My GF, who knows nothing about these matters and cares less … agrees wholeheartedly
It wasn't a joke!!!???
See? British diplomacy at its finest.
I agree with you. It would be like Madrid overlooking Zidane for a manager of Valencia or something that they've already beaten.
In the final against Denmark.
...Whilst being poorly utilised by Maureen. It’s like playing Jones as a right winger
Jose had nothing to do with pogba losing the ball and then watching the attacker run away with it and doing nothing.
That was indeed a master class. Bring on two fresh sprinters to run at a tired defence. Absolutely brilliant. Ole has to be in with a shout of the main gig at this point. Keeping this up until the end of the season and I see no reason to go for poch.
Almost Everyone was playing shit under the translator
There’s playing shit, and then there’s what pogba did. He was second only to Di Maria in how disrespectful his performance was. Losing the ball happens, standing and watching the guy run away with it is poor. Don’t care how much of an arsehole Jose was, the club and the fans still deserved his best effort. Plenty of others players hated him, they still tried to work in the shit.
How come you missed the game, @Random Task?
Both were under managers who lost the dressing room and their job simply because they were basically cack. Now Pogba plays 1 position in which he excels in. Allegri and Conte had tried to play him in a deeper role and they both failed miserably. However, they never questioned Pogba's commitment and loyalty. In fact his game improved again once he was allowed to play in his natural role which is exactly what is happening under Ole. Its not Pogba's fault that the translator mismanaged him just as he mismanaged the entire team. I know Mou was one once the special one and all that but these days he only seem to excel in losing dressing rooms. United is his third consecutive dressing room he lost.
the funny thing is that its the third consecutive dressing room that he lost. Mou should thank himself he's not a horse else he'll be on a one way trip to the glue factory. Yet some people still insist in giving this has been credibility and turn against a proven WC player.
Because a certain game now dictates my every action in life.
My gift to you from Germany
Jose Mourinho has all the traits of Captain William Bligh, can’t see beyond his own ego which has consumed him.
Thanks, dear.My gift to you from Germany
I watched this morning thinking I would revel as they ate their words. I regret it. Nicholas and Thompson are brain dead. In what game has Mourinho not told his wingers to track back against a big club?
I agree. There I agreed to it.
Post of the week. Hands down.We gave the doubters 30 mins to talk shite, now we’re switched on
Rubbish. He sat and watched someone run away with the ball after he lost it trying to do some crap trick. That’s got nothing what so ever to do with position or the manager. All the but, but, buts in the world can’t change that. Whatever impact Jose’s shit tactics had on his game, there’s no excuse for that shit. Don’t know why you are bothering. We all watched him do it, and only a sycophant would try to blame someone else for what he did.
Some players can track back while others can't. Cristiano Ronaldo is a classic example. He was an amazing player, possibly the most talented SAF had ever had. However he didn't track back. So instead of trying to turn him into the next Philip Neville only to fail miserably and then replace him with Philip Neville, SAF built the team around Ronaldo's strengths. His formation had two strikers who can track back and he added Ji Sung Park who added workrate on the Left flank. That's what top managers do. They get the best out of the players at our disposal rather then expect them to reinvent their entire game.
Nothing to do with tracking back. He stood and watched a player 2 feet away from him run away. Stop making excuses.
Ronaldo didn't track back. Also the ones making excuses are those who hounded Pogba, a World class and World cup winner who excelled under all managers he had been under apart from the manager who lost 3 dressing rooms at a row.
Nothing to do with tracking back. Am I not saying it right? He tried to do a dumb trick. He ended up pretty much kicking the ball to the oppo player(2 footish away. And then stood and watched him run away. I dont care about tracking back, I dont care if he ran all the way around the pitch and back. He messed up a trick, passed the ball to the oppo(two feet away) and then did nothing to get it back.
Pogba won 6 tackles, most by any player on the pitch (including Arsenal team), made so many driving runs from midfield, carrying the ball 30-40 yards, created 3rd goal and played very good game but who cares about all that, he made a dumb trick and didn't track after losing ball.
Exactly.
So, we are all good then?
Pogba is a unique player. He can split defences in half with a Beckhamesque pass or he can keep the ball too much to lose it. That's why every manager he encountered came out with the same conclusion ie give the guy a free role and build around him a midfield and a defence that support him. The deeper you play him the more danger you go into.
