To be honest it's come up as an alert because I didn't see it (suffering from Wengeritis it seems)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... Like I said, I didn't see it as I switched 5 minutes before the game ended and just caught it on an alert with my mobile phone. Nothing was said in that brief report about taunting. Even if there was taunting, reacting is also stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's in tune with the last longish one we had in evolution. I notice that the process only becomes more evident once they cobble together a few points.... I might start a 'Trust in Morata' tag that I stick on the end of my posts when he scores but obviously conveniently leave it off when he doesn't... I did look on Twitter to see if 'Trust The Process' was trending but it isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Watching United reminds me a lot of me on FM whenever try and make up some clever defensive system for my team, consistently cock it up, and then revert back to a normal tactic at half time.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted October 20, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 20, 2018 Watching the match in the club 1-0 h/t, did some shopping with the wife and got home and seen the 2-2 scoreline, oh well, 3 points would have been better but a point at the bridge, I won't moan.

carefreeluke Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 On 06/10/2018 at 20:48, carefreeluke said: I remember in Mourinho's infamous final season with us, the players would almost only start playing when they were behind by one or two goals. It happened so often that it got to the point where I was basically saying that we need the other team to score as early as possible to provide our players with a longer window of time to get their asses in gear and to finally start playing with some purpose, passion and intensity. It was almost as if the players rose to the challenge of wanting to turn the game around and another thing is that being behind meant it allowed them to take more risks in attack and push more men forward which you could say suggests something different entirely as well. This all suggests though that the mentality of the players isn't in a good place from the beginning of the match and that of course isn't going to bode well for any team. We also looked and played a lot better in the Champions League that season as well. The Champions League gave the players some fresh impetus, a new environment and represented a new challenge for the players which helped their performances. For me there's definitely a mentality issue at Man United at the moment, a lot of this will stem from those in charge but the players have to take a lot of the stick as well. And it happened again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Good to see Sarri sticking to his hubs and not tolerating any dissidence. Players should be dropped for disobedience. Also good for Sarri for reigning in his staff afterwards, even if it is hypocritical for Moutibho to be upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 21, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 21, 2018 United were always a counter attacking team at their very best. In the past Jose has played retarded formations and Fellaini/Matic/McTominay/Herrera midfield bus tactics, but that's not what we saw yesterday. The team he picked matches up well against Chelsea, nullified Hazard and carried a threat on the counter attack when they improved second half. There's still a place for good defending in football and some of us still appreciate a good tactical set up to nullify players like Hazard. I really like Sarri so far, clearly a good coach and a very humble man with a pretty unique back story for a football manager, but I still think the Premier League needs a few Mourinhos in there as well. If United got themselves yet another high pressing manager who never gets in trouble off the pitch they might be more successful but as a neutral it would just remove the last bit of variety left in the top six sides.

We won those titles with players that were behind Mourinho and Mourinho were behind them. Rhetoric aside we played some great football those years. I don't know what United currently are. This is what you get when you spend a whole summer undermining your players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I thought it was great seeing Jose Mourinho ready for the beef in his fresh new suit with a fresh trim. He's definitely a character we would miss if he was to leave English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
