Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

He was on talksport this morning spouting the same about spurs and pochettino

 

An ambulance chaser then.

Kane pulls up and oh it must be the manager over training.

 

I note sky have done a bkt of an odd article on their app.

They do try very hard to have a utd article every day no matter what but this one was what the **** is mourinho on.

And i thought it unfair

They ask him what do they expect from wayne rooney as no 9.

He says goals.

The hack nearly falls over in shock and mourinho says goals..


So... like.. if you play a guy as striker and you dont expect a goal out of him... well why pick him at all... pretty stupid sky hack imo.

 

I saw the BBC led with a picture of Suarez holding his teeth with Chellieni (sp) in the background holding his shoulder today

 

yeah why does football punish violent behaviours differently.

totally ridiculous given the length of bans handed down and frankly.... the amount of pure scum moves in rugby that get little enough relative punishment

 

He's in the last year of his contract so they won't go via the courts to try and terminate his deal, they'll just wait until Jan when he'll be allowed to leave on a free, if he waivers the last 6 months of his deal.

 

Him and his agent are bad news anyway. Best thing Guardiola has done this summer is stop using Yaya Toure, it means they aren't playing with 10 without the ball like they were with Toure in the side.

 

It's a bit **** not picking a player because of what his agents done imo. I suspect it's just an excuse really.

Or maybe that's why Sakho is out in the cold. Anyone gets tabs on his agent?

 

He was half arsed in his prime, now at 33 and overweight he's MLS fodder.

 

Are there any other foreign managers who've had 3 goes in the PL like Mourinho has?

His novelty wore off ages ago and any 'surprise element' in his tactics or managerial style has been well sussed out. None of that offers any reasons why the current players under his stewardship aren't 'getting it' or performing of course. Maybe they're not as impressed with him as he'd like them to be..

 

Rafa Benitez?

 

Penalty to Northampton

 

If you're allowed to spend as much as he's always allowed, you shouldn't need a surprise element!

 

We love you Jose, we do

 

Too early to write him off yet imo mate.

What the Chelsea players did to him last season - as reigning League Champions - was absolute scandalous. Whatever went on behind the scenes that level of tanking was truly shocking given the season that preceded it.

They started well, have now had an early season wobble, but they'll still be in the mix as the season wears on imo.

 

Definitely too early to write him off (especially whilst clubs keep giving him £200m+ to spend) but his legacy as definitely taken a battering.

 

If he doesn't get it right at United then his stock will massively fall.

He's got to get top 4 at least this season

 

According to McNutly "Utd are frail"

 

Watching match...United should have been 3 up at least even without the gift..

Still a **** load of aimless balls to no one. Rooney still playing in concrete boots.

And that Romero challenge at the end is exactly why I think keepers are over protected. Runs all the way out to the 18 yard line and while he gets the ball over the head of the jumping defender he clatters into the back of him full tilt...

Reverse that situation on the 6 yard line and it's a foul against the keeper every time...
