Why you dey celebrate?
Surely we go play better with him for field.
Na lie. Pogba won't put in the effort MC or Matic puts in DEFENSIVELY. If he'd played, Rashford might have missed out and it would've cost us.

Shame no dey ever catch this man? grin grin grin
Why shame go catch am? The keywords you're ignoring in that speech is "after the 3rd goal." Matic scored that winner a minute into extra time, if we had decided to attack more the thunder that fired Real Madrid in last year's El Classico would've fired us coz of our greed. In this kind of scenario, with about a minute less to play, if Mourinho decides to bring in his coaching staff to help defend, nobody would blame him.

We're okay with Ukaku playing as a defensive strike back sef in situations like this. tongue

My problem with Jose and the reason I want him to leave since it is more difficult for him to change. Why not attack teams at the onset and then leading by 2-3 goals margin drop the tempo while keeping the ball. We've arguably the best attack in EPL but watching the performance and disjointed play sometimes, it's obvious we don't have a team yet. Our league position is more of a reflection of the team's individual qualities I must say.
One good thing about Pep's brand of football is that his team will usually score first, and scoring destabilises opponents giving his team the chance to score more and more. But when a team sets up to attack only after going a goal down, they spend the majority of the match trying to equalise instead of scoring more or killing off an opponent.

You guys should leave my Shaw alone...hes not fat...Hes simply chubby grin


BTW MourinhoOUT.
Yesterday, the Shaw I saw is not ready to displace a pathetic Young. We must never start next season without 2 YOUNG full-backs to replace Young and give Valencia a run for his money.

In addition to my last entry, Neville said something few weeks back which I agree with. He said something like United doesn't need to buy all the top players to be great again, that what we need is for Mourinho to create an ideantity out of this team FIRST AND FOREMOST, and the add one or two additions and the team is back in business.

I agree with him, because this team have no identity yet. We look clueless till we're losing. What Pep did last season was to bring a style he wanted for his players. He went about impacting that knowledge in them. He gave them the identity he wants them to operate under, sold off the wastes that couldn't play like he did, bought the players he wanted and made them play with the style he'd already taught most of the team. What we see now is an unstoppable machine. If we like we can buy Dybala and even Neymar join. As long as Mourinho has not laid a successful pattern for the team to operate with, we're going nowhere.

If your tactic is "Do not concede or Do not lose" first then when you concede yu have to change things. That was what happened vs Palace, That offensive football Mourinho didnt want to play, the scoreline forced him to play it

Look at most of your games, you start slow, no pressing at all, if you are fortunate to score first then you try to slow down the game further and catch the opponent on counter

In cases where opponent score first you now see a renewed tactic and the team will come out aggressively, some times its too late

e.g vs City, you started lazily no pressure, City scores, Man Utd decides to press them and they get a goal, immediately they went back to sleeping. Same thing yesterday same thing vs Chelsea last week, Personnel wise, your team is superior to every team in the league why not deploy tactics that will make you dominant in every game

The way you pressed Palace in the last 35mins, thats the way teams like Liverpool and City press their opponent for 90mins

Probably thats why all your creative players are struggling, Pogba Sanchez Martial Mata Rashford have been below their best lately. They cannot all be lazy,
I agree with you 101%. Truer words have never been spoken. Pep Guardiola's teams, be it Barcelona, Bayern or City, will attack you from the first minute to the end with endless waves of pressing. By doing so, they get all the possession, put their opponents under pressure, neutralise their attacking threats. They don't relax by waiting to counter their opponents like United did against City, they relax by HOLDING THE BALL AND PASSING IT AROUND BEAUTIFULLY like against Chelsea. This way, they won't stand the chance of conceding, rather they toy with their opponents and if chance develops, they score more and more. That's why Pep said he'll retire if he stops playing attacking football.

I get really pissed that with all the pace and attacking threats we have, Mourinho will set up my team to defend and then hope for a lucky chance to score, or wait till they're losing before attacking. It's annoying. We had to be losing before Mourinho realised his mistake and attacked with vigour yesterday. It's up to Mourinho to force them to attack from the beginning till end, any player that can't adhere to his tactic, off he goes.

Lately we buy because the player was once good and he is available..we hardly buy in positions we need, how many midfielders have we bought since 2013huh
We need 2 SOLID midfielders and RW above any other position. Carrick and Fellaini are leaving and I don't trust Mctominay yet. Then the RW. If Mourinho ignores that wing next season, I'll instantly label him an incompetent coach.

United has switched to 3 - 3 - 2. Carrick has joined the Backiline.
Hopefully Valencia, Bailly and Pogba are available against Sevilla. I no wan see Smalling and Lindeolf in that line-up next week.

He was actually offside. look at the arm closely.
I'll clearly look at it again after the match.
However, the VAR delays a lot.

True boss, two good midfielders, a CB or two and one RB should solve the problem. Let's just fast and pray we buy the good ones. I actually don't mind if we defend well and hit teams on the counter, but these defenders ain't just it.
We have the worst scouts ever. How on earth did someone scout Lindeolf and Smalling and yet he's alive

There's a big difference between us and City. City have never been this horrible through out this season. We're playing nothing, absolutely nothing in the first-half.

I wonder what they do in training. How more than 70% of the first team can taper off at the same period is mysterious.

This one na Mourinho i go blame.When you train the team to not handle possession better when meeting high pressing teams, this is what happens. Once any team comes with players that close down ours quickly when in possession, we start loosing balls and playing terribly. Every team playing us know how to play against us that might work.
I'm telling myself the truth, Mourinho has lost it. I know when to blame the coach, but as for this shambolic display, Mourinho is at fault. Tell me one thing to commend about our play? What exactly is Mourinho teaching this lads in training? SMH!!

Make I no talk until after the game angry
Worst United game I've watched in a long while. Our midfield is totally collapsed. Matic and Mctominay ghosting. Our wing is dead, Mata is in the midfield. Then our defence is totally useless. How on earth are Lindeolf and Smalling still playing for us? Shaw caught napping on several occasions. His wing is dead. Sanchez not doing enough. The team is in shambles. How on earth did Mourinho deserve a new contract when his team is playing nonsense? No tactics, no good stringing of passes together. Nothing!!

Pogba matter weak me sad, for all his awesome abilities he still needs a particular position to perform. I just tire for the boy, initially Matic was meant to make things easy for him, that one has tried his best, Pogba still no gree sad, now they're planning to cough out more pounds just to unlock Pogba, the 89m+Matic never do angry.

I think the players might be taking advantage of Mou's long history of locker room revolt and discontent, making it hard for one to really point out who is at fault.
Not the players, but the press.

Nah Adelana, most of your guys here are blaming JM.
I stand with Mou 101%. If the rumors are true, and Madrid are interested in Pogba, if we can convince them to buy Pogba for 150m, he'd fùck off to Madrid. I won't miss him. I've not really liked him with his show-offs anyway. Undermining the team because Sanchez earns more than him. May thunder strike his blockos there. If he can't buckle up and help the team to win, if he can't admit that's he's been shitty these past few matches, he'd go. United comes first before any player. Nobody is begging him, he's neither Messi or Ororo. Nonsense!!

Both Roy Keane and Gattuso ve said paraphrased "that losing used to spoil their mood for days. But today, teams would lose, and one hour later, the players go don dey post selfies on the internet. They wont even find it necessary to apologise to the fans for losing and for such poor performances".

Rooney that was a striker was played all over the place in different positions. Yet mans rarely ever dropped below a 7/10 performance.
But in Pogba's case, the manager must listen to him and play him where he wants to be played. We even gats dey buy extra midfilders to be able to unlock him b4 he can perform...
I've said it before, Roy Keane may misyarn sometimes about United, but you'll never catch me offline or online disrespect that man. Maybe it's because I share some of his "olden days" mentality. These modern day players are just over-pampered crybabies with zero fûcks about their clubs. All they know is money and flashy life.

Players sacrifice all the time. Guardiola has played KDB out of position in some matches, yet the ninja keeps delivering match after match. He doesn't whine. Messi sacrificed his CF position for Suarez, yet he's delivering. Delph was played out of position, yet he's delivering. Aguero was benched in some matches after Jesus arrived, he worked hard and proved Guardiola wrong. Rashford has sacrificed his CF position and yet heaven hasn't fallen.

But with Pogba, you'll read all kinds of ridiculous excuses. Last season we debated his position all through. This season he's still in this position alongside Matic when he's in an incredible form earlier. They said Matic had liberated him to work his magic. But now that he's playing rubbish, suddenly it's the position that's to be blamed. It's only Pogba that the team MUST play to his strengths without him sacrificing to play for the team's strength. Pogba this, Pogba that. Mans can never accept he needs to do more.

I seriously doubt all these bullshît rumors, and I'll stick with Mourinho's words that it's all lies. I agree with Mourinho that Pogba just hasn't been playing well which is normal for every player. Mourinho is also not totally innocent by not realising that Pogba can't defend well, and is more suited up front.

But if it's true that Pogba is jealous of Sanchez and is using Raiola to get a pay raise, then he's very mad and thunder should fire him there!!

Funny enough, you are one of the few posters here whose post I always admire. I want to assume you didn't get my points right to warrant all these unnecessary bashing.
I take my time to read posts here when I have the time but you hardly see me post. Same applies to other football threads, I hardly troll.

My point? Pep is also human being like us who is liable to make mistakes, step on toes, 'misyarn' at times and offend too. He's not an angel let alone God. So, it's just somehow to me when whatever he now says or does is always subjected to unnecessary scrutiny especially when he's doing fine. I now see more of Pep and City's debate here than that of United.

As regards the bench issue, I applauded your submission as regards him being freed if he's not broken any rule, and if he did, he should be rightly punished.

As regards discussing Madrid on Barca thread, you only emphasised my point. Read it again sir, you will get my point. I claimed what Barca fans were criticised doing then is now what we see every minute on United thread. I don't think there should be any issue on that.

please, if you can check my posts from Barca thread to every other football threads on this forum, I am sure you cant find me trolling endlessly/unnecessarily anywhere let alone engaging in back and forth arguments. I never expected this sort of bashing, not even from a certain Siniza that I regard as one of the posters here with little or no sentiment.
I guess the order of the day now is to gun down any other club fan that posts here irrespective of whatever is posted. Check well bro, not everyone that posts is a troll.
Just seeing this now. . .


Sincere apologies from the depth of my heart if my rebuttal rubbed you off the wrong way. It's just that since the Sanchez saga ended in our favor, the kind of posts I've read from Pep's fans got me feeling some type of way.


Concerning the criticisms of Pep. I think you've got to get used to it. It comes with the territory. It's the price Pep and other coaches + players must pay for being famous. Every coach or at least most coaches will tell you they've felt bad with the kind of criticisms they've been subjected to.

Wenger has been facing barrage of criticisms, good or bad, fair or unfair, from virtually everybody. Even Arsenal's ex-players have called for his sack. Celebrity fan like Piers Morgan want him out. He gets abused monthly on Arsenal FanTV.

Klopp nko? He's always under pressure. You see the likes of Carragher and Gary on his case, condemning his players, his choice of goalkeepers etc.

Mourinho's own is like everyday greeting.

What about Conte? If you feel Pep gets the worst criticism then you must have not heard about Conte complaining that media is biased towards him.

Papers must sell. Pundits must write. Analysts must scrutinise every move. They get paid that way. It's the source of their incomes. Fans must discuss and dissect their decisions. It's something that's been happening before I was born, it will never stop. It's not different from what Trump or Buhari faces every day of their regins. And even after their tenure, they'd still be talked about. So, long after Pep is gone, he'll still be talked about, his positives, praised; his negatives, laid to bare. Just get used to it.
