While some are focusing on major trohies you are bragging with Carling and Yorupa

League Man utd 6th City 3rd

This season 11points behind

how many MINOR trophies Pep don win since he land UK?

eph12:

Really? You saying this because we are 2nd on the table or because we are actually playing good football?

Boss, this is a better man utd side than last season.
By this time last season , we have conceded 17 goals scored 24 goals created fewer chances etc..

dubylhover:


no one is saying mou approach is the best but I repeat,no team in the epl would win pep by playing an open attacking footie with him,its a battle you can never win..even ancelotti parked d bus at d bernabau against pep in d ucl and used counter attacking style..y we are talking about poch team is that he's been called d messiah on this thread while mou the anti-christ,but peeps forget to fully analyse d strength and weakness of d team..I repeat there is absolutely no way we can beat city by playing all out attacking football without being cautious,abi do you think the professional coaches who defend against pep love doing it,klopp,poch,sarri of napoli are all attacking coaches but you can see the result against for going full gung ho against this peps team and players...

I honestly hope we get d chance to play them in d ucl,mayb just mayb,luck might b on our side

Spurs beat them last season playing attacking football and that was when Pochettino had all his key men available, this year, against Liverpool the result could've been different if Mane didn't receive his marching orders from the ref. Season will be beaten come the second half of the season...
When City come up against Barcelona, Bayern, PSG/Madrid then we will know how good they really are.

If you keep looking to City for before you make any observations about this united side, then you are very likely going to remain miserable throughout the season.

We are playing some of our best football post Fergie and if city's run and won't allow you appreciate that, then it's rather unfortunate.

I read pochetinos interview yesterday and my manager said that kind of rubbish after a 4 1 drubbing, if I no fit summon my bini people to use thunder fire am, I go decamp.

The idiot was said a lot a of trash and capped it up with 'at least they tried to play'

Does he think Spurs are Swansea?

Wether you like it or not, the team is still a work in process. It is just a shame that guardiola got his formula and personnel working before Mourinho did.

Mourinho stopped guardiola with a better Barcelona side that had messi, and chased him out of Spain. I see no reason to not believe that when he gets it right, he won't topple him again, even if it's not this season.

Some of our fans really need to chill and stop acting disgraceful every time city put up a good performance.
It is the reason why some people will never stop wondering if you are true fans or not

I no argue that one na. If you had said they are playing better than last season I for no talk but na the good football make me react. Anyways no wahala

Lols.

As for me mourinho is OK for me to be happy

eph12:

Wait! So you want us to play them again and your plan to win them is based on luck? As in let them play and play continue to miss chances while we just score with our half chance? That's OK

oga for all their "dominance" against us,I think its only 3 shots on target they had against us,then luck coming in that our key players need to b available and we won't have our striker gifting them assists whilst still missing our own clear cut chances

yea,the diff btw last season and this season is very obvious,pep is now top of the league and we have moved from 6th to 2nd,mind you it was at white hart lane poch won pep,at d ethiad it was d wastefulness of his strikers that let spurs come back from a 2 goal lead.

funny enough see the teams you're waiting for to play against pep..Madrid,bayern psg..barca,these are teams who have quality players that play at d highest level consistently,and those are d kind of teams that can cause damage to pep,but mind you if pep meets any of those teams,they must sit in their own half and wait for counter attack,cos if they play their normal footie,pep would annihilate them..you have strike d right balance whilst playing against pep

You are asking what has Conte done?! Pls Dude..... I don't wanna laugh too much Tonight! A Manager that won the EPL in his first Stint?!

Pls which Manager bought Darmian for United?!

pray tell, what's so special about that last season title win? it's beginning to look like a fluke. Conte won the league in his first season with Chelsea and so what? he didn't had any European football commitment to worry about. for the greater part of the first half of last season, Chelsea had few games to play, had enough rest than the other top 6 teams....

Note: emphasis on last season's top 6 teams, not the basement/also-ran teams..

Chelsea had light fixtures to contend with, hence they had enough days of rest. to me, nothing special about their title win, but no one can take the trophy from them, so life goes on.

what I'm trying to say is, it's pointless hyping their last season title win like it's something special.

Pep did better in his first season as the head coach of Barcelona, he won the league and the Champions League, ending up with 6 trophies..... he did same in his first season at Bayern Munich, having to juggle league commitment with European football commitment.

Bia bia bia which mourinho chased pep out of Spain?? The same mou that lost d league a year later to a (rip) sorry to say this bedridden vilanova Abegi!!! Find another lie joor!!

I tire.

Another one wey dey crack me up na the "registered only 3 shots on target" LOL.

Information that can easily be disproved online.

A lot of deluded folks here; only a few know their stuff. Imagine Pochettino saying we only lost 4-1 when that match could easily have been 10-2.

These ones have forgotten how they were played off their own turf. I blame Jesus and Bernardo Silva sha.

But there would be another game at the Etihad and I pray their Pogba is there. I hate excuses.

I honestly don't get the hate against Pep Gaurdiola. Yes, I admit I initially didn't like him not because of who he is or his footballing philosophy or strive for perfection in football, but because of the hype placed on him by La Liga fans, especially these Barka fans whilst yet, he hasn't gone to other league outside La Liga, but now I've seen the light. you may not like Pep, but you have got to admit he's good. no shame in that. stop moaning about the money he's spent. it doesn't take anything away from him. in these football days, you need to spend and wisely so, to be able to win, unless you want to be like Arsene Wenger and other miserly coaches who can't win anything. even a top coach like Mourinho spends money, so why single out Pep for criticism merely because you hate him? doesn't make sense.

Pep started in La Liga and dominated the league, went to Bayern Munich and dominated the league and he's now I'm EPL dominating the league. yes, he struggled last season, so? he's rectified a lot from last season,get the players he wants and instill his philosophy in them and they are leading the league with a massive point difference. you have got to give him props rather than insulting him and giving all kinds of excuses like how much spent, why he didn't win anything in his first season, blah, blah, blah........

Hian!

You all should embrace Pep and applaud what he's doing because if Pep succeeds with Man City in the EPL and the Champions League, it's all the best for the Premier league. if City succeeds in winning the UCL under Pep, England will finally have the UCL trophy that has evaded them for more than 5yrs now. at the end, the Premier League benefits immensely and we'll finally have a strong team to stand up to these Spanish and German cunts in the UCL....

stop the hate against Pep.

Hate mourinho? Hate woodward? Hate Fergie? Hate the stadium? Hate Miki? Hate Ibra? Hate even retired players? Hate lukaku? Hate wins? Hate goals? Even if the team is going through a period of strife is it meant to be that way forever?

I sure say even to release dey vex them! Lmao!

Barcelona sit in their own half? Bayern? PSG? I think not...Only Madrid will opt for counter attack but the rest will come at City, it's gonna be end to end...Imagine Messi/Robben/Mbappe running at Delph...

nyabinghi:
fergie didn't park the bus in any of the scenarios u painted, the red card gotten destroyed united in the 6 1 loss, in the 0 1 loss he gambled his selection and in the 3 2 he played attacking soccer through out, paste the match reports

The three goals we scored were our only 3 shots on target.

Remember our first goal came from counter attack.

We committed many fouls against City in the opening ten minutes or more.

DeGea won the whoscored MOTM

whats all these nonsense about 2nd place like the league has ended. Yall will scream Pep hasn’t won the league yet, despite being 14 points away on the log but believe you’ll finish 2nd even when you are currently on same point as Chelsea and 5 points away from Arsenal.

Scummies this is the hypocrisy we are talking about.
Swallow your L and shut the fck up!!!

This one's pain is evident but I am replying you out of pity! Just look at your league position, the european grade competition your team is currently stuck in and then go and sit in a corner and ruminate deeply about your life! Take heart my alobam! I know say e no easy to be gayner this days!

These "real fans ehn"....I would never deny Mou's impart/improvement thus far in this team but don't ever beat the drum that we can't do better than this No, that is a lie from the pit of hell. Mou have said some things & his fans believed him---he is not right all the time (Pepe is passed it or that De Bryne, Mata, etc don't cut it but we all know better)

Have any of u watched Sterling of late, forget his winning goals, that boy is an akam (hin still nono how to pass esp in the Ass.NAL game) & will never lase the boot of Rashford & I still insist Martial >>>Sane but Mata is = Silva. Don't let any one including myself convince u we can't do better, that is a lie from the pit of hell.
Except for the injured Kompany, our defense better pass their own & Lindelof will come good soon. Otamendi & Mangala will never make it in our SE bench to nations cup not to talk of the world cup, in fact I can beat my skinny chest & say the 2 of them would not make our regular SEs provisional squad of 60 invited players....na possession footy dey cover their yansh.
Don't worry shebi na February (God spare us life) UCL go resume & u go see how those demons for there go baptise Ota/Mangala/Stones/Delph with holy goals

eph12:

Wait! So you want us to play them again and your plan to win them is based on luck? As in let them play and play continue to miss chances while we just score with our half chance? That's OK

To win the UCL you have to play the best. Chelsea beat Liverpool home & away in 2005 and won the league by a record points, but were eliminated by pool enroute the Istanbul miracle. Same happened the previous year when Arsenal went unbeaten beating Chelsea home and away, and also knocking them out of the FS cup at Stanford bridge but a Wayne bridge 87th goal knocked the gunners out of the champions league

Wetin be this? City where already tearing Liverpool apart before the red card. You mean last season? Didnt Chelsea beat city with counter attack last season? What happened this season? Nna eeh some people sef

I am very very sorry to say this, but many united fans here are either deluded or dont have sufficient knowledge and experience of how football seasons work, na anywhere belle face.

United Fans are celebrating 2nd on the Table?! Wonders shall never End! Fergie really killed us by choosing Moyes as his Successor.

By the Way...... no one is calling for the Sack of JM. Also no one is discrediting his Achievements with the Club so far. But it seems we are asking too much for hoping he could compete with, and outshine Fraudiola?

Our noisy Neighbours are getting more Voice on the Street of Manchester, coz they've painted the whole City with Blue Color under Pep "Fraud" Guardiola. They are the better Team as far as Manchester Teams are concerned at the moment.

Fans are beginning to see the Light now, Pep ain't a Fraud, he's a competent Tactician who knows his Onions. Sterling has become a great Player, Sterling of all Players?! We all know Sterling had huge Potentials, but he's fulfilling it under Pep.

Take it or leave it..... JM needs to upgrade. He needs to be more competitive against the Top Teams.

City has played 18 games and lost just 2 points, and a team that finished 6th last season and competed in Europa is 2nd, and you people are lapping onto trolls to hate on his own team, which have been constantly improving from last season, well I know real trolls like dayo, how about "fantrolls"? Hmmn

Pep and Mourinho are very different kinds of managers. If you use Pep's style as your benchmark for your validation of Mourinho, then you will end up complaining till his time at this club is over.

That Mourinho's style isn't yielding results that measure up to what pep is doing at the moment, doesn't make the style appalling or even inferior

There are a lot of other factors to consider, for anyone capable of looking beyond the surface.
