Patently obvious that you and yourvnew manager dont suit each other. I merely point out you wont score from a hollywood pass with 30 seconds of half to go nor should 7 out of 11 players be so far advanced when the should be seeing out the half. 3-1 up in next game and won final 4-0 peoves a point was enough but we have no clue from manager nor players. Im quite confident you great manager would not have thrown anything like that at chelsea nor would he have indulged gerrard second half either shooting with his tired legs from all over park rather than play properly.
Obviously we should have gone into the game expecting a win. But it was becoming obvious that Chelsea were going to sit back and we should have been mindful of any counters. As MITO said, playing that aggressively near the end of the half was stupid. There was no need.
That's with the benefit of retrospection. But still expecting a win but not needing one. Mourinho came for a draw and we gifted him a win. That was the strongest team we've had for ages and deserved to win the title.
It's funny. I was reading an article the other day, can't remember the source, but it was talking about the best Premier League signings of the season and half the names listed were United. Mkshitaryan, Ibrahimovic, and Pogba . I think there was another United player listed too. This was a top 10, the bias was incredible.
Like McCunty's "Pogba will be a bargain" article Absolute delusion The other "best signing" was probably Bailly the stupid red card and penalty machine since he was Man Utd's only other signing
Obviously kante is top signing. After that..... Wanyama spurs Mane lfc Zlatan utd Special mention to jesus at city Llorente at swansea The rest ave not had huge impacts.. have i missed anyone bar of course forrgotten to add 4 mancs
What impact has Zlatan had? Wijnaldum has been a better signing than him IMO, actually contributing to taking his team forward.
I think a lot of people expected Zlatan to flop in a more physical league but he delivered, and pretty much carried United this season.
Carried them nowhere though Man Utd were expected to compete for the title and came 6th We were expected to come 6th but only the worst injury record kept us from competing from the title and CL is #nailedon
BTW let's also not fall for Mourinho's #desperate attempts to peddle the story that he's had to sacrifice the last few league games to focus on the EL because the horrible FA won't rearrange the schedule to suit the most expensive squad in history They have been stuck in 6th almost the entire season precisely because Zlatan has #bottled the important games and padded his stats in the unimportant ones #doingalukaku Wijnaldum doesn't get many goals but they are big ones
There's a reason I named llorente on my top 5. Without him the swans would have been 20th. Same thing for zlatan. They'd probably have won nothing and been 10th without his presence. Kante impact is obvious We could ask what did Mane deliver for lfc but his impact is also clear. The team is utterly transformed with him in. And wanyama transfer to spurs has improved them. Special mention to jesus was saying his impact overall was limited but he was impressive
The only option isn't play Ibrah or play with 10 men He's taking the wages of 2-3 top players that would have Man Utd challenging for the title Plus having a coward manager like Mourinho means he's undropable so most of the time he's a waste of a place He also forces Man Utd to play slower
Cannae ignore 28 goals including goals that got them through eurpoe and won the league cup no matter how you try. You sound like you think utd would be top 4 if only..... rather than the reality is mourinho likes it nice and slow and no running and led a good chelsea team to 10th doing it
