Mourinho United thread 2016-17

[poet11]

This is true so I am not too much worried about that performance. Remember how we were worldclass in LvG's first preseason and beat all the top teams then we lost the first EPL game and it was the worst start of the season for Man U for like 10 years? Players are also more careful to stay fit and avoid getting injured.

I think Rooney and Zlatan link up very well. Overall boring game, I agree.

Yep and Ox tears up preseason like he is the next Messi then can't even control the ball during the real season.

Di Maria is a winger and man U got 3/4 of the money back.

He was at Benfica and early at Madrid, but the year prior to joining United he was more of a central midfielder, and that's what he was bought to be at United as well.

No. This is what LvG said 15 days before he signed Di Maria:

Now we have five No 9s and four No 10s and we don’t have wingers to play attacking width, not at the highest level, of Ronaldo or Di Maria or something like that. So I have to play also in another way and you have seen that.”

He also played on the wings or up front 95 % + of the time.

I guess that was the problem.

 

[Pogba4Now]

You mean that was the problem for manU?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yes

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Virgin Money in the U.K is offering fixed rate 1 year bonds where the interest paid will be doubled if Man Utd win the premier league this season

 

[Pogba4Now]

Yes

Then what do we do on the wings? Valencia and Young? Only Ferguson can win things with that kind of wings.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You bought the wrong player for the wings. If you wanted a winger, should have got someone else. Di Maria was worth the money you paid for him because he emerged as a world class shuttler, not because of his good-not-great wing play.

 

[Pogba4Now]

He played on the wings for PSG this season and played very well, but again this is Ligue 1.

He only played half of a season or less in midfield, really.

 

[Pogba4Now]

The Pogba saga is going on for too long. It will fail at the last minute like De Gea last year and we will be the laughing stocks once again.

From Man U's website:

POGBA TO HAVE MEDICAL AT AON TRAINING COMPLEX

Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.

Pogba's partners used to be Marchisio, Pirlo and Khedira. Now it will be the likes of Carrick and Fellaini.

 

[Pogba4Now]

The team playing very much like LVG team so far. Slow and boring. What can you expect with Carrick and Fellaini? Both are slow as fuck.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Pretty bad performance and Zlatan goal was offside but this win makes Man U the champions of England. Champions of the English cup beats the champions of the league = champions of England.

Zlatan was pretty bad on and off the ball. I don't know why he was playing so deep. The team clearly is lacking match fitness and sharpness is lacking badly. I hope Mourinho doesn't see this as the best lineup because Fellaini should be nowhere near it.

Valencia again had a great game and fantastic cross for the offside goal.

EDIT: 100 millions won't solve how bad this team is. I am hoping the bad performance is due to lack of match fitness.

 

[Arnau]

Zlatan has always played deep the last years

 

[Dytza]

He used to drop into the centre circle a lot of times in the last 2 years at PSG.

 

[Arnau]

I think that was the plan, pivots open wide to Leicesters CFs sides and Ibra (Rooney) win their back

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You think Zlatan is going to play off the back shoulder of the last defender and beat the offside trap for his goals? LOL
