"You can say we had some success and I still think there were so many balls in such important areas with lots of crosses, good and low crosses, but we didn't attack all these balls well. "Also, normally, we were not lucky with rebounds so I'm happy with the effort, happy with the personality and happy with the feeling that we didn't lose but, of course, we lost two points." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"The boys are doing what they can and they are doing fine. I say, in the last two matches, we had 15 chances to score and we conceded three goals and an amazing free-kick so the boys do what they can. "They are trying hard, with problems as we have injuries, but we have the boys fighting hard. I'm not happy with the result and I wasn't happy with the result against Leicester of course, but I'm happy with my players. No criticism to my players." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"Obviously, it's a bad result for us. We are never happy with a draw - especially in a match where we are so dominant, but that's the reality." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a football team that you know is not one of the best teams in the world; Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers. "[Spending £300m] is not enough. The price for the big clubs is different than for the other clubs. The big historical clubs are normally punished in the market because of that history." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"When you tell a club like Man Utd, do you think Milan is not as big as us? You think Real Madrid are not as big as we are? "I know what a big club is. One thing is a big club and another thing is a big football team. They are two different things. "When you speak about responsibilities to win the Premier League, Tottenham doesn't have that responsibility because they are not a club with the same history as us. "Arsenal don't have the responsibility to win it. Chelsea don't have the responsibility to win it. When you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking about the history of the club." - JOSE MOURINHO |

SIRcumalot: You see the reason, I said some criticise the manager because it's fanciful to do so, when you point it out, some holier than thou people will start scolding you. Everybody in the media and those associated with the club has been clamouring for Jose to start the combo, when he did it, he is slated. Jose has his faults, but when people decides to give him bad name in order to kill him, it doesn't look good even as a human being. |

CapitalCee:Yes you have... But the bone of contention wasn't about comparisons to previous seasons, was it? You said that in relation to the trolls, that you must be doing something right for trolls to be swarming your thread in recent times. Anyway, as much as you've really improved compared to previous seasons, I dare say that you are still a long way off especially taking cognizance of the resources you have at your disposal. Hence, I believe there is every tendency that you should have done better than what you're doing now. My point is... At the start of the season it seemed Mou has had everything all figured out and he was actually competing. All of a sudden, he started being a coward and approaching games like an inexperienced manager. And for me, that was where the team started nose-diving. Well, it's all good though. At least you guys are still in 2nd position. But from every indication, it seems it won't be for long because your coach is definitely running out of ideas. And I would still state that at some point earlier in the season you were playing actually well. But now...? |

CapitalCee:Mourinho told you this? Same Mou that dropped one of our better players (Herrera) last season to the bench doesn't have freedom? Same Mou that left a fit Shaw on the bench? Same Mou that benches Mkhitaryan or drops him from the match day squad? Same Mou that plays Lukaku almost every game even when he was serving us bullshit?

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 8:26am On Dec 27, 2017 |
dmcdad:If your definition of playing sweet football is just tiki-taka style,then we no dey play well. I can easily say that we've played more attractive games this season than the few games you guys they use to flog us now. |

SIRcumalot: Mkhitaryan is not exactly that dribbler, or may be he is still adjusting to the new challenge. Mkhitaryan and Mata should fight for one position. We need a dribbler who can cut in behind the defence line or tear it apart like Salah. Salah is still not a world class player, so someone even better. Pogba cannot burst with top speed. We need one. We can play three in the middle against big teams. Matic, Pogba and another top midfielder. Someone who can do week in week out what Sissoko did in Euro 2016 final. The third position we can work on, is playing a good ball control striker like Martial in some matches. It is not every time Lukaku plays 90 minutes and just wait there for perfect cross. Manchester City, Tottenham do not play the big striker, but the ones who can involve in build up. 2 Likes |

Pep the famous magic worker didn't work his magic on Navas, nasri or Iheanacho. Na only sterling name everybody dey call. Like sterling Wey we watch for Liverpool wasn't already a very gifted footballer. He chased duds like Sagna, Clichy, Zabaleta, Kolarov etc but Mourinho must perform magic with darmian and his ilk All of you really need to chill on the pep the player miracle worker narrative. See Coman post pep. I haven't seen one person blame pep for Iheanacho, who was rated as one of the brightest young talents in the world before Pep came. |

SIRcumalot:Playing good football ain't about playing the tiki-taka style. You can play good football without playing that style. It's just a way of playing. One of many ways to play good footie. Tottenham are playing some good football, but are they playing tiki-taka? Nope... Real Madrid plays good football too, but do they play tiki-taka? Definitely not. Present day Barça plays good football, as always and albeit not like in yesteryears, they still do now. But do they play tiki-taka presently? Far from it. One thing that is common amongst teams who play good football, is attack. The way they play the ball around and how they attack with the ball. Of course defence is also part of the game, and is not being undermined here. But then, football (in its attacking sense) is a joy to watch. You remember the game against Man City vs Monaco last season at the Etihad? It was an absolute gem to watch and whether you were a supporter or hater of any of both teams, you'd appreciate the end-to-end football played on that night. How about the UCL game between Napoli and City? It was spectacular! Why? Because of the attacking intent of the game. Now back to the nitty-gritty. I stated it some few posts ago that earlier in the season you guys played some good football and you scored lots of goals too. At a time, United and City had just 4 goals against, and City was just a goal or 2 ahead in terms of goals for. That was when you guys were actually playing football. But all of a sudden, Mourinho being Mourinho started approaching games with a negative mindset and attitude and then the amount of goals scored dropped, while also you guys started conceding more. Pep has always said the best form of defense is attack. And it's evident in the fact that they've scored the most and conceded the least. If only Mourinho would be brave again and do things accordingly, I think it would really help to reshape things, else, I think the 2nd place would even be up for grabs by other teams. Anyway, let's just see how things unfold. 1 Like |
