Which career? Does he have one? Jack of all trade, master of none! That's what our dear Herrera is.. I'll have Koke over him every day!
He's a master in this considering the fact that that's not his natural position. This is what your lord failed to see in him. You and your lord definitely have glaucoma for not seeing anything good in him.

These are his stats:

Tackles. 5/5 the highest of the two teams.

Ball recoveries. 10. Co with Henderson

Tackles. 7. Highest of the two teams

Interceptions. 11. Highest of the two teams

And this his not his natural position.

If you prefer Koke to him, it's better you go and join him in LA Liga because we don't have any player that bears that name in our team.

Na the hustle and puffing people dey praise him for when beta midfielders such as Koke are getting lauded for their creativity and tempo play? Mtxchew!

Why didn't we win the league in the previous season then?

The funny thing is we looked lethargy and sluggish with little creativity while Rvp consistently bailed us out on many occasion that season. The title was all on Rvp and Carrick that season.

And I never said Rooney was always on the bench. I said he was fighting everyone and looked rubbish because he got benched by fergie.
I've proven this in the past where the importance of RVP won us the league.

Rooney missed some games where RVP was key for us winning games. If not for the fact that we had RVP, we wouldn't have won that league.

MATA HAS FOUND 'NATURAL HABITAT' AT MAN UTD - MOURINHO

The United boss believes the Spaniard is made for the 20-time English champions despite having previously offloaded the attacker at Chelsea
Jose Mourinho has claimed that Juan Mata has found his “natural habitat” at Manchester United following recent reports that the Spaniard is set to sign a new contract at Old Trafford.

Despite speculation in the summer that Mourinho could again offload the player he watched depart his former club Chelsea for United in January 2014, Mata has been a key member of the Portuguese’s outfit so far this season, prompting the club to undergo talks over a longer-term deal.
And Mourinho, speaking ahead of Thursday’s crucial Europa League fixture at home to Zorya Luhansk, insisted that Mata has the right qualities to deliver his best for his Manchester United side.

“[Chelsea] were playing in a defensive block when we won the title in 2014-15, and it’s one thing having players for that and another having players trying to play in a different way and we are trying to play in a different way," said Mourinho.
“He is very adaptive with his qualities. He has found a very good natural habitat with us.”

Mourinho also defended his role in Chelsea’s decision to sell Mata to the Red Devils for £37.5 million in the winter transfer window in 2013-14.
"First of all, I didn’t sell him. My job is not to buy and sell. My job is to coach, to work on the pitch and to advise my board about the transfer policy.
“Secondly, it was Juan that asked to leave and when a player asks to leave I think always you have to think twice.
“And the third point is that my idea for football with the squad and objectives we had at Chelsea is one thing, and the squad I have at Man United and the profile and what I try to do with this club is a completely different situation.

“So Juan at Chelsea in my project was one player, and Juan in my project at Man United is another thing.”
Mata bagged a goal and an assist in Saturday’s impressive 4-1 victory over Premier League champions Leicester City at Old Trafford having been chosen in the number 10 position at the expense of club captain Wayne Rooney.
The 28-year-old attacker has 21 months remaining on his current contract, but a new deal could well see him remaining at Old Trafford well into his thirties.

Well whether he's given more time or not, that's Sunderland's business. I'm just happy he's still the same old useless manager that we sacked two years ago.


And all that talk of buying his type of players na story. Yes i know Sunderland got some very average players. But Klopp did well with the players Rodgers left for him last season.

So Moyes no even get excuse.
You should get my sarcasm in that. That was for those who said we should've given him more time.

Lmao. When we told u Moyes was useless, u were lamenting, telling us he wasn't given enough time at United.

Ur role model and local hero just lost at home after leading 2-0. Na only Jehovah Jireh fit save u and Moyes at this rate. Losers!!
He should be given more time to save them from relegation na.

In fact, they should give him till end of the season so that he can buy more of his type of players next season.

Herrera was solid against a sluggish Drinkwater, Amarte and a lethargic Slimali in the midfield in the 1st half. If they had Okazaki/Gray/Schlup in the first half, it would have been different because these players hardly slack in their pressing game.

And no, it wasn't just once but multiple times, He and that Schlup of a guy were waltzing through our midfield after they came on. Even Amarte with his improved pressing gave us a good run in the midfield in the second half.
And what do you have to say about your Lingard against Gray's goal? It seems you didn't see that under your canopy.

Continue to wallow in your hatred.

You and Tess1 reason and apply logic like kindergarten pupils.
Lol!

Your logic is that because Pogba was better than Rooney in a game, then he should start the next game. No sane person will even apply such logic and that's absurdity of the highest order coming from your reasoning.

Considering the question posted, my answer warranted no further questioning. He asked for one reason and I gave him an excellent reason. Anyone who debated it further, like your self is an olodo.



Only a mooron would ask further question after my response. This new question made no sense. Even kindergarten pupils would have known this applying simple logic.

If you keep belabouring this, I would assume you are a mooron.



If your the new mooronic question was not asked, then Pogba wouldn't have come into the conversation.
You'll always live up to your dunce status on this thread.

It is only a dunce like you that'll use Pogba's poor performance as a criteria for Rooney to start a game.

You need some heavy slaps for us to see if your very low thinking faculty can be slapped out of your brain. Certified oponu.

Always go back to basics. Sharpen your memory or you borrow one. Someone said I should give reason why Rooney should start against Leicester and if I had a good reason he would give up. I have him a superb reason that the only game Rooney didn't start became our worst match in terms of performance.

Instead of him to surrender in peace, he came for more trouble where I will shatter him into piece.
You are really not disappointing in this your response.
Your thinking faculty is so low. Someone asked you why Rooney should start against Leicester. You answered by saying that the only game Rooney didn't start became our worst match in terms of performance.

Then, I asked you that what happened after he was started against Watford? You answered by saying that he was better than Pogba.

Now, if your thinking faculty isn't low, where did Pogba's performance come into that conversation? When did Pogba's performance became the criteria for Rooney to start a game?

Your case is a pathetic one.

He was better than Pogba.
I am so sorry for the way you reason. Who's talking about Pogba here? You said we lost when he was rested in Europa and i asked you what happened after he was restored against Watford. You are now bringing Pogba in. So it's because he was better than Pogba that made us lost that game or what?

This is a big lie. All the hourly stories on that page are about Rashford, Ibrahimovic, DDG, Bailly, Herrera, etc. The players and little about the coach. There appear to even be more SAF's posts than Mourinho.

From my investigation so far, the page was opened when Gaal was sacked. When I have time I will look at it properly.

The most important thing is the interest of the posters about the club. They are even blaming Mourinho for the team's poor play.


.
"The page was opened when Gaal was sacked" This buttresses my point that it is not a Man Utd Fans page. So Man Utd Fans started existing immediately after Gaal was sacked when most people already knew JM was going to be the next coach.

Do you expect them to be posting stories related to Terry, Willian, Costa, Azpi, Oscar and all other Chelsea players when he's Man Utd coach? I shake my head for you on that comment.

It is a United fan page dedicated to Jose Mourinho's era in the club. It's first about the club.

This is unlike your redcafe or Sun news where Liverpool fans run the show.
Oh! so you expected them to be posting Chelsea or Real Madrid matches.

Man Utd isn't about Jose Morinho. Coaches come and go. Show me where anything about Man Utd's history is mentioned there. Everything on that page is about Morinho.

It's a United fan page. All the posters there are United fans. These are real humans who tell how they go to Stadium to watch our matches. Verifiable 'real humans'

Unlike you guys bringing polls from robbot sites like reddit, bluecafe, cybercafe or other news outlets dominated by Liverpool followers like the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, Telegrams, etc.
That's not a Man Utd Fans page.

A page where they wrote what he won at Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid. Also, they wrote his biography and his individual honours. You call that Man Utd Fans page? What about Man Utd history? Don't we have history anymore? Or is it that we've suddenly become José Morinho Utd?

This guy will bring up anything just to defend Rooney.

Could this be the reasons why it'll be hard for any coach to drop Rooney?

Lol!

Is this a Man Utd fans page or Jose Mourinho's fans page?

I didn't even bother reading further once I saw the name of the page.

Somebody brought a poll that was conducted by Man Utd fans and you are now using a Mourinho fan page to discredit the poll.

Also, Red Issue also conducted a poll on the same issue and 99% voted for Rooney to be dropped. These are credible polls.

Lol.

He was told to give a link but he's posting few selected comments. Of course, you'll always have some people still supporting Rooney like him. Like having about 200 comments and having about 20/30 comments supporting him out of 200. Does that mean majority of the people that commented still see him as a good player?

He should just provide the link and let's read for ourselves to be able to judge.

I'm surprised kagawa10 didn't say anything about these passes analysis. If it were Herrera that made those passes, he wouldn't have let us hear word. He would have been saying majority of his passes were sideways and backward passes.

seems my write up was a bit confusing, i was not trying to say that the midfield trio of afro man, wazza and pogba weren't poor, am just saying that we've good options in the midfield that [if combined right] would make our midfield good

its a shame our own fans can't even address and analyze our own games, some are just set out at lambasting pogboon at any given chance, pogba even said that his best position is on the left side of midfield yet people are yarning bullocks, pogba is not a no.10 neither is he a CM in a pivot, and our problem is not in the midfield we have a very strong midfield, what surprises me is that we are not questioning our wingers and wing play, one of our best player last season have been struggling yet some folks don't think its a big deal instead they are busy pointing fingers at pogba and rooney, many have forgotten that in Jose's team his wingers are very important to his tactics
some even said José's tactic's is all about counter attack, but how can we counter when our wingers are playing like ghosts anyone who haven't been followings man utd and decides to watch us for the first time would think Valencia and shaw/pogba are our wingers
and those of us saying mous tactics has been found out should take a chill pill if jose don't succeed here then manutd are in a deep mess.
I totally disagree with " our problem is not in the midfield we have a very strong midfield".
Our midfield yesterday was very poor. We lacked creativity and pace in that midfield. A midfield where Pogba and Rooney who were the most advanced in the three couldn't create any chance in open play. Fellaini as limited as he is created two chances from open play. Does this not tell is where the problem lies? None of them can play make. One is always making the simplest things look difficult.

JM needs to make a tough decision in that our midfield if our play is to improve. We have Carrick and Teiger who can dictate play and easily rotate them because of age and injury. I can't blame the defence so much because of the combination of the midfielder he's using.

Don't make me laugh.

At old trafford for example when Drinwater got sent off and we were piling in the pressure, it was Morgan who blocked out most of our chances.. He was Leicester's best player in the game.

In the game yesterday, First and foremost, Simpson has always been a poor defender from the start. Besides, he got injured and was replaced by one unknown player who looked 10 times worse. There was also Fuchs whose age is now telling on his side because he was very awful vs Mane. Then, their average midfield..

So cut Leicester defenders some slack..
Lol!

So Simpson is now a poor defender. This same Simpson was there throughout last season. I told you last season that part of the reasons he's not being exposed was that he had a stable defense coupled with Kante shielding their defense. Smalling on the other hand didn't have a settled back four and our midfield wasn't doing anything to protect him. Age is now telling on a 30yr old defender Fuchs? Okay o.

That's what I always say about you. Was yesterday's game the only game they have played this season? Go and watch all the games they've played since the Community shield. How about his first game of the season. Was it not also in the first game of the season that he was used to wipe the pitch as well?

Diademk07:
They lost possession because they had no space to operate. Both are players who depends a lot on space..

Dropping so deep even made it worse for them. Check out Debryune performance for City against us last season. He was shite because he had to drop so deep since City couldn't control the midfield against a certain Carrick who was fantastic in the match..

A 3-man midfield had the midfield closer to the attack and ensures there's lot of space for our wing forwards to drift in.

Mkhi and Lingard were hardly players that flies down the wing and takes on fullbacks like Jose was expecting of them.
Nobody is saying they should be hugging the wings.

So because there was no space, they lose possession anyhow and couldn't fight for the ball? Continue with the excuses.

LOL..
Did you even watch the game?

Morgan and Huth looked solid with few lapse here or there, it was their fullbacks and Midfield that let Leicester down.

Back to our game, I repeat no one knows how Smalling would have performed yesterday. No be the same Smalling wey dey wrap himself around opponent like a lover we're talking about?
No, I didn't watch the game. I followed your commentary under the canopy.

Are the fullbacks not the same they had last season? So, you now know the midfield (Kante) was protecting them last season. The same Morgan that Lingard used to wipe the pitch?
