He was busy buying fragile players pep was buying beasts now he's complaining. The day I read he was chasing that English player Jones, then I discovered he has lost it all. How dare you be playing fragile defenders like blind, smalling, Jones and expect a God result. He missed out on bouchini because he's clocking 30= a defender that defends with his life and scores more than some strikers self. That team is meant for division one not epl.

This is a team. See how the coach is lamenting on how 300million is not enough to bolster the team. My own stupid team ehn, they spent less that 50million and the stupid coach thinks he can win anything with it? To hell with Wenger angry angry
grin grin Abeg no bring Wenger here, we no go leave here today.

Meanwhile, Wenger remains Coach till 2049.

Mourinho is spot on, is just that united fans are too myopic to admit their squad is bang average. No single man united player can make mancity starting eleven (maybe pogba can), That is to show you how bad the squad is.
He needs to pump some Italian blood into that defence. Those defenders are too fragile for my likening. The way smalling jugs around like say e be referee is annoying. Jan bench lukaku play zlatan more. When mikitari wasnt playing well, he kept playing that useless thing and they were dropping points. Now he is bn benched but they are wide away from city. All those butter tired players should be benched.

I'm not a united fan but shut the fűck up..

Compare Sterling of the past to now. Delph? Otamendi? Even Mangala?

Victor Moses at Chelsea? The PS4 David Luiz under Mourinho? E wan spoil Hazard E remain small

See Spurs players, see Liverpool players.. Even Arnautovic under Moyes.. .

No matter how mediocre your players are, it's the job of the manager to instill confidence in them and they will play their best. Is that what José is doing?

Give that same united team to Pep and I'm sure he'll turn them world class.. .
Man U is not a football academy!! These players u mentioned, what did they win with their club when they started featuring with their first team?

In football today, you spend big to win big!!

GGMU

Mourinho can never change. He's a bad luck, he's good at killing careers. Pogba was doing awesomely well till he met Mourinho, Lukaku was scoring goals like tomorrow no dey till he me him, what is wrong with mourinho.

Sour loser or not, he's saying the fact. Give Guardiola the same team United had and let's see if he'll be so special after all. Guardiola inherited a team they've spent multi-millions on, a team Pellegrini used to win Epl and reach UCL semis just before Guardiola came in and he couldn't do sh*t with them last season, he had to spend another 430Million of his own, so...Yeah United has also spent but in comparison, united don't stand chance, they must spend more...It's a shame, average players now cost so much, talk-less superstars, but when you are a big club that must challenge for the title in modern football, you must shell the Cash to get the players that fits the status.
You are just talking trash. How many players among City's players got the EPL first eleven chance last season? Apart from Walker who is a necessity, who among the current City Squad has brought magic to the team? The simple truth is that the City's team understand themselves better than last year.

If Pep has the biggest squad, how Man U still paying the biggest wage bill in England till now. Or was this not the same team Mou used to win titles last season?


Will Mou buy/use the likes of Sane, Bernardo, etc in his squad? His name tactics rely much on physical power and its not working well at present.

See how a flourishing Hereira and magnificent Matic is fading away quickly. Pogba is even getting redundant everyday due to the poor defending tactics.

Lukaku needs creativity in the midfield through which chances will be created so that he can overpower defenders through his agility but gets none: how is Mou working on this?

Pep inherited a squad full of dead woods and he didn't hesitate to take action.

He released about 11-12 players in the just concluded transfer window which had reduced the wage bill of the club significantly.

Get your fact right.

First of all, the team Guardiola inherited had not just won the league as you claim, it was THREE seasons ago that city had won the league when Pep inherited the team he got.

Mou and Pep had one year in their various new teams to observe things and improve, so stop attacking only Pep for not performing well in EPL last season, he finished 3rd and Mou finished SIXTH! So who was more shitty in the EPL last season?

Now Pep had built his team and is doing magic, why didn't Mou build his team as well? He went buying useless players, its his fault that as a coach he doesn't have a good eye for good players. Look at the players running things for Pep like Fernandinho, Otamendi, De brunyne, Sané, Sterling; Mou would never had bought such players or make them become the best they are today. Lastly Pep is playing beautiful football and Mou is playing negative football and the results are showing, when the season started and Man Utd was winning, I'm sure people like you and Mou never complained, you all thought the team had what it takes, now reality has hit you guys you are making excuses, Mou has spend huge money already in the transfer market and even if he spends more money in January he would still come out with nothing, the difference between him and Pep is that Pep's tactics and philosophy is working magic while Mou's tactics are outdated and as usual all he ever does at such point is give EXCUSES!
You how made a good point but my own point of correction is that Pep didn't buy Kevin Debruyne,Otamendi and Sterling, Pellegrini bought them Mancini bought Fernandinho but he did buy Sane.

As a United fan, I agree. I even think he has done a fantastic Job with such quality, but I blame hi seriously for not doing more at the transfer market, United didn't say they can't spend, you can't begrudge Guardiola, he knew what he needs to the best, he knew it will cost so much and he made sure City splahsed the cash and now it's working.
City splashed the cash: was it not a necessity after releasing about 12 players in a team in the just concluded transfer window? Now, tell me the new comer among the first eleven apart from Walker?

They simply understand themselves better in my opinion: it is not just about money spent.

Nah, pogba can't even make the squad, he is too slow and sluggish. man city squad is full of players with pace. But players like Mata, Lingard, herrera, and maybe martial (because he is lazy) can comfortably fit in. They have the pace and skill.

Well, it's just a shame how quickly people defend whom they love blindly. for the records, this is both Mourinho and Guardiola's second seasons in charge of their respective clubs. Guardiola identified where his team lacked and made swift moves to sign players that he believed suit his footballing philosophy while your special one signed Matic, Lukaku and Lindelof. My point here is that apart from Morata who never really favoured a move to Manchester United and Perisic whom Inter refused to lower their asking price for, Mourinho got his primary targets before the season started. For him to be complaining about transfers at this stage of the season is typical Mourinho trying to deflect blame from himself and to be honest with you, this tactics is becoming lame!
Re: Manchester United: Jose Mourinho Says £300m Spent Not Enough by Nobody: 7:48am On Dec 27, 2017
Mourinho is not technical savvy. He falls behind pep, Conte and klop.

He complains and blames a lot. He bought players he feels will win the league for him likewise pep. And so shouldn't be making noise.

He should concentrate on his team and stop focusing on other teams

I hope those supporting, I hope u knw buying good players is very different from coaching and moulding them into a unit....if mourinho stops whining and actually looks at himself, the squad is not as bad as he is making them look. And saying these shitty stuffs impact negatively on the overall confidence of d squad. If u are accusing pep of spending and supporting mourinho....its akin to sinners accusing sinners for sinning differently

MU also have a problem with getting the best out of players they have bought.

Lukaku was never worth £75m, but he didn't look this bad before joining MU. The classic case is Di Maria, a superb player who became just average at United.

So, beyond just money, it's important to look at tactics and coaching as well. JMou seems to be failing at both - and just spending more won't fix it.

Now what you don't understand is pep last season at bayern already knew he was coming to city, he practically told his Spanish friends in charge of recruitment in city to get DE bruyne, and sterling for him, not sure of otamendi, pellegrini wasn't in charge of players purchase, pep started planning one year ahead of his city reign

What do you mean by fragile players? Who amongst those he bought are fragile? Is it lukaku, Ibra, bailly or pogba? Blind is also strong and not fragile but he has stopped playing him. Except for smalling and Jones and if not for the injury Bailly sustained, he wouldn't have been using smalling. And also Jones in the absence of rojo.

There is nothing wrong with the back four of Valencia, bailly, rojo and young. They are the strongest he can field/use.

The man has to speak up now. If he fails in Man U, that is it, it will become difficult for any top team to sign him up. Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal are not likely to touch him. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athetico Madrid, Bayern are also not likely. He is on a tight rope. I always thought he was overated. With all the noise, Zidane has accomplished what Mou could not do with Real Madrid. That is in less than 2 seasons!

When he benched miki, who played? When. He benched martial at a point who played? When feleanni became red card master and he benched him who played. Read my lines well he put himself in this tight position. Pep has a team b that will defeat this man u team. All those smalling and blind and Shaw Jones should have bn long sold off. Can u see yaya toure on bench?? There are many teams far better than the present man u team in the league now.

d differences in net spend of both city and united is 70m, I don't understand u guys o, can 70m even get u a good player in this current market,even if u give mou d 70m he go buy another lukaku , imagine having two lukakus in ur team sterling,delph,otamendy, company, Fernandino,sane,Jesus g, are dey world class ,no pep changed d mentality of players prone to error, I never knew mangala could pass d ball

hmmm! Pep the magician.
U can say that again. Looking at the career of pedro, busquet, thiago alcantera, and pique. They are all average players and pep brought the best out of them. Man city av an over-aged team when pep took over. Old player arent good in pressing games. He identified the problem and worked on it. Jose defensive tactic is getting outdated and belong to small clubs. Mou played 6-3-1 formation wt madrid which pep,klop,wenger,ancelloti and many other top coaches will never use. Give mou a psg,barca,baryern or brazil national team he will still play negative tactics. Man utd made the mistake cos dey were despirate. So they will think and make ammendment.

better shut up ur dirty mouth if u dnt what to say, pep hasn'y spend up to £300M in his 2 seasons and he has dominate the overrated league, every player pellegrini used to won the league has been cleared out (few remain), he has transformed the like of sane, sterling, De bryne and co into dangerous wingers, so what elso do u want. It seems the own premier league is trying to adapt to pep style of football.
