Griezmann is ready to bounce from Athletico now that diego costa has finally arrived from chelsea! A january or summer arrival is imminent!

Leyqute:


You shade me, I shade you. You retaliate, I retaliate. You say something nasty and I repay the complement. Then you start digging up the internet looking for my nude pics.

Nah bro. I don't do bants with some people.

-------------------------------------

The possession stats you posted up there shows a split with Everton and a domination against Southampton. If you don't notice the drop, I weep for you. We have to thank Jah Everton didn't equalize when we were a goal up, else things would've turned sour for us.

Saturday's performance was drab, we all know that. but why blow it out of proportion? bar Southampton, which other average team did we park the bus against? cause I don't seem to understand this "park the bus against average teams" you guys keep talking about

funlord:

1: Man united vs leicester: possession 69% leicester 31%


2: man u vs stoke: possession 63% stoke 37%

3:man u vs Basel: possession 61% Basel 39%


4 : man u vs everton: possession 49% everton 51%

5: man u vs Burton: possession 69% Burton 31%



6: man u vs southampton : possession 39% southampton 61%




Bus parkers?

hoopLA:


You should have added the score-lines to those games. Then it would really be absurd

Leyqute:


You've started again.

What if you park the bus and get beat? You don't think that's possible? You were probably happy when we were toothless and beaten by Madrid in the Supercup.

If you believe parking the bus against average teams is the way to go, good for you. It's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But don't overly criticise those that believe otherwise, they have their opinions too.

And this has nothing to do about the poor performances I've been yapping on about. Even if you park bus, use sense. Don't lose possession easily, threaten the opponent when you get the ball, etc.

Madrid defended for most part of their game against Dortmund but when it was time to attack they hit the Germans under the belt. A team who have surrendered the game and is playing poorly will never do that.

Maybe those folks will soon rudely tell me to go support Madrid now since I've used them to buttress one of my points.

And you know this how? Are you nastradamus? Keep noticing drops...I prefer to notice points and goals!

If you notice I never even commented once about all the tears some of you were shedding tears over the southampton performance...guess why? The 3 points was as comforting to me as a mother's bosom is to a baby!

It is pointless for me to now start to think that such a performance is the barometer that I will use in judging the team for the rest of the season! I've seen it all before....the performance against fulham away in 2007/08 when cr7 had to bail us out in a game that sent us on a run to win the title? Scholesy scoring in almost 5 consecutive games that helped us rein in arsenals 13 point lead and still end up winning the league in 2003! I see things different from most of you here....maybe it is because experience breeds confidence...I stand with jose, my team, uniteds performances and the boards descisions...its _fucking September for Christ's sake!

funlord:



No need! Their gripe was over the possession not goals!

CapitalCee:


No vex. Let's not over hype the argument. I understand your argument and truly performances such as that at St Mary's is a recipe for bad results. But try to understand us, in the game of football result is most important, Chesea packed the bus ceeding possession to the opposition enroute their UCL victory, that trophy is what people remember now. That pack the bus tactics we applied was a plan B which Ferguson ussually use to strifle teams that relentlessly come at us and it has been effective. On their day Fergie team will tear you apart with goals, but in some occasions they resort to ugly wins exactly like what you saw on Saturday, Yes, if not even worse. Go and rewatch our 1999 finals with Bayern, they pinned us for several mins bombarding us and Even scored, we have Schmeichel to thank for the scoreline remaining 1-nil till sherigham and ole did the damage. If we had come out to challenge them, it might have been a loss, with entertaining football like the 2 Barca finals, analysts will applaud your bravery but by now their will be no treble, there will be no knighthood for Ferguson.
I can go on and on with more instances for you. Klopp has not won anything with his ghen ghen pressing. But vangaal and Jose has won 3 TROPHIES with their dull football overtaking Liverpool as the most successful club in Britain in the process.
Good football is most welcomed but must come with results, and an occasional ugly is neccesary to confer versatility and flexibility.
But brother i Respect your opinion though.

Leyqute:


I'm not blowing anything out of proportion. Southampton was the worst, yes, but we didn't start playing poorly against Southampton. We also didn't do well at home to Everton and away to Stoke, despite the many goals we've scored.

I don't know about you but I watch all of Manchester United's games and one thing I've notice is the dwindling level of performance. At this moment last season we played very well with a determined spirit but were bad in front of goal. Is it too much to ask for that same spirit now that we have a much improved attack?

Leyqute:


Yeah I get your point.

Did you watch our games from against Stoke down to So'ton (full time, not highlights or on livescore)?

Leyqute:



Did you see me complain like this after the match against Everton and Stoke?

No one wishes Utd bad and I certainly am not going to judge the rest of the season based on the performance of this month. I just want to see improvements in game play, mentality and spirit, is that too much to ask?!

dopeJemi:


we are not disputing that fact, so wetin we go do now wey our performance dey dwindle and we dey win unlike last season? reason why you think we played poorly in our previous matches is because our opponents came out to attack, it wasn't just the usual one way football, if you check the statistics for those games you will see it favors us more

it is not mourihno's fault that some of his players are serving us sh.it every match day, the only time I faulted mourihno's tactics was when he brought on smalling instead of Martial, but who can blame him, his players were not coming out.

yes, a good performance with win is exciting to watch and moan over but right now, the latter isn't the case with us, what should we do? kill ourselves? the only reason why I haven't gone over the moon with our bad displays is because we are winning and that is all that matters right now, winning.. didn't we also complain last season when we were drawing a lot of games? even when we put on a show, we are just five games into the season mate, it's best we move on from the Southampton game because that is not the Manchester United we know under mourihno, confidently saying that

CapitalCee:


I did, I hardly miss our games. That draw at Stoke is still pissing me off till now. Of a truth our Midfield collapsed in those games, even versus Everton until Rooney went off and Martial came in.

Leyqute:


Yeah, quite remarkable that we actually won those games while playing poorly. But you'll also agree that if we played like that against Chelsea or Tottenham, home or abroad, we'll get beat.

Let's see some improvements in the game today and the bullish trend will return. By improvement, I mean better ball retention (if they want to do so), playing with intent and going for the jugular when the need arises.

stylochime:
Enters thread to read to read about our upcoming UCL match, sees dicussions and arguements about a win that was played 4 days ago, spits and walks out of thread.
