Jose already has plausible deniability. Whatever happens this season. He can always say he wasn't supported by the board. If you point to last season he will simple say: city spent more money that is why they won. Since it's almost a guarantee now that the biggest spender will most certainly win the league. Utd didn't spend much,so Utd isn't ready to win the league this season. Is what I imagine Jose would say to himself and he won't be totally wrong. 1 Like |

José caused a lot of havoc with his mouth this past season. He did the right thing in refusing to blame individual players in his presser but it's for the wrong reason. The team is so disjointed. Pogba doesn't trust anyone and wants to do everything by himself. Attackers go hiding in matches and refuse to show to collect the ball. Winning teams have a strong team chemistry. It's not the panacea to our problems, but it sure will go a long way. Jose doesnt care about that. He sees his players as machines who must execute his orders exactly he way he wants. He may have tried to protect them in his last presser but that'll mean so little now because the damage has already been done months ago. I'm still optimistic sha. If personal egos are put aside (by everyone) and focus is placed on the game. Things will start looking better. |

pharod:Sorry no vex o, Oga Company manager. That still shouldn't stop him from speaking out on matters like this. Is he happy seeing the institution he helped build go into ruins? Everybody is speaking out. Fans, ex-players. But SAF has chosen to remain quiet. Probably because he endorsed Mourinho for the job in the first place. That's why I like my club. Nobody send anybody. Boateng fvck up, Kalle lash am for public. van Gaal do weyrey, Don Ulli change am for am. No eye-service. You mess up, you get called out. |

eph12:The playing style,I get. Their was a simple trade off when we went for Jose as our manager that few of us agree to. Play any kind of soccer you like and win us the league title.that didn't happen. And he Is still here. Why? And now we have also refused to buy him the gidigbo player he wanted. See why I said it goes deeper that whomever we hire ? |

ManU never needed Pogba let's be honest, that's the problem, is pobga a central midfielder or 10? Jose keeps shifting him left and right, at Juventus pirlo was able to distribute the ball well, so Pogba played ok, never saw Pogba as worldclass, even for France he didn't really do anything, the real worker was mbappe, Jose just signed Pogba to make noise, same thing with Sanchez, just to make noise, in the end your team isn't balanced because one fool feels the need to show off |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 10:00am On Aug 20, 2018 |
SIRcumalot:When did this trade off happen? I can't really say Jose is a defensive coach. Some stats don't really back that notion. He is only defensive against top teams, especially when the teams have superior power. Jose had the ability to motivate his players to overstretch themselves for him, that was what I believe the board was looking at. His team will run, mark, pursue every ball, play with all seriousness. And tbh, we saw these in the first season, especially during the early months, but he can't motivate anybody anymore. If everyone was running around, doing their best even if it's poor since we say they are poor players, nobody will complain about Mourinho. But this team don't want to play football anymore. And we can't change the whole team because of one man 3 Likes |

SIRcumalot:This might actually be the most sensible scummy comment so far. Moyes was picked because he had consistency "they" didn't want to lose that with Alex's departure. But even consistency needs a strong back plan and support. Then comes LVG, a man with experience managing at top level, something Moyes was believed to lack, so here comes LVG but then what went wrong? Impatience, wanting trophies, seeing an opportunity to get a "winner" in Mou is what has brought united to where they are now from 6 seasons ago. Apart from managerial appointment, what about squad development over the past 6seasons. The much maligned signing of Fellaini has been the trump card in some games. Mata is still in the team, played his part atimes. Saying improper investments in squad as a factor may still be very untrue. United haven't had a top 9 like Lukaku in a long time, yes they lost Di Maria but now you guys have Sanchez. Is it the old players from Alex's regime causing problems, no, but still this set of new players lack winning mentality or basically a clear direction. Defence is the problem? remember a name Evans? Are united defenders all that horrible. With so many transfer windows yet the "problem" remains. Will buying a world class defender make them play as a team. United still had one of the best defence last season, correct? United's real problem is identifying what the real problem is and the cause of the problem. Pick a manager that suits the current available players if Mou can't help them. 1 Like |

The board has no idea what they want and that is how they will sink this already leaky united ship. Drown them,and maybe we can still salvage this team.
