Yes, I watched him against Brighton, he was terrible, the entire team was, but they have been terrible in several games lately, probably due to playing for a manager that has slowly eroded their confidence and spirit over the season, I also saw this same manager throwing 2 young players under the bus with his usual shit sarcastic attitude and ass kissing his favourites, seemingly oblivious to the fact that our trash displays against Sevilla and West Brom featured both of them and neither of the two he is persecuting, that kind of terrible man management will effect everyone eventually, like a disease spreading.
Hilarious how dramatic you are, this disease you talk about is clearly a good one, because it’s carried a broken team from 5th to 2nd whilst getting to 3 Cup finals in 2 seasons.
I think most teams would love this disease you mention!
You seem to be deluded to our progress and recent success. You know we’re not 15th in the league, right? If he’s losing the squad ruining them, why are we going to finish 2nd and get over 80 points?
You’re also incredibly naive to use the old “We’re Manchester United, we should be winning everything” card in previous posts. The squad he took over were awful, thanks to LVG and Moyes failing to replace Fergies squad. He’s taken over a side finishing 7th, 4th, 5th, 6th and has them 2nd.
“Throwing players under the bus”? Or stating the standards required to play for United? Just because your beloved Martial and Pogba played terrible, again, you blame the very manager who wasn’t happy with their performances, laughable. They earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a week and train in world class facilities, they don’t need spoon feeding from a soft manager, they SHOULD be told if they’re not good enough. They’re men not kids. Martial isn’t a kid, he’s an international footballer who’s lived and played in 2 countries.
Pogba never had a problem playing well for Allegri on a regular basis, but then Allegri stuck to the one formation so the team could build a rhythm and understanding, instead of switching it all of the time as unlike Mourinho he's not more scared of every other teams offensive threat than he is concerned about enforcing his own.
Comparing Allegri’s Juve to the current United squad is laughable!
Pogba played in a peak-European side that was bossed by Pirlo and many other genuine world class, peak players. It was a golden generation of a squad and and an easier league.
Of course Pogba slotted in to a team of absolute winners and played well.
Different task being asked to carry a team during a re-build. That requires real balls and real drive and sadly he doesn’t have it.
You make out like Mourinho is a tinker man, he uses 2 formations pal not 5 or 6! When you’ve got a monopoly of the best players like Juve did in that period, Bayern, United in the 90s, you CAN stick to 1 formation, but when you’re 1 of 5 huge clubs competing for top spot, you have to change things depending on the opponent, hence we beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, City recently..... And they lost playing their predictable formation and style. The very thing you’re criticising him for is regarded by the professionals as intelligence and a skill. Just shows your knowledge of what a world class manager is. I’m so glad you’re not in charge of my club, you’d have a 1 dimensional manager in charge and we’d finish exactly where the other club with a 1 dimensional manager are, 6th.
21 year old kid has practically a 1 in 2 scoring ratio for the season, in his first first full season in the PL, and he's not good enough lol.
No, I didn’t say he’s not good enough, I was disagreeing with you that Pep has turned him into a world beater. He’s been decent, no better than the form he showed before he arrived. Same could be said about Martial.
Yeah, Ronaldo was inconsistent at the same age, Sane is currently also inconsistent but Pep didn't shit on him for his poor performances in the CL semi, or chuck him to the bench, Fergie also supported Ronaldo over glory hungry people that wanted immediate success, he even binned RvN over his attitude regarding needing patience, good managers nurture these players and develop them, they don't browbeat them and undermine them in interviews and buy near 30 year olds to neuter their game time, no other top manager would even contemplate selling Martial.
Wow, comparing Martial to Ronaldo, one of the greatest players OF ALL TIME, to try to win an argument, now I’ve read it all on RedCafe I really have.....
Ronaldo was a purchase that the entire squad demanded after they played against him when he was 17 or 18..... he came to United and was regarded incredibly highly by everyone at the club, and rightly so, he’s gone on to be one of the greatest of all time. You’re comparing Martial, a guy who was pretty good in France and has been pretty good in England to Ronaldo? Wow.
And anyway, it was well documented Ronaldo was put on a harsh learning curve at United, Fergie practically beat the stepovers and unnecessary dives out of him, as did Roy Keane. He was in and out of the team, often as a substitute. Just like Martial is now!
Difference is, Ronaldo had an incredible attitude and desire to reach the top. Does Martial? Don’t you think if Martial could help Mourinho win things, he’d be playing every week? We’ve seen evidence of how he can help us win things, roughly once every 4 games. Inconsistencies that wouldn’t get him in a Fergie team, or a Mourinho team.
I’ve never spoken to someone more bitter and twisted about a football manager, I could reply all year to you just for entertainment value.
