Closed Man United v Chelsea

[Styles 9,790]

Silly me. I thought technical things like ball circulation, attacking patterns, ball recovery (things that are severely lacking in this team) were under the responsibilities of the coach. Yes it's Emenalo's fault that the players can't string together passes. No responsibility whatsoever should be placed on the Manager who's been coaching these players for 3 years now.

Haven't you heard? If you don't spend 150m the summer after winning the league title playing shit football and being 17th is to be expected.

[Sovieticus 743]

Pedro is worst player on the pitch. Ramires in the 2nd half.

Yeah, considering the fact that Oscar isn't playing.

Don't think anybody has said any of that, simply that we're now in a position where we need to look forward. Of course learn from the mistakes of the past but don't ignore the future because of them.

Your joking about putting Ramires in right? When we have Kenedy and Traore...

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Mourinho was right he took these players to a level they are not

Mourinho should thank god he had Hazard carrying his team's attack for almost an entire half of last season. This game is a further expose of Mourinho and his tactical deficiencies

Think i said that if you don't improve the squad then you will struggle.

But if you can find that quote you can have my ticket for the next home game. Deal?

No he's not.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

It's like we are playing with 10.

[Stingray 9,441]

Eden is getting seriously pissed. He's right as well. Cunts

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Get the ball to Hazard. Hope for a Card and Free Kick.

Rinse and Repeat.

Actually happy to see Hazard get pissed off at the Ref for once.

[Ossie the King 634]

Fair fucking dos to the Chelsea supporters there though. From the first Mourinho chants at the start of the match they've been in fantastic voice,

They deserve far better.

He was a part but that's not going to change anything going forward when the other problems are still at the club. We're doomed to repeat the same mistakes unless we have a massive shake up. Isn't that what people around you in the shed say?

My problem with how we're playing today is that it is very Jose esque. We had ball playing defenders (think Filipe Luis and David Luiz) but he didn't fancy them. He'd rather implement a strategy where we'd boot it forward, using Ivanovic as an auxiliary striker to knock the ball down. We used to do it all the time under him.

Similarly, his decision to choose Oscar as his number 10 was absolutely disastrous. We have no control in the middle of the park because he's just a very average player that can't control a game at all. That is a major reason why we play the way we do today. It's all well an good saying that we don't have ball playing defenders at the moment but when Jose had them in the squad he never utilised them properly at all. That's why Jose is a major reason why we're looking the way we are right now, and in fact, in most big games.

[Azul 1,615]

We're such a joke... unbelievable. The team is completely done smh so sad.

[JaKstone 307]

We got this, Smalling will get another yellow and they will score an own goal. You heard it here first.

[Parky 739]

OMG Ivanovic is hilariously shit! Bahahah

[MefiX19 1,092]

If I would play there i would fucking chop those cunts legs, for all those fouls.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

It's like we are not playing.

Fixed it for you

Mourinho's management of this team has been an utter failure. All he has to hang on to is his PL medal.
