Red card well deserved! Why take out the guys shin? Let's go and rack up the goals in the 2nd half and make this a 5 or 6 nil win!

PietroRico:
We need to pump these guys by as many goals as possible.
Our goal difference is disgraceful

elrony:


What am I not doing right? Pass me the 411 before Diggz come leapfrog me!

elampiro:
Bailly almost gifted Anichebe an easy goal, but thanks to Romero. If it were Smalling or Jones that mistake wouldn't have gone unnoticed on this thread. I am surprised no one mentioned it.

Our finishing, understanding and decision making are poor.

How's it Pep Guardiola's fault that Stones is not living up to his hype?

How's it Klopp's fault that Mignolet and the players of Liverpool couldn't win matches in January and cost Liverpool the title?

How's it Enrique's fault that Barça players didn't play well yesterday and lost.

Why is Pep fingered for Bayern's inability to go past the semis, is he the one that told the players not outscore their opponents or told Muller to miss a PK?

Why is Pep called a fraud is it his fault that Debruyne is hitting the woodwork or City's strikers are missing goals?

Why label Mourinho's tenure a failure at Madrid is he the one that told Madrid players not to win the UCL?

Answer these questions and see how funny you sounded in your post. Your post deserves no answer, really.

How many matches has Zlatan cost us, Who TF asked him to sign an old man?..

Things that happen outside the field also affects performance. For example you don't expect someone that is bereaved to give his best on the pitch.

SIRcumalot:

bailly get him detractors.
Pietrorico na number 1 and don forget the other guy.
if anichebe get small sense that na easy penalty because everybody see that leg wey bailly stick out.

Hmm I wonder why

Every facet of the game is within the purview of of the manager.
You might ask well ask why should they blame a manager for a team conceding goals from set pieces or conceding lots of goals.
There is something called A TRAINING SESSION where the manager is meant to lead his players and ensure the players work on their shortcomings and improve on them.
The lack of good finishing calls into question not JM's tactical acumen but his training methods.
What time do they spend working on shape,defensive solidity and possession and what time and methods do they have to improve finishing in front of goal.
If finishing is poor for a few games you can blame bad luck but if it is for a whole season then one has to look deeper.

1. stones was never a good defender to begin with

2. Liverpool's poor form in Jan was temporary, something every manager pass through, mignolet isn't that great

3. no manager is expected to win all the time, sir Alex lost matches too, was it because he changed tactics? no

4. i don't know

5. pep is called a fraud because he had it easy in the Spanish and German leagues where we know there isn't competition, pep's tactic in the premier league can be called into question too, city are actually converting their chances unlike united, question pep who wanted a ball playing goal keeper and defenders

6. him not winning the champions league is not a constant thing as he has won it twice before, refer back to number 3


now lets stick to the topic, cause honestly I don't see the correlation between the whys and my question

mourinho bought very good players, no?

our major problem this season have been our conversion rate which is a constant, are you trying to tell me that mourinho is to be blamed for our poor and constant conversion rate? we create many chances don't we? is mourinho to be blamed for ibrahimovic, mkhitaryan or rashford's inability to score simple tap ins?

if we were not creating the chances then we can question mourinho's tactics, but we are creating loads of chances, how is it mourinho's fault that the players are not killing them off?

how many chances did we create under van gaal? van gaal was obsessed with passing the ball, which called his tactics into question

you can't blame a coach for his players' inability to score simple tap ins

I teach you how to cook, you cooked well, do you still expect me to teach you how to eat?

raumdeuter:


How is it Mourinhos credit when Strikers score goals some from unlikely scenarios. Did Mourinho teach those strikers how to score goals?

So if Mourinho gets credit when strikers score and win games then why isn't he at fault when they miss chances?

dopeJemi:


do you really believe mourinho hasn't tried to work on that aspect of our game? the same players that score the goals are the ones that miss those chances, how can we blame mourinho for that?

there are somethings you can blame a coach for, like poor chances creation, poor or wrong set up, wrong tactics etc but not players missing tap ins or goals from close range

we can only question the quality of players bought by the manager in this instance

Spy360:

Psychology.

Mourinho gives his players poor psychology.

Strikers need confidence. A manager should be able to instill confidence in his players by supporting them when output is low and not comparing or publicly calling them out.

dopeJemi:


is it Pep's fault that aguero is missing seaters?

he will get the credit because he teaches them how to take their chances and not miss them

poor tactics don't lead to missing tap ins

dopeJemi:


an old man that has 28 goals and 9 assists

afrodoc2:


He was happy with the players before the season started. He said so himself.
He assessed the squad and asked for 4 players to add and he got all 4.
Why is he now crying for Chicharito?
The man has no hiding place in this situation.
It is either he chose the wrong players to start the season or he is not able to implement the right training methods to improve the finishing of our forwards.
ALL our forward players have in previous seasons shown that they have it within them to finish better than they have done this season, so what is happening this season?

Gyalchester:


Nigga so?...

afrodoc2:


But poor training can. Managing a team is more than just tactics. Training methods are important and then man management also.

dopeJemi:


it's not like ibrahimovic doesn't have 28goals and 9 assists, its not like pogba doesn't have 7 goals and some assists, it's not like mkhitaryan doesn't have 8 goals some assists

I am not defending mourinho, he has gotten it wrong so many times this season, I am not denying that, but i refuse to blame him for the inability of players to score simple tap ins
