Mourinho had Porto to took them to CL Glory Had an aging Inter Milan Side and won the treble 17 hours ago, Dannyb01y said: That performance against City was basically a reality check for some fans. Guardiola outclassed Mourinho on the day, not bad for a manager who had ripped out his teams spine. If that was a LVG team in the first half it would have been ripped to shreds. Its interesting to see he difference in manager style after the performance - Guardiola defending his player to the hilt ala Fergie and Mourinho criticising his players which didn't help him in his last job... Meanwhile though LVG is counting his millions in compensation and Schweiny has been written off for £6.7m and is only listed in the squad due to premier league rules. Not sure he wouldn't have played better than some of the players on show at the weekend. Not a reality check to me, United fairly should of had a pen in the Bravo/Rooney challenge as he was reckless and could of been more dangerous I still back Mourinho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only 6 games into the season, long road ahead - plus they need to gel and get out of LVG style - the 2 losses so far decisions gone against Moyes, LVG would never get players like Pogba, Ibra, Bailly and whoever else in the future You call all of them the best in the world but they are all Goalscorer striker/wingers in a Easy league except few have proven themselves in England. Pogba is a Midfielder, he is there to break up play, hold the ball, use his strength and power, get assist and goals. Since he was linked to United, I stand by its club power that makes the high values as they want to keep their stars. Also United not Barcelona, hide the true amount of the Neymar transfer which I think is being investigated or Real Madrid that tried to cover up Bale price so it doesn't upset Ronaldo. We haven't got tax invaders in the team or get 2 transfer bans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All of those named are the best in the world, I can also name you a bucket full of midfielders, defenders, even keepers ahead of Pogba as I have done before. It's interesting that for France, & Utd, world class managers with top players around him don't know how to get the best out of Pogba, yet in an easy league like Serie A he was used perfectly, makes you think doesn't it? In CM or as a number 10 he has A LOT to learn, that is glaringly obvious - He needs to adapt his game for the club, not the other way around. #conspiracy Sir Rahul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He trying to assist, trying to score.. Atm Pogba needs to settle in 1 position IMO He assisted Martial in France vs Italy friendly with 40+ yards pass and assisted Kurzawa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TalentSearcher 2,049 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw; Pogba, Fellaini; Rashford, Rooney, Martial; Ibrahimovic. Finally the starting line up I wanted, now let see what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dannyb01y 1,693 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Watford haven't beaten you since 1986 so I'm sure with your preferred line up you should avoid a third defeat in a row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt72 25,087 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 So under LVG the philosophy was to control possession, this resulted in slow and laboured build up play, no cutting edge at all and it was all very pedestrian and predictable. Under Jose Moronho it is very much the same, the difference is the team is (allegedly) stronger with his acquisitions. What I saw today, was awful and Pogba is a petulant child who looks way out of his depth. World class my arse. Now just waiting to see who talentsearcher pins the blame on rather than manning up and admitting the manager and team are to blame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Noisy 15,078 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Certainly been a reality check for some Manchester United fans in the last week. 3 defeats in a row now. I thought Watford deserved that win today and could easily had more, that Ighalo open goal miss at 0-0. Can't be blaming refereeing decisions for todays defeat that is for sure.

TalentSearcher 2,049 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Man United need to find that 3 in the middle and the wingers Was debateable on the tackle on Martial of Watford 1st The team still needs to find the balance and play after 3 years of bad management, bad buys etc and that's down to Ed Woodward. The 3 in the middle not sure on their jobs, United still missing that right side winger. I don't think Thursday nights help United which they need to sort out by getting top 4 Fellaini needs to be sold, he a liability and I keep saying that, Pogba keeps being moved around that he needs to settle in 1 role, Rooney been messed about for 3 years that he lost his ways, he to sit in 1 role, Martial needs to get his personal life sorted I still think Mourinho should of came in when Fergie retired Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rahul 7,356 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Shambles Could say on the first goal the build-up was a foul on Martial, but then again Watford deserved their opener so can't complain much. No point focusing on the decisions going the wrong way when we anyway are playing badly. De Gea partly at fault for the goal imo. The second goal came out of nowhere, we conceded to a left-back who hasn't scored in ages and was at Bologna last year. Good finish tho. Third goal, what can I say, it's Fellaini. 3 hours ago, TalentSearcher said: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw; Pogba, Fellaini; Rashford, Rooney, Martial; Ibrahimovic. Finally the starting line up I wanted, now let see what happens Not the lineup I wanted, I prefer Blind over Smalling any day, a much intelligent footballer and definitely would not have mixed up with de Gea for that Ighalo sitter. Why are we playing 4-2-3-1 repeatedly I have no idea Why is Rooney still playing no idea Such confusion that Rashford, our best player on form, was shunted from the left to the right and again to the left. Still scored. Martial was ineffective again and needs some time out to regain his form. No alternatives though. Rooney, slow, holding up the play, ineffective, what else can I say? The 4-3-3 is not working because of him. He is not an RCM. My team would be this: De Gea; Valencia, Blind, Bailly, Shaw; Carrick, Ander, Pogba; Rashford, Ibra, Mkhitaryan Or if not Carrick, push Blind to CDM You need a calm head and some intelligence on the pitch. This team is far too attack-minded- it's imbalanced. Of course, unlike Arsenal fans I don't call for a bunch of sackings and will stick by Mou and the team but this was a shocking show. 2nd half v City was better. Have to wake up for Northampton and Zorya.... -- EDIT: Realised I didn't talk about Pogba. Hit the crossbar, one good tackle, some petulance. Needs time but he isn't getting it. Pressure building up. Mou first has to get rid of Rooney, then play Pogba consistently at one position. Edited September 18, 2016 by Sir Rahul Paul Pogba. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
