Diademk07:


What Superb loan spell? He was good at the start but tailed off before the end. After which he looked abject and poor in all the pre-season friendlies he played for us.

Anyway, Nani was talking about afterlife of signing a contract and the injuries. That was the exact time he left for lisbon.

AikayDaWrapper:

Pardon my language but playing well in pre-season doesn't mean sh!t.

Nani played well in Portugal and I don't think he was given any chances in our second pre season under Van Gaal.

The main point here is that Nani is/was a very good player (and he proved that in the euros where he was Portugal's star player) and LVG sold him without bringing in a suitable replacement.

That reeks of poor team planning to me.

Vanquay16:
I am calling it first...Assnal is getting raped like this in the UCL.

Diademk07:


The moment he left on loan for Lisbon, he already sealed his fate. Tell me how many experienced players, not kids went on loan and came back to play in the team under the same manager? He would have done well to stay back and fight for his role in the team.

Not to mention coming back to look shite in all the pre-season friendlies. He sealed his fate already.

AikayDaWrapper:

He shouldn't have gone on loan in the first place. Hernandez went on loan then transferred to Leverkusen and lit up the bundesliga.

The main point here is that Nani would have offered us x100 of what our other right wing options offered last season. That is undisputed.

stiflerdrug:


Lol bruh assnal's odd against bayern is always gon be 2947:0.000.. .

Vanquay16:


I am always flabbergasted, Assnal fans regard themselves as a top club...I feel because they are based in London that's the only reason they are relevant.

Diademk07:


Top coach rarely deploy 442 nowadays except they have a player like Keane or Kante in midfield to prevent the midfield from being overrun and pacey forwards to help out.

Considering only 442 or 352 could accommodate the 2 waste bags of Rooney and Rvp, Van gaal chose the lesser evil.

352 tactic with the right players is the best tactic ever for me. We all saw the Italian team with such tactic doing so much like advancing to the Euro final in 2012 or performing well in the recent euro despite having little quality in the team. How about the average Holland team that won the 3rd place final. Even Pep often operates similar tactic because the tactic ensures more numbers in the defence and in the midfield thereby tapering over the little quality in those department.

The fact that we had 2 sluggish shitheads in Rvp and Rooney as the main front 2 was the major problem. The tactic looked great vs Madrid in the pre-season with the pacy Chicharito and Zaha leading the line for example.

Hence, blame your bae, Rooney for stinking the whole place.

Diademk07:


He chose to leave because he wanted to be starting in a team. It's no one's fault but himself.

Actually, a lot of things are laced in my previous post. I mentioned the loan and afterwards, the pre-season games. Why? Because there's absolute no way the coach could have seen a lot of him while he was on loan. Hence, he had to immediately impress the coach in the pre-season which Nani failed to do.

However, if he had stayed back, there would have been a lot of place he could have impressed the coach. For example, in the training or on the pitch. Kids goes on loan to get the experience, not experienced players such as Nani/Hernandez and once a player chose that route, he's already a goner.

Mr man, instead of worrying yourself over your superiors in everything football related, why don't you go and worry about how your "supposed top club" will get their first 3 points of the season, settle the nerves of your disgruntled and fed up players and attempt to escape from the relegation zone!

Jose Mourinho has revealed Henrikh Mkhitaryan did not start for Manchester United against Leicester or Bournemouth because Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata were the 'best options' for the team.

Mkhitaryan was signed from Borussia Dortmund last month in a £26.3m deal and started the first three pre-season games against Wigan, Dortmund and Galatasaray.

However, the Armenian was on the bench for Wayne Rooney's testimonial against Everton, as well as the Community Shield and last week's Premier League opener.

Lingard and Mata scored in the latter victories and Mourinho lengthily discussed their selections ahead of Mkhitaryan.

"Options," Mourinho replied when asked about Mkhitaryan's recent omissions. "I went to the game against Leicester and I was reading the game and I thought we needed the speed of Jesse Lingard.

"And against Bournemouth, I thought they wanted to press really high, and a player like Mata coming inside could reach some spaces behind the lines of pressure and it could be very useful for us. And I decided to play Rooney both games in that position close to Zlatan and I didn't start with Mikhy.

"Some managers when they buy players, when it is their decision to buy players, the first thing they think is to protect themselves and to protect their choices. The players they buy have to play all the time. I am not like this. Before me comes the team, and what I think is the best for the team.

"In those two matches, Mata and Lingard were the best options for the team, adapted to the reality of the Premier League so I made that decision.

"But Mkhitaryan is a super football player and he will be given a lot of opportunities this season."

Where is the FUN in being a gayner?



So going 12 years without a league title is your idea of fun?



Or steady embarrassment in your league openers every season makes you chuckle?



Or perennial underachievement and the collection of consistent wozery in the champions league tends to make you smile with glee?



Or endless frustration due to your club managers inaction as regards to addressing your teams very visible flaws induces laughter in you?



No wonder you are a goner! Na only una dey fit accept dis kind of fate as destiny!


Bloody Otondo!

Lol Saying you're acting stupid isn't an insult, it's just letting you know how the world sees you.

Did you watch the pre-season then? Rooney was the player of the tournament.

Chicharito and Zaha were far behind Rooney and Mata in performance. It looks like, truly, you watch matches from livescores.

You don't have any chance of beating a Bayern Madrid Barca and you say you're a top Club? You automatically become the underdog when you face them.

That's bull really.

How can you be a good coach if you are not monitoring the progress of your players you sent on loan or atleast telling someone to monitor them and report back to you.
