GloryIsaac: But he stupid leopard that Mourinho is changes his spot and starts playing attacking football when we go down with a goal or 2. Why he does not attack from the onset is what we Dont understand. Honestly I Dont know how we an yesterday because I got angry and left the match because our play has been unadventurous and I did not expect us to come back after going 2goals down. Na morning I see say we done win match. How many times have we come back like this under Mourinho? I repeat, we should not be this far behind city. Imagine that Newcastle match fa! |

There are different ways of playing football. For all of Klopp's high pressing style, he hasn't won a single trophy outside his country. A league title winning team went trophiless under Pep A team that made CL final 3 seasons consecutively and won 1, couldn't make a CL final under Pep If a style is tested and guarantees success for you, why change it. 11 Likes |

eph12: Mou is not known as a high pressing coach, it's not his tactics and it won't start now in my opinion. Mou team over the years have always been known for their blistering counter attack. Most times we focus so much on Mou that we exonerate the players who loves making a simple pass looks like rocket science. If I ask you Mou tactics Now, you yourself will be able to tell me what it is, Mou has always been a conservative manager, sit back relax and hit on the counter, there are times his team will attack and attack from start to finish and there are some times he will set them up to sit back and hit on counter. There's no one way to play soccer, it's a tested and trusted formula for Mou, why will be want to change that? I think sometimes we tend to interpret counter-attack as park the bus tactics. Even the best manager in the league history did not employ a high pressing tactics and he's known for his counter-attacking style. ghen ghen pressing is not the only way to play football. For all of Liverpool Klopp ghen ghen pressing, he still remains trophyless with them, even Pep went trophyless last season. Each manager will use the formula that's going to bring him success. Whether you like the style or not is another thing entirely. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

My main observation is that our players are lazy during pressing, except Lingard and Herrera! If 80% of them can give the kind of energy those 2 give repeatedly, then I woulda comfortably be blaming oga Mou 100%. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 1:33pm On Mar 07, 2018 |
elrony: We have the laziest players in the squad, you will see them lose the ball and instead of them to try recover the ball, you either see them blame the grass, blame the ref, blame their other team mate or even blame themselves. I can't count how many times I have seen them jogging upandown. Check whenever Lingard is pressing from the front and he see his teammates jogging around, he joins them and just stop the pressing. The truth is that it doesn't start today, our players have always been lazy with the zonal marking system that's always employed. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 2:35pm On Mar 07, 2018 |
larride:Which of these players were lazy before, either presently or in their previous life? The Sanchez experiment is not working out why? Which of these players couldn't pass before? Is it that they don't have a strategy when it comes to attack or they purposely refuse to play as instructed or inject some energy until they are down or time running out? Is Mourinho purposely refusing to put some square peg in a square hole in a couple of positions in the team? It can't be money because if he can spend 70-90m on a single player and offer big wages to his players, then the transfer budget is big enough. If you are saying he has to change the full team before he can be able to play as a team and compete with the big boys then we should just close shop and go home because that's never going to happen, because players will come and go. Nobody is even asking the team to go gung ho on opponents, but something as simple as keeping the ball, passing to each other, and showing some training ground attacking movement is what we want to see. These guys play like they don't know each other, like they don't know where to be if the other is with the ball. In summary, the quality of football on display does not give a good account of the amount spent. Teams like newcastle, burnley, stoke, crystal palace etc should never ever make United play conservative, depressing football 4 Likes |

elrony:I will understand that if I see a livid coach on the stand, not someone with a smug on his face sitting on the bench and waiting for the team to be in real trouble or time running out. The team is useless everyone says, but one of the major culprits was brought in by him. Does it mean Mourinho cannot find a way to make Pogba a weapon or he is insisting on a particular style for Pogba? Off the ball movements are learnt in training because you have an idea of what your guy is most likely to do with the ball. It must have been practised many times in training. Do you see anything like that? Does the zonal marking account for the poor way we attack unless we are pushed to a corner? We play too narrow, too close to the central, which makes it easier for defence to manage, only Rashford tries to stretch the team. But when he is with the ball, his options are limited. I look at the 18 and i can only see one or two red shirts even when we are looking for a goal. The players should be pouring forward but something is holding them back, and our manager is not there to push them forward. Mourinho can't afford to change the whole team.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 4:58pm On Mar 07, 2018 |
larride: I will keep saying this. even SAF played counter attacking football against the likes of arsenal, ceding possession and hitting the opponent. the majority of the times SAF team play high pressing game is usually against the canon fodders. against the top teams fergie is conservative. mourinhos tactics needs runners and fighters added with ruthless finishers to excel. players like Martial who sulks easily, Pogba who is petulant like a girl and error prone Lindeloff and Smalling are not mourinho kind of players, he is just using them because there are few options. |

If 80% of them can give the kind of energy those 2 give repeatedly, then I woulda comfortably be blaming oga Mou 100%.[/quote] you know I made mention of Lingards contribution to the team, but it was not well highlighted. during the last game, he was taken back to deputise for Valencia, at wing back, he took it gracefully and caused their defence a lot of trouble. the young man has been used at RWF, LWF, AM and SS all these season, in each instance, he keeps his head down to perform for the team. That's playing for the badge not for yourself. I remember Rooney being juncketed across the attack and even in central midfield during fergie days, in all those times, you won't even notice he is playing out of position, he still plays his heart out. That's why till tommorow my love for the guy is everlasting. Most of our players now are whinners and sulkers, play them in a position where bodies are need, they will immediately become moody and begin to ask for a transfer, just like Mkhi. I once rem ember the day we trail West ham by 2 nil at half-time, Fergie moved pa Giggs to left back to initiate attack from there, he did well. it surprises me when fans call out the managers for daring to use a player out of his "comfort zone". Sorry if as a forward you can't play everywhere across the attack, then you are limited. Pogba will not make fergie's first 11 TBH, despite his talent for example |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 6:03pm On Mar 07, 2018 |
CapitalCee:What about how Fergie played against the smaller teams? We not talking about a one off but week in week out even with technically limited players. Who bought Lindeloff? Smalling that we love to criticize was nominated for player of the month last month, I wonder who was bribed. |
