Nihilist:I'm sure that cuppa tea is cold. Fake tea. ![]() From that match that you guys are trolling us with, you'll see that Ukaku wasnt shoehorned in the LB position. See his heat map, he's mostly based in the final-third of the opponents' half, dragging defenders out wide to get some space. His heat map at the LB is very faint indicating that he only went there at the ending period of the match to defend our lead which Mourinho pointed out. Few seconds at the LB position me and nada when compared to his main heat map for most of the match. Cc: Griffon

Griffon:Can you please list all the matches that Mourinho "shoe-horned Ukaku into the LB position EVERY NOW AND THEN"?. Since you love facts, it shouldn't take you time to list about 4 matches this has happened because judging from your "every now and then" words, this tactic has been happening for a long time now. Please, I don't need one example, I need multiple examples. Also note that, in the Brighton match, Ukaku was never shoehorned into the LB position. When Zlatan was brought in for Mourinho, Ukaku moved to the wings. In the new set-up, Ukaku was no longer a CF, but a winger/wing-forward. In a 4-2-3-1 formation, the winger serves as an extra layer of protection in front of the full-back behind him when the team is defending. That's exactly what happened. Ukaku lost the ball in his winger position and tracked back like every other winger does to help Valencia out to thwart the threat. How's that "shoehorning" Ukaku into a LB? Or you'd have preferred Ukaku to be lackadaisical and allow Valencia to be exposed so that should Brighton equalise you'd be here with your fellow Shekpites to party? |
sinizia:Cc: Nihilist, Raumdeuter, CapitalCee, Leyqute, Diggz, et al. What's your opinion? |
elrony:Walayi, I had to read those lines thrice to try and find out the sexual harassment therein, but till now no clue at all. These people are taking this madness too far. |
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/what-idiot-andy-townsend-sparks-11599894 What do you guys think of this sudden madness where every speech is misconstrued to mean sexual harassment especially when a lady is at the receiving end? A time might come when we might be forbidden to speak at all to avoid being accused of sexual harassment. How is calling a woman "love" a sexual harassment? I use such endearing words occasionally, so I don't see the big deal there. Oyinbos get too much wahala. |
Nihilist, on the face value, that statement from Mourinho seem to portray a coach that's on a mission to make his striker defensive, but that's not the truth. What Mourinho was praising was Ukaku's attitude. The way he tracked back to win a ball he lost and helped ensured that we didn't concede by the final whistle. Brighton were the ones that parked the bus and hit us on the counter which worked for them, but during the closing period of that match, Brighton tried to push forward to equalise and Ukaku helped defend our lead. I don't think what Mourinho said is wrong. I hate defensive game so much, but at the ending stage of a match, I don't mind a team defending to protect a lead. |
raumdeuter:Which foul? It wasn't anything serious, if it was, he'd have been banned like Niasse. We're always innocent, and you know it. |
(though examination of the television footage suggested the linesman had got it spot on and the ball did touch Gross’s foot after Romelu Lukaku’s sliding tackle).http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/11/26/man-united-rely-big-lads-thwart-chris-hughtons-brighton-plan/ United vindicated again, as always, no surprises here. Our image is squeaky clean. ![]() Cc: Diggz and Raumdeuter. ![]() |
I've said it before, Mhiki na Mata ghost twin. |
Leyqute:The miss made me speechless. |
Who's that Swansea player with the miss of the season? |
Lindeolf was good today. |
We need to score one more to avoid pressure at the ending stages. |
Nice shot, Ibra |
Pheew. We get lucky today. |
chrisley024:Did you how he's been exploited few mins ago? I'm not blaming him too much sha coz he's not a natural LB. |
chrisley024:Attack wise he did okay, but defensively in that first-half, his position was porous. |
raumdeuter:Why were you quiet when Assnal use anger dey rob Tottenham last week. ![]() |
diggz:Brighton what? I didn't hear you the first time. Repeat it. ![]() |
Brighton got served. This is what you get when you park too much bus - HEARTBREAK!! |
Best deflection ever |
Gooooaaalllll |
diggz:Come to think of it, we're still in party mood for Nihilist's new son, is not right to continue the celebrations with Loserfool victory? ![]() |
Thunder will fire Mourinho if he pushes Ukaku to the wings for Ibra. |
diggz:If God no go allow am, how come we've been escaping from being goals down? Na coz Baba God wants the party here not on ours. ![]() |
What Brighton is doing to us is what we'd have done to Loserfool. Defend and still counter, not defend all through. |
adebayo201:
|
diggz:We go share am. After today's party here, after 3 days of non-stop partying here, we'll move to our thread for that of Basel's. But party must go down here. Man's not hot. |
Mata is not better than Mhiki. Fuckkkkkkkk!! |
chrisley024:Bailly should be back by then, so if we fûck up offensively, we'd be able to keep it tight defensively. |
raumdeuter:A bus without the personnels to pull it off? KDB and Silva will find the slightest space to carve us open. |
We need to get our shît together before we meet Man Shitty. If we play this poorly against them, we're toast!! |
