Man Utd Thread:

[thewobbler]

So everyone is saying that Professional athletes aren't responsible 1 bit for tonight? Is it maybe a case of Jose is asking too much of them? Suddenly a two-time champions league winner knows nothing about football. Get a grip men. His gameplan can't be carried out by the donkeys he has surrounding him.

Sanchez
Lukaku
Matic
Lindelof
Pogba
Bailly
Ibrahimovic
Myhkitarian


How many £100m does a man have to spend to get the team he "needs" to play his game plan?

But this is the point I'm making. So he's spending 100's of millions on players to win competitions he has won before??? So he knows how to do it...but the players are blameless?

He's a dogmatic manager who throughout his career has created winning teams out of players with good technique, efficient tactics, and unquestionable drive.

At United he has bought a show pony in Pogba and a play toy in Sanchez. He needed neither and still doesn't. His tactics have no place for them. And between them they're pulling almost £1m a week out of the club.

I will almost never take the side of professional footballers as they're by and large despicable human beings, but if they're confused and annoyed by this "strategy", I can't blamenthem.

you'd think that UTD were beaten by some diddy team from the Faroe Islands ffs.
Sevilla are currently 5th in one of the best leagues in the world if not the best.
they're also now unbeaten in 4 games against English opposition this season.
give some credit to Sevilla ffs. even just now scholes is still calling sevilla a poor team.

They've being awful in Spain this season. Soft centre and conceded over 40 goals. Maribor had nearly the same amount of shots on  target against them over two games.

Mourinho: "I've sat in this chair twice before, with Porto - Man Utd out, with Real Madrid - Man Utd out, so this is nothing new for this football club."

so Sevilla still not getting any credit here then?

[StGallsGAA]

That was utter shite. 

Can anyone tell me what Sanchez has added to the team?

Sevilla themselves have being poor over two legs but thought nZonzi class. One positive for Utd is that Lukaku is improving.

[Milltown Row2]

Utd and Jose don't know their best team, end of, someone earlier was saying Mata was rubbish, one of the best play makers in the EPL and he only brings him on when things go wrong..

Besides all of that Sevilla deserved to win, leaving a top striker (6 goals in this competition) on the bench to spring on tired legs worked out well

Sevilla deserve huge credit. They came to play and not sit back.  United played as if they were protecting a lead from the away tie.

He was superb against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup Final two years ago. Looked decent during his spells at Blackburn and Stoke too. Its a wonder none of the bigger English teams have ever made a move for him.

Seanie and I have been trying to tell you lot for ages the manager is shite, a shadow of his former self, I could not believe his selections, and at the presser afterwards he was so full of shit it was not even funny.

This man needs to go before he ruins Rashford, Martial and Lingard, he is mediocre with a sprinkling of inspired now and again, that is not enough, not at Man Utd.

[StGallsGAA]

The Liverpool posters who went missing along with Salah and Mane since Sat have suddenly reappeared!

[oliverkelly]

I got slated on this page before xmas for saying we sold sell Pogba cause hes fecking usless well the more time goes on the more i am being proved right. I said to my mates when Sanchez was signed Mourinho would ruin him with shite tactics and he hasnt performed at all. Time to give Bourinho to boot. The money he has spent and thats the best he can come up with over two legs against a at best adverage side.

[magpie seanie]

Penny for magpie Seanie's thoughts...

You've had them for free since the rumours first started circulating about Mourinho possibly being United manager. I was right back then. I don't really have anything more to add to bar that his press conference last night was a new low even for a ballbag like him. downright insulting. I've already pointed out time and time again on this thread why he should not be manager of Manchester United so I'll leave it. All I hope for is a swift end to this embarrassment.

Looking forward to MM's -"usual overreaction here.....making progress" post.  A poster I really respect but sheesh - time to call it like it is man.
