A long way off that bad There are some serious bad apples though who are quite happy with their massive contracts but have no personal pride in the job or could give two ****s about the club and results.
Not really sure on that. We have had 3 managers that have bought an sold badly. Some of the signings are ok. We have one good cb in bailly but has had his confidence destroyed. We shouldn’t have sold that twat who’s back at palace, the Dutch idiot and that argie twat. Sanchez was a busted flush when we signed him. We have some very good players and should be winning more than we are. On paper I’d say we have a better squad than your lot but we aren’t playing anything that could pass as semi decent football and the manager has to take the blame for that.
If you took over as manager there tomorrow, would you pick them? In all honesty there are some I would say to "you have looked **** lately, you are in the reserves until you show me you can play and are committed to the team". If they aren't happy to do that then they don't belong. They know what think they can and can't do so should be ashamed.
Good CB but can't go more than 3 games without seriously damaging himself, not a confidence thing with the lad just too brave/rash.
Of course I would, they’re class players and I’d let them know that. I’ve already said that I’d love Pogba at Spurs but we could never afford him. He’d be unreal under Poch in our system.
You really wouldn't, he can produce some class moments but any team would struggle with a player that produces for 3 or 4 mins (looks good in highlights) out of every 90.
That’s because he’s playing in a god awful system. Jose’s style has always been about sucking the life out of a match. Put Pogba in a system that allows him to express himself and you’ll see what he can do. There’s a reason you paid £90m to bring him back from Juve and there’s a reason why he was key to France winning the World Cup. Bloke is class, he’s just being stifled.
Bollocks, a player can either make a pass or he can't, he can dribble past others and keep the ball or he can't, he can shoot on target or miss by miles. Systems makes **** all difference to a players ability, just the role he plays. Have you ever seen Pogba control a game in any way? He gets rave revues for being a "world cup winner" where he worked under a coach that put more defensive responsibility on him than Jose ever has yet, he still only played about 15 good/noticeable minutes in the whole competition
@Matth_2014 no way should Mourhino leave! You are the clown club of the Prem, and that is almost wholly down to him. I say "almost" because he cannot be blamed for Fellani. It's a hoot for us neutrals, mate! Trust me, yeah? Arsenal used to be the clowns of the Prem, when Wenger was clinging on like a hardened tug-nut, but now that he finally got the sack, they are looking like a half decent top 6 side. But United... as I have said before, you'll do well to finish above Wolves this season, and that's mostly down to Mourhino. You've got to laugh, eh, Matth!
You’re being way too blinkered if you think Pogba was poor at the World Cup. There were better players, no doubt but he was far from the “15 minutes good” you speak of. As for “systems make **** all difference”, that’s just laughable. Pogba probably ain’t been helped by the fact he’s playing alongside a shower of ****. Had Pirlo and Vidal at Juve and Kante and Matuidi for France. At Utd he’s got Herrera, Fellaini and Fred... the levels in that is just mad.
Funny how everyone laughed when we resigned Pogba, claiming what a dreadful mistake Fergie made letting him leave. Well, here we are with the reason. It's because Pogba is an utter ****ing ****e of a man. Pogba will cost Mourinho his job, continue to behave like a **** till he gets the same money as Sanchez, then leave anyway. As big a mistake as Mourinho is proving to be, I'd rather he stay than Pogba any day.
I'd like to agree with that last bit, but we have a situation now where he's fallen out with near enough everybody in the squad. Bailly, Jones, Shaw x 100, Smalling, Herrera, Lingard, Lukaku, Valencia, Darmian, Martial x100, Sanchez and Pogba x 100. He's thrown all of them under the bus publicly countless times and it's just got to the point where he's made his situation as bad as it is all on his own. We want an attacking team and we have a squad set up to play attacking, fast football, so right now I'd prefer he ****ed off as quickly as possible.
Hes not a good fit, agreed, and I'd also like him to go. But, if I had to pick between the two it's Pogba I'd bin right now. I've said it before enough times, I'll only be happy when both are gone!
The problems won't stop until Jose is gone. Pogba should go at the end of the season, if the new manager wants him out. I'd have no preference who left first out of Pogba, Sanchez and Lukaku actually, hopefully they all get shoved next summer.
I think Lukaku could be a very decent centre forward. Completely agree the other two plus Mourinho should all **** off.
He's definitely not under rated Matth. Right now he's completely hit and miss, no way worth what we paid. (Yet still way better then Morata ) He can become that though, if he works on it.
He was never a good fit though. I can't be the only one who thought he was totally the wrong manager before he got the job.
The criticism he tends to get is largely based on the fact that his record against the other members of the Big 6 is rather abysmal and similarly at International level against the best nations ... Glen Murray's is probably better against the Big 6 ... with no disrespect to GM (but you can't see title contenders paying a small fortune for him) ... He looks awesome against the lesser teams mind ...
