And who do you think planted that determination in their minds?

My grandfather did. It seems people take turns to misyarn on this thread.
Let's keep Mourinho till he relegates the team.

"I just think the way he is going about his business,
I don't think he is getting the best from the players.
This team has some unbelievable attacking players
but I don't think they are on the front foot enough, I
don't think they are playing at a quick enough
tempo and I don't think they move the ball enough.

They give teams a chance to get back and get
organised.
"He has so many options going forwards, it is a
shame that he wants to play the way that he wants
to play. It didn't work last year against a rampant
Manchester City and if things aren't working you
have to learn from your mistakes and change
something. He needs to change but he just seems
to be too stubborn to alter his approach."

Lee Sharp

"What is his best XI? I don't think he has a clue what his best XI is,"
"The problem for Manchester United is you look at the other teams and they know exactly what they are trying to do and how they are trying to play, and I have never seen a team lacking so much desire to get back into a game.
"How much more money can you throw at the problem? He has bought [Victor] Lindelof and [Eric] Bailly and they looked so poor today, why would you trust him to spend more money?"
Redknapp captured it perfectly.

SIRcumalot:
the type of manager that understands his usefulness to his team.
hold darmain back how ?
he said darmain can leave when a suitable deals comes in for him. a suitable deal didn't

Suitable deal for someone as useless as that? So Pep waisted for suitable deals before clearing his deadweight?.
Let's discuss intelligently here bro. The day a manager deems a player 'surplus to requirement' is the day he leaves.
Agent are there to find clubs and earn fees.
Fact remains that your man wants mercenaries as a quick fix to this rot but unfortunately, the board is yet to see any positives from all the money spent so far in his era.

I need you to explain why after 3 years, there is still no cohesion in this team and the team always labors to create chances not piece attacks together?.....

SIRcumalot:
na only fellani jose don actively campaign make them give am new contract. e no do am for any other person.

Why did he hold Darmian back? What manner of idiot renews Fellaini's contract?
Accept it bro, we should be playing better even with these current players.The team always looking clueless and bereft of ideas. Now that's a manager's issue.

Neymar1095:
Shut up that useless mouth of yours. Pep played Puyol at RB, Toure as makeshift CB, Pique who wasnt even the first choice
CB as the other CB, Grandpa Sylvinho at LB, and yet still destroyed your fraud in a champions league final. Don't ever disrespect pep again by putting him and Ferguson in the same sentence

Are you on your period?. Go get a pad sissiy.

SIRcumalot:
how do you clear a squad of player nobody wants who are all on terrible contracts ?
have asked this question before maybe this time i will finally cure myself of this ignorance

Darmian was wanted but he choose him over TFM. The scam said he is trusting on young and fellaini going into the season. So who exactly are the bad players?.
Let me state it here once more. Mourinho has no idea what he is doing ATM and needs to take a walk.
After 3 fucking years, his team still can't string passes together.
Anybody saying we needed more quality players to beat BRIGHTON should sign into a mental home.
Mourinho needs to leave!

afrodoc2:
Since that one started commenting on this thread he has not made a single reasonable or sensible comment. Makes me realize that the people that were carrying last in school when we dey top the class did not all die.

Dayum!!!!. Well, you are not far from the truth. Dude stinks the whole place with senseless comments.

Melvyn11:
The attack scored 2,it was the defence that conceded 3.

I won't expect you to know that the special scam signed both CBs for yesterday's game. Accept it, Mourinho has long past his best and has nothing except excuses to offer.

elampiro:
That is why you guys no know ball.

If we played 7 world cup players and Matic, Valencia, Sanchez and Martial we would have won.

Chai. So this guy has been trolling us since. lol

eph12:
In defence of Mourinho, Brighton has better players. Mourinho needs to buy more players before his team can talk of putting up a challenge against Brighton

Lol. Things we hear on nairaland. I remember how Fergie best Arsenal with a ragtag team. I think we had Fabio and park as MCs in that game.
Most times, it's not really about the quality of players alone, the gaffers matter a lot and unfortunately, we have an expired product as manager.

elampiro:
I don't expect you to understand that our senior players were not in Preseason, which is unique problem to us. Martial added his own. Match, Valencia and Sanchez are injured.

I never expected you to understand Spurs had same issues and still play beautifully.
Give it a rest. Your argument is becoming rather embarrassing.

And I quote someone...

Manchester United: one of those teams you watch and wonder what on Earth they do in training all week.

elampiro:
Look at the number of our senior players at the world cup semi finals, unlike Liverpool whose players were knockout early.

Manchester United had the highest number of players in world cup quarter final and semi final.

How many of our regulars were at the Preseason? Those who were there got injured.

Don't worry. Everybody will come back soon enough. I will bookmark this page for you.

elampiro:
Proven in which club? Please don't mention Madrid with Ronaldo, Ramos, Marcelo, Isco, Modric, etc. Mourinho started that work sef.

Tell me where else Zidane has done it. This was same theory we used in rating Van Gaal when Arjen Robben was carrying Holland.

Your scam has Sanchez, De Gea, Pogba,Matic. We are not even asking him to win anymore, let him just teach them how to string passes together and look like a team. Bloody fraud!

codedguy1:
Elamps is trolling!!

Obviously.

Anybody suggesting we needed 'quality' players to beat fucking Brighton should take up a career as a comedian.

elampiro:
I know what it means to try to play ball after like one or two months break. You will not be able to trap ball sef. Control and passing will be hard. Look at Martial today after his 'maternity' leave.

But these guys will play well from about two weeks from now.

Wow, so City and Spurs players didn't get the break?.
I think you are missing the point. The fact is that your scam has no pattern of play and is super clueless which rubs off on players. That's why most of the players are looking overrated to you.

elampiro:
You will still say this about Zidane in two years to come.

It was same with Moyes and Gaal.

In Zizou's young career so far, he has proven he doesn't need to 'spend' to win trophies and play beautiful football.
Something your Mourinho cannot manage right now.

nitrogen:
Give him more money, after buying 11 players? Let him first motivate the ones on ground!

You are funny!

The scam has spent over £300m and we have not seen anything to show for it. No sane board would trust that guy with spending again.
Let him show ROI on what he has spent already. fraud!

elampiro:
What is FA Cup? Lucky game.

Mourinho finished second last season with 81 points. Same points Leicester won the league with.

Give him money to buy players to compete and motivate even the players already on ground, they refused.

Let him not do again. He should just go. God bless the board for refusing to waste money on the clown's fantasies.

elampiro:
It is not what they spent, but what they met on ground. Between 2012/13 and 201572016 did City not win the league? Did City not finish above United in the league every season? Did City not finish in the UCL semi final?

In that period, United finished out of top 4 position twice.

How many times has

Mourinho inherited a team of FA cup champions, was given enough funds and 3 long years to build a team.
Please how long does it take to teach your players how to pass to one another?
How long does it take to build a system of play?.What system of play would you call what Mourinho serves us weekly?.
There is no way to spin this, this team has regressed badly and for the amount spent so far, Mourinho should be hanged.

elampiro:
Be mindful of your words. Don't insult people.

Can't see any insult there jare. I have tried to stay off this Mourinho argument as it pisses me off greatly.

Anyway, it's time to quit watching this team as long as the special scam is still there.

Nihilstjnr:
una don start again ba?

Yes nah. How many world class players do you have in Spurs? maybe 2. Liverpool? maybe same.
United's problem is MOURINHO. If you like, sign Messi and Mbappe for him, after months they will start looking overated to you.

elampiro:
The team will do better when players get fit. But these players are not world beaters.

Money spent not an issue because City has been spending since about 10 years to get to where they are. Remember the likes if Robinho, Adebayo, Lescot, Dzeko, Baloteli, Miner, Zabeleta, Clinchy, Nasri, and dozens more who were used for experiment before they won their first EPL title. Ferguson's refusal to spend is what other coaches who came after him are suffering. It would have still be okay if he bought such players like Lucas Moura, Hazard and Aguero. He always wanted cheap alternatives.

That tells you that 'spending' alone doesn't cut it. City were spending a lot under wrong managers until they decided to go for quality in Pep. That being said, there is no much difference between what both managers have spent so far at both clubs.
The difference is that while one knows how to improve and make players effective, the other is super clueless.
What's the need paying that idiot so much when we can just hire Tony Pulis and open the vault for him. I am sure he would win trophies with 11 world class players starting in his team every week.

elampiro:
The players are mostly average. The more we watch Martial, the more we see he is overrated.

Ferguson was the one who left a big gap in succession plan.

Nonsense! Martial became overated under Mourinho, Raahford became overated under Mourinho, Sanchez looking overrated under Mourinho, Pogba became overated under Mourinho.
The joke is really on you. Put this present UTD team side by side with Spurs or Liverpool and see that there is no much difference in quality. Guess the difference? we have a very clueless Manager who has past his best by years.

Bailly and Lindelof not good enough? guess who signed them....... The fact remains that Mourinho has absolutely nothing to offer.
Let's just assume he was let down when the board failed to get him his defender, but is that the reason the team labors to create and convert chances? is that the work of the defenders?

This is going to be a very long and painful season for us. brace up yall!

Adisaowalla:
Mourihno's net spend in just over 2 years at the club is a whopping £302m - the irony is that na him buy those 2 CBs wey you dey slander today so I really don't get your point.

Common - Are you saying that a team parading the likes of Pogba, Matic, Martial, Lukaku , Sanchez etc isn't good enough to mount a credible title challenge with good football?? How exactly are the likes of laporte, stones etc @ city even better than our CBs?



Mourihno is failing us big time & he had better shape up or ship out!!!

I am beginning to question Elampiro's sanity. After spending over £300m, the special scam has been able to assemble a team that plays the worst type of football ever known to mankind and someone is still here making excuses?.

elampiro:
How many coaches will succeed with these players? How many will still be self motivated and self believing to work hard as Mourinho when things are not working out well and money to buy players not forth coming? Zidane will just resign.

Are you being sarcastic here or just one of those nights for you? What sort of flawed reasoning is this?. Money for buying players not coming forth? Mourinho working hard?.
Dude please just go and sleep please.

Souness believes that the team's style of play is a concern. "There is nothing wrong with being direct but this is Manchester United, arguably the biggest club in the world, playing football that was played by teams from a lower league 30 or 40 years ago," he added. "It's lump it forward, play off the bits and see where we go from that. Manchester United have to be better than that. This is a club that needs to be dining at the top table and with this group of players that isn't going to happen any time soon."

Butterflyleo:
You are wrong.

"Has moved" per statistics is also based on realistic projections based on realities on ground

Projection is 'will move to " "is expected to move". Stop embarrassing the sane world please.

Only a mentally deranged fellow would argue against these facts. PDP was bad, APC is horrible!
