dubylhover: The same Pep that couldn't work with Zlatan who was unplayable everywhere he played including in Sweden. Pep threw away Yaya toure who came to city and became world class. Every manager has there own Bleep up and high times |

larride: My argument from the start has always been about Stones and Delph, Jones and Bailey are better than them Shaw is better than whoever is playing at LB for City currently My point, we have a better defense than City but see where they are |

larride: I had this debate with someone some time ago, Otamendi was the best central defender in laliga before he went to city. Rojo for example was already tagged a flop before mourinho arrived, what happened now? |

Galileogalileo:You're absolutely correct! Messi is what he is today thanks largely to Pep's influence. Yes, Messi is talented, but it couldn't have gone this rosy for him if not for Pep. Pep craved his indulgence when he came in. Told Messi that he could continue living his life anyhow and go with the way Ronaldinho did, or he could stop eating red meat, eat lots of veggies, sleep early and some other things. Pep changed his orientation towards alot of things and today he is regarded as the G.O.A.T. So, as much as a coach would do his part, it's also down to the player to complement the coach"s words with actions. |

CapitalCee:I'm telling you that most don't... At least from my own perspective. Infact, they have more reasons to hate Madrid more with the controversial win they got against you guys in Fergie's era, but yet, most still would choose Madrid over Barça for no just reason. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 2:14pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
dmcdad: That's my point, man u fans even before Ronaldo mostly prefer Madrid. Even before the champions league loss to Barca. But Madrid fans don't like man u. I think the table has turned now, Most united fans like Barca now and now is the perfect time for that given their forms. And with Barca playing shekpe in the UCL, their united Fan base will increase. |

CapitalCee:yaya was a gift to city. Pep do things with yaya. The problem was that Busquet was there, and there can be only one captain in a ship. |

Jose Mourinho starting Zlatan as a number 10,a half-fit Zlatan, still recovering from a long-term injury lay-off in a match we were supposed to win, to keep space between us and the chasing pack, was to me, a "Mourinho's masterclass" hands down. and what did that "masterclass decision" gave us? we went two goals down,against small Burnley, at Old Trafford of all places, with Zlatan doing zilch in the attack, even if the goals conceded were from set pieces. Zlatan contributed little to the game yesterday and when Mourinho saw his error and the damage done, he hook off Zlatan, for Lingard who salvaged a point for us. now for two seasons consecutively, Burnley have a point from Old Trafford. SMH. anyways, that's past. next match..... by the way, it's said that Mourinho always win the league in his 2nd season at a club and also that a Mourinho's team always finish the league in the position they found themselves in after the 12th league match. well, it will be interesting which of these statements is fulfilled this time. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dmcdad: 2:36pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
CapitalCee:Nope! I am not happy now! He should stop being a coward. Mourinho leads one of the best clubs in the world in Manchester United, and today Man U is nothing to write home about. Forget about the fact that you're second on the log and hence your team or manager should be lauded. Man U is head and shoulder better than the rest. Can you compare the Arsenals, Chelseas, Tottenhams and even the Citys of this world Man Utd? Nope! They're no where near! The only club that comes near is Liverpool, and that's even because of their rich European history. Mourinho needs to do better then I'll be happy. I love good football and that's why I always call Mourinho out for giving the negation of what I love about football. You'll agree with me that your club deserves better than they are getting now, no? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dmcdad: 2:48pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
dopeJemi:You're very correct. There was a consensus last season that Stone was overrated and overhyped. Infact, both haters and non-haters admitted that it was a wrong move Pep made. I was even thankful Barça dodged the bullet because we were in for him at the time too. And now, everyone is singing a different tune. They wanna say how he was world class prior... Ahh, people should just fear God na. Haba! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 2:50pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
dopeJemi: Well Stones and Delph are not City best defenders this season. Otamendi is better than both Jones and Bailey. Shaw is not a starter for us at the LB, it's Young. We don't have a better players defensively than City. Wherever City is at the moment is not because of their defense rather because of their attack and midfield. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 2:54pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
dmcdad: So you mean Barça was even interested in this same Stones we re talking about before Pep but it was Pep that turn him into a good player. Wow. Pep is indeed a magician. I guess it was Pep that was his manager at Everton when Barça were interested in him. You guys logic defiles reasoning walai. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 2:58pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
larride: Otamendi is not better than Bailey, "The best defense Vs the best attack" these were the words of the commentator in the We played City Last season, we had the best defense, we conceded fewer goals, this season, when Bailey was fit and playing, we had the best defense and conceded fewer goals, it's no surprise that we are in shambles at the back Our record at the back proves Bailey and Jones are better defenders than Otamendi and Stones |

Stones and Delph

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 3:10pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
dopeJemi: Goals win games not clean sheet bro. 0 - 0 Na also clean sheet. I told you the difference between City and Utd this season is not the defense rather their midfield and attack. Otamendi is better than Bailey, no way you want to spin it. If Jones is still better than Stones, it means that your Magician Pep hasn't turned Stones into gold then unless you re saying that Jones and Bailey are regressing under Mou. 1 Like |

A team of super stars and average players playing together as a unit in attack and defense (Man City) is better than a collection of super stars and some average players playing disjointed football relying more on individual brilliance (Man Utd)... The movement of our players is poor, you don't see our full backs overlapping to draw defenders away from the wingers. Most times, Young passes the ball to Martial and stops like a spectator to watch how Martial will go past 2-3 defenders and when he can't, he passes back to Young and back the ball goes to Matic, back to Jones and we repeat the sequence again... Mou needs to work on our passing and movement and our forward play in general...We defend too deep thus whenever we recover possession, it we can't hurt the opposition immediately compared to City who press high up the pitch where they can hurt you if the chance presents itself... Sometimes I wonder why we can't press high up the pitch like Spurs/City/Pool or Chelsea who are improving in this aspect, our players are way too comfortable retreating back and Mou has to take responsibility to be honest. 4 Likes |

larride:You're being myopic! What we look for from a defender is different from what others look for. Would you have bought Bravo? Tell me! The same reason we bought him was why Pep bought him, because of his ball-playing ability. Does that make him world class because Barça were interested in him and eventually bought him? By your logic it's a yes, but that's absolutely wrong. Don't get ahead of yourself. The reason we wanted him was the same reason Pep went for him, and not because he was world class. You just need to get over yourself and be realistic. Ohh well... I guess Malcom is world class then since Man U are supposedly interested in him. Right? Smh... 2 Likes |

CapitalCee: Yes I'm not only a woman/girl but a spinster.... shey u wan put the ring for my hand ni Pep has failed with so many players from Zlatan to Eto to Hleb to Goetze to Bravo, etc & history will always be there to judge him with that but not to give him his due credit when he does well is no different from the Buhari's supporters. For me, there is no difference between Pep & Mou except in how both want to play footy the way they see fit. If I could credit utd's Europa league success to not the players but Mous' then I must be a hate not to give another man his due/respect. 1 Like |

dmcdad: Don't wet your pant just yet my man. the crux of the matter here is that Stones is not an average player while at Everton. I'm never claim Stones is world class except you are having another argument with yourself in your head. I still maintain that Stones was a good and highly rated CB before his move to City. Modric was term a flop the very first season he joined Madrid, we all know how that's turning out now ain't we? Unless you want to claim that Modric is an average player while in Tot, I don't know what straws got guys are holding on too. All this shout of Stones this, Stones that, you could have thought he's the one marshalling City defense, scoring goals and all sort while in reality he has only started 8 games in the league and 4 times as a substitute. That's your gold people. LOL |

adebayo201: When it was looking like we were going to lose to Burnley, I could have sworn I saw a bobrisky wanna be gogo dancer called Pataki come back on this board, one of the deluded assanal fans. Am sure when Lingard scored the 2nd goal the frustrated dutch dancer must have ran amok on the streets nakked disorientated. Assanal fans are pathetic. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dmcdad: 3:25pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
larride:Now what is the bone of contention? You said and I quote... "Stone wasn't an average player at Everton." And you also admitted he aint world class on the emboldened. Now, from the aforementioned premises, what do we make of Stones prior to joining City. Since you said he wasn't average and also wasn't world class, what was he then? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 3:27pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
patrickmuf: we don take this thing tire for here. By the time Mourinho exhibits this type of strategy again next season, then we go come know say na area one chance we don enter. How Mourinho will change to an attacking strategy is what I would like to see. I hope he gets all the players he wants this next 2windows so there would be no excuse of "must we win the league this season" next season. |
