Look at the discrepancy between the performances of Ilkay Gundogan and Mkhitaryan for example - both starters at Borussia Dortmund before their 2016 transfers where Mkhitaryan was by far the more dynamic player.

Guardiola brought in players with the talent and the adaptability to give him what he needs. He has coached them into the exact unit he wants. Sometimes it appears that Mourinho expects his players to figure it out for themselves.

The evidence is borne out time and again. He can drill a back four expertly and make sure few gaps materialise. If it’s lockdown you’re looking for, then Mourinho can give it to you.

Beyond that, though, and he requires innovation from his ranks. As certain modest Premier League teams have shown in recent weeks, if you can make a decent job of repelling their attacks, then there is a very good chance of getting a good result against United.

He admitted last season that he likes his players to come up with their own attacking solutions; he equips teams with the bedrock of a solid defence then they are asked to solve their own problems. That is perhaps the reason why the likes of Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata are wavering.

In this respect, he could not differ any more from Guardiola. A few viewings of City will ensure you can see where runners are expected to appear and what exactly should be done to construct an attack from any moment of possession.

The difference between Mourinho and Guardiola is that the former expects his attackers to be good but the latter shows them how to be good. There have been significant improvements in the performances of Kevin De Bruyne – a player Mourinho cast aside – and his midfield partner David Silva. Sane and, most startlingly, Raheem Sterling have taken momentous strides under Guardiola.

Out of United’s attackers it would be a stretch to say any of them have ameliorated their level since Mourinho arrived. Jesse Lingard is maybe the only exception.

Dayo's Amalanomics can be very excruciatingly annoying, like condemning Terry for not winning the UCL while on the pitch, but when you mention Ballack, excuses like "dragging his team to the finals" and "beasting" will start flying upandan. But in these arguments, a lot of things can be learned. Lies are exposed and truths revealed.

For example, yesterday Fůnlord posted a statement from Football365.com which opined that Morata had scored only 2 goals since September, it's Dayo that busted that lie wide open. So he has his merit and demerit. I'd rather read these arguments, the ones I find interesting that is, than prefer this section to be overrun with idleness and lies, coz arguments exposes a lot of lies.

It'd be for United not EPL.

Some people take things too seriously, the way they keep taking it personal because of his excessive trolling on hidden.

Dayo is very important to this section, despite his arif wahala I still miss coogar too

Accommodation controversy sorted:






"If the fans want me to be comfortable, that's the way I feel very comfortable, Because I am very lazy and because I like to arrive in the hotel. I don't want anyone to be worried because I live in a two square metres room, I am living in an apartment inside of a hotel, where I have all the comfort, the support, where I have everything I want like I am living in a house.

So if they are worried about me being comfortable, happy and supported, I really am. If they want me in some house that I don't like, in some place I don't like, lonely from my assistants, if they want that, I would be a sad guy and a sad guy doesn't work well."
