eph12:Oga, you're trying to be clever by half. So who were you referring to about the "raising their performances"? 3SC? |

hoopLA: TBH, I don't have a problem with the result (and the performance) - if na for Old Trafford we been play like that, na different issue entirely. Trying to compare Mourihno's bus parking with Fergie's Cautious approach is what I don't like. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA: 2:44pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
adisaaowala: Fair enough. My case is that Liverpool at Anfield is an extremely difficult tie. Has always been, will always be.I said that a week before that game. How we approach the game from a tactical view point is another matter entirely, because to me, at the end of the day, it's the result that matters in the end. |

I really wonder what all the tears are for when the table still looks like this? A gritty away performance? From a side decimated with injuries? A side still unbeaten? A team still confident? A team that has some levels we are yet to see? Is the same team I should now use one punch drunk game at anfield to judge? Or determine how the rest of the footballing season will pan out? Maka why? 3 Likes

How person go use hand type say Mourinho Park bus and no get get any plan for counter attack. How does that even make sense? Even peak Tony pulis didn't do that. Why bother starting any attacker then, why not just play 10 defenders and station them in the box. Smh Too many loose talk flying around |

hoopLA: When I saw that comment I don't want to answer it. So that the Einsteins will not say we are defending Jose and don't want any criticizm for him, but if you want to condemn someone please be fair to him. Lukaku, Mkhitaryan, Herrera, Rashford and even Matic cannot play in a team that has Rooney, Giggs, Tevez, Ronaldo, Scholes and Carrick. The market now is not same with now and there are no Arab money then. If it's now that Rooney Emerged breaking all records and went ahead to boss Euros, we would have been talking about 150million upwards, but was gotten for 27million. Sometimes some United fans sound to me like trolls wahali, no hard feelings TBH. 2 Likes |

hoopLA:You mentioned Ferdinand and Rooney true but that was before the Glazers purchase of the club took it's toll, in the years (when Glazers were tight with the club's finances) where folks here were using to hammer on Fergie's tactics, we weren't free spending yet Fergie managed to keep us winning even with Oshea in midfield and Rafael and Fabio on the wings, we didn't set out to defend while totally negating the attack safe for that UCL semi final against Barcelona. I make bold to say that if SAF was still our manager now coupled with our financial muscle, we'd be approaching games against that Pool team of yesterday with a different mindset knowing we could win... 1 Like |

hoopLA:Those were someone else words not me. I only wanted to understand if our performances of recent is down to us playing some of those boogie teams from way back. Those teams that used to make us play nonsense then. You know some of us started watching ball recently and are glory hunters. 1 Like |

Any comment you don't agree with here, please pass...We are all entitled to our opinions, when the team does well, we praise them, when they start serving us poor performances over a period of time irrespective of the scoreline, we reserve the right to be concerned...Being a fan doesn't mean you shouldn't be blunt, I am certain most of you were boiling whilst the match was on going but when you come here, you buckle up and try to look more of a fan than others...No be today we know una type... 4 Likes |

“I think we defended really well today, the same as the last games, and we needed to be at that level in the defensive part. "Romelu Lukaku had a good opportunity to score but he missed the chance. We need to keep doing well. It’s away from home at Anfield – a difficult stadium and a difficult team, so we’re happy with the point.” - David De Gea |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:09pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
“It’s always hard, especially when Liverpool are at home and they know they have to win in front of these supporters. It’s hard, the motivation was at a high level for them and for us. "We didn’t have many chances but we had two good chances that we didn’t take. But this is football and the most important thing was we didn’t lose the game.” - Nemanja Matic |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 3:10pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
Koeman might be next outta the door... |

“I think yes [it is a good point] because I think, even before we come here, it’s always difficult. "Today was a difficult game, a tough game and, in the end, a good point, I think. We defended well, maybe we can create a bit more but we take this point and we’re looking forward and thinking about the next game.” - Matteo Darmian |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:11pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
“To be fair, it was a pretty even game in actual fact and not the best game in the world but it was a great defensive display from United, which says it all. "Before the game, you can ask any United fan, we’d have been happy coming away from here with a point today before the game, without question. We have and we’ve not conceded.” - Paddy Crerand |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:12pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
“When an opponent has this kind of defensive approach, you will not create 20 chances. "We were unlucky in at least two, maybe three situations, of course [David] De Gea made the save with the biggest chance.” - Jurgen Klopp |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:14pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
“We came for three points but in the second half we found it hard to do that with the dynamic of the match. "I was waiting for Jurgen [Klopp] to change to go more attacking but he kept the three strong midfield players all the time and he had control. "The second half was like a game of chess but my opponent didn’t open the door for me to win the game.” - Jose Mourinho |

patrickmuf: Koeman is a big Disappointment this Season so far. He had the Money, but he spent it on average Players. The Idiot signed more than 5 Players, yet he's battling with Crystal Palace and Co for the Bottom 3 of the Table. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 3:25pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
Oasis007:It's better to spend 150m on 4 good players than buy more than 10 for same amount...Koeman messed up. |

eph12:choose how you want to define yourself. Don't apply it to me. I didn't label you as a glory hunter. I only inferred that we need to realize it's Jose time and we should expect performances like that from time to time. You quoted me with reference to my comments on our performances vs Liverpool. That's all I know. So I responded to you indefence of what I already wrote. 1 Like |

PietroRico:And whenever we had the ball, what did we do with it?? 1 shot on target the entire game. None in the 2nd half.(pic) Maybe u should rewind to the same fixture last season when we had 9 blue shirts on the edge of our box. 9.(2nd pic) Against Southampton, we only had 2 chances in the 2nd half from Lukaku and Herrera. None were on target.(3rd pic). This shows how rarely we are able to break out from defence and counter when we re sitting deep. So yes, Mourinho has no plan B once he deploys his bus in front of goal except to bring on more defenders. Smh for urself! 2 Likes

patrickmuf: So in 26 years + of Fergie time at Old Trafford, you are saying that he was only able to play defensive just ONCE, against Barcelona in 2008? and the two times he subsequently faced the same Barca and went gung-ho against them, what was the result? Oga, you're entitled to your opinion. Go and check your history books and see how many times Fergie dominated Liverpool at Anfield, even in their sh1ttiest periods and come back and tell us. All I'm saying is that bringing the cost of players now vs. 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, is not a fair argument to make. Glazers or not. You know that the transfer market is way over-inflated theses days, and as such expecting to get a decent player in the realm of those days prices is unrealistic. Plus your assertion isn't totally true. Fergie trusted the likes of O' Shea, but it didn't stop him from buying Jones (another multi-faceted player) when he saw the need. So it's not like Fergie couldn't spend if he wanted to. you can make your argument against parking the bus, but please don't compare prices then and now and use as appoint to argue with. that's all I'm saying. 1 Like |

funlord: It's not hard to see that some folks are just typing for the sake of it. They now even lump it together with games we won. Even when we put 4 goals past opposition while not playing well. I thought the result is what mattered the most. apparently, sexy football is also needed. If that's the case then they should not hold their breath, because Jose will go to anti-football tactics to win if need be. Nostradamuses here have seen the downfall of the side. No one is talking of the fact that we've only conceded two goals all season long in the league. All is just wailing galore. No improvement anywhere. I just tire. 3 Likes |

Do they think man city or barca won't also have games like that away from home or even at home? Even those who have won things for united while playing (not chatting) have called it a solid point gained!

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA: 4:29pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
funlord: Unfortunately perspective is very near yet so far. One bad performance rubbishes every good one done. More so in a tie that even at the peak of our powers, we never had it easy. When we were blasting away sides people thought it would last forever. And when we have a bad game and win, it' is still not enough for some. I personally hate Mourinho's guts, but to deny that he gets the job done is being disingenuous. His resume speaks for itself. The earlier we realize that we are in the Jose era, the better for us all. Shikena. 2 Likes |

hoopLA: People here are not even talking about how Jones put up a very masterful performance yesterday, all they bang on about, is the overused " Park the Bus" crap. Forgetting that only Man City have outscored us this season. The Tottenham and Liverpool people are jumping upandan about how entertaining they are, How many goals have they? Some will prefer and entertaining draw to a park the bus win Sha. 2 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA: 4:37pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
CapitalCee: for me, it's not the issue of bus parking. It's more of this obvious need to complain when there is a hint of a bad display, even when we win. That is the part I still don't understand. The team has made its best start in years to a Premier League season, but all we get is complaints. Defensively we are more sound and appear more sure footed than last season. Yet no one sees tthis as any sign of progress. We are second on the log. City will encounter periods when things will go wrong for them. Hopefully we will be able to capitalize. 2 Likes |
