The board is not smiling. lol. No wonder Ed went on Vaca when other clubs were busy negotiating deals. Personally, I wish we could sign Maguire or Toby but then, I will never blame the board for locking up. It's time for Mourinho to earn his pay. 1 Like |

weedtaker: From Skysports, Ed has been negotiating with lots of clubs for players asked for, but most of them raised the prices of the players way above their worth [Tottenham, Bayern Munich] and some clubs ain't willing to sell [Leicester City] though the player wants to move. Some players don't wanna come cos of they won't be guaranteed starting shirt [Axel].. |

Now this is the time Mou should prove the "Special One" thing. Let him do a Ranieri, Conte even SAF. No be to dey collect fat salary. SAF had a mediocre team and still won the league. Let him promote Chong and Gomez Draft Lukaku to the R, Sanchez to The L.. Then Martial acts like a false 9. Like this Sanchez ........................ Lukaku .................. Martial Pogba Matic/Pereira Fred This formation will solve our problems.. Lukaku tend to drift to the RW most times to make crosses.. Martial can always interchange with him.. To confuse the defenders infront of them.. [Simple Sturvs] Lingard, Rashford, Mata can deputise for the front 3.. Any case of injury.. Chong and Gomez can come in.. I think Mou shouldn't have loaned Tuanzebe out.. |

I won’t blame Mou when our defenders start serving us dross. In Pep first season even with their attractive football we saw how much they suffered with a bad back line. If we don’t get above average defenders, we will suffer this season. We will defend deep against the top teams if I am Mou with Smalling and Jones as my CB. We never learn. |

larride:Told some friends the reason we defend deep is cos of poor defenders.. He needed defenders to fix that but could not get cos of the inflated market. He is/was ready to offload 'em dead woods. But he can't do that without replacing them. |

JayKayMaybachz: It could have made more sense for the board to refuse to invest if Mou was asking for attackers, they could say what exactly did he do with the attacking players he had to justify asking for more attackers. But no Mou is asking for CB, defenders. Did you notice we took a fair share of points from the big teams last season when we defended deep? Our problem last season was the small teams that were tearing apart our defense whenever we go full attacking. DDG save more shot than Ederson had to face ffs. We curse Smalling, Jones, Lindelof, Darmain and Rojo here almost every match day and our manager wants to get new defenders and we are crying blue murder. Even during SAF eras we always have a stable/solid defense which allow us to concentrate more on attacking because we know we have able defenders. Pep met worn out and average defenders and got new and better ones, he met Hart, loan him out bought Bravo, he flopped and was replaced again the next season with Ederson, he was topping the league in Jan and they still get him another defender worth 57m. We go wail tire this season if Smalling, Jones, Lindelof, Darmain and Rojo are our defenders. 1 Like 1 Share |

larride: Bro, don't let Mourinho confuse us. Even though i want a CB to be signed but that wasn't really our problem last season. remember we shipped in only 28 goals. Our problem last season was not creating and scoring enough and from what I have seen in preseaon, Oga Mourinho is yet to fix that. Let him stop confusing himself. Let us see a progressive and purposeful style of play first, let defenders be the problem. 3 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by slimghost(m): 11:32am On Aug 09, 2018 |
JayKayMaybachz: That's the confusion I wrote about. The reason we defend deep is because we have a defensive minded manager whose first tactics is to DEFEND. I don't know the world class defenders at Liverpool that allow them play beautifully and score tons of goals. Remember, Best form of defense is to attack but we all know Mourinho's best form of defense is to DEFEND. 1 Like |

I remember when we bought Evra and Vidic, we nearly killed them both after their first couple of matches. Did SAF let them rot on the bench and signed world class defenders? Hell no! SAF improved those 2 players and turned them into world class players. Those 2 I mentioned reminds me of Shaw and Lindelof. Mourinho has proved right the theory that he only works with mercenaries and can never develop players. We are blaming the board? Was it not the same Mourinho that convinced the board to shell out £30m on Lindelof making them believe that would solve his problem. What has the scam done with Lindelof? Nothing! Rather he wants a blank cheque to keep on wasting the club's finances on fantasies. 3 Likes |

slimghost: Brother, we shipped in 28 goals because of DDG and not because of our tight defense, goals win match, defense win titles. If we have someone like Bravo instead of DDG last season we could have finished 6th or 7th. We are porous at the back. You really want to play high line with our CBs? No matter how good a manager you are, you can’t turn average joes into world beater. Why didn’t Pep stick with Mangala, Sagna, Kolarov, Zabaleta last season? Why did Pep had to buy Laporte when Stones started getting injured last season? Yes we play drab football sometimes but that doesn’t excuse the joke or CBs that we have. You made mention of Evra and Vidic, the difference is that while Evra and Vidic pick up after some time, Smalling, Jones, Darmain, Rojo have been with us for couple of years and they keep serving us shit every year, there’s no magic wand anywhere that will turn our average defenders into above average ones. 1 Like 1 Share |

larride:You haven't still addressed my concerns. So the defenders were the reason up till now our team looks like a Sunday pub team? The reason why our players can't string up passes together? The reason the team can't create chances? Haba! Let's start telling ourselves the truth. Liverpool had no world class defender last season but we saw the progression and purpose in their style of play. Zabaleta, Kolarov and Sagna were past their best before they left. smailing and Jones at a time under SAF were regarded as the future of our defense. and hey, Evra and Vidic were just average players when they joined just like Shaw and lindelof. So let your special one develop those potentials and stop looking for mercenaries. And bro, we don't play drab football sometimes, we play drab football most times and that can never be blamed on defenders. Let's start being truthful here. 4 Likes |

slimghost: Haven’t you noticed that we start having issues whenever we start defending deep to help out our weak defense whenever we come up against top teams? I don’t know if you do watch most of our matches because the matches I know we play drab football was whenever we play the big guns, if you say we play drab football against the small teams then you are not been truthful. How many years did it take a Evra and Vidic to show us all that they aren’t average defenders? How many years are Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Darmain even Shaw, how many years have they been serving us shite? Yet you just expect Mou to turn them into something they will never be. Every top teams build from the back, we will continue to suffer with the kind of CB we have, if you think otherwise we will just disagree to agree. |
