funlord: Another person who can put the ball in the back of the net. His arrival will relegate Mata to the bench and the right wing will still be dead. |

Leyqute: 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 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! 11 Likes 4 Shares |

dopeJemi: Are people still on this issue? United fans are some of the most complex people. In as much as I appreciate divergence of views, there should be balance in every argument. As it stands lots of folks have gone overboard. I just don't get this hysteria that has suddenly befallen this thread, especially since the game in question was nearly four days ago. I would have thought peeps would have gotten this whole fiasco out of their system. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA: 8:29am On Sep 27, 2017 |
funlord: You should have added the score-lines to those games. Then it would really be absurd |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by funlord(m): 8:32am On Sep 27, 2017 |
hoopLA: No need! Their gripe was over the possession not goals! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:34am On Sep 27, 2017 |
Leyqute: 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 wins are neccesary to confer versatility and flexibility. But brother i Respect your opinion though. 1 Like |

funlord: 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?! 3 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA: 8:38am On Sep 27, 2017 |
funlord: Just to emphasize how unnecessary that argument is. We drew only ONE of those games. Maybe when we have 80% average possession they will be satisfied, just like the fellow who prefers an entertaining draw over a win like Saturday. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 8:42am On Sep 27, 2017 |
CapitalCee: Yeah I get your point. Did you watch our games from against Stoke down to So'ton (full time, not highlights or on livescore)? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 8:47am On Sep 27, 2017 |
Leyqute: 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 former 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 |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:48am On Sep 27, 2017 |
Leyqute: 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: Which improvements are we expecting? Pogba was building a chemistry with Matic and we were dominating games, even the stoke own despite the place having a reputation for being difficult for us and other big teams, we dominated stats and would have won the game save for a Lukaku miss. We began to drop possession stats and play disjointed in certain instances as Pogba became injured and Fellaini began to start games. You don't expect Matic and whoever we keep shuffling with him to exert control in the midfield like how Pogba was doing. Man be patient.. It is for reasons like this that Mourinho persists with a given team once they start turning in dominant performances and winning games. I was watching a Pogba analysis recently and it became clear why we play alot better with him despite all the unnecessary criticism here. How many united midfielders do you see hold the ball, shield it and try to drag players out of position before finding a free player.. None does it at the moment. They all want to get rid of it as soon as possible and that's what led to the awful misplaced passes here and there in the Southampton game. At the moment don't expect anything fantastic from us except the opposition is just terribly poor. Take the wins as they come and when the right bodies come in and play with each other better, we will play better. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

dopeJemi: 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. |

Nawa ooo una can drag. Mek una rest now. Shey we get match with CSKA Moscow.. .!!? Or we want play Southampton again. Nawa ooo |

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. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 9:00am On Sep 27, 2017 |
CapitalCee: I noticed those too but didn't beat any drum. So when we surrendered against Sot'on, I was v. pissed at the dip. My grouse wasn't about So'ton alone. It was the dip that pissed me off. Even if we want to park bus or want to see a game off, we should do the simple things well enough and not put hope in the hearts of other teams watching that they can get baack in and get something from the game. That's what I've been saying. |

Midfield today needs to simply consist of: 1. Ander herrera 2. Michael carrick 3. Blind 4. Matic Herrera began his career as an attacking midfield dynamo and given free reign he can control that midfield against cska! Blinds best postion is actually in central midfield and against a mobile center such as cska we need technicians and not brutes! Matic/carrick can keep things calm while the bedlam ensues! Injuries have currently decimated our center hence these options! All man should play in their natural position! |

Are you guys still on the Southampton game when we have a game tonight? For f'ck sakes make we move on na, instead of moaning like a b*tch who is being fingered. We have established that it wasn't the intention of the gaffer to defend against the saints but rather the players forced his hand and he did what was best to remedy the situation. Southampton is a decent team so I no get all this "parking the bus against ordinary Southampton" I de hear here. Are they not a premier league team famed for their possession based football?. Some of you may be started watching football live from last year so it's understandable that you will want mourinho to play tiki taka or possession based football since all of a sudden, every Jones and Harry is on about attacking football and forgetting that defending is part of football and it can be beautiful too. This same Southampton came to old Trafford and outplayed us under SAF and have some other small teams done in the past. I'm not in any way condoning the performance by the players but I can't stand mofos cussing mourinho for that and purring at man city's style of play over and over again. Abeg we de Russia and are set to play against a familiar team in CSKA Moscow without 3 midfielders so make we talk about this match instead of talking about a match that was played 4 days ago, one which we won. I see us winning this match, 2 or 3 goals to 1 |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 9:32am On Sep 27, 2017 |
Leyqute: 12 points? I think 10 would b very realistic,but I'd b ecstatic if we pick the 12,but you do know we are going to b defensively setup in anfield right |
