    He was just as much of a **** last season before he was sacked.

    I can answer that.
    Rashford, Mata and Zlatan are the only natural goal scorers in your team.
    Zlatan is old and cannot be expected to perform like a 25 year old in every game, so when he has a bad game, you suffer.
    Rashford is pushed out on the left, where he is pretty much wasted. He need to be in the middle!
    How often is Mata playing? Jose didnt seem to like him at Chelsea.

    You're quite correct. It seems that Zlatan has to play as he's the only one scoring any goals but it does mean we play in a certain way which is clearly easy to defend against. He's a great target man but we shouldn't only be playing to that.

    He needs to vary it and Rashford is the natural centre forward, now and for the future.

    Personally I would play Mata instead of Carrick. Right now though Pogba is the passenger so it's him who should be dropped, not Carrick.

    My front three would be Martial, Rashford and Mkhytarian. He's another who maddeningly hot and cold though.

    Of course they are. How else could Jose be the "special one" ??

    Ok, it looks like he was pissed off that the Hull midfielder wasn't sent off. He should have been but we shouldn't need Hull to go down to ten men to beat them at OT. Plus Rojo's got away with a couple this season.

    Ferguson did the same. This is not new behaviour at Old Trafford.

    If theres one thing i hate what he does is when he walks off before the whistle in half time or full time.

    I think when Villa beat Chelsea a few years back and there was a lot of drama behind the match he tried shaking Lamberts hand and he pushed him away for the disrespect of essentially saying the match is over.

    I think its disrespect at the highest order and i don't understand why managers give him the time to shake his hand, I would tell him he would have to wait until the final whistle. What happens if he went to the changing rooms before the final whistle and the players followed suit?

    He's always done this sort of stuff after a poor result.

    It deflects away from the performance and creates headlines about him instead.

    Fair play to Hull for grinding out a 0-0 at OT though.

    Similar to Pearson.

    He was a world expert at taking pressure off his players. Unfortunately he put it all on himself and couldn't handle it.

    His Ostrich outburst was actually unbelievable.

    He was way more of a **** early last season.

    He's been half bearable this season but he does love let you know that he's a proper diva from time to time.

    Don't buy the excuse that Maureen's meltdowns are deliberate and controlled attempts to deflect criticism from his players. Because Maureen will come out and criticise his players in public when he feels like it.

    Maureen's rants are just that, and based on nothing but self interest.

    You do not have an objective view on Mourinho though.
    Owing to the fact that he makes your manager look like an inept **** every time they play.
    Not that Wenger needs much help proving that these days.

    It's got **** all to do with Wenger. It's there for all to see that Maureen is a whining little bitch. He's blamed the doctor, physios, and even ball boys for his teams performances in the past <laugh> When it's not going his way, he retreats into a paranoid 'they're out to get me' mentality, as demonstrated again by this latest little pissy fit.
