Abeg, make Mourinho pack go PSG. He's making a mockery of Manchester United. #NoRenewal. I mean I lost the joy of watching football. For the first time, i admit Mourinho is the problem. Lukaku is the culprit. |

elrony: Such a dumb question! Someone lost a derby game after a horrible performance, instead of finding a quiet place to reflect on his performance, the idiot went to fight. Rubbish |

dmcdad:Lol, is Morata a world class striker? No! bro, let's be factual they are at the same level. Forget about whichever clubs they belong, the truth is they are both average strikers with certain perceived individual 'quality'. |

Hakeem66: It's a lie, if he played it out of touch, no one would have blamed him. You guys are shifting blame to Mourinho. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:19pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
elrony: Stop shifting blame to Mourinho. Manchester City 5 Liverpool 0 Manchester City 3 Arsenal 1 Leicester 0 Manchester City 2 Chelsea 0 Manchester City 1 Mourinho lost 1-2 to a team that had won 6-0, 7-2, 5-0, due to Lukaku's cluelessness and you exonerate the culprit? The tactics was working until Lukaku spoilt it. 3 Likes |

chrisley024:Even if Pogba and everyone is around, there isn't much they can do. Cuz at the end, Jose's negative tactics would overshadow everything. You're right. They just hoof the ball hoping someone performs magic with it. It all points to one person; Jose Mourinho. |

Everyone blaming mourinho but Mourinho ain't d reason d boys couldn't keep the ball Mourinho never planned to defend d boys just didn't play well dey Mourinho also ain't d reason d boys where throwing d balls inside been hopeful.... We lacked creativity In the match... Even man city didn't play well... This will go down as 1 of the most boring derbies.... Even arsenal will played better football....against us... I still remain we need a very good winger someone like dybala..... And as for man city dey haven't really performed so well dey just have d fear factor.... They'll be exposed when they get a good side in d Champions League..... As for now we have to move on from the defeat and strive hard to win our remaining games..... ✌ |

We got a very good draw, Sevilla are woeful away from home thus I expect us to grind out a result away and finish them off at Old Trafford. Elsewhere, PSG should progress, Barca should have too much for that average Chelsea defense and Spurs with their players fit should be able to spring up a surprise against the Old Lady of Italian football. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dmcdad: 9:48pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
IFearGod:Morata isn't world class just yet, heck, how many strikers are world class at this juncture? But then, who would you prefer in your team in all honesty? Take cognizance of their individual qualities, team play, eye for goal, link up play, technicality et al into consideration... |

patrickmuf: yea we should see off sevilla,but I actually think Madrid psg is slightly tilted towards Madrid cos of their experience..it also looks like psg aren't that fantastic away from Paris,they both have excellent attackers,the midfield would b key and I see kroos modric dominating veratti rabiot.. as for d Chelsea game,I just have this feeling that Chelsea would knockout barca,yes theres nothing special in this Chelsea,but honestly the same can b said for barca as well,hazard morata Pedro can wreck havoc on that barca defense... |

dubylhover:Well, whilst you're right that Madrid have got the prerequisite experience, at the back, I don't see them coping with the threat posed by Neymar and Mbappe, midfield is even especially if Motta is fit, he makes them play so much better... As for Chelsea, whilst you might want to argue in their favor you've got to remember that Dembele will be back come February and he'd be akin to a new signing, the thought of Messi against Alonso and Dembele against Zappacosta/Moses... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 11:07pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
patrickmuf: yea motta would b very key for the partisans cos of that stability he brings at the base of the midfield and his vast experience,y I love d midfield trio of veratti rabiot and motta is cos of their ability to hold the ball under pressure,they don't panic..its just that I don't c psg eliminating Madrid,to conquer this Madrid team in Europe would take more that d physical game,you need to b prepared mentally,and its actually big clubs like bayern,barca that may cause that damage..If I was to wager,I'd definitely go with Madrid.. I actually watch Barcelona this season,their attack isn't that excellent per se,and this new coach has made dem more compact in all areas of d pitch thereby reducing their attacking impetus..honestly if conte gets his midfield combo right against barca,I'd tip them to win |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:19pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
dubylhover:Bakayoko/Drinkwater will both find the occasion too big and you can't trust Fabregas in a two man midfield with Kante, the big question is will Messi sacrifice his constant drifting into the middle to stretch Chelsea's defense by constantly tormenting Alonso which will force Cahill to leave his position to cover for the helpless Alonso thus freeing up space in the middle for Suarez |

dmcdad:Honestly, I wouldn't be jumping up having Morata in my team either. They both lack the cutting edge that defines an out-and-out striker. |

“If you ask me how did I do at United, I will say it was my best year ever, given the circumstances I was working under. We played football that was quite alright. "But it’s not football that is appreciated in England, and yet, right now, looking at United, I have to conclude Mourinho is not being criticized while it’s far more boring football. “I would rather watch City play than United. You need quality in a squad and it’s clear City have a better squad. What United produce now is defensive football. I always played attacking football. “The proof is that the opposition were always parking the bus. They don’t do that now because Jose Mourinho plays so defensive.” - Luis Van Gaal |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 8:00am On Dec 12, 2017 |
Oasis007: honestly,there are parts of this I agree with..where he said on obviously you need quality in your squad,that's a major point I have always hammered on,despite our spendings,our players are still bang average its very obvious that city has a more balanced squad with better players...I saw one comment here that if it was pep managing Herrera Nd Mata,that they would b spraying passes anyhow,I just shook my head..d pogba that is spraying d passes anyhow and imposing himself as our most important player is he not playing under mourinho?? that's where quality comes into play,but I still maintain that no matter how good your tactics is,its only as effective as d players used in d system.. but lvg also has a point about mourinho being defensive which is also bad for a brand like united,but the thing I noticed about lvg nd mous tenure is that lvg used possession of d ball to camourflage d weakness of the team nd mou goes defensive when playing against fellow big teams.. the thing is that united must splash the money Nd spend it right..how can we get to the level of Madrid bayern when pogba is the only truly outfield world class player we have,other teams boast like 3 and above in their ranks..mourinho has to take a bunch of d fault for his tactics employed but we should also look deeper into our squad and ask are they really good enough? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 8:19am On Dec 12, 2017 |
The difference is LvG defends with the ball while Mourinho defends without the ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 9:01am On Dec 12, 2017 |
dubylhover: I Dont totally agree with your summation. LVG should shut up jor. wetin him dey yarn about playing attacking football. we were bored to death with his style play. Yes we have been spoilt with the SAF style but he also served us frustrating football. Mourinho is an idiotic coward. His defensive tactics is what is making the player serve us shit. if we were playing attacking football I bet you we would have won most if not all the matches we drew or lost this season and probably be on the same points with city before our match. Then if city had won they would have been just 3points above us which will not be a bad thing. I remember when we complained about Mourinhos defensive tactics and the excuse on this board was that we were just 2points off city and that we were 2nd on the log. we are still 2nd now but we all know what the diff is now. The Lukaku we are berating for his useless link up play would have been forgiven if once in a while he messes up link up play but is busy scoring goals while in the box because we PLAY ATTACKING FOOTBALL, but because Mourinho thinks he can win a game by being defensive an attacker who is expected to be in the opposition box is busy defending and burdened with link up play here and there, something that is not exactly one of his strong attributes. That's why we are where we are today. I bet you if you give these same players to an attack minded coach like poch or someone else you will be surprised what these players will do to opponents. Yes the players have their faults but Mourinho is the biggest coward that ever liveth. imagine fa, in OT the idiot is scared of attacking! 4 Likes 1 Share |
