Even if we win... Mourinho is worse than Pep this season. Horrendous management.

Look I think we're just tired as well. We played on Monday night. Didn't get back until 4am on a Tuesday. I'm not surprised we're playing like shite.

I agree about his subs though. He got it wrong there.

Also why can't we see more youth playing? That is probably the one thing I miss from the LVG days.

Both teams suffered rubbish management last season and ended on the same amount of points. New season, new managers. Spent roughly same mount of money as Pep, has had many more years experience in the Premier League, is behind Pep in the league...

He is on some tough stuff tonight. Van Gaal would been proud of him, absolutely ridiculous.

I don't think it matters too much that Jose managed in the league before. A few managers came to England and had instant success. It doesn't always work like that anyway. Pep knew he was coming to City for a long while before last season so there shouldn't be much of excuse for him either.

Well we're talking about their performance as whole. All in all one could argue we've been extremely unlucky in the league. We've also won silverware this season which has to count for something. I'm not saying Pep is a shite coach, far from it, but if Jose went to Monaco and played with one recognised midfielder, defending a 2 goal lead - the caf would bloody crash - there would be threads started calling for him to be sacked. Jose hasn't been perfect by any stretch but IMO he has done better than Pep.

Conte is defensive coach, only morons would argue. Just so is Jose himself.
My point isn't to do with Conte, it's more about Jose being a hypocrite.

Mourinho claimed to play an attacking style as a shot at Conte. He's playing football and making subs that would run LVG for his money.

This is a weird argument.

So far Pep has done as good as Jose in general if not better in EPL.

Of course experience in a league counts especially for someone like Jose who dominated and won loads in it before.

Yes. He has. Overall I think Jose has been better. What's weird in thinking that?

About how experience does not matter, how pep knew before.

Think about it.

The real experience vs the knowing that you will go there one day.

It matters to a degree. What I was saying that there were managers who came in and did brilliantly in the first season so I don't think we should pay too much attention to it whether it's his first season or not. Jose obviously knows the premier league better and he should be doing better in the premier league. I don't disagree with that.

Well of course he is, who can have doubt about that?
But the fact remains, Conte is a defensive manager. Jose is a hypocrite by trying to persuade people that he is not. Nothing to do with Conte really.

We're in March and I genuinely preferred the style of football under Van Gaal.

I'm still waiting for Mourinho to do something about our attack. We do need players but there's bound to be a better way to get decent play out there.

I'm just going to say it one more time.

Mourinho is a huge hyopcrite and a coward. Don't want to have a offensive minded LWB in Shaw, let Jones play LWB instead of changing the formation and let Rashford and Lingard or Young come in and try to create a chance.

But hey, it's not allow to criticize Mourinho. People would call you a WUM.
:lol:

That is going too far. I have to say the way we played against big team under LVG were much better of course.

Even with all the shits, we still look like we are going to score and we do under Jose.

Going too far? It's my opinion - hardly much you can do to change that.

He has it all to prove that last season was an anomaly in his career and not the new norm = lost it.

BBC Interview right now with Lineker:

Jose says he would never have sold Di Maria, Hernandez or Welbeck

"But he scored over 100 goals with madrid"
Defensive manager always has been, tonight was the epitome of a jose team defense comes before attack but apparently hes not a defensive manager
Nice man management of Rashford too

it's shocking how bad he has been. LvG's first season was better.

It's nice to see the blind not letting their condition hinder their enjoyment of the beautiful game.

Football under LVG? Where we barely created a chance?
Ok. Whatever you like. Sure we have problems with scoring but to say you preferred LVG's style is a bit strange.
