Oasis007:
Now that Normalcy is almost restored on the Thread..... I think United should sign Ozil in January. I'm kinda tired of hoping for a resurgent Mkhitaryan every Week. Seems the Dude ain't ready to improve at all!

Though Ozil is lazy, but he won't be unproductive like Mkhitaryan week in week out, who is only good at padding up Stats with fluke Assists.

If Matic, a Bag of Beans, is making waves at United; I hope Ozil a Bag of Rice, might be a Joy to watch at United!

Guy forget story. Ozil is known for going into ghost mood in top games and when the team is defending. Sanchez is the only player I want from there

Leyqute:


What about Antoine Grieamann behind Lukaku?

Griezmann is definitely the best Player we need to replace Mkhitaryan in the Lineup, but we have to be realistic coz we can never get him in January - perhaps in the Summer.

GloryIsaac:


I just weak..... Things like this happen shaa.

I hope United goes far in UCL despite this kind of gameplay

what if they go far on the ucl with "that type of gameplay"...would you b satisfied?

So you suggest we should stick to Mkhitaryan till the End of the Season?! I think Sanchez prefers Man City, or probably move to PSG.

Name one team that played that way and went as far as the UCL semis.

Some so called fans appear to have forgotten The kind of footy we played under Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes so soon. We were terrible in those days. Moyes was even saying we should be looking up to teams like City and Chelsea. That can never be the comments from a manager of Manchester United.
Now we have a manager who believes we are on equal footing with any club in Jose,the onus is on us as fans to back him up and support The colours no matter how he chooses to play his team.
I am fully behind Mourinho,no matter the tactics he employs as long as he takes us back to the summit of football.He did it last season and I have absolute confidence in him that he will do it again this season.

Notify the editors of Oxford English Dictionary, ladies and gentlemen, that the word 'summit' has been redefined to mean sixth position...

I agree the chances are slim but it might happen as UEFA will lift the ban on Atletixo in January.

Lana1:
Wait....wait....hol up!
I'm not understanding.

Mourinho took us back to the summit of football last season??

You know what I am saying,he got us back into the Champions League by winning the Europa League. He won the League cup. He won the Charity shield.
He will only do better this season no matter what you think. I have absolute confidence in Jose and I believe he and the team he is building will only get better.
I will only judge his progress in May 2018. Into then I will continue to support the red colours, no matter his tactics. I suggest you do the same if you are a TRUE United supporter but if you are a closet Citeh supporter like a lot of pretenders on this board,you are free to continue to criticize. I await the matches between United and Citeh,Spurs or any other rivals to the throne.

Oasis007:

I'd take him since it's on a free but in games like today he'd had been anonymous. We need players that can keep the ball and help in controlling the game.

Leyqute:

Inter Milan, under Jose Mourinho.

I'm just being optimistic Bro.... no strength to type abeg.

Leyqute:

So you expect him to forfeit Champions League Footie for the Move?? We shouldn't expect him to leave Atletico Madrid this Season, coz he needs Champions League Footie more than he desires a Move to another Club.

That's the Point. He's gonna be a quick but fair Fix till Summer when the Board gonna get a better Upgrade, perhaps, in Griezmann.

errrmm..first and foremost,we need to define what kinda way you mean...if its by being cautious against the big guns away,then MOURINHO inter,Chelsea 2012,athletico 2014,2016...but to mention a few...
now I'm not saying that I support defensive tactics all through,but there are games one needs to b pragmatic in approach,...
fans can wail from now till thy kingdom come,but mou has used that pattern to achieve success over d years so its what he would still do..

it begs the question of what if sir Alex had tweaked his ganeplan a bit against barca in two finals instead of the gung ho approach

Sooooooo....UCL qualification and minor domestic cups is now what is needed to achieve greatness at the summit of football?? UCL qualification that is even supposed to be an annual occurrence for a club of United's status?
Even the UCL qualification sef was via the back door because we finished 6th. Wau. Ur own definition of summit is clearly different from mine

I'm shocked!

Caveatemptor:


Inter Milan, under Jose Mourinho.

It's one thing to defend well and attack nicely when it's time to attack. It's another thing to throw attack out the window and defend for almost the whole duration of a game.

These are the match stats for Chelsea vs Inter in 2010 and Liverpool v Man Utd today. Did you note any difference?

How can you win when you barely attack your opponent?

I don't know how he'll do it but Mou has to figure it out. He needs to set up his team such that there's a way to attack and defend well against top teams.

dubylhover:


hehehe..mou has used a particular method of achieving success over the years by going defensive when away to rivals..

then y are united fans just grumbling up and down when he does it now? yes not all of us like that defensive mentality,but when we signed mou,we knew how his tactics worked..even before the Liverpool game,we knew we would defend,so y are they just whining up and down..its exasperating to the eye...
ethiad,Stamford bridge..we should expect simular performances..
fans should just get used to it

Go and Check United games versus Liverpool it's usually pack the bus tactics even during Ferguson. United versus Liverpool don't usually produce goals. the scousers usually raise their game whenever they see mourinho, anybody that condemned mourinho for this draw is either a hypocrite or doesn't know history. Ferguson would be highly excited with this result regardless of Liverpool's form

Don't get it twisted. What we played today is not the same as what those teams play. Even whenever Fergie defends, you still see that blistering attack from time to time. The transition from defense to attack was instantaneous. How did we become a fantastic counter attacking team then?

Nobody will bat an eyelid if that's the case. We will even barely notice the emphasis on defense as long as we win.

The thing is Mou should find tactics and ways of breaking top teams down, not play for a draw and hope for a win.

have u finished your service, i had to reply you as it seems you have little to do monitoring me up and down, seems you studied a useless course in that your rundown school

Which university did you graduate from? All schools in Nigeria are "rundown" according to you. So 5hut up.

Lol bro. Nobody assisted anybody. Everybody just dey troll him own dey go.

Dem never see anything.

Lol.
I agree.
I was watching the Unitedgame in a lounge where the usual agbero shekpite fans were majority. I just quiet carry myself dey go.
When it was their turn, na so I come dey bold dey tab.
One white guy from Ireland come call Conte the Italian Mark Hughes. I no fit die wit laff. See as dem curse Willian Hazard Batshuayi. Me sef I follow join.
Na de white man yab tire pass me.

Chelsea under de Mateo, Inter under mourinho and even that Benitez Liverpool packed bus versus Juventus away in 1/4 final and away to Chelsea in semifinals.

Nobody is even talking about the 0-0 draw we got away to Barcelona in 2008 when fergie went for a draw and got it, and at home, immediately Scholes scored he closed shop. Why do we have shot memories, if Ferguson had avoided and open game at city in 2011 and hadn't lost 6-1 we wouldn't have lost that 2012 league on GD. Abeg make people calm down joor. It seems most people here started watching football recently.

My statement has nothing to do with wherever we finish this season. U said Mourinho took us to the summit last season and I only reminded you that we finished 6th on the log.
If we win the league or finish 10th, e no get as e take concern my statement cos I was only being sarcastic of your use of the word 'summit'..
