Mr Anti Rooney. How far?

The fallacy that Rooney is the problem of the team has been proven wrong over and over again. In fact, the current players are affecting Rooney. They are not matured and mostly don't play same kind of football.

The following players should be sold :

Fellaini
Mata
Blind (could be managed as a squad player)
Memphis. (under probation)
Darmian

Buy back Nani.
And Jones to the list. The way he has being rolled on the ground by average attackers recently is a big concern.

And of course Rooney. With what we're playing no player in this team should be taking home such huge wage.

Chelsea and Utd outbantering Arsenal famous team consisting of the likes of Almunia, Eboue, Senderos Djourou Squullaci Santos Park, Bendtner etc...

Imagine what we achieved with the twerps above and look at United and Chelsea..... turning out week in week out disgracing the game!!!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 7:10pm On Dec 26, 2015
I see people screaming Guardiola's name cheesy
They don't know that possession football can be very boring irrespective of the coach.
Just recall Spain at the 2010 world cup. They bored the hell out of everyone, winning six games by a 1 goal margin.

If Van Gaal had devastating players, this system of his would have worked. Let's tell ourselves the truth, we have an average team right now.
He is partly responsible too for this, since he sold off many of our players.
Just imagine Rafeal playing the Dani Alves role on the right wing.



We won games this season with his boring style when we had better players on the pitch and even managed to top the table briefly, so I think he isn't fully clueless.
The injuries disrupted the balance really.

The problem with Van Gaal is that he smokes too much weed, which makes him select the very worst of an already poor team as starters grin , thereby compounding his own problems.. Hehehe

Pep has fooled Bayern in Europe playing some really docile/toothless football, when Robben and Ribery are absent.
Possession football is useless without 'hot' wing players.

I don't like Mou, but I'd pick him, since he has a point to prove and he's a brilliant coach, even though he isn't long term.
He has learnt his lessons I believe, and I even see him playing attacking football in United just to prove doubters wrong!

Let's forget this long term idea.
All coaches are adventurous nowadays!
Maybe Wenger is just the last superstar long term coach in football.

Yes, it's a fresh challenge.. if I may ask, can you give me two good reasons why jose will flop if he comes?
When he left Madrid, Chelsea too was a fresh challenge

1.The same reason he flopped at chelsea
2. He didnt buy these players
3. His football philosophy is different from Man Utd
4. He is a known whiner
5. He has been sacked at his last 2 clubs
6. At his last 2 clubs he has had problems with top players
7. He is known to be notoriously short term
8. He would fight FA, other coaches, media, physio even anonymous posters from Nairaland
9. He is a Chelsea man at heart and his heart would always be with chelsea
10. He isnt known to work with youth

Rooney is the only one who played sensible football today. His disturbance of referee today is understandable. The ref made three straight wrong calls with the first two involving Rooney himself.
Meanwhile, Martial dropped deep and even drifted wide after first 20 mins when he was mostly isolated and lost can contention of long balls. I thought a center forward must stay in between the two centre backs playing on the shoulders of the last men. Lol. He is also now becoming selfish refusing to make an obvious through pass. If na Rooney.....
rooney play sensible footballhuh Abeg describe sensible football 4me.

all dis things you listed here still doesn't change the fact that he is one of the top 3 managers in world football. So leave am 4 us, we like am lyk dat.

Pep at Bayern has made back to back CL semi finals and lost to eventual winners. That means in 2 yrs they have been better than anyone beside those 2

Jones had no blame. He did his job well. The goals were from Memphis mistake and Young's hand ball leading to a free kick.

So because he was sacked for his poor showing now means he is finished? It now means he isn't jose again ba? No be him still make the useless club the top club they are today? What did his useless players play today? If you really followed chelsea games you would have noticed that they played quite an entertaining football, their style of play under jose was way above ours

I'll put it down to ill luck or the players didn't want to play for the man, you cannot tell me that this same man who took those players to glory last season suddenly got his tactics wrong the next season, and it's not like that was his first silverware

Having one bad season doesn't stop him from being jose mourinho, ferguson didn't stop being ferguson when he crashed us outta the group stage, this is something managers experience in their managerial career
1. "I get am before" no be property. The latest situation is that Mourihno was kicked out for battling relegation at a top club 2 weeks ago..

2. Chelsea lost 9 in 16 matches, yet you feel he probably "ran out of luck". Okay oo

3. Chelsea won the league last season but when they started badly this season, instead of re-strategizing by fine-tuning his tactics and motivating the players, Mourihno felt that....

a. Eva Caniero's incompetence was the problem

b. The The F.A had a personal vendetta against the club

c. Criticizing the players in public was the best way out..

4. Considering the fact that Mourihno prefers to soak up pressure and counter attack, is it the likes of Blind you wanna see soaking up pressure at the back? Memphis Depay leading counter attacks? ?

Bros, I really don't see how Mourihno would change our fortunes positively this season. Like i said earlier, i'd rather we employ Giggs till the end of the season and see what happens there after

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 7:17pm On Dec 26, 2015
Saying Mourinho will be incapable of delivering is like saying he isn't a good manager.
If you think he isn't a good manager it's either you feel he never was good in the first place, lol
Or
He has lost it because of his recent debacle at Chelsea.. Again lol



I'm not a fan of Mourinho, but if u must kick against him, do so with solid points


I don't see Giggs bettering what Mourinho can do with this United side
There's nothing to suggest that thus far, before even think of Guardiola's Barcelona appointment, the two cases are not analogous.


The only thing that will justify snubbing Mourinho again is if Woodward is able to secure pep against the summer
And he should agree to come irrespective of where we finish with whoever is going to be the interim boss..

As long a shot as this is, Guardiola coming here to succeed isn't even guaranteed.

SIRcumalot:
We've been lucky to know one manager for more than twenty years, but I don't see this attacking football style as our philosophy infact I see a lot of similarity between jose and SAF.

Attacking philosophy is "Arsenals way" Wenger's Arsenal used to play better football than we. Could ever hope for and for awhile rivaled Barcelona for "most fun team to watch"
(No wonder they swap players back and forth)
Wenger lived and mostly died playing that way.
Man utd on the other hand are very pragmatic(which is the one word that describes Jose best)
We adapt to whatever play style get us the WIN you just have to watch an Old gunners VS utd game to see what I mean.
I hope you understand that the time it takes for us to establish this said blueprint we're slowly on our way to becoming Liverpool.
United were never a possession based team.
It was total direct football.

We suffered against any team that could hold the ball, eg against Barca in all our encounters from 2008.

He will buy his own players and keep the ones he likes, not many of them should be wearing the united jersey anyways

We've brought in two clueless managers whose philosophies were and are different from united's


4. He is a known whiner
Whine all day I don't care, trophies? I do care


5. He has been sacked at his last 2 clubs
His attitude also played a big role, and besides madrid and chelsea are clubs notorious for sacking managers like there's no 2mao


6. At his last 2 clubs he has had problems with top players
I believe he has learned his lessons and would be very cautious this time around, and also be very mindful of the things he says


7. He is known to be notoriously short term
Who is long term?


8. He would fight FA, other coaches, media, physio even anonymous posters from Nairaland
I don't care, ferguson did same most times


9. He is a Chelsea man at heart and his heart would always be with chelsea
Right now, that is the last place on his mind, he'll take every chance he gets to get back at chelsea, believe me


10. He isnt known to work with youth
Who need youths when we have players who will deliver, the next manager can work with youths since jose is short term

I don't remember where I said he caused any. He's doing his job indeed by being dribbled and rolled on the floor like an amateur by attackers from Norwich and Stoke. grin

We should find a CB to partner Smalling. Jones is just full of energy no football brain.
