weedtaker:Actually Pogba is better. I made an error obviously. Everyone can see Ali is one of the worst passer in the epl right now. So pardon my error. Fergie left us with a team that even the best coach in the world can't work with. If you believe otherwise na you sabi. I blame SAF for that. That he was able to get the results he got from that team says a lot. A legend. 1 Like |

Lana1: I am not a Mourinho fan but you are wrong by saying we parked-the-bus against Watford and Feyenoord. These are stats to put everything in proper perspective. Away to Watford 40% possession 60% 10. Shots 15 5 On target 2 5 Corners 7 Away to Feyenoord 43 Possession 57 8 Shots 18 3 On Target 4 4 Corners 4 Now tell me how we're parking the bus. If we are losing or drawing matches because we are not being clinical enough olin front of goal or making defensive mistake, it is quite different. |

dopeJemi: I still dunno why you are always too quick to defend Mourihno untop this Bus-parking tactic when it's a Strategy that would always be synonymous with him. Instead of the Examples you gave, i'd rather go with these Chelsea Games under Mourihno (during his second spell at the club).... Vs Man Utd (at Oldtrafford that ended 0-0 in the 2013/14 season under Moyes). I remember Chelsea started that game with no recognized Striker yet Costa or Eto (cant really remember) were on the bench. Vs Liverpool at Anfield (the Match wey Gerard's mistake cost him a PL title). Mourihno made a defensive sub against 10 man Psg and Chelsea were still knocked out of the CL in that match |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 4:25pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
dopeJemi:Lol. In what Universe is it a stated rule that whoever parks the bus still cant lose?? Parking the bus prevents ur opponents from scoring plenty goals. But it doesn't guarantee that u'll win. Mourinho parked the bus against 10 man Psg and still lost. Hull City parked against us and still lost. Against Feyenoord, early in the 2nd half,we were camped in our half and Rashford was isolated up front on so many occassions. Even when the ball was in their half, our midfielders didn't cross the half way line. And we didn't come out to attack until Zlatan came in and we were searching for the equalizer. I dont need to analyse how the first against City went coz i'm sure u still remember vividly how the half went. And to buttress my point, we were losing at half time despite all our parking during the first half. Against Watford, we were parking as usual in the 2nd half until a lucky break led to our equalizer. Despite the equalizer and at a time we were supposed to be pushing to win the win the match, go check how many of our players were behind the ball when Watford scored their second. We parked to the extent that Pogba was passing ball to ref ![]() ![]() At least Chelsea back then and Atletico used to park bus with purpose. Them go park, counter and still go on to win. A very good example na Chelsea vs Barca 2012. But for us, we just dey park to avoid defeat. Park Bus and hope for the best. U people go on and on about how Pep is a fraud. Well me i say Mourinho is a very useless manager with rubbish one-way tactics!! 1 Like |

AdisaOwala: I am not defending Jose's park the bus tactic, we all know him for that but saying we've been parking the bus under Jose this season is a very big lie Which team parks the bus and still record this amazing stats? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/man-united-been-premier-leagues-8933300 |

eph12: yes oh.... Bus Parking dey sweet atimes ![]() My favorite Bus-Parking game (and one of my favorite matches in recent times) na that Barca vs Inter Game (2nd leg CL Semi final) wey Busquets act film and Thiago Motta was sent off very early in the game. Mehn - Inter Milan players fought like Gallant Soldiers till the end - Special shout outs to the likes of Walter Samuel, Lucio, Chivu, Julio Caesar (he pulled off an unbelievable save that night) & Cambiasso (i'd say that his performance that night was the best in his career) I Still remember Mourihno running upandan the pitch like a madman when the final whistle sounded ![]() 1 Like |

Lana1: Really? When a team parks the bus, they are supposed to have less possession/ see less of the ball but in those games against Feyenoord and watford we had more possession, more passes completion, more shots, more corners How is that? How can a team park the bus and still beat its opponent In every positive statistics? I'm finding it difficult to understand Can you also explain how boring mourinho's team has created more chances per possession than any other team in the top flight? How can a park the bus team achieve such? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 4:38pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
weedtaker:Lol!! I no get time now to go dey verify all dis stats wey u post for here. But isn't it funny that in all the games u listed it was only one(madrid vs United) in which Mourinho's team was clearly the better team with more possession and more chances created?? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 4:40pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
eph12: There is no correction to be made, I never said you can't lose when you park the bus That statement was based on our lackadaisical performance against those teams, reminiscent of LVG's days at the club, how can man united park the bus against lower teams like watford and Feyenoord and still get beaten 3-1, 2-1? It's very funny |

AdisaOwala: He didn't have any of the two in his team then. He bought Etoo close to the shut of the transfer window while Costa was bought the following season. However, he had Lukaku and Torres whom he brought on in 60mins. I don't think you can say he parked the bus in that game. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 5:25pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
dopeJemi:It that lackadaisical or disjointed performance that's causing me to worry. I don't understand how people analyse matches here. Sometimes I am just surprised that people are comfortable with how we play. We could have just left LVG if this was what we wanted. And nobody should tell me anything about new manager. We can't spend that much and still be praying for the player to adjust or fit in. Am just wondering what would have been our reactions if that Can or Coutinho ball went in. As in I don't understand when LFC became Barcelona or bayern o. That means if we wan play arsenal we go hmmm |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 5:39pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
eph12: Nobody is saying we shouldn't be worried about all the mistakes we're making. We still have to give the manager a chance or do you want him to be sacked right now? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 5:51pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
eph12: I can say we have improved a lot compared to last season and two seasons ago, the percentage of our fluid and attacking football is higher than the percentage of our drab football which wasn't the case under van gaal The amount spent on a player doesn't necessarily mean he'll fit in like a condom on a peni.s, (bale in his first season) comes to mind, we've been mostly boring to watch in the past under van gaal, you don't expect us to just revert completely to our default attacking mode because we signed a player for 90m and brought in a new coach, it's very easy to destroy but building takes process Man city under pellegrini played good attacking football, that hasn't changed under pep, we on the other hand didn't and you can see improvement under Jose, we are creating more chances, the most chances actually, having more shots on goal coupled with some breath taking football |

tess1: Aha.... Mourihno had two centre-fowards on the bench and i think Demba Ba was a chelsea player at the time, yet he decided to start the game "Strikerless" Torres came on...same way Azpilicueta & Mikel came on for Hazard and Schurlle respectively and you say he no park bus? |

I don't even know where to start!! But the fact that the guy doesn't even know the meaning/interpretation of the park-the-bus mantra simply means he is ranting unnecessarily or his understanding of the game is weak. 2 Likes |
