Seem some United still believe in Mediocrity. This is United, not Arsenal or Brighton we are talking about ffs!

JM is killing the Team, he's not ready to change is idiotic philosophy! He's a Coward, and too stubborn to adjust.

This is Someone who so much believe in Ruggedness than Skills. It's so amusing some Fans are beginning to see Fellaini as a good Midfielder, the Afroman.... .?! LOL

JM should pack off to wherever he likes after his Contract expires at United. I was a big Fan of the Coward until the City Match. I've lost all my Confidence in him, coz tactically he's a big Fool!

I'm ain't subscribing my Decoder, nor paying at the Viewing Centers only to be dulled and bored with defensive Ish! I wanna get entertained, not celebrating "Oriyomi" Victories all the Time.

JM should fûck off, and a competent, attack-minded Manager should be sought to succeed him.

For club
2011/2012 Mata 12 goals 20 assists in all comps, Silva 8 goals 21 assists in all comps for City
2012/13 Mata 19 goals 35 assists Silva 5 goals 13 assists

Before Mourinho came into Matas life 31 goals 55 assists in 2 seasons In the same time Silva 21goals 34 assists

That was Matas productivity before Mourinho came into his life, We can say if Mourinho had gone to coach Silva at that time, probably Silva wont be a footballer anymore
Can the same be said of Hazard that has reduced number of goals and assists plus awards since Mou left him?

His use of playmakers is to make them work hard and harry attackers. He blamed Hazard for not marking, preffered Mata over Oscar because he can mark, Mikitaryan KdB, Kaka
Oscar you mean. Though Mkhi is a Mou buy ( I guess he is suffering like how Di Maria did cheesy).

Even Xavi and Iniesta mark players and recover the ball, the fact one is a midfield means he has both defensive and attacking roles. Because of the speed Mou likes his teams to attack in, they lose the ball frequently and have to track back and recover. While Pep uses slow build up attack then quick defensive to recover while Mou tells them to cover then quickly exploit space in attack.

Anyway lemme see who's view wins, is it Mou's fault or the players (to an extent Lukaku) grin

Players have different styles that suit them and should pick teams playing such style.

And raumdeuter has not told us how mourinho who is "aversed to playmaking" has names like Joe cole, Hazard, Deco, Sneidjer, Ozil, Fab and currently Pogba are flourishing under him. While Hleb and Fab failed under Pep the attacker.
Fabregas and Hleb could not displace maestros like Iniesta and Xavi so they had to sit on the bench

Hazard was blamed for Chelsea CL ouster, Eden is not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team," Mourinho fumed post-match. "He is the kind of player that is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and to leave his life for him. The perfect team at the top level cannot make these kinds of mistakes."

KDB said he lost his Joy under Mourinho

Ozil was told “You’re such a coward. What do you want? To creep under the beautiful, warm shower? Shampoo your hair

Watching United flounder against Manchester City on Sunday as the Stretford End pleaded with their side to attack, it was hard to avoid the thought that Mourinho’s sidelining of United’s two playmakers was more to his team’s cost than its advantage. At a club that prides itself on going for broke in front of their home crowd, this was less a means to an end and more an end to the means.
As Mata looked on from the bench and Mkhitaryan from the stands, what stood out was not just how desperately uninterested United seemed in producing a moment of match-turning invention
As Mata looked on from the bench and Mkhitaryan from the stands, what stood out was not just how desperately uninterested United seemed in producing a moment of match-turning invention, but also how City’s squadron of creators offered far more than just capricious on-the-ball creativity.
De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan all scuttled and scrapped in a manner that was about as far from the archetypal ‘luxury player’ as is possible. Meanwhile David Silva, perhaps the definitive pocket-sized playmaker, could be seen charging around channelling his inner Norman Hunter, hurling himself with abandon at any opposition player within reach.

It is Mourinhos fault because he is tactically defensive and conservative

Play these same United players under Pep and give City Mourinho. United will attack City

LVG is damn right after all about JM Style of Play! I was scared of United getting paired with Real Madrid in the UCL R-16 Draw, coz its no doubt JM gonna park "Double-Decker" Bus and a locomotive Train in the both Legs and hoping for an undeserved, accidental Victory.

Boss, you produced stats of Mata being better than Silva before JM came into his life.

If we produced Hazard's stats too since JM left would you accept JMs influence in his playing career?

I am not supporting Jose.
Our debate is between Pep and Jose who met a better squad.
Are you also considering the improvements made by bought coaches as well.

The vast array of improvements financially done in the past four seasons also plays a huge factor.

City have given Pep a better squad, at whatever cost. Bought 2 new Gks, bought 4 or 5 defenders, bought 4 attackers, 1 striker to to a team with atleast 4 quality top players at the time whereas Man U had just De Gea and maybe Martial who along with other previous buys were bought based on future potential.

City bought players 40m, 50m up to 7 wow.

Niqqa, chill. At the end of the day, victory is ALL THAT MATTERS?

Chelsea vs Barca Enroute our Champions League victory will always remain evergreen in my memory, not for the sexy and silky football style, but for the doggedness, discipline and defensive style. We eventually won Barca and Bayern in their own turf parking 5 Julius Berger trailers.

If we could play sexy and win that same night, It would have been the same for me.

Before Mourinho got into the life of Hazard in 2012/13 he had 13 goals 24 assists in all comps thats 37 goals + assists

So you can go ahead and convince me

This is Someone who so much believe in Ruggedness than Skills. It's so amusing some Fans are beginning to see Fellaini as a good Midfielder, the Afroman.... .?! LOL

JM should pack off to wherever he likes after his Contract expires at United. I was a big Fan of the Coward until the City Match. I've lost all my Confidence in him, coz tactically he's a big Fool!

I'm ain't subscribing my Decoder, nor paying at the Viewing Centers only to be dulled and bored with defensive Ish! I wanna get entertained, not celebrating "Oriyomi" Victories all the Time.

Fabregas cannot displace xavi and Iniesta but was chased for over 3 years endlessly culminating into Barca players wrapping him with a Barca kit during world cup celebrations. Hleb was key to Arsenals champions league run in 2006, so why did he chase him and bought him to spectacularly fail. Seydou Keita did not displace xavi and Iniesta but still got his fair share of games, so is not a flop, then why these other 2.
Hazard had his best season with Jose, Ozils time with him are his best years. Joe Cole played the best football of his life with Jose.
Deco was brought to limelight by Jose. Pogba is already fantastic this season Why?

Players are not only bought for first team spots alone, players are also bought to be backups. Cesc and Hleb were bought to be backups. Cesc as a long term Xavi replacement but Xavi didnt wane in powers and Cesc became impatient same thing with Thiago

Oh if Seydou Keita is not a flop, then how is fabregas who played 151 games for Barcelona scored 42 goals and gave 57 assists a flop all in 3 seasons Thats an average of over 50 games per season average of 14 goals and 19 assists per season

Can you prove that Joe Coles best season was under Mourinho Deco was brought to limelight by Mourinho but his best years were in Barca with Rijkaard

It still remains to be seen if this will be Pogbas best season ever

I have been a Bayern fan for over 20yrs when no one knew about the EPL.

I have also supported Ajax at some time in the mid 90s because of the Nigerian guys especially Kanu who is my best Nigerian player ever,

Juventus from around 1990s to 93 because that was all I knew then since the person who introduced me to European football was a Juve fan

and Bayern because I liked what I saw on TV then in the days of football made in Germany. After Kanu left Ajax, Bayern became my only team
