepted more, had more aerial duels, and was ultimately the better player.

the chances were easy for de gea too!
he even caught drogba's attempt with his feet. how's that difficult? van persie should have scored at least 2 of the 3 chances handed to him.

But for Chelsea's chances, there is no excuse not to score... What about Ivanovic penalty call?

which stupïd penalty?
how many times do referees give those? such fouls are allowed in football. penalty for chelsea my foot!!!

SIRcumalot:

He still looked most likely to score.

brod you dey harsh tonight o.

Januzaj and maria where mediocre on both wings
Clap for shaw and Rafeal.

I am not a chelsea fan but it's unfair to say based on this game Blind is better than Matic, the same Matic that has benched our own midfield general...

id like to see the stats.
the tombo brigade didnt let us hear word about matic.

yup...bt we knew what happnd when dy swap position

StarBoard:

just a question na?

You eh! Make we see how far next week!

i did their seasonal stats about a week ago & tonight blind was much better again. stop comparing ferrari to peugeot 504?

sounness is saying it on TV now.....that this is the worst cesc performance he has seen in 10 years. one player was responsible for nullifying cesc & that was daley blind.

i am telling you...It was as if he wasnt on the pitch same with Matic too...

Fellaini,Blind and Mata really impressed me today

StarBoard:

He still looked most likely to score.

brod you dey harsh tonight o.

I never Mention Mediocre Mata
May be my expectation was too high but I felt we should be able to win this one when I heard Mourinho wasn't playing when he said Costa was out.

coded01:

sorry na.
na just out of concern I dey ask. especially as you carry instruments come before anybody.

Odunharry:

we had 19 attempts today, the highest we have had against any team at OT under van gaal. where was matic?

Unto da next which I see as a tougher game.

some perspective bro.
We missed key players as well. it is indicative that James Wilson made a sub appearance.
and I think Mata was not bad at all.
I feel Januzaj is being rushed. I think Ashley young may hsve been picked over him.

coded01:



Coogar did you see that Hazard "zig-zag run" that left Rojo & co. clueless... --- Hazard wanted to send the keeper the wrong way but De gea was so observant and smart i guess...

DGG was observant or Hazard was clueless about what to do with the ball, I actually expected him to score same goes for Drogba.

coogar:

On top this game, its injustice to say Blind is better than Matic, the same Matic una dey hail 4 benching Mikel...

Easy keh! --- If i hear De gea saw those shots as easy...

Its stupid na! As far as its not the other way round...


But sha, dem dey give such for Man Utd gone were the days of "PDP" when "Papa Fergie" still dey...

januzaj should go on loan....
he needs regular football to hone his skills. this time last season, he was heads & shoulders better than sterling but sterling has eclipsed him by a huge margin - and that's because sterling gets regular football. united should loan him to cardiff or fulham!

on the evidence displayed so far Michael Carrick will have a hard time getting back into the side.

Which is a shame bevause he is my favourite a united player. But Blind is probably the best of the summer signings so far in terms of performance.

StarBoard:

sorry na.
na just out of concern I dey ask. especially as you carry instruments come before anybody.

I hope Rooney & co would be available for next match to save the day or else the party go bad for here...

Check out the replay, Hazard wanted to "place" the keeper sending him the wrong way but we all know what happened...

blind is gold!
even though he's mostly alone by himself in that midfield, he churns out good performance in each game & his vertical passes in that midfield has been outstanding.....he can pass!

twice now - mourinho has opted to kill the game by bringing in a gorilla & he got burnt for it. he did that at the etihad & now at old trafford. i hope he doesn't regret those 4 points.

coogar:

He wasnt anywhere....And sme chekpe guys are comparing him to Blind on their chekpe fan thread..

Their middle s crap

oya sorry that you rented instrument that you didnt use.
But I no sure say boys too do party for una side based on yesterday.
