That's a good defensive record right there

But the man utd fans here know ball pass us.

Joezinho:



Kane has scored 10 goals and made 7 assists in his 8 games this season.

Directly involved in 30 goals in 27 games under Mou..

Highest point in La liga history- Mourinho 100 points

Highest goals in La liga history - Mourinho 121 goals

Spurs will definitely win trophies this season. They have everything to do. Even squad depth now.

Regulion looks really good too.

You stated that he has never played 10, meanwhile I never mentioned anything about 10. I checked up where he has been most effective and I realized the pattern.

We don't play those formations. We play a 4-2-3-1. Unless you want us to switch formations just for him when he is on the field. And as a midfielder the roles often overlap. He is the only midfielder i know of that must play in exactly a kind of role or else he can't perform.

Let me tell you the truth about Pogba. In all those teams you mentioned he was not the best player or the most important player but just part of a system that worked. That is the secret to "unlocking" him at Man Utd.

We initially made the mistake of building the team around him and making him the main man rather than just buying good midfielders and slotting him in to play a role. He is not built for that. Make him a system player like at Juve and France and you will see the best out of him.

Pogba was not a 10 as a youth player, he wasn’t a 10 in Juve, he does not play as a 10 for France.

When he was used as a 10 for a short period under JM he struggled to get involved in games and people said he had to be played in a deeper role so that he can influence games.

Now you are saying he should be moved back again to 10?

Thank you. There is no single position he has not been played in, yet for 4 years there haven't been any time he sustained a top level for for 10 games consecutively. Something Rashford, Martial, Even Small Greenwood has done.

They want Pogba that likes slowing games down with excessive dribbles to play 10

A position that you'll have very little space to work with, so you'll need to be fast , think fast, because when the ball gets to you , it's always in the opposing area where you are easily closed down. If Pogba plays Bruno role, Una go curse am las las

His real role is in the deep or as a CM. It's just that Ole wants quick passing and movements, but Pogba won't give you that and he can't chase ball when we are on the back foot like the way Mctominay, Fred or Bruno dey chase players like thief

People sometimes say Bruno has a poor game but most of the times, the movement of the forward line are not at sync at all. Look at his link up play with VDB and Mata very sleek. And his (bruno) position is the must difficult and complex in the team, because he is tasked with finding space in oppositions half. The only thing we demanded from Pogba is just to be serious and orchestrate play from deep, yet he fails always with all the tasks given to him.

In less than just a year Bruno has done more than what pogba has done totally in 4 years.

I agree with this. The team can't be built around him. I think they were trying to build the team around him because of how much he was bought. That was a mistake.

Meanwhile, I have always hated that 4231 formation even in my FM days

izzou:


KingAlabi, you have a mail

Mourinho is a defensive coach, he sets up his team to play in a defensive way, even at United there was a time he won 4:0 consecutively.

He is a top class coach no doubt, but he is defensive.

When you begin watch ball

Yeah i don't like 4-2-3-1 especially if you are trying to play attacking pressing football with a high line.

Mehn, these streets are rough and unforgiving! You guys get carried away so easily, also, both dont play same role, so why the comparison? Maybe we play double 10, and get both of them to share penalties, and you'll see that Pogba is also a numbers guy.

Not a fair thing to say!

Shape yesterday wasn't always a 4-2-3-1 though

But I dislike the formation too

Pogba for me can't play among those 2 midfield anchors behind Bruno

He takes too much time on the ball atimes loosing it in dangerous area

He doesn't track back often

E dey pain me because I once loved pogba, now I want him out of my team, hope he proves me wrong.

The thing just weak me

KingAlabi:
I know say if PSG begin chop us people go rush call me out
The way dem do about turn yesterday sweet me die.

Make I take that W for PSG upcoming L

I saw your post where you abused Ole after the line up was out so, you're not in a position to claim this W.

Apart from that Jogba is freaking slow and sluggish. And have you seen the sheer number of passes he has been misplacing?

As in, it's very close to marrying a 3rd wife, and saying that you are enjoying yourself now, maybe the 1st and 2nd can fuvk off, if they want. We all know that 4-2-3-1 wont work when playing Pogba. He can excel in other formations/ settings e.g. 4-3-3, a 4-5-1, 3-4-3, 3-5-2, or even 4-4-2. You cant have Pogba as a deep lying midfielder, wont work. But then, the manager loves 4-2-3-1, so do you want the guy to kill himself? I am so sure there are systems that wont help Fernandes too!

I watched Pogba play during the break, he was very good.

Also, Mourinho used Pogba really well!

Defensive coach why na

My God, what happened to Spurs? Sh1t!

Complacency?

3-3

Wtf! From 3 nil

Darkness my old friend

cc izzou
cc Mourinho MCM

At a point Mourinho dropped him

Let's leave that personal issues shiiiittt

Pogba hardly adds anything to the defence

Even Bruno from that no 10 position, adds more defensively than Pogba in most games

I love pogba, but he needs to step up

That's not the usual Pogba. He's off form, doesn't mean he can't recover

3-0 to 3-3

The god of football takes pleasure in making people eat their words.

Lmao Mourinho drew this game? Defense has gone to the dogs. We don't have defenders anymore

If only we can have expertise in our defense

He turns around 100 times faster than our Dangote trailer of a defender

3-0 to 3-3

Some people will not wait for game to finish. They'll just come here and open mouth waaaaa......
Everything must be an agenda with them.

Sebi na the Spurs we dey see so. Because we spread yansh and allow them knock us for 6 and because they were leading West Ham 3-0, Spurs and Mourinho have suddenly become the next best thing since Tai Chi?
We were doing 4-0 FC in Mourinho's second season yet we know how that season ended.


If na Ole just bottle 3-0 home lead like this, this place would already be full of agenda posts.


Wait make match finish....but no. Can never be them.

Bruno is doing nothing that Pogba has not done before, so take it easy abeg. Bruno plays all the penalties and is manning the number 10 position which gives him the chance to rack up assists.

Pogba loses the ball as a 10, Bruno gives the ball away as a 10........when playing counter-attacks, Bruno no near Pogba, pass accuracy nko? Bruno no reach. Pogba is just a victim of circumstances. Systems changed, and it does not favor him. Just change the system and watch him excel.

Not like the current system is even good.

eph12:

Well, apart from the part that he has never been a fast player, he has been ‘off form’ for over a year now. Go figure.

This is looking like it's going to be the highest score season in the EPL

Nothing like home or away again oh

Make fans do fast return abeg
