We have lost 4 games this season in the PL, 2nd least so I am not sure how we are losing in alot of matches?
We concede goals because we sit back, is that the flawless logic of yours? And then we start to counter attack when teams have gotten the first goal in matches?
Where was this logic when Mourinho finished second? Were you singing the same tune?
I'm not getting into long arguments - really don't care. But we're a countering attacking team. We score most of our goals countering our opponents. If you feel different, you have every right to.
Is this because you realised what you said was complete nonsense?
A City fan with a sense of wit?People have to understand finishing 2nd wasn't the reason jose was criticized, it was his demeanor after sevilla knock out. The way he threw everyone under the bus but was not looking at his own flaw was the reason fans were pissed and then the summer of 2018 where he kept on whinging and moaning. It was like he was personally sabotaging us. People need to stop bringing Jose.
No they are factual, financial and phychological improvements. Not trophies, moral or physical. You said there's no difference between finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th - and there categorically is. Your hatred for Ole being manager is clouding very basic football judgement here. Would you prefer to finish 4th, or 2nd? Ask Brendan Rodgers, Klopp, etc would prefer to finish 2nd or 4th. They'll all answer the same thing. Why? More money, better seeds in European competition over time, a psychological advantage on your opponents, etc, etc, etc. I'm sorry progress hurts you as a fan.
Are you seriously complaining we've dropped points against some teams this season? I hate to break it to you pal, but every team has dropped points. Every team has had bad results - City included. Ask some Liverpool fans, Leicester fans, Chelsea fans, Spurs fans, Arsenal fans, Wolves fans if they've had some sh!te results against poor opposition.... What's your point? Every team has played well in some games, and sh!te in others, do you know how we keep track of that? With a league table. We're 2nd. This is improvement on last season, and that of the season before. Have you heard of a thing called trajectory?
You sound like a spoilt fan to expect a relatively newly assembled squad that is learning how to walk before they run at the top, which clearly has glaring issues like the need for a CB, DM, RW, another ST to challenge this fantastic City team for the league
Ask yourself this, what position did you expect to finish at the start of the season? 1st? Did you feck, if you say you did, you're lying. Did you expect us to finish 2nd? Did you feck. So how on earth can you expect us to challenge City now? I expected us to finish 3rd, but I hoped to be closer to City and Liverpool. We're well on track for that. Just because Liverpool have sh!t the bed this season, isn't my problem, we've been better than them, Chelsea, Wolves, Everton, Spurs, etc, etc as it stands & I expect us to finish 2nd or 3rd.
Competing with City at the level they're at requires probably 4-5 years of consistency in some key ares: the same manager, the development of our young players, buying the correct players and completing a serious squad building exercise. Guess what .... we're 2 years in and we've progressed from 6th best to 2nd best. Cheer up, celebrate when we win, don't hope we lose so you can come post more toxic dross on here, and enjoy the ride. We're heading up, the trajectory is positive, we've more points this season than last season, we've a better squad, we're financially able to go buy more players of the correct mould in the summer, and I look forward to it. When we win, I post on here that we're on the correct path. When we draw, or lose, I say, bad result but we're on the correct path. The issue with lots of football fans these days is that they are too short-sighted. You should be celebrating that we've got a club legend who's played and scored so many times for us, managing us and with our best interests at heart - and who is most importantly taking us on an upward trajectory season on season. I'd agree with you if we were 6th, less points, losing every week.
What a load of rubbish.
I assumed you were being sarcastic in your previous post. Now beginning to wonder...
There is a difference between being an counter attacking team and a team that does counter attacks. Doing counter attacks when opponents have many men forward is a great way to score goals in. We saw it a lot under Fergie too.
Yeah that's the exact opposite of what we do in big games and whenever we actually try to take charge of games and have the majority of possession we struggle.
And created zero chances. They gave us space beucase they new that we would be sitting back again. Second half proved that.
No, in all honesty no.
The logic was similar in the sense that Jose deserved another season when he took us to 2nd, I supported it, posted publicly on here that he deserves another season, to see where he can take us. I criticised the clubs decision not to back him in the transfer market when he wanted Harry Maguire, who was available for considerably less than £80m.
11 shots would beg to differ.
Did anyone call for his head when he finished second?
It wasn't until he turned into Mr. Hyde during the following season most fans turned on him, and rightly so.Where did he say that?
Absolutely disgusting comment comparing a just as harsh world war 2 to what his multimillionaire players are going through now. All well and good trying to protect his players but sometimes I wish Ole would just keep his fecking mouth closed instead of spouting ignorant bullshit.
Because a) he was a very good player who was available at a decent price, b) Pogba was more than likely looking for a move within the next 12 months, and c) we were already very reliant on Bruno to provide the creativity - rather than bringing on Lingard and the likes, we would instead have Donny.
What did he say?
You absolute melt
he was hardly comparing them was he? he just said it's the hardest life has been since WW2. So why aren’t we using him then? Even now when Pogba is out
He's been out with injury for a bit of time as well, was considered healthy in time for the Chelsea match, but we opted for the more trusted Fred and Scott, and perhaps he wasn't fully fit.
Oles wordsYou absolute melt
Some of you lot need your heads checking, get our and get some fresh air.
Absolutely nothing wrong with what he's said at all.
Did he really say that? How on Earth can you compare WWII and current pandemic? No these times can not be compared to WWII, they are not even remotely close.
I agree that it's no big deal but saying that this past year has been almost as hard as World War fecking Two is obvious nonsense. It's a stupid comparison. It happens, football managers say stupid things sometimes, and the world moves on.
This is what happens when people take shit talking way too literally.
Yeah it's nonsense. There is no need to come up with stuff like that.
If you think our multimillionaire footballers are "almost" going through the same restrictions as imposed in the second world war then I really am lost for words.
Don't sell yourself short, mate. I lold.
