Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by pharod(m): 4:08pm On Aug 17, 2018
I thought Sanchez said that he can play anywhere across the Frontline. Why can't Mourinho try him at that RW and play Martial on the left.? We should be trying to get the best out of our best players, not playing them out of position all the time like Mata on the RW.

Honestly, Pep is heartless sad. Just with a little peek into how good Jorginho is at passing, I can only imagine what City would have been like if they succeeded in signing him.

Teams would have to endure the pain of running around for almost 10-15mins without touching the ball.

We should just play Matic Pogba Fred and Pereira at same time and forget about wing play. Our wing play is dead sef so no need trying

You can't play all ur best players at the same time. What happens when one gets injured or something? Fellaini or McTomminay, right?

BTW, what formation will accommodate all of them?

First of all we need a good run, dominating teams along the way. Just for confidence sake

Chelsea change Coaches like Manual Gear, yet they've never complained of Transition, rather, they've won UCL, Europa, EPL, FA, LC, CS in the process.

Anything to get rid of Mou is a welcome development for me. Kinda not feeling like following United wholeheartedly this Season. With Mou in charge, I'm losing passion for the Club I cherish more than PMB Administration.

Zizou has pattern of Play, he ain't a defensive-minded Coach like Mou. He's kinda good at man-management. And I'm convinced Pogba and Martial would like to play and give 200% under him.


Sack Mou, and bring in Zizou........ I say (with tears falling heavily in my Eyes).


Apples to oranges...Chelsea have a director of football, all we have is Ed Businessman Woodward...But Yeah FIRE MOURINHOE.

Not that I am saying it would work, but you start with your best team. You don’t punish a player for being one of your best players by leaving him on the bench.
We are not in the position to be over calculating and starting an inferior player in place of a superior player.

In terms of a formation to fit all 4, a 4-4-2 diamond will work with Matic at the base, Fred LM, Pereira RM, Pogba at the apex. This becomes a 4-3-1-2 against smaller teams.

Manchester United may be Mou's last shot at coaching a top team in Europe.

EPL: Chelsea have Sarri, Spurs have committed to Poch long term, City and Pep are long termed and even if the position becomes vacant, Mou does not stand a shot at coaching City, especially not after Pep, Arsenal are never hiring Mou (bad history and different values and philosophies)

La Liga: Madrid have Lope and in the instance, things don't pan out well between both, Mou stands no chance for a return to Madrid as he burnt a lot of bridges before he left.

Barca will never hire Mou because of different philosophies.

D. Simeone is the identity of Athletico Madrid, I don't see Simeone leaving anytime soon. However, if for some reason that position becomes vacant A. Madrid may be a possibility but again, they lack the financial clout to compete in the transfer market and that typically leads to a whinny Mou.

Ligue 1: PSG want to play attractive football which is different from what Mou offers, they have Tuchel right now and he fits their bill. Other teams lack the finances, they are breeding grounds for top European teams and Mou is not interested in such.

Serie A: If there is a shot to coach another top team after United, it would be in the Serie A.

However, if you are not coaching Juventus, you are not getting the attention and bright lights in Europe especially considering Mou wants his teams to bid for the most expensive and best players.

Napoli FC have an experienced coach in C. Ancelotti and that seems like a great fit after losing Sarri to Chelsea.

Inter Milan have Spalletti who is very experienced in the league and a considerate spender.

Roma and my dear Milan are still trying to get stabilize financially, consequently, a Mou may be a distraction as both teams lack the financial muscle to bid for the best players.

More so, the best players are not exactly attracted to the Serie A except you are Juventus who already have Allegri.

Bundesliga:

Bayern recently committed long-term to Nico Kovac and there is no pressure to win the Bundesliga as they are already crowned in my opinion. Bayern is judged in the UCL and Bavarians enjoy attractive football which Mou does not offer.

Borrusia Dortmund lack the financial clout to compete for the signings Mou would need if he was to sit in the dugout for BVB.

This makes sense, at least Paul Pogba has no much defensive work and can concentrate more on the attack. The collection of midfielders in this team right now should not be dominated for any reason except the tactics are just so bad. I expect Jose Mourinho to fashion the right spanners to throw in the works of almost every opponent he faces this season.

But who will be the front two?
The obvious will be Alexis Sanchez-Romelu Lukaku. For me though, Alexis will be on the bench and Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial takes his place.

Also, Luke Shaw has to be very effective for this formation to have some hope because the right side is already comatose. Maybe Diogo Dalot has something in store for the fans?

If this formation is used then it would Lukaku starting with Sanchez. Martial and Rashford would be next in line before Lingard.
But this would only be a temp fix and not a formation i want long term. It would help minimize the problems fitting Pogba into a working midfield and also take Sanchez from the left wing where he has been useless so far.

I doubt Pogba can operate at the tip of the diamond. He's not as nimble nor agile, doesn't have those zippy zappy one touch play nor the intelligent movement to operate as a false 10 in the role. Mata/Lingard will be better fit in that role than Pogba.

I see Pogba very similar to Gerrard in his style of play. Both operate in between CM and no 10 role and loves whipping in those long balls. In fact, their long passes are much more better than their one touch play.

I feel a 352 set up will be the best for all. Matic should be able to operate in a 3-man defence. If little Daley Blind had no difficulty playing as a defender in a 2-man defence, I don't see why Matic can't operate in a 3-man defence. Moreover, his passes will help us at the back.

pogba can surely play there.
and all those qualities you say he lacks,he has shown time and time again in the games he finds himself in that position.
