Mourinho's decision to try to match Stoke strength for strength meant Blind and Mata didn't start. Although he was always going to rotate the team at some point, either to please some key players who are on bench or keep his players fresh. We should have matched them technique for strength as we did against West Ham. At the end the draw was not the end of the world. It was somewhat a fair result. The two players we have praised so much caused us the two goals. Bailly and Jones. Young players will always make mistakes, even Ramos used to make mistakes just a few years ago. Bailly needs to track his man back, it was his lack of tracking his man that led to the corner which resulted to Jones error. Jones on his part should learn not to give away free headers like that. Lukaku could have won us the game but he failed to finish a good chance. On to the next game. |

Louis van Gaal has accused Manchester United of hanging him out to dry with his controversial sacking after he had led the club to FA Cup glory. Van Gaal always held a dignified silence over the sacking, but, that was until now. Speaking to the Mirror he’s let rip over his dismissal claiming that United hung him out to dry: “United put my head in a noose and I was publicly placed on the gallows. The pressure was enormous with my head in the noose and they went right behind my back. “I think it was all orchestrated like a film and it was done very much behind my back right from January. My wife, Truus, told me that the attitude of the board had changed. Women have this intuition. They smell it. “I denied it, even to my wife, because between me as a manager and the chief executive Ed Woodward, everything was running as normal. “Suddenly former players started to yap in the media that we were playing boring football and Mourinho's sacking made it very attractive for everyone to keep bashing me. “Suddenly, Mourinho was out after one-and-a-half years of my contract and I knew United wanted him one day. They told me only after it was leaked out and it was the biggest disappointment of my life. “United did not discuss this with me. If they had come to me with the Mourinho plan then I could have said ‘okay, let’s give it everything for the last six months, complete commitment to each other and the team and then Jose Mourinho can take over.’ “They could have saved the last year of my salary by doing that but after what happened I made them pay every penny.” [Source: Mirror] |

metodman: Dont understand your point. At some point he needs to rotate that's what he did. You are saying this because we drew the match. What if a bench player is given a start and performs excellently well but the regulars were fatigued from playing too many games and we lose, will you blame Jose again for overplaying the regular players. Its a squad and there are many games to go round. The coach needs tto find a way to rotate. We need to understand that. |

Mystic1: What are you even saying. Both goals came from Baily not tracking chupo monting and Jones falling like a kitten instead of marking the same player again. Everyone knows teams like stoke feed on set pieces. Then it's only normal that every player is at alert when stoke have a set piece but no.. thats when Jones choose to bundle over. What i said was in reference to the fact that what we need are wingers with good crosses on them. We don't get those from Mikhi or Rashford instead they offer a different dimension to our game which is pace, dribbling and trickery. I expected more crosses fron our full backs yesterday, none came. The fault of yesterday's match was Mourinho's wrong selection not transfers gaffe. Blind has always had a good cross in him and with the tall players in our squad we don't utilize that advantage enough. Instead he plays the slow, insipid Darmian who can't defend or attack to save his life and we saw from the first goal. They say if it's not broken, don't change it. We suffered for it yesterday. You pulling out my old posts when we were playing Valencia, Bailly, Jones and Blind and were sturdy doesn't make sense in this case. Blame the manager for his selctions and possibly instructions because this guys don't cross the ball. Valencia had acres of space to whip in a one time cross many times yesterday instead he decides to pass back or run down his usual path which everybody knows. Blind who can give good crosses too... no where. Mourinho set his team to play the style of football stoke love playing against. That is why they have a great record against the big teams who play on the ground and a bad record against the small teams who go route one. This was the obvious thing to do against them. Go route one and crossing like they do. |

All through the summer, I had hoped Mou will go for a left back and not Perisic we were chasing all summer. Shaw better comes through or be shown the door, I really don't give a fvck if he blossom elsewhere... Another area where we got it wrong was adapting our play to match Stoke, Stoke City oh! Not Barcelona or Madrid or Juventus, fvcking Stoke...Mourinho shouldn't have altered the formation and personnel, not against Stoke...We were better towards the end with Mata and Martial who are more technical and fluent with the ball... Rashford also needs to be reminded that it's not all about pace, it's necessary he uses his brain too, was really annoying watching run into defenders... We should revert back to the basis for the visit of Basle, 3 pts or nothing... |

![]() So Dudes are still over it till now?! What actually is wrong with the Result?! We have a Champions League Match to play this Week Dudes..... I think it's time to move on. Darmian is extremely poor to be candid. And I would say he caused us the 3 Points. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:47am On Sep 10, 2017 |
JM is partly to blame for this result. He has not changed his ways. If he is changing formation for Stoke i wonder what he will do for Chelsea and Man City ( park the bus again i guess). And it was not like he even rested important midfielders. He played all of them but just put them in positions that they do not thrive in.....Pogba at 10 and Mikki on the RW for instance. That 10 position should be reserved for Mikki or Mata. Pogba should be in CM with Matic or Herrera. We have to try Martial, Rashford and Lukaku TOGETHER at some point. Mata IMO does not even offer you greater defensive solidity than those boys so i wonder what JM is seeing. Darmian is an eyesore going forward and an abomination at LB and severely limits our attacking play. We might suffer this season if JM persists with him in that position. If Shaw comes good or Blind plays well this team is good enough to win the EPL. That LB position is our achilles heel. 1 Like |

dopeJemi: I can understand you don't like Darmian and adore Bailly but the latter caused the first goal. Darmian has his faults but the ball won't even get to the crosser if Bailly had stayed in line with the other defenders to keep that guy offside. The ball won't also get into the back of the net if Bailly did his job well and marked his man. Bailly caused the first goal bro, he's the one to blame. Maybe he was feeling sore from that earlier tackle or maybe he just lost concentration for a bit but he's the one. Every player, no matter how good they are, have bad games some time.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:55am On Sep 10, 2017 |
Bailly and Jones are suspended..... hence we should be expecting Smalling and Lindelof Partnership in our first CL Match of the Season. |
