It seems Guardiola doesn't need the midfield dominance of Xavi and Iniesta or the magic of Messi. Or Aguero for that matter There goes all that bullshit about Guardiola not being one of the, if not the best manager in the world because he's a world class manager who manages world class players. Only dummies who know nothing about football don't rate him highly. No one is saying he is not good or even great. But best? Not even close. His bayern CL record is good indication of that and I think managing City wont change either. Not to mention, he has to replace half of squad to even operate. Mou is not what he was anymore, but when he was on top (since 2004-2010), he was amazing. Tacticaly almost perfect. I would like to see Pep in that 2004-2009 era in PL. Today when he splashes 200m and the league is, pardon my language, shit (from viewers perspective its still great, but in terms of quality not so much), it is not that difficult. United, Arsenal maybe, Liverpool, Chelsea were actualy real beasts back then unlike today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted September 10, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted September 10, 2016 Plays Pogba as DM and sets his team up for the counter attack when he has one of the slowest attacks in the league. Tactical genius. No creativity, no effective pressing, no press resistance, boring, stale. Never change Jose. manpe, Miki-Liki, lucio and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Starting lineup was stupid. But I thought made a great adjustment in the second half. Moved to a 4-3-3 and pushed both Fellaini and Pogba forward right off Ibra and just went direct. Almost paid off. Didn't pay off today, but that's a great adjustment that can easily get United tons of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Poor Mourinho. Why must he always be the one whose players ignore their manager's genius instructions, whose players cannot make simple passes under pressure and whose players cannot cope with the 'dimension of the game'? So unfortunate. Muzchap and MrExcalibur100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho's overall approach is still the same. He's almost becoming like Wenger really. Too stubborn and too unwilling to adapt and change their approach.

Darogba 112 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Speaking of Mourinho, I really think his best days are behind him. This utd job is his last big job in England and he will inevatibly fuck it up like he did at Chelsea when he doesn't get his way. He can't go back to Spain or Germany as Bayern will never hire him. I suppose he can crawl back to inter as they seem desperate but as a top manager he's done. DDA and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was clear as day it wont work. The thing is Pogba needs to move around, but Mou will limit him and I wont be surprised if Pogba wont play well at all. Thats why I was surprised when he actualy went to United, after all the talk he wants barca and play free attacking football. Ends up in double pivot next to Fellaini under Mou is just funny as hell haha. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he can crawl back to inter as they seem desperate but as a top manager he's done. I was 100% behind him leaving Chelsea - quite a few good people got banned for sharing my views. But let's face it - he has been a phenomenal manager and will always rank as one of the greatest. His achievements are second to none. However, the world keeps turning and Jose hasn't moved as quickly - his brand of football is fast becoming obsolete and the antithesis of what people want to see. People now want free flowing attaching football with lots of goals, not a 1-0 win. That's why so much money is changing hands. You could blame Mou - but that's life, older you get the more obsolete you become. Yes, I have slated him - but he has been there done it and worn the T-Shirt and I absolutely loved him first time round - he will always be The Special One - for those great years.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Reckon they'll start picking on him should Chelsea and City win this round and United does not at Watford. Soulless manager and an even uglier team, no ideas, no attacking gameplan, no pressing. He really is Tony Pulis with money, baffles me how someone managing one of world's biggest clubs still sets his team that way. He has regressed in a few years like others in a lifetime, long may this continue, he deserves every bit of it. Such an insult for Guardiola, definitely world's best manager, to still be compared with this fraud. There is at least 10 managers at this point head and shoulders better than Mourinho.

Essien19 1,415 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Has as many CL trophies as Guardiola.

But the thing is Jose is just not the same guy who was with Porto, Chelsea (1st time) and Inter. Looks completely different. His time at Real Madrid ruined him and I feel there's no way back to his best for him. Jose will fix Man Utd this season anyway and they will finish in top 3. Jose might still win some trophies bus his teams will never be a dominant force again. The Skipper, petre.ispirescu and Darogba 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
