elrony:Lol. At this point, na prayer Pogba need. The guy cant even influence a game for us to win. He needs to go and wash his head 7 times inside river. If N'Kinta Kunte Kante gave 1/2 of Ander performance today we no go hear word!Azzin eh. As long as u are running up and down like madman all over the pitch against the Sunderland and Swansea of this world, u don turn best CM and 5th best player in d world for some people's eye. Europe awaits them nxt season. Na there dem go hear am |

codedguy1: Calm down, what I meant was that, Chelsea had already beaten them bitterly twice already this season, dt was why i said their pride was at stake, dt does not mean we didn't play to win, y'all were just better. |

Ander Herrera's commitment to the United's cause is unquestionable. he deserves a contract extension and as well should end his career at Old Trafford as a United legend! by the way, who has seen Kagawa10? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 8:25pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
ToyinDipo:Dangerous to have just one goal scorer in a team/match. Ibra should pair with a runner. |

SIRcumalot: How can you not see Mourinho's tactical genius for the first time today? 1. He started with two attackers instead of one exploiting Shekpe defence the more. Those two chased and added pace to our blunt attack. 2. HE Benched Zlatan and left Shekpe defence confused by not marking a single CF, but rather splitting their back 3 into marking 2 pacy strikers. 3. He disciplined the players to man mark each player. Not only Herrera was man-marking Hazard, Fellani was on Kante's case. Rojo and Bally stayed close to Costa. Darmian was right on Pedro, etc. 4 and the best of them, bringing in Carrick immediately Fabregas came in to choke the midfield and make sure Fab's Passes doesn't arrive to their targets. Mourinho shocked me today. I never saw it coming. 6 Likes |

eph12:Mourinho hardly thrives with 2 strikers upfront (Drogba-Crespo), (Ibrahim-Adriano), (Drogba-Shevy)..., except one is deployed as winger e.g Eto at Inter. Though I'm not saying there should be only one marksman in a team though. |

Lana1: That guy's faith on Pogba is a mystery I'm yet to solve. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 8:35pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
ToyinDipo:7 shots, 2 on target. 29% shot accuracy. 1 Aerial duel won. Poor stats for a center forward.

“We went to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup with same tactics and the game was totally controlled when we played with 11 players. "Only the decision that made us play with 10 men for the second half, plus some minutes in the first half, gave Chelsea a chance to be dominant, but we knew that if we played this way then it would be very difficult for them.” - Jose Mourinho |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:39pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
“He [Rashford] played fantastically well. He also had a very good game at Stamford Bridge in the cup. He had exactly the same chance to score, even playing with 10 men in the second half, because he is faster than their defenders and he can get behind them. "But today he scored and it was at the beginning of the match, which gave the team more confidence and stability. So it was very important and the kid played fantastically well.” - Jose Mourinho |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:41pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
"Ander was harshly sent off in the FA Cup quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge last month, but the Spaniard was magnificent on Sunday and scored a vital second-half goal. “He had a tough time because the referee in that match [the cup tie] created a problem. The performance was very similar today, the team played in a similar way, but the difference was we had 11 players for 90 minutes.” - Jose Mourinho |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:42pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
“I think everyone did what they had to do. Everybody fought really hard. Bailly and Rojo, I think they deserve a special mention because they have played in absolutely every game, non-stop, since the injuries of Smalling and Jones. "But I am really happy with the team and the results, because the Manchester City and Liverpool results left us in the position of needing to win. Not even a draw would be a good result for us, so I am really happy for the boys and for us because we keep two windows open to try to play Champions League football.” - Jose Mourinho |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:45pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
“I cannot yet give up the Premier League. We have to try and if one day we are in the Europa League and in the Premier League the distance is too big, then we have to prioritise and nobody can criticise us if in the last matches of the league we do it in a different way. "But while it is mathematically possible, we have to go with everything we have.” - Jose Mourinho |

Chelseafan1:. I'm waiting for Hazard take-ons today, since that's what he's good at ![]() ![]()

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Chelseafan1: 8:51pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
ChristineC: Did you even know that, it was possible to Man Mark Hazard and get away with it cos the other attackers in Costa and Pedro were shiiits....try to man-mark Messi and see if Suarez and Neymar won't kill you or Man mark cr7 and see if Modric, Kroos, Bale wont tear you into pieces. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 8:51pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
sinizia:come on mehn. ![]() do you really think zlatan was on the bench for some tactically reason and not because we've one eye on the europa. for me our victory is largely down to personnel taking nothing away from Jose,he still chose the team. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 8:56pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
eph12:Simple! |

adebayo201: I understand he made you weep in the last two meetings....pele. He can be forgiven today, 2/3 isn't bad if you ask me. |

Wau. Dybala don injure ![]() ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 9:05pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: Well, if it wasn't tactical, it's still a nice thing to do. On this thread we've been complaining of how the sole striker style was killing our game. Double attack helped us greatly. |

Costa is a cùnt, driving my teenage cousins to a soccer game soon...I use Seniority enter...Time to boss them and show my Superiority but does anyone have gifs or links or videos of Today's Rojo and Bailly vs Costa? |

Lana1:With these stats, and you said he was marked out. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 9:11pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
ToyinDipo:Well times have changed. Even Mourinho has changed. Rashford plays too far from the goal when Ibra is on the pitch. Same with Martial. They should play alongside Ibra at the front. The commentator said something about Pogba based on chances seen should be the second highest goal scorer after Ibra. When we have Rashford and Martial? They should find a way to play closer to the goal jare. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ToyinDipo(m): 9:15pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
eph12:At best he can only deploy second striker as wing forward, where the two occasionally switch positions. But there is only one type of striker, that Mourinho likes to keep in box 18, and you can't play two of such at a time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 9:15pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
For me, Kante wasn't that bad when compared to his team-mates. He's the among the few that tried for Shekpe. At least he still won some tackles and was way better than the likes Hazard, Costa, Pedro, who were ghosts in that match. As for Herrera, there's nothing to type that's hasn't been typed already. As I've typed before, if that ninja was in this Shekpe or Tottenham team, he'd have gotten more recognition that he's currently getting. That guy is underrated. He plays with passion for this team. Gives 100% all the time. MOTM for me. |
