Kezza 1,965 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I liked how we actually utilised our wing options instead of trying to walk the ball through the middle of the D. Bravo team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo team. So many times under Mourinho, there was this sense that we were so narrow and would be passing slowly through the middle where there's no space, it was so frustrating. Conte seems to be different, we spread wide and made the pitch big, Burnley couldn't mark the whole space and this made hazard have much more one on one's with the fullback compared to being double marked before. We're pressing more as a team instead of being disjointed and attacking as a team with the fullbacks high up and we're even shooting more from outside the box When we completely blend to the system, we'll be much more fluid and hopefully more clinical in finishing.

I watched the Man U vs Hull game today, and they legit looked like this, they just put balls into the box and thats it. He really doesn't teach any attacking pattern.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Mourinho's attacking pattern is lousy. Maybe in the distant past when he had players like Didier-Lamps-Essien it was working better. Mourinho is good for parking the bus. His best parking the bus performence was against Atletico in the Calderon, when in fact there was no other option for us. It worked but the replay went Atletico's.way. Yesterday UTD looked dull most of the time. In the last ten minutes all of the play was inside Hull's 18 yard box and something was bound to cave in.

Getting back to the Duff and Robben times..will take a while to perfect this, but they're getting there very nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,182 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Watched it live in Spain, what a tremendous performance from the first whistle to the last. The pressure, the work rate and the joy at seeing some sublime goals with lighting quick pace was a joy. Hazard is back it, just wonderful to see, he's smiling, he's confident and like this plus the confidence of the rest of the team we may just fuck the media off and spoil the United and City wank fest. Kante was fabulous, just the complete water carrier and did everything he did last season. Cahill and Terry need mass protection, they must fucking love seeing him in front of them.
