With that, another recored is broken.
I honestly think so. Fellaini is everywhere and pretty involved in everything.

This United team is playing pants, nothing like a Mou team. It was clear they were missing some vital roles last year; a playmaker, a defensive midfielder, a quality central midfielder and a striker. They got Pogba, Miki and Ibra which has undoubtably covered three of the four, they might not have the depth or overall quality as City, Chelsea and Arsenal have at their disposal but they have some damn good players, better than most of the rest but what is with the off ball movement, it isn't like they are standing still in space they have a man on them. I don't care how good your midfielders are if the team isn't creating space for them to pass into they are going to be hindered. Pogba and Miki for a fact have the technical ability to play anybody in but they need that positive motion. They look their best on the break but not playing to that strength. Mou needs to tell the fans and the board to quit wanting attacking football and play to the teams strengths.
Watford were loads better. Really like Deeney.

How the fuck do we not create like any chances with the players we have? 2 shots on goal against Watford is pathetic.

I think Chelsea fucked up his man management. There is no reason for the players to be like this, this is not Van Gaal.

2014-2015 he won the league so not long ago? Go ask when Wenger last won the league.
Pogba passing 90% of the time either lateral or back. Rooney losing a lot of balls. Shitty crosses all around.
United was dangerous only when the balls managed to finally reach Zlatan. And that because of Zlatan not some well exercised build-up play.

Karma.Watching the Atleti highlights...why can't our players play like that?
Well managers of top clubs usually don't leave with success..
Rooney. Pogba completely lost as to what his role is. Telling to me that the goal came from a move the started with Zlatan coming short to get the ball and pushing with it, Rashford jumps on a chance while Rooney just puts his hands up like the useless shit he is. Lots of problems all over the pitch, but getting rid of Wayne and getting a proper midfield established will help.
Yup, all they'd done was beat Bournemouth, Hull and Southampton. Can't wait to play them, tbh.

Not really unless Jose sorts out the midfield/formation.
City are not going to drop many points.
We would have beaten United if we actually played a good formation. I hate the diamond.
I believe the term being tossed around here was SAF era-esque. 😅

I dont know Pep left with success unless you say not winning the CL is instafail.
It is if you ask bayern-gaf. Even if you don't ask them they'll tell you. Repeatedly.

so next few matches in PL will be against leicester, stoke and liverpool. i guess klopp will loose against mou since he aint special but leicester seems to be on the rise again and stoke needs points even more badly then ManU
hey as a BVB supporter it was damn frustrating last season. also bayern didnt in CL every season before Pep came so (more like failing against milan and chelsea)...

16 months ago. I know hard to remember considering the vast list of managers that won since he last won.

Pogba loves a shot from 30 yard doesn't he?
Stoke play Martins Indi tho....
I wasn't talking about United beating City.

I wish eternal damnation upon Mou for not letting De Bruyne go to BVB in 2013 (& 2014 too, afair).
They have Carrick and Schweinsteiger as well. I guess Mou just doesn't want to rely on them because of their age, fitness, jinury concerns but who knows. Fellaini has done the job asked of him but in that deep role he offers very little to the attack.
Martns Indi is infecting the whole team.

Yes! Palace!
Both CB's score within minutes.

Some one needs to gif just the Indi bit.

If he had any ambition, he would've stayed at Liverpool and fought to get into the starting XI.
Benefited from big budget teams that carried on pure talent. Most opposing managers have got mourinho figured out by now which is why he can't just rely on pure talent anymore.
I'm sorry but mourinho should no longer be considered as a top 5 manager.
Of course it wasn't luck previously but that's why I say opposing managers have got him figured out.
