IT'S PREVIEW TIME!!! Burnley vs Manchester United and chance for us to get over the Spurs result quickly! What defence will Mourinho pick? Happy about Martial's potential new contract? Adam McKola is joined by Dale from Stretty News and Stephen Howson MORE FROM THEM: DALE: strettynews.com ADAM: ruclips.net/user/adammckola HOWSON: ruclips.net/user/stephenhowson
Adam mckola is a fool. Howson and dale are dropping logic and common sense and mckola just doesn't care. It's like he doesn't watch the games. WE ARE LOSING BECAUSE OF DEFENSIVE MISTAKES AND LUKAKU HAS NOT BEEN CLINICAL. Mckola is an idiot, honestly. Martial turns in a shit performance and he blames the midfield. Ronaldos work rate shits on martial.
Adam is becoming what is annoying about a lot of united fans atm. Everyone can have their own opinion but if you’re gonna voice yours, give the others a chance uninterrupted. Holy shit
Jose should go with the 4-2-3-1 formation.; go back to what worked in the first place (no complications) and work his way from there. That's what you should do when things go wrong. LVG should have continued with what worked for him (4-3-3 formation) when he was beating top teams and Jose should have done the same as well, but decided to change it for one reason or the other. I love Jose's comments and it looks like a bit of fire is back, which is great to see. He's also right to say that the facts are out there, you think deeply and put the pieces together and that's what I'd always try to do. He said is one of the greatest managers out there and then quoted Hegel, and also said that 2nd spot was one of the greatest achievement last season, which I've been saying also. We could have won the league with Smalling and Jones as CBs, failed wingers as full backs, Pogba having a poor season performance-wise according to fans, Bailly and Fellaini nowhere to be seen, Lukaku having dry spells, Martial and Rashford inconsistent and a different Shaw to what we are seeing right now. He performed a fucking miracle last season and I can't understand why fans can't see this.We could have won the league if Pep wasn't FULLY backed like is the case with Jose at the moment. Lukaku is struggling with confidence, our defence is all over the place, so I feel it's best to put a lot of goals in the team to push teams back and take the weight off Lukaku and the defence a bit because we have the quality to do so.
Black lightning, Alexis and Lingard have to start. Alexis creates chances even when he is poor and Lingard is more consistent than the others in implementing his role. Lingard stretches teams and makes run in behind and Alexis loves to play the ball in behind for runners like him and Mata. Now, I'd love for an aggressive Martial to start to hold the width and cause a lot of problems on the left with Shaw overlapping, but the problem is that we don't know which Martial would turn up. It would be between Martial and Rashford, but when Darlot comes in, I would give Rashford a role where he can drift in close to Lukaku and be the fox in the box because Darlot's delivery is great and can develop into KDB's deadly delivery from the right and it's best to have a lot of players in the box to get on the end of it. Martial can improve in that aspect and it would be great if he did.
I'm not happy about what Mourinho said about how he's so proud of coming second with Man United. He should not be satisfied with second place. He should be fighting and raring to come first place. Has he become a manager like Pochettino, who thinks coming second is wonderful? Has Jose become a manager who'll settle for second place. His statement shows that his attitude is all wrong. He's starting to explain away his failures, justifying them - and yes, coming second in the league IS a failure. For the Klopps and Poches, it might not be a failure, even a step up, but for someone like Mourinho, who reminds people he's "one of the greatest managers in the world", it's a flunking grade. I don't agree with those people - pundits, fans or reporters - who criticize him constantly about the "style of football" he uses. I don't care what style he uses. Like Steven said, results are what count and if he wins titles playing "ugly", it's fine by me. I can understand that he might struggle to win the Champions League with the squad he has, but the league is different. The Champions League is where Europe's best compete. Premier League is where six top clubs compete and the rest are "pub teams", clubs who have never won the league. How did Man United lose points last season? By losing matches against West Bromwich, Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle. The losses against Man City, Spurs and Chelsea can be excused, but the losses against the other teams cannot. And to beat these pub teams, you don't need Alderweireld, Perisic, etc in the team. You may, to win the CL, but not to earn points against these clubs in the PL. And Man United tied against Burnley, Stoke City, Southampton, Leicester City and West Ham. Just not good enough. Man United's squad, poor as it is, is still better than the squads of these teams: Burnley, Stoke City, Southampton, Leicester City, West Ham, West Bromwich, Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle. The reason must be the managing and the tactics.
*Adam McKola Is DELUSIONAL* I love you Adam but today nearly every point you made was responded to with points which discredited your views.. then in your replies you ignored alot of what was said to discredit your views and just tried to shout them down. No one I saying José is blameless but it seems you are unwilling to take alot of what else is happening with the club into enough consideration as if what else is happening barely matters. For this reason I think your delusional.
Problem is you fans are both dumb and blind. Please list all the players the board has provided this manager with, add Martial, Rashford, Mata and world No. 1 DDG. Jurgen Klopp went the the UCL final with Henderson, Lovren and fucking Karius. Stupidity is in the air.
That what I've been saying. Only City and Chelsea have better squads. This club bought Bailly, Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, Pogba, Fred, Mikhitarian, Sanchez and Lukaku for this manager while we already had the worlds best keeper DDG and Luke Shaw and Rashford and Mata andddddddddd Martial. Wow. What more do you want the board to do?
most of the players that were bought arent performing well enough, like pogba, lindelof, fred, and sanchez. We havent seen dalot yet, bailly's last game was bad, and mkhitaryan was so inconsistent.
ezyfnef the truth is most of them are not good enough week in, week out, to win the league. That’s the truth. City spend a fortune on players, drop joe heart, sign new keeper he’s not good enough, dropped to number 2, then city sign another new keeper. Problem solved. Not all signings will be world beaters. Some will not work out, happens every club & every manager.
Since Shaw resurgence, I no longer believe its the manager at fault for Martial. Shaw shows that he only cares work ethic and commitment. I've lost sympathy for him. A young Ronaldo was allowed to make mistakes but he also tried relentlessly, I feel with Martial its half-arsed. Nobody cares if your talented, there have been many, but few make most of it. They don't say its 10% talent, 90% effort for no reason
He was hot and cold, i remember that Tottenham game, the 2-0 in January. If he has decided to give up for being benched and not fight back then what can you say
Because Sanchez is a better player than Martial. In hindsight, yes, Sanchez has been a bit of a flop this season. But this was the guy that the year before got 24 goals and 11 assists. In the bloody league. Those are elite numbers, and something Martial could probably never achieve.
Lmao look how Adam reacted to facts from Howson and the other dude. Constantly raising his voice, not letting them finish their statements, mumbling under his breath. Lmao dude your opinion is biased for Martial, and Pogba. Howson " Martial needs to demand the ball" Adam "what does that say about our midfield" WTF is you are wold class player you asked for the ball you go the ball, create space to receive a pass but Martial doesn't do a single thing. Lmao be more objective and not biased.
I was thinking same. Like did you watch martial play? He didn't have the ball enough to make a mistake and it had nothing to do with the midfield. How can you learn from a manager when you're signing a contract thinking you'll out last him?
My G when Martial got here from Monaco he scored 17 goals, they gave him the ball every time and he tore teams apart. Same thing for Rashford under LVG he was explosive. Under Jose the most aggressive I've seen Rash is when he was playing left back tackling people. SAF will never ask a player of that quality to stay behind and tackle for him. You can back this manager all you want but accept, you and him are what 's dragging US and the players down.
I think Adam is realistic. He's not blinded by Jose's charisma. We have to look at the results. Three years in, and Man Utd's still not challenging for the title. Yeah, the team's not top quality but that's also due to Mourinho. He didn't scout good players. If Poch can scout top players on his miniscule budget, why can't Mourinho? (Poch hired Lucas Moura who cost only 25M pounds). And it's rumored Emery offered Moura to Man United and Mourinho rejected him. So Moura went to Spurs whose scouting manager recognized his talent and swooped down on him.
@@ADoseofEntertainment Utd aren't a top club. They haven't been for 5yrs. They need direction to become one again. Football doesn't respect the badge. Otherwise Liverpool would've won the title alot sooner.
Exactly BELIEVE in not what is facts, the facts is we are playing shit footy Mourinho cannot use a lack of transfers for not being able to beat Brighton, Parking the bus against Lecesiter, there are too many things Jose is responsible for that you cannot blame a lack of transfers on.
Not looking forward to seeing who's gonna play in defence! There's no consistency with any of our defenders bit i would stick with Bailly and Lindeloff and let the partnership build!
The United team Vs Tottenham looked like they didn't know how to attack,..... It's all down to the coach...... I don't blame the players..... (my opinion)... Tottenham on the other hand, through their style of play implemented by Poch, they knew when to attack, how to attack and where to attack because they the players have been taught how to.....
wow. i usually disagree with howson and i agree with adam but in this video its the opposite. howson is absolutly spot on. sorry adam but i think youre wrong with a lot in this video
I think Woodward asked for his approval on all the signings. If he didn't like them, Woodward wouldn't have hired them. Jose said once that he and Woodward are on the same page about everything. He's only unhappy now because of this recent summer transfer period. He didn't get the two extra signings he wanted. But he already got Fred, Dalot and the substitute keeper. Why didn't he get people like Lucas Moura? He was cheap at 25M pounds and he was apparently offered to Man United first before he was offered to Spurs. Why does he have to get all expensive signings? How many expensive signings do Spurs have? The only one they have is Davinson Sanchez. The others were all less than 30M pounds, and yet their team is quality, able to beat Real Madrid in the CL. You have Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Lloris, Dembele, Kane, Trippier, Alli, Lucas, Lamela, Eriksen ... So many of Spurs' players were in the WC, more than any other club. Bale and Modric also came from this club. Chadli is ex-Spurs. So is Kyle Walker. Many of Spurs' players are wanted by other clubs in the league. If Spurs can do this, why can't Mourinho? He can't beat Brighton when the whole squad of Brighton cost less than Pogba. This is why the owners aren't willing to buy any more transfers for Mourinho. He has to deliver before they'll open their purse strings. If he flops this season, they haven't wasted their money on players who'll just work in the Mourinho system, and not for another manager's system. This is fair. I don't think they're waiting for him to win the league before they'll give him more to spend, but they're just waiting him to show signs that he's improving Man United's playing. And by losing to Brighton and not being able to score even 1 point against Spurs (again, whose team cost maybe half of what Man United's team cost) in a home game does not inspire confidence in this manager. In fact, if he keeps doing this, losing easy games, they'll sack him sooner than later.
@@engespress Your entire comment relies on the assumption that Jose wanted the signings we have made. Going off hia recent commenta about how he isnt a manager hes just a head coach, and tbe fact that Ed said we were working on the Pogba deal for 2 years, before Jose was even here, just goes to show Jose clearly isn't having much of a say on whats going on.
If he didn't want them, why didn't he say no? Why didn't he resign from the club if they signed them even if he said he didn't want them? Which manager stays at a club where the financial manager chooses the squad signings and he has no input or veto power? OF COURSE MOURINHO AGREED TO THE SIGNINGS. He even said that he and Woodward are on the same page about everything. This must include the signings. His only gripe was about this summer transfer window. He didn't get the two signings he wanted. Apparently they were for Alderweireld and maybe another defender. He already signed two center backs on his watch: Bailly and Lindelof. How many more does he need? And if Lindelof is a flop, that's his fault. He'll have to play with him and improve him. The owners can't bear the cost for the manager's mistakes. If the manager keeps signing dud players like Lindelof, it's easier and cheaper for the owners to replace the MANAGER than replace players. Something wrong with Mourinho. Poch signs players like Lucas Moura for 25 million pounds. Mourinho signs expensive players like Lindelof who are trash. He gets Fred who cost a lot. He buys Dalot when they badly need to replace Lukaku. What has he shown for all the transfers who cost 400M pounds in total? 19 points behind City. Do they need Perisic and Bale to beat Stoke City, West Bromwich, Brighton (whom they lost to twice in the same year), West Ham, Huddersfield, Newcastle? Do they need to spend the same as Man City to score a single goal against Spurs? Face it, Mourinho's system doesn't work any more in the Premier League. If he's not happy with the transfer window spending and blames that on not being able to beat Brighton, let him piss off to PSG. PSG has owners who are OK with hiring checkbook managers.
It was a Very Good Game Against Spurs... we should continue to attack.. it gives us hope/pumped Thou u can't play an Attacking football for the first time in ages and Expect to be perfect immediately.... We should continue with this attacking manner ... The pleyers Lukaku... is not the man for quick attacking football... we should try Martial... nd like Shaw give him runs of games.....with trust nd confidence in him from the manager... he will push himself to do better... About our defence... jose should stop chop changing every now nd then... Bailly had a bad game against Briton.... still trust him nd use him versus spurs... not to be removing/exchanging nd shuffling players cuz there messed up in a game like that... It will foster lack of trust on the defenders nd kill/reduce their confidence... No team shuffles their defender more than united.. This should change...
How can Howson say maybe it’s the fans creating the wrong environment??? Mourinho has been saying since preseason that if we don’t sign a defender we are fucked this season. How’re the players supposed to react to that when the window closes and we didn’t sign a defender? His negativity started since the preseason and it followed us into the season so it’s nothing about the fans for goodness sake
MrGts92 Yes it is quite clear. But after signing two center backs in two seasons you don’t go around saying we are fucked if we don’t sign another cause the defenders won’t have any confidence and that’s clear already. He could have said he wants a defender but if we don’t get one he’s confident in the ones he has.
Disagree with Howson here. Mourinho has been backed and should be getting way more out of this team. All this talk about him as if he hasn't been able to spend at all is ridiculous. He wanted Pogba, he got him. He wanted Lukaku, he got him. That's not mentioning the several other signings he has made. Sure he wasn't backed this season but why should Woodward have forked out 70 million for a 29 year old Alderweireld when the defenders Jose has already bought aren't delivering? The only mistake Woodward has made was giving him a new deal halfway through last season. The squad is more than good enough for a title challenge and a better coach would get more out of this team easily. I think its important to distinguish between what is a coach and what is a manager. Jose is a manager, not a coach. He is an excellent tactician, highlighted by how good he is at nullifying the strengths of the opposition. Just look at the games we won against the top 6 teams last season. But developing players is not something he has ever really done throughout his career. Wherever he has had success, he has come into a ready made team, instilled a winning mentality and built a defensive base, making his team really hard to beat. The reason why he hasn't been able to replicate this is because he has inherited a squad that isn't "ready made". I think signing players like Alexis, Matic and making moves for Alderweireld indicate his desire to fill his squad with finished articles. He is the wrong fit for this United squad, which is a squad full of young, exciting talent. What does young, exciting talent need? Proper coaching and development. If you don't believe that Jose isn't a good coach because of the lack of player development, just look at the absolute state of the United attack over the past year. There is no structure or repeated patterns of play whatsoever. It's as if the players have just met for the first time. The smartest thing United could do now is to start sounding out Pochettino. There is a real reductionist view out there that Poch should't be considered because he hasn't won anything, but he he's still such a young coach and the only clubs he managed are Espanyol, Southampton and Spurs. Look how well he did at the two English clubs especially with such low budgets. Spurs are now a consistent top 4 team under his guidance and are improving year on year. Imagine what he could do with United's resources? He is actually a good, forward thinking coach and would get way more out our talented younger players than Mourinho is currently doing. His attack actually has structure and repeated patterns of play that are a treat to watch, and defensively they are solid too. Give him a year or two settling in time and I'm confident he could at least challenge with this United team.
Christ. Another awful preview bar Adam. Why have Howson and that other kid on if they both hate Martial and insinuate he's "toxic" and lazy when he was our best player before Sanchez came in, can't see past Jose's arsehole, and embarrass themselves by comparing the modern era of premier league success to the 80's. Absolute madness and probably the most shite I've heard come out of someones mouth and I stopped watching halfway through
I agree with Adam. I think Mourinho is the problem. Woodward and the owners haven't made the best decisions. But Mourinho is the one who picks the tactics. And Mourinho must STOP blaming the players after matches they've lost. It's in very bad form. Of course players make mistakes. Good strategies take into account players are going to make mistakes and the manager still makes sure the club wins despite inevitable mistakes by players. No wonder the players look scared and unhappy. They are worried they're going to be scapegoated after every game. Bailly was badly scapegoated by the fans after the Brighton game. I can't see that he was to blame. If he hadn't done the sliding tackle, that Brighton player would have definitely scored a goal. The defenders are getting all the blame after the team loses a match. The attackers (especially Lukaku) rarely gets the blame that the defenders do although the defenders are always bailing out the attackers who fail in their attacking and lose possession too easily. So this is how Mourinho loses the dressing room. Talks to the reporters about the *"Players' mistakes",* encouraging the criticisms of the defenders by the fans, and diverts attention away from his own tactical errors and general errors in management. When the team wins games and titles, he always takes credit for it: "I won eight titles. I did this and I did that ..." How about giving your players some credit for getting you the titles, mate? When the team loses, it's "The *players' mistakes* cost them the game. They were punished for it." It's always "The *players* did this and that...." He only brings up the titles thing when the team loses to say "It can't be me that's at fault. I am the *manager* who won EIGHT titles, it's got to be the *PLAYERS.* " This kind of attitude loses the dressing room. Very bad for the players. They have to work with shit tactics and so lose matches but the manager blames them in public, saying it was *"individual errors"* that cost them the game. Very very arrogant and blind. If he continues down this road, he will pull Man Utd down, the players will all be dispirited and wanting to leave. No one will want to join Man Utd. Already Sanchez's reputation has been hurt by Man Utd's performance. If he'd stayed on at Arsenal, his reputation would still be good.
That first half could of made me kick kittens. And as for Pogba "flexing his muscles", are we forgetting he came back early after winning the world cup to play against Leicester ?
Cmon Burnley, though they look weak this season......Manchester United also need to again loose this game to catalyse Mourinho's exit... (United fan here )
The players lose confidence as soon as a goal goes in; they stop wanting the ball and we struggle to build possession. That is an issue with the players mentality, rather than mou. That said he doesn't help them by changing the team every week. The way you build strong character is by taking a beating and not shying away from the next hit, every time he swaps out a defender he denies them the opportunity to build character. It has been obvious in the last two games that an experienced cb who is not afraid to hold possession would have made a huge difference
Got so much to say, so here goes. Sorry Adam... But i think Steven is bang on. We knew what you were getting when we signed mourinho. And now that he is doing what he knows best(being defensive when he feels, going against the media that famous seize mentality, defending the players) . So if we can't accept that we should sack him (wrong option acc to me as how can we guaranit won't be another lvg or jose) . if not just back him one hundred percent. But we as fans should not get divided on whether whose fault it is... Thats a recipe for disater(eg. Arsenal) . Mourinho's best attribute is to make a winning team and he is very good at it. Woodward best aspect is the financial part which we very much need to compete with city's investment. So taking everything into account i would say we need a director of football, who'll act as a buffer between the two and also maintain the club's identity.
Great debate. I disagree with the boys, I think the glazers would love nothing more than winning a league. Everything they’ve down pre-this season, shows us that the club is willing to spend. Jose is a manager that can win u everything if the team believes in him and his tactics, but when they don’t its chaotic. Currently he’s lost the players, I don’t think they believe in him, thats the main issue.
Mckola, you said it yourself. Attack wins games, defence wins championships. Do we have a title winning defence? Answer is a fat no. Jose wasnt backed to get a new defender, a leader and good defender. He was told no, do with this defence. You cannot then be demanding titles and blaming the manager when he isnt backed. Our defence has been good last couple of years due to de gea and the system. Our entire system protects our back 4 because they're straight up not good enough. You then complain about style of football, what does Jose do? Plays scintillating high press attacking football against tottenham. We should have scored 3 in the first half if our players would finish. Jose cant finish for them. Then what happens? We get cut down from defensive errors and lose 3-0 due to our shocking defence. So hands held behind his back? Very much so. This isnt on Jose at all, the players need to perform and the man needs the backing of the damn club who are only concerned abour their pockets. If you're a utd player and you cant be assed, or dont have the motivation to perform other than the fact that you're playing for the biggest club in the world and receiving enormous pay checks every week. Get the fuck out of this club. It is an honor everytime you step out on the pitch wearing that badge. Act like it.
You have to give the manager the tools to succeed? Apart from De gea who is the best keeper in the world, he’s signed a starting 11 and from those players who has he improved? So why should he be given more money to waste? Why doesn’t he start to coach what he has instead of complaining. Fans are saying give him time to fix it, he’s had bloody 2 and a half years!! This guy has deluded half of these top reds into thinking he hasn’t been backed. On Monday, United got beat 3-0 by a team who didn’t get backed by their chairman.
Managers don't spend the money and it's out there that not all the signing were Managers choice. There's compromises because of commercial value that the board want.
You call us deluded? How many signings are his? We can't know for sure, but what we do know is that he has come out to say that he is a "head coach", which indicates that some of the signings weren't his and is being asked to form a team out of them. With your stupid logic, Pep was backed in his first season signing the likes of Sane, Stones, Zinchenko, Nolito, Bravo, Gundogan and Jesus and this is with quality players like Fernandinho, KDB, Silva, Aguero, Kompany and Co he met at the club. Why did he have a 15-point gap with the champions, Chelsea that season when he had a side that arguably had more quality than the Chelsea side did at the time? It's because he wasn't FULLY backed to get his team and everyone accepted that fact. Players like Sane, Stones, Gundogan, Bravo, Nolito and Co didn't improve that season with most being shit or flopped and the likes of Sterling that everyone is talking about his improvement was poor that season, why? Pep didn't have his TEAM yet. What the City do? FULLY back him and he went on a shopping spree bringing in the players he needed to get his TEAM firing. After spending £100+ million on full backs and another GK, he gets his team firing and the players who were shit in the first season suddenly start playing to the best of their abilities, why? He was fully backed to get his team. This is the same case with Klopp. If you have a look at City's achievement last season and how strong Liverpool are now, you would understand the importance of giving the manager the players he needs to build his team. I don't give a fuck if it's been two years+, he is a manager that would deliver titles and trophies if he's fully backed and has done this every club he has been. Why didn't Pep coach the likes of Nolito, who he brought in? He ended up selling him the season after. Why didn't he coach Hart and Ihenacho who had a lot of potential? He needed players who can implement his philosophy effectively on the pitch and that's fine. However, if the genius, Pep, needed his players, then why can't we do the same for Jose who has won trophies here even without completing his team? How's that for delusion? You lot need to take a step back and think really hard with some of the comments you make.
Oh, by the way, the manager you are talking about has been backed to get his team, but not to improve on it. He has brought in 20+ players in his time here, so it's not 1 or 2 seasons you know. He's been here quite a while, but hasn't won any trophy. Jose hasn't gotten his complete team yet, but has won trophies here already. Quit the BS.
Tom Bale Jose won Europa league and carling cup, neither of those are united’s level. In the league he has come 6th and 2nd (19 points behind Man City). Of course all of those were his signing, stop defending him with lies. Jose signed the best player in France, Germany, Italy and a solid defender in Bailly and came 6th. He then signed Lukaku, lindelof, matic and sanchez and didn’t achieve anything. Tell me which one of those players are playing to the standard that they are capable of??
Fully agree, tired of this needs more time and backing cr@p etc. Roy Hodgson has done a hell of a lot more in one season with the tools he inherited at Crystal Palace than Jose has done in two years and £400 mil further at UTD. Jose is a has been never to return, like Sanchez.
Forget the money, manage the players at your disposal! Pochettino is what puts Mourinho to shame. People talk about Man United like they need to spend $100 million every transfer window. Imagine what Pochettino would do with this squad! In any line of work, a manager must have authority over their wards, but that authority is earned and nurtured. Not demanded due to past deeds. People like Howson drive me crazy! The football is terrible, the players are not with him, he divides a club that prides it's self on being united. The board have their faults but i'm done with this manager. I want to see the promising youth get a chance not F****** Mctominay.
Lunasmoke Zim the spurs team is arguably better than the United squad, yet mourinho has won more and finished higher than him last season 🤔 get your head out of your arse
Hire Mourinho, his a serial winner! His not winning! What's left? Good football... No! Great team spirit... No! Our best players showing improvement... No! Young players getting a chance and developing... No! The club becoming a laugh stock, dragged through the mud. Because one clown thinks his bigger than the club. I honestly believe player for player, spurs are no where near United. As a collective under a good manager they are better than us every day of the week! Pogba and martial could walk out the club, and they worth about $300 million in today's market. Plus the $50 for Shaw! And for what? "Respect" monologues from a man who is beginning to look out of place.
Kiel Macgibbon Sure, he hasn't won a trophy, but you're pathetic if you believe that winning a league cup will make him a good manager. Before he joined Spurs, he was managing Southampton and Espanyol ffs. You want him to send everyone a public apology for not winning the league or the champions league with them? In his four years at Spurs, he has overachieved like anything. Spurs aren't a team that should be winning ANYTHING, but it is only because of him that they are even on the map. You give him the job at a top team, and of course he will win trophies. Since Pochettino has joined Spurs, Simeone has only won 1 Europa League, which was 3 months ago, yet he is somehow labelled a "serial winner". Don't come up with BS statements like that. That's the sort of thing those who don't know anything about football say.
Talk about media partiality.. Media to Jose (10 mins) - Spurs said no longer the special one? lost magic? - Fighting mood on Monday night? - Burnley unlucky last week? Sean Dyche? - Love for United and what it means to be the manager of United? - Big week for Tony Martial and Luke Shaw? - If you do not win a title at United, would you still be one of the greatest managers? - Were a great manager. But will you still be? - Had great success in your career not recently (something along those lines..and more of a comment than a question). Media to Pep (about 11 mins) - Reactions to the champions league draw? - contender for CL finals? - Opposition (Newcastle) difficult to break? Rafa? - Formations? Opposition’s tactics/strategy? - United not at top. Thoughts? - Newcastle would defend in numbers. How important could Mendy prove to break their team? - Wide play tactics the key? why? - Injuries and concerns? - what is the focus? Opponents or selves? - Mourinho under pressure a surprise? - Any thoughts on Aguero seen with Shisha? - Lucky regarding CL draw? - thoughts on defensive theme in premier league? - still need another midfielder?
A coach once told me this:" When you step on to the pitch, you give it your all, whatever it is on the day. Now it might not be your best game but it's the best you could do. " IMO I don't see this happening with our players with a few exceptions. Even if you forget the fans, which you shouldn't and you forget the badge, pride and history ect., which yet again you shouldn't, at least play for yourself. If you've only got one touch of the ball all game, maybe it's your team but maybe you didn't make yourself available either. That being said it's a long season, still time to right the ship. We have a good manager, a good squad, maybe not good enough to challenge for the title but enough to make a meal of any team on the day.
Exactly howson nailed the nail on the head.the reason y Jose plays defensive coz our defence is shyte. Everytime we have gone for it we get found out at the back!
superr mannn Adam McKola pretty much ignores this though and blames Mourinho.. seemingly even individual player errors are Mourinho's fault according to him. Yes players should be scared to some Degree of making mistakes because your playing for man utd our standards are high!
@@jordykingstongrows3639 totally agree. Dunno what mckola been smoking. If u look at our defence do any of them get into the top 6 teams? Coz of our keeper n defensive set up we ain't been found out as much as we have in these 3 games!
Obviously, you didn't get my point. Lol Well, Moyes spent 70 mill, Van Haal spent about 250 mill and now Mourinho has Spent about 450 mill. After seeing what Pep, Klopp and Poch have done at their respective clubs, I have more reason to blame these lackluster performances on Mourinho lol.
I agree but liverpool's defense were shit than us but they made cl final.....also even city's defense are not that good but the attacking football made their defense good
Gaming Pro yeah man, these delusional people think that having Toby and Maguire in is gonna change the way we play. How do you call yourself a coach when you want already made players? What about coaching young players to play the way you want them to? He buys already made players to make his job easier. Pathetic
We should play GK: De Gea ( despite his struggles) RB: Valencia CB: Bailly CB: Lindelof LB: Shaw CDM: Matic CM: Peraira CM: Fred CAM: Pogba ST: Lukaku ST: Rashford I want this team.
If Sanchez starts you can't say that he's not a Mourinho signing. Mourinho is just a manager that buys hid team. Without money he can't build one. Not a match for United. He expects the board to sell everybody he doesn't fancy and buy whoever he wants. Consumer management, consumption with no eye to the future . He won't survive the CL group, never mind the thrashing we'll get from City.
And what's the logic with the Sanchez comment? Pogba starts pretty much every game and we all know that signing was in the making when LVG was in charge.
Sir Alex wanted Sanchez way back and he joined Barca. Then he went to the Arse. He overhits every crucial pass. If he got that right we'd have beaten Burnley 4-0. Pogba saluted Mourinho when he was subbed at Burnley. What does that mean? New Pog Order?
I have to admit, Jose may be seeing the light. We looked a lot more like Man U versus a Burnley side exhausted from EL exertions. They gave us a nervy last 15. It's a long season. The next five mean much. Luke Shaw can inspire the team to greater heights.
"can't expect Utd to compete", "hands tied behind his back", "being limited" Honestly, this is crazy talk. The club has given Mourinho nearly 1B to play with in transfers and wages. Stop trying to create some warped narrative where Utd are Arsenal, or even Newcastle. It's so embarrassing.
Howson your point don't stick Fergie bought VAN PERSIE because we lost the league to City by goal difference. last season we didn't compete because we did not score enough goals why buy defenders instead? Jose weakness is attacking he doesn't coach that side of football well and he is lying to us that our defense is the problem. i remember in 2006 Evra was destroyed by Sinclair at City but fergie still played him Toress used to grill Vidic every time but Fergie never dropped him or seek buying another defender? jose need to show us the direction we taking football wise then trying to justify his failure with lack of support from the board. we cannot beat Brighton last season and this season is that due to lack of transfers? 400 millions badly spent by him.
jally taze you’re just wrong on so many levels 🤦🏻♂️ we signed van persie because welbeck couldn’t finish to save his life. It was systematic to why we didn’t score a lot of goals last year, if we had a good defence it would allow us to be more creative going forward in attack
Nathan Copestake listen to yourself we were creating chances but we aren’t finishing them. But Jose teams are not known for being attacking the best way of defending is by attacking. On Klopp first year at Liverpool they had a bad defense so they decided to be attacking bcz if your attack deadly teams be scared to cross halfway line. Fergie used to play Wes Brown, John O’Shea, Silvestre in defense we was winning. Fabio, Alain smith, Fletcher, cleverly we won and played creative football with them. How on earth we got Matic Pogba Fred Sanchez Mata Pereira Lingard Martial Rashford Lukaku we only create 1 or 2 chances a game why? If we was scoring then conceding at the same time I would agree with u. We have score 4 goals in 3 games 2 of them penalties 1 a fluke kick by Shaw headed in by Lukaku.
@@josh48367 mate you didn't watch a single match last season then. Until the last game, Utd were matching Spurs for goals scored with less chances created. It's quite clear why he wanted a new CB. Utd attack and the defence is shitting themselves.
MrGts92 stop the madness!! Jose is a broken record he was sacked at Chelsea after 5 defeats in a row he left them 14th on the table. He came to us finished outside top 4 in the second season the media told us he always wins the title on his second season that didn’t happen. He has spent 401m but the football still not good enough we are Manchester United we are spoiled fans we love our club and history we don’t allow médiocres into our club but Jose damaging our club with his confits and divisiveness we are not going to tolerate that at this club we are not Chelsea we deserve better football than he is offering us now
@@MrGts92 admit it ffs. The only plan of attack Jose knows is Fellaini on the 75th minute. He's been clearly just playing with long balls since his first season and you deluded Jose United fans still deny that?
totally with Adam here again! Howson you can't compare the era between Sir Alex vs Jose is ridiculous, the game has changed and we are in a time where Jose has only one titles in the Premier League with the backing of Roman! Even, Sir Alex said the game changed when Roman came into the game! Howson get your head out of Jose lap!
Adam is getting caught up in too much sensationalism... what Jose did last year was amazing...United fans suck ... news fanboys... they don't support the team... always complaining... crying all day... just support the team.. win or lose we ride with the team... The most ironic thing is that some sensational United fans think they want to win more than Jose or know how to win.. You all realize he's serial winner and professional at the highest level right? Thats why he makes 8 figures ... how much do you negative fans make again?
I agree..there is a point where everyone declines for whatever reason... coaches lifespan longer than players obviously.. However, he has won more in last 2 years than every other premier league manager except for pep.
lol... no one said that.. everyone is entitled to their opinion.. I have been a fan for 30 years...however, Im from the states and our perception and perspective about support is different. I live in SF and for example, the Warriors have been garbage for 20 years and then we have been great for 4... but for 24 years we support and the fans really get behind the players and team... I think the UK fans are really affected by the media over there
McKola is bang out of order here, I agree with Howson. McKola is buying into the media vitriol. "United should be better" he chimes, but it doesn't come out of thin air, Mourinho is not being backed by the board. You cannot expect Mourinho to work miracles while the teams around us continue to invest and build their squads. Mourinho could have expected better from Smalling and Jones, and the failure of Rojo and Darmian have put severe pressure on our defense, with Young and Valencia as makeshift fullbacks. We lack leadership in defense, and we have inconsistency in Pogba, and lack of work ethic in Martial. These combined issues need clearing out. The next manager we get will get 250mil, and instantly we will look better and Mourinho will still get blamed. Mourinho came in and won trophies and second in the league with enough points to win it some years. Those jumping all over Jose, are impatient and near-sighted. Sacking Mourinho is not the answer. But it will happen anyway. Stop blaming Mourinho for protecting a shyte back line, that is why he plays the way he does, to get the results he has got in the last two seasons from this pile of poop players, he is up there with the results Ferguson got toward the end of his career with the poop players he had.
A club is a reflection of their manager. Players can ‘let down’ a manager as a one off... or for a stretch. It’s purely on Jose now because he’s proven he can’t get this team to perform well over two years! When is the last time we played TWO good halves. We conceded 1 goal after an unlucky half against Spurs and collapse immediately. Thats on JOSE. Jose OUT!
That's an old fashioned view. Modern clubs are an identity themselves. Players and managers fit that identity, so they can chop and change without faulter.
MrGts92 I think you’re wrong. Managers that are pussies (a la Moyses) are ill disciplined and role over easily. Regardless, if a manager can’t get a tune out of a side. Sack him.
@@michaelstanley3309 you can think I'm wrong all you want but you're still living in the past and those are facts. The best clubs in the world have philosophy and managers and players interchange to keep at a minimum level. Wake up, it's 2018 and not 1970 where you clearly think football still is. Do you also think managers choose all the players and spend the money as well? Negotiate the contracts and meet the agents., Go around players houses prior to signing?
You have to deluded to think what you see on the pitch after spending £400m isnt the managers fault. Hands tied? £400m??? Peps hands were tied with the same cash and look at City
It's all down to the Manager .....not matter how much you spend... Even though I am a United fan myself, I sometimes pity my fellow United fans...it's not all about spending......look at Tottenham, they didn't spend this season but still beat the crap out of Manchester United.....0-3 ,it could have been more.....
Klopp and Poch have spent less than £400m and look at Liverpool and Spurs. LFC didn't have a good spine, now they have arguably the best spine in the league. Peps had a generally better squad I agree, but United only finished a point or place behind City the previous season. Its down to the manager. The board wont leave because United fans aren't united enough - here arguing about Mourinhos antics instead
Jose inherited a mid table side in 2016 our back 4 was rojo blind smalling darmian, our mid field was fellaini herrera mata. Compare that to the talent Liverpool City Chelsea had Spurs had. They were miles ahead of us from the start. 3 years later after besides Spurs the other clubs spent nearly the same amount or more then us. Seriously what do you expect.
Hate how our fans are split into "Martial FC" and "Mourinho FC". Just be fans of MANCHESTER UNITED! I agree that it's down to the players to perform as well and that he hasn't been backed by the board. But at the same time no manager gets to buy an entire new starting 11 where ever they go. We should've signed a defender yes, but at the same time Jose needs to MANAGE and do his job better. Hope Jose and the players sort this out soon! UTFR!
Really pleased that Martial is re signed, and Luke Shaw is proving he is the best Left Back for MUFC.. Can not see how Tuanzebe and Fosu Mensah not here developing. Fred proved that he has it. If you want to loan anyone then loan Martial until JM has gone! Sanchez has given the team nothing.
@Howson, this is what Jose did specifically: the utd team that showed up against brighton was awful (i am talking about the entire team) and when one or two players dont play well, you can blame those players. BUT when the whole team doesn't show up to play, who do you blame? utd plays a lousy brand of football CONSISTENTLY. that first half against spurs was positive but overall it's been unwatchable for last couple years. The most concerning issue i have with jose: utd have NOT consistently shown up with regards to effort, mentality, and attitude. and that is on the coach/manager; no one else.
Oh shut up.....Liverpool went to cl final with their front 3......if jose managed tot then he will be in a meltdown....he has more tools than other teams.#joseout
Maybe the new manager to come in wants Martial to stay as he’s part of his plan ? Mourinho played both Bailly n Lindelof then Smalling n Jones to prove to the board how bad they are ? Everyone says board but I think Mourinho isn’t a top manager because he can’t elevate players to be the best they can ever be. Players are coached to be better, better defending and attacking is all down to coaching, where players should be positioned in different scenarios in defending and attacking and I think Mou isn’t the best at that. Mou can’t coach both simultaneously it’s either we defending good and attacking poorly or attacking good or defending poorly, it’s never the 2 together
My assessment of the defensive situation is this. We have too many unreliable defenders. Jones get injured every time he has to sprint, Rojo is always injured too (although i rate him), Smalling cannot keep switched on for more than one game consecutively and he cannot pass a ball. Bailly has everything to be a good defender and he has shown it time and time again. I’m not concerned about him having a wobble. Lindelof is a player that can be bullied and lose his head. Why did we sell Blind when even he is better than most of what we have? We need to get rid or Smalling and Jones. They don’t even have the potential to be good enough, so what do we keep hoping for with them? We need to use Timbo, RoShaun and Axel as back up to Bailly and another top defender. Because these lads actually do have the potential to be top class players and cannot be any worse than what we have. If we bring in a world class partner for Bailly, our youngsters are good enough to back them up. Lets do what we have always done sign class but also bring through the youth players that are good enough. Axel and Timbo should have been in/around our first team squad since the beginning of last season. But we need to clear out the deadwood and trust our youth to back up a top class centre half partnership. Also lets get Ethan Laird, Gomes, Chong and Co. to step up to the 23’s and let them learn and progress at a higher level.
Julius Oyoyah - Although Mourinho has made mistakes, I don’t buy in to the dramatisation of his tenure at Manchester United. Firstly, he is one of the very best manager in the world and has had success everywhere he has been. His achievements for Porto and Inter for example were remarkable. So he is extremely competent . I think there is a bigger problem at Manchester United than just Mourinho and it’s extremely naive not to acknowledge this. There are two bigger issues than Jose at the Club. 1) We have a board that hasn’t actually backed Mourinho fully the way he deserves. A huge chunk of the money spent while he has managed us, was spent on players that he didn’t particularly want (this is a well known ‘secret’). The club don’t make funds available for the likes of Alderwierald or Perisic, but will put £100m aside for Varane or Bale. You can’t blame the state of our squad on Jose if he isn’t being backed. 2) The players we do have are not performing bar maybe a couple of players. I don’t think Jose has got it wrong ‘tactically’ many times. The players just don’t seem to be able to do what he wants them to do, player don’t seem to be able to concentrate for a fill 90mins and they most certainly don’t know how to dig deep and drag themselves out of a hole (bar a couple of occasions). You will see that none of our defence has been consistent in terms of fitness or performances for long enough to compete at the top level AND it’s a testament to Jose (and De Gea) that our defensive record was pretty good last season. Because the majority of them aren’t good enough for one reason or another. In an attacking sense, neither Young or Valencia were/are good enough. Which is why it’s nice to see Shaw back in the team. Our midfield is still short of a destroyer to rotate with Matic. Someone that has that thou shalt not pass attitude. Because when we attack against decent teams, they’re able to just run through our midfield because Pogba always loses a man in our third, Matic is pulled around to fill gaps left by others and Fred is new so I cannot comment. I would like to see a Herrera, Fred and Pogba midfield against lesser teams because Herrera has the legs and the passion to break down attacks. Finally our attackers bar Lukaku and Lingard haven’t delivered when we’ve really needed them. Sanchez for the most part was useless last season, Martial and Rashford haven’t impacted anywhere near enough since Sanchez arrived and Mata just isn’t a right winger (he creates an attacking imbalance. So a lot of our issues are not down to Jose, they’re down. And it’s naive to keep blaming him because there are very few managers better. Sometimes a squad just isn’t good enough, sometimes the board are incompetent and that all comes to the forefront with present day Manchester United but this issue has been lingering since the Fergie days. The only difference is Fergie had a grip on everything at United, but we also had some world class players and some player that played for the badge. We also had leaders and characters. All of which are absent today in Football for the most part.
@@jayayrhodes Come on my fellow United fan, don't be so blind about Mourinho's past glories.... He's past it....When you talk about Mourinho not being backed by the board honestly you are wrong, he's spent 400 million on transfers and mostly got the players he wanted including Sanchez a player that I actually still don't understand why he was bought,when at the time Lucas Moura was available at 25 million to fill the RW position, ...maybe to cripple City from winning the title last season.... the LW position was fine, Martial and Rashford were very competitive for that position..... When you talk about lacking destroyers you are also wrong, Herrera was a backup but unfortunately he would be overlooked by Mourinho just because he likes Fellaini.... Most of the issues you have just mentioned here directly shows it's mostly down to the Manager.... The board must also be blamed, particularly when it comes to appointing Managers.....but not on spending...
Julius Oyoyah i’m not saying he doesn’t have faults, but there are bigger issues like i’ve said. Mourinho cannot be judged entirely based on this squad because he doesn’t have the players he wants A lot of the players we sign are not his signings. I don’t think Sanchez was either! This is Woodward trying to bring in stars rather players who fit our system. Pogba also wasn’t a Mourinho signing, this deal was being negotiated well before he came. Herrera isn’t a destroyer, Matic isn’t a destroyer either anymore. We don’t have the defence or the destroyer in midfield for Jose to play the way he wants to. There is a huge misconception that Jose is a defensive manager and this just isn’t entirely true. He has always been a pragmatic manager who does what he needs to win. But his successes have always been based on having a very solid defence that gives his team the ability to attack with assurances. His Madrid team wasn’t defensive, his Porto team, his Milan team and his first Chelsea team were not defensive, they were counter attacking teams. They were solid at the back and clinical up top and this style of player isn’t outdated at all. He just doesn’t have the players to do it because they won’t fully back him in the transfer market. I’m not blind to his problems but if you think that he is the biggest problem, then I can assure you that isn’t the case. Pep walked in to a team that was being built for him way before he arrived and has been able to do and buy what he wants even of it means discarding a £25m goalkeeper after 1 season. Klopp has built his team slowly because he doesn’t have the same money so it took him longer, but each player he has are his signings for his system. Jose hasn’t has that luxury the this time around. If he was given the likes of Perisic and Toby Alderweireld our team would be significantly different and much better.
Sir Alex earned everything he did and he earned the right to dictate what got done and he developed players Mourinho hasn’t earned the right to do what he wants at United he constantly reminds us of his triumphs with other clubs I don’t want to be reminded of what he’s done in the past when he’s cared I want him to show with this team that hunger to fight and to win and he’s not doing that he took the job because of the pay check not because he cared I don’t think he cares anymore honestly
I’m stoked if Martial signs a new contract. We cannot lose him. And who would’ve thought that Mourinho and Donald Trump would have something in common? They both should be taking care of business by doing their job instead of obsessing about what the media is saying and writing about them. De Gea Young - Bailly - Jones - Shaw Matic Fred - Pogba (c) Lindgard - Lukaku - Sanchez Fellaini, Rashford and Mata come in as subs. 2-0 United
The obsession with Martial is something else. I keep saying that when the French national team prefers not to have a talented player in their squad for reasons not related to their talent, you have to pay attention. And where is Mata? I would start Lingard and Rashford because they are extremely good and also for the energy they will bring from the start.
Talking about the defence, if Smalling, Jones, Young, Lindelof are huge holes, how come their contracts are being extended by management? Give Andreas Pereira more chances and more games and form something with Luke Shaw.
Everyone tune in to MUTV to see dalot play at u23s level along with Sergio romero as they make their way back to full fitness. havent seen dalot play before so its gonna be cool to see him against u23s PL2 level teams.
We need speed in midfield; the defense is so fragmented at the moment; I'd like to see a 4-4-2; with matic in DM; Pogba and Fred in mid and Jesse in the 10; lets give Lukaku a partner up top as he seems to be really struggling being so isolated up top by himself. I'd like to see Sanchez, the rash or Martial up top partnering Lukaku. Let's go for it. Shaws giving us some great width; let's exploit that and get the fucking win! GGMU
In the di-fence for the moment I'd say the formation should be a 352. 3 centre backs in the back with Matic in front of them in the midfield. Until we can sort it out. Bailey smalling and Jones. I know it's not a great choice of players. I'd play roho if he can play give him a chance.
Woodward did the right thing. Mourinho's record with talented players such as De Bruyne Salah etc show he doesn't get the best out of promising talent. So Woodward has done the brave thing and blocked it. Same thing with Shaw.
Tuanzebe looked good for Villa but they are playing him at right back. He was getting twisted when isolated in the wide areas, lacking the quick feet and agility of a true full back. Fosu Mensah was good last week for Fulham too. Really good attacking display, constantly getting crosses in and being a threat.
Jose is one of the better managers to have when you are struggling to be in top 4. He build an awesome squad for the money he had. He was brought here to win trophies which he did to a less extend but he isnt looking like it now. Now it is time to move on if the results in the next games arent good enough. People are talking about zidane. We need a tactician, an absolute mastermind. We arent build up to have zidane yet. We need a allegri or sarri for eg.
18:20 Mou was allowed to go and bring in Alexis Sanchez, a world class player on 500k p/w, when he had Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Martial, Mata, Lingard at the club.
Mikh was ahead with more assists in the team at the time,though inconsistent but still better than Sanchez...(United fan) ...Martial was also in form at the time,.....hence Manutd only needed a RW, and Lucas Moura was available and cheaper ,25 mill, yet Mourinho chose to buy Sanchez just to bench an In form player (Martial) he doesn't like.....
@S_ Hussain4646 how many assists has Sanchez made since he came compared to Mikhi when he was at Manchester united....also how many chances has he created??
@S_ Hussain4646 So you are comfortable with Sanchez running around for 90 mins and creating nothing for his teammates,..let alone scoring himself or making a difference, than Mikhi,who at least created chances for his teammates and scored goals ...???....
I know this isn’t a video about it but still gonna share my thoughts. How are people now criticising Ed Woodward for not getting Mourinho the players he wants including the past two seasons. This has only come about this season. The first Mourinho summer, we got in four players, which Jose then said he was very happy with. Second summer we got in three players which Mourinho said he was happy with although he wanted a fourth, which he then got in January. Now I do believe he didnt get in everyone he wanted this summer, but sometimes that just happens even at big clubs. Spurs didnt get in anyone and City only got the one player despite wanting more. Why is it that when things have started to go bad you believe Mourinho, even if it contradicts what he’s said in the past which you also believed at the time. In my opinion, the reason this season has started so badly, is due to Mourinho himself; the mood he created in preseason, the criticism of some of his players, etc. Just because we’ve started badly due to Mourinho, doesnt mean you can now criticise Ed Woodward, who from all accounts has done well for Mourinho until this summer. Mourinho said in preseason he should be called a coach not a manager, but this was at the same time he was throwing out all his excuses incase we have a bad season and he gets the sack. Now how people can just blame the board and Ed Woodward for how we’ve played agaist Spurs is beyond me, they added no one to a team that finished below us last season, we at least added one player to the first team (we’ll see if statman Dave is right about Dalot). I hope Mourinho gets the time to turn it around because we can’t just keep flip flopping between managers, but I believe the start to the season we’ve had is his fault, as well as some of the players not performing or playing for him (which again is arguably his fault).
What’s your point? You could only really say 2 of peps signings were a waste; Nolito and Bravo who both cost £14 mil, hardly a big outlay. But I dont really see how thats relevant
For the point howson’s making at 18:30 doesn’t that remind you of a situation last yr where we needed a left back and centre half, however mourinho went out and got Sanchez in the place of martial and rashford and co who were doing great.
What did Mourinho do for United to lose against Brighton? It’s been 2 years and we don’t have a fucking offensive plan. All we do is give it to pogba and hope he does something or give it to martial and if he doesn’t beat 3 guys ‘he’s not trying’. He’s a horrendous coach
You need a proper striker to win the league. With Lukaku up top we are gonna lose a lot of points. Need to put Sanchez up front with martial on the left.
IT'S PREVIEW TIME!!! Burnley vs Manchester United and chance for us to get over the Spurs result quickly! What defence will Mourinho pick? Happy about Martial's potential new contract?
Adam McKola is joined by Dale from Stretty News and Stephen Howson MORE FROM THEM:
DALE: strettynews.com
ADAM: ruclips.net/user/adammckola
HOWSON: ruclips.net/user/stephenhowson
I totally agree with the comments of your guests out with Wodworth and the Glazers
Adam McKola believe your eyes, not the media
Adam mckola is a fool. Howson and dale are dropping logic and common sense and mckola just doesn't care. It's like he doesn't watch the games. WE ARE LOSING BECAUSE OF DEFENSIVE MISTAKES AND LUKAKU HAS NOT BEEN CLINICAL. Mckola is an idiot, honestly. Martial turns in a shit performance and he blames the midfield. Ronaldos work rate shits on martial.
Adam is becoming what is annoying about a lot of united fans atm. Everyone can have their own opinion but if you’re gonna voice yours, give the others a chance uninterrupted. Holy shit
ive never seen anyone talk as much shit as howson lol
Dale speaks a lot of sense. Get him on more. Gives that balance of opinions.
Jose should go with the 4-2-3-1 formation.; go back to what worked in the first place (no complications) and work his way from there. That's what you should do when things go wrong. LVG should have continued with what worked for him (4-3-3 formation) when he was beating top teams and Jose should have done the same as well, but decided to change it for one reason or the other. I love Jose's comments and it looks like a bit of fire is back, which is great to see. He's also right to say that the facts are out there, you think deeply and put the pieces together and that's what I'd always try to do. He said is one of the greatest managers out there and then quoted Hegel, and also said that 2nd spot was one of the greatest achievement last season, which I've been saying also. We could have won the league with Smalling and Jones as CBs, failed wingers as full backs, Pogba having a poor season performance-wise according to fans, Bailly and Fellaini nowhere to be seen, Lukaku having dry spells, Martial and Rashford inconsistent and a different Shaw to what we are seeing right now. He performed a fucking miracle last season and I can't understand why fans can't see this.We could have won the league if Pep wasn't FULLY backed like is the case with Jose at the moment. Lukaku is struggling with confidence, our defence is all over the place, so I feel it's best to put a lot of goals in the team to push teams back and take the weight off Lukaku and the defence a bit because we have the quality to do so.
Spot on mate and let's beat Burnley GGMU!
So tom who plays in that 3 behind rubbish lukaku?? I'd actually prefer Sanchez as the main striker.
Black lightning, Alexis and Lingard have to start. Alexis creates chances even when he is poor and Lingard is more consistent than the others in implementing his role. Lingard stretches teams and makes run in behind and Alexis loves to play the ball in behind for runners like him and Mata. Now, I'd love for an aggressive Martial to start to hold the width and cause a lot of problems on the left with Shaw overlapping, but the problem is that we don't know which Martial would turn up. It would be between Martial and Rashford, but when Darlot comes in, I would give Rashford a role where he can drift in close to Lukaku and be the fox in the box because Darlot's delivery is great and can develop into KDB's deadly delivery from the right and it's best to have a lot of players in the box to get on the end of it. Martial can improve in that aspect and it would be great if he did.
I'm not happy about what Mourinho said about how he's so proud of coming second with Man United. He should not be satisfied with second place. He should be fighting and raring to come first place. Has he become a manager like Pochettino, who thinks coming second is wonderful? Has Jose become a manager who'll settle for second place. His statement shows that his attitude is all wrong. He's starting to explain away his failures, justifying them - and yes, coming second in the league IS a failure. For the Klopps and Poches, it might not be a failure, even a step up, but for someone like Mourinho, who reminds people he's "one of the greatest managers in the world", it's a flunking grade.
I don't agree with those people - pundits, fans or reporters - who criticize him constantly about the "style of football" he uses. I don't care what style he uses. Like Steven said, results are what count and if he wins titles playing "ugly", it's fine by me.
I can understand that he might struggle to win the Champions League with the squad he has, but the league is different. The Champions League is where Europe's best compete. Premier League is where six top clubs compete and the rest are "pub teams", clubs who have never won the league.
How did Man United lose points last season? By losing matches against West Bromwich, Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle. The losses against Man City, Spurs and Chelsea can be excused, but the losses against the other teams cannot. And to beat these pub teams, you don't need Alderweireld, Perisic, etc in the team. You may, to win the CL, but not to earn points against these clubs in the PL.
And Man United tied against Burnley, Stoke City, Southampton, Leicester City and West Ham. Just not good enough. Man United's squad, poor as it is, is still better than the squads of these teams: Burnley, Stoke City, Southampton, Leicester City, West Ham, West Bromwich, Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle. The reason must be the managing and the tactics.
How can he be proud of that season when his team was beaten by Huddersfield, Newcastle, Brighton and relegated West Bromwich (LOL)?
*Adam McKola Is DELUSIONAL*
I love you Adam but today nearly every point you made was responded to with points which discredited your views.. then in your replies you ignored alot of what was said to discredit your views and just tried to shout them down.
No one I saying José is blameless but it seems you are unwilling to take alot of what else is happening with the club into enough consideration as if what else is happening barely matters.
For this reason I think your delusional.
Saying Mou hasn't been backed is more delusional.
Most of what Adam was saying was utter bullcrap. He has been reading The Sun too much.
Problem is you fans are both dumb and blind. Please list all the players the board has provided this manager with, add Martial, Rashford, Mata and world No. 1 DDG. Jurgen Klopp went the the UCL final with Henderson, Lovren and fucking Karius. Stupidity is in the air.
@@DuragAllDay i agree, mo has been given his 2 defenders but spent wrong in lindelof and he got LUKAKU SANCHEZ AND POGBA
ezyfnef But how long has Klopp been at Liverpool? Jose has been at United for half that time and has won more trophies!
Adam dont even let the others speak his blinded by martial and pogba fc
Let's be honest, only Moyes and his ilk could waste the talent currently in the squad.
That what I've been saying. Only City and Chelsea have better squads. This club bought Bailly, Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, Pogba, Fred, Mikhitarian, Sanchez and Lukaku for this manager while we already had the worlds best keeper DDG and Luke Shaw and Rashford and Mata andddddddddd Martial. Wow. What more do you want the board to do?
you're blinded by Jose FC
most of the players that were bought arent performing well enough, like pogba, lindelof, fred, and sanchez. We havent seen dalot yet, bailly's last game was bad, and mkhitaryan was so inconsistent.
ezyfnef the truth is most of them are not good enough week in, week out, to win the league. That’s the truth. City spend a fortune on players, drop joe heart, sign new keeper he’s not good enough, dropped to number 2, then city sign another new keeper. Problem solved. Not all signings will be world beaters. Some will not work out, happens every club & every manager.
Ffs Adam stop talking over Steven
Since Shaw resurgence, I no longer believe its the manager at fault for Martial. Shaw shows that he only cares work ethic and commitment. I've lost sympathy for him. A young Ronaldo was allowed to make mistakes but he also tried relentlessly, I feel with Martial its half-arsed. Nobody cares if your talented, there have been many, but few make most of it. They don't say its 10% talent, 90% effort for no reason
He was in great form before he was dropped for two players with decision making and conversion issues.
He was hot and cold, i remember that Tottenham game, the 2-0 in January. If he has decided to give up for being benched and not fight back then what can you say
Delta Znak why would you move an inform player to an opposite wing
Because Sanchez is a better player than Martial. In hindsight, yes, Sanchez has been a bit of a flop this season. But this was the guy that the year before got 24 goals and 11 assists. In the bloody league. Those are elite numbers, and something Martial could probably never achieve.
He was on 11 goals and 10 assist in January
Stephen Howson u r spot on with your analysis 👊🏾
Videos like this are the reason I tune in, differing opinions and great points
Lmao look how Adam reacted to facts from Howson and the other dude. Constantly raising his voice, not letting them finish their statements, mumbling under his breath. Lmao dude your opinion is biased for Martial, and Pogba. Howson " Martial needs to demand the ball" Adam "what does that say about our midfield" WTF is you are wold class player you asked for the ball you go the ball, create space to receive a pass but Martial doesn't do a single thing. Lmao be more objective and not biased.
I was thinking same. Like did you watch martial play? He didn't have the ball enough to make a mistake and it had nothing to do with the midfield. How can you learn from a manager when you're signing a contract thinking you'll out last him?
Tbh I think Adam was just spewing shit this video, disregarding all the valid points.
My G when Martial got here from Monaco he scored 17 goals, they gave him the ball every time and he tore teams apart. Same thing for Rashford under LVG he was explosive. Under Jose the most aggressive I've seen Rash is when he was playing left back tackling people. SAF will never ask a player of that quality to stay behind and tackle for him. You can back this manager all you want but accept, you and him are what 's dragging US and the players down.
McKola is a child. He gets made to look dumb by Dave all the time and has a tantrum.
I think Adam is realistic. He's not blinded by Jose's charisma. We have to look at the results. Three years in, and Man Utd's still not challenging for the title. Yeah, the team's not top quality but that's also due to Mourinho. He didn't scout good players. If Poch can scout top players on his miniscule budget, why can't Mourinho? (Poch hired Lucas Moura who cost only 25M pounds). And it's rumored Emery offered Moura to Man United and Mourinho rejected him. So Moura went to Spurs whose scouting manager recognized his talent and swooped down on him.
Howson making a play to replace Duncan Castles as Mou's mouthpiece.
MrGts92 then y are they a top cup don’t disrespects the badge like that
@@ADoseofEntertainment Utd aren't a top club. They haven't been for 5yrs. They need direction to become one again. Football doesn't respect the badge. Otherwise Liverpool would've won the title alot sooner.
rojo/bailly best 2
Adam doesn't like being wrong does he? Good on you Stephen for saying and sticking by what you believe in.
Exactly BELIEVE in not what is facts, the facts is we are playing shit footy Mourinho cannot use a lack of transfers for not being able to beat Brighton, Parking the bus against Lecesiter, there are too many things Jose is responsible for that you cannot blame a lack of transfers on.
You're entitled to "your" opinion.
Nam S yeah so are you, we all are but that is not my opinion those are facts.
I think howson was spot on in all of this 👌
Not looking forward to seeing who's gonna play in defence! There's no consistency with any of our defenders bit i would stick with Bailly and Lindeloff and let the partnership build!
when u park the bus u invite pressure on yourselves, just go out attack, score goals and dominate games
Henry V We did that against spurs. Our attackers are shite.
Like what happened against Spurs? Smh
you can't playing attacking for only 1 half and think it's job done
Henry V The reason we started defending was because our attackers constantly failed on every attack.
The United team Vs Tottenham looked like they didn't know how to attack,..... It's all down to the coach...... I don't blame the players..... (my opinion)... Tottenham on the other hand, through their style of play implemented by Poch, they knew when to attack, how to attack and where to attack because they the players have been taught how to.....
wow. i usually disagree with howson and i agree with adam but in this video its the opposite. howson is absolutly spot on. sorry adam but i think youre wrong with a lot in this video
How? Mou has been backed and his signings are failing him.
@@DuragAllDay Who has Jose signed?
I think Woodward asked for his approval on all the signings. If he didn't like them, Woodward wouldn't have hired them. Jose said once that he and Woodward are on the same page about everything. He's only unhappy now because of this recent summer transfer period. He didn't get the two extra signings he wanted. But he already got Fred, Dalot and the substitute keeper.
Why didn't he get people like Lucas Moura? He was cheap at 25M pounds and he was apparently offered to Man United first before he was offered to Spurs.
Why does he have to get all expensive signings?
How many expensive signings do Spurs have? The only one they have is Davinson Sanchez. The others were all less than 30M pounds, and yet their team is quality, able to beat Real Madrid in the CL. You have Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Lloris, Dembele, Kane, Trippier, Alli, Lucas, Lamela, Eriksen ...
So many of Spurs' players were in the WC, more than any other club. Bale and Modric also came from this club. Chadli is ex-Spurs. So is Kyle Walker. Many of Spurs' players are wanted by other clubs in the league.
If Spurs can do this, why can't Mourinho?
He can't beat Brighton when the whole squad of Brighton cost less than Pogba. This is why the owners aren't willing to buy any more transfers for Mourinho. He has to deliver before they'll open their purse strings. If he flops this season, they haven't wasted their money on players who'll just work in the Mourinho system, and not for another manager's system.
This is fair. I don't think they're waiting for him to win the league before they'll give him more to spend, but they're just waiting him to show signs that he's improving Man United's playing. And by losing to Brighton and not being able to score even 1 point against Spurs (again, whose team cost maybe half of what Man United's team cost) in a home game does not inspire confidence in this manager.
In fact, if he keeps doing this, losing easy games, they'll sack him sooner than later.
@@engespress Your entire comment relies on the assumption that Jose wanted the signings we have made. Going off hia recent commenta about how he isnt a manager hes just a head coach, and tbe fact that Ed said we were working on the Pogba deal for 2 years, before Jose was even here, just goes to show Jose clearly isn't having much of a say on whats going on.
If he didn't want them, why didn't he say no? Why didn't he resign from the club if they signed them even if he said he didn't want them? Which manager stays at a club where the financial manager chooses the squad signings and he has no input or veto power? OF COURSE MOURINHO AGREED TO THE SIGNINGS.
He even said that he and Woodward are on the same page about everything. This must include the signings. His only gripe was about this summer transfer window. He didn't get the two signings he wanted. Apparently they were for Alderweireld and maybe another defender. He already signed two center backs on his watch: Bailly and Lindelof. How many more does he need? And if Lindelof is a flop, that's his fault. He'll have to play with him and improve him. The owners can't bear the cost for the manager's mistakes. If the manager keeps signing dud players like Lindelof, it's easier and cheaper for the owners to replace the MANAGER than replace players.
Something wrong with Mourinho. Poch signs players like Lucas Moura for 25 million pounds. Mourinho signs expensive players like Lindelof who are trash. He gets Fred who cost a lot. He buys Dalot when they badly need to replace Lukaku.
What has he shown for all the transfers who cost 400M pounds in total? 19 points behind City.
Do they need Perisic and Bale to beat Stoke City, West Bromwich, Brighton (whom they lost to twice in the same year), West Ham, Huddersfield, Newcastle?
Do they need to spend the same as Man City to score a single goal against Spurs?
Face it, Mourinho's system doesn't work any more in the Premier League.
If he's not happy with the transfer window spending and blames that on not being able to beat Brighton, let him piss off to PSG. PSG has owners who are OK with hiring checkbook managers.
Adam knows his stuff
Lindelof being good on the ball is a myth!! I'm sick of hearing people say he is good on the ball just because he cannot defend!!! He can do neither
It was a Very Good Game Against Spurs... we should continue to attack.. it gives us hope/pumped
Thou u can't play an Attacking football for the first time in ages and Expect to be perfect immediately....
We should continue with this attacking manner ...
The pleyers Lukaku... is not the man for quick attacking football... we should try Martial... nd like Shaw give him runs of games.....with trust nd confidence in him from the manager... he will push himself to do better...
About our defence... jose should stop chop changing every now nd then...
Bailly had a bad game against Briton.... still trust him nd use him versus spurs... not to be removing/exchanging nd shuffling players cuz there messed up in a game like that...
It will foster lack of trust on the defenders nd kill/reduce their confidence...
No team shuffles their defender more than united..
This should change...
Quit the contrary with the Swedish national team, mate. In my opinion it has to do with Mourinho's tactics.
@@Bimbo-Balls because you don't like Jose?
@@MrGts92
No, it's not that. I just think the style that José plays doesn't take out the best in Lindolof, mate.
@@Bimbo-Balls what style of play would suit Lindelof then?? Because Sweden arent a free flowing attacking team nor a possession based one..
How can Howson say maybe it’s the fans creating the wrong environment??? Mourinho has been saying since preseason that if we don’t sign a defender we are fucked this season. How’re the players supposed to react to that when the window closes and we didn’t sign a defender? His negativity started since the preseason and it followed us into the season so it’s nothing about the fans for goodness sake
But he's right though. It's quite clear Utd are fcuked without a defender.
MrGts92 Yes it is quite clear. But after signing two center backs in two seasons you don’t go around saying we are fucked if we don’t sign another cause the defenders won’t have any confidence and that’s clear already. He could have said he wants a defender but if we don’t get one he’s confident in the ones he has.
Disagree with Howson here. Mourinho has been backed and should be getting way more out of this team. All this talk about him as if he hasn't been able to spend at all is ridiculous. He wanted Pogba, he got him. He wanted Lukaku, he got him. That's not mentioning the several other signings he has made. Sure he wasn't backed this season but why should Woodward have forked out 70 million for a 29 year old Alderweireld when the defenders Jose has already bought aren't delivering? The only mistake Woodward has made was giving him a new deal halfway through last season. The squad is more than good enough for a title challenge and a better coach would get more out of this team easily. I think its important to distinguish between what is a coach and what is a manager. Jose is a manager, not a coach. He is an excellent tactician, highlighted by how good he is at nullifying the strengths of the opposition. Just look at the games we won against the top 6 teams last season. But developing players is not something he has ever really done throughout his career. Wherever he has had success, he has come into a ready made team, instilled a winning mentality and built a defensive base, making his team really hard to beat. The reason why he hasn't been able to replicate this is because he has inherited a squad that isn't "ready made". I think signing players like Alexis, Matic and making moves for Alderweireld indicate his desire to fill his squad with finished articles. He is the wrong fit for this United squad, which is a squad full of young, exciting talent. What does young, exciting talent need? Proper coaching and development. If you don't believe that Jose isn't a good coach because of the lack of player development, just look at the absolute state of the United attack over the past year. There is no structure or repeated patterns of play whatsoever. It's as if the players have just met for the first time. The smartest thing United could do now is to start sounding out Pochettino. There is a real reductionist view out there that Poch should't be considered because he hasn't won anything, but he he's still such a young coach and the only clubs he managed are Espanyol, Southampton and Spurs. Look how well he did at the two English clubs especially with such low budgets. Spurs are now a consistent top 4 team under his guidance and are improving year on year. Imagine what he could do with United's resources? He is actually a good, forward thinking coach and would get way more out our talented younger players than Mourinho is currently doing. His attack actually has structure and repeated patterns of play that are a treat to watch, and defensively they are solid too. Give him a year or two settling in time and I'm confident he could at least challenge with this United team.
Christ. Another awful preview bar Adam. Why have Howson and that other kid on if they both hate Martial and insinuate he's "toxic" and lazy when he was our best player before Sanchez came in, can't see past Jose's arsehole, and embarrass themselves by comparing the modern era of premier league success to the 80's. Absolute madness and probably the most shite I've heard come out of someones mouth and I stopped watching halfway through
I agree with Adam. I think Mourinho is the problem. Woodward and the owners haven't made the best decisions. But Mourinho is the one who picks the tactics. And Mourinho must STOP blaming the players after matches they've lost. It's in very bad form. Of course players make mistakes. Good strategies take into account players are going to make mistakes and the manager still makes sure the club wins despite inevitable mistakes by players. No wonder the players look scared and unhappy. They are worried they're going to be scapegoated after every game. Bailly was badly scapegoated by the fans after the Brighton game. I can't see that he was to blame. If he hadn't done the sliding tackle, that Brighton player would have definitely scored a goal. The defenders are getting all the blame after the team loses a match. The attackers (especially Lukaku) rarely gets the blame that the defenders do although the defenders are always bailing out the attackers who fail in their attacking and lose possession too easily.
So this is how Mourinho loses the dressing room. Talks to the reporters about the *"Players' mistakes",* encouraging the criticisms of the defenders by the fans, and diverts attention away from his own tactical errors and general errors in management.
When the team wins games and titles, he always takes credit for it: "I won eight titles. I did this and I did that ..." How about giving your players some credit for getting you the titles, mate?
When the team loses, it's "The *players' mistakes* cost them the game. They were punished for it." It's always "The *players* did this and that...."
He only brings up the titles thing when the team loses to say "It can't be me that's at fault. I am the *manager* who won EIGHT titles, it's got to be the *PLAYERS.* "
This kind of attitude loses the dressing room. Very bad for the players. They have to work with shit tactics and so lose matches but the manager blames them in public, saying it was *"individual errors"* that cost them the game. Very very arrogant and blind. If he continues down this road, he will pull Man Utd down, the players will all be dispirited and wanting to leave. No one will want to join Man Utd. Already Sanchez's reputation has been hurt by Man Utd's performance. If he'd stayed on at Arsenal, his reputation would still be good.
That first half could of made me kick kittens. And as for Pogba "flexing his muscles", are we forgetting he came back early after winning the world cup to play against Leicester ?
Adam cares more about Martial then the club. It painful hearing him talk. All he does is complain about Martial not getting game time.
toasterstrudils cos he statistically is way better than Sanchez
He deserves more game time u clown, he has a right to complain

Great points made by Dale and Howson 👊🏾
The players lose confidence as soon as a goal goes in; they stop wanting the ball and we struggle to build possession. That is an issue with the players mentality, rather than mou. That said he doesn't help them by changing the team every week. The way you build strong character is by taking a beating and not shying away from the next hit, every time he swaps out a defender he denies them the opportunity to build character. It has been obvious in the last two games that an experienced cb who is not afraid to hold possession would have made a huge difference
Got so much to say, so here goes. Sorry Adam... But i think Steven is bang on. We knew what you were getting when we signed mourinho.
And now that he is doing what he knows best(being defensive when he feels, going against the media that famous seize mentality, defending the players) . So if we can't accept that we should sack him (wrong option acc to me as how can we guaranit won't be another lvg or jose) . if not just back him one hundred percent. But we as fans should not get divided on whether whose fault it is... Thats a recipe for disater(eg. Arsenal) . Mourinho's best attribute is to make a winning team and he is very good at it. Woodward best aspect is the financial part which we very much need to compete with city's investment. So taking everything into account i would say we need a director of football, who'll act as a buffer between the two and also maintain the club's identity.
Mourinho creates the environment. Look at what happened last year everytime someone made a mistake they looked at mourinho. Then they never played
Quality vid again
Great debate. I disagree with the boys, I think the glazers would love nothing more than winning a league. Everything they’ve down pre-this season, shows us that the club is willing to spend. Jose is a manager that can win u everything if the team believes in him and his tactics, but when they don’t its chaotic. Currently he’s lost the players, I don’t think they believe in him, thats the main issue.
I love the "debate" between Adam and Stephen!!!! Both of them passionate AF with different opinions!!! 🔥🔥🔥
RVP point was a big one
Mckola, you said it yourself. Attack wins games, defence wins championships. Do we have a title winning defence? Answer is a fat no. Jose wasnt backed to get a new defender, a leader and good defender. He was told no, do with this defence. You cannot then be demanding titles and blaming the manager when he isnt backed. Our defence has been good last couple of years due to de gea and the system. Our entire system protects our back 4 because they're straight up not good enough. You then complain about style of football, what does Jose do? Plays scintillating high press attacking football against tottenham. We should have scored 3 in the first half if our players would finish. Jose cant finish for them. Then what happens? We get cut down from defensive errors and lose 3-0 due to our shocking defence. So hands held behind his back? Very much so. This isnt on Jose at all, the players need to perform and the man needs the backing of the damn club who are only concerned abour their pockets. If you're a utd player and you cant be assed, or dont have the motivation to perform other than the fact that you're playing for the biggest club in the world and receiving enormous pay checks every week. Get the fuck out of this club. It is an honor everytime you step out on the pitch wearing that badge. Act like it.
You have to give the manager the tools to succeed? Apart from De gea who is the best keeper in the world, he’s signed a starting 11 and from those players who has he improved? So why should he be given more money to waste? Why doesn’t he start to coach what he has instead of complaining. Fans are saying give him time to fix it, he’s had bloody 2 and a half years!! This guy has deluded half of these top reds into thinking he hasn’t been backed. On Monday, United got beat 3-0 by a team who didn’t get backed by their chairman.
Managers don't spend the money and it's out there that not all the signing were Managers choice. There's compromises because of commercial value that the board want.
You call us deluded? How many signings are his? We can't know for sure, but what we do know is that he has come out to say that he is a "head coach", which indicates that some of the signings weren't his and is being asked to form a team out of them. With your stupid logic, Pep was backed in his first season signing the likes of Sane, Stones, Zinchenko, Nolito, Bravo, Gundogan and Jesus and this is with quality players like Fernandinho, KDB, Silva, Aguero, Kompany and Co he met at the club. Why did he have a 15-point gap with the champions, Chelsea that season when he had a side that arguably had more quality than the Chelsea side did at the time? It's because he wasn't FULLY backed to get his team and everyone accepted that fact. Players like Sane, Stones, Gundogan, Bravo, Nolito and Co didn't improve that season with most being shit or flopped and the likes of Sterling that everyone is talking about his improvement was poor that season, why? Pep didn't have his TEAM yet. What the City do? FULLY back him and he went on a shopping spree bringing in the players he needed to get his TEAM firing.
After spending £100+ million on full backs and another GK, he gets his team firing and the players who were shit in the first season suddenly start playing to the best of their abilities, why? He was fully backed to get his team. This is the same case with Klopp. If you have a look at City's achievement last season and how strong Liverpool are now, you would understand the importance of giving the manager the players he needs to build his team. I don't give a fuck if it's been two years+, he is a manager that would deliver titles and trophies if he's fully backed and has done this every club he has been. Why didn't Pep coach the likes of Nolito, who he brought in? He ended up selling him the season after. Why didn't he coach Hart and Ihenacho who had a lot of potential? He needed players who can implement his philosophy effectively on the pitch and that's fine. However, if the genius, Pep, needed his players, then why can't we do the same for Jose who has won trophies here even without completing his team? How's that for delusion? You lot need to take a step back and think really hard with some of the comments you make.
Oh, by the way, the manager you are talking about has been backed to get his team, but not to improve on it. He has brought in 20+ players in his time here, so it's not 1 or 2 seasons you know. He's been here quite a while, but hasn't won any trophy. Jose hasn't gotten his complete team yet, but has won trophies here already. Quit the BS.
Tom Bale Jose won Europa league and carling cup, neither of those are united’s level. In the league he has come 6th and 2nd (19 points behind Man City). Of course all of those were his signing, stop defending him with lies. Jose signed the best player in France, Germany, Italy and a solid defender in Bailly and came 6th. He then signed Lukaku, lindelof, matic and sanchez and didn’t achieve anything. Tell me which one of those players are playing to the standard that they are capable of??
Fully agree, tired of this needs more time and backing cr@p etc. Roy Hodgson has done a hell of a lot more in one season with the tools he inherited at Crystal Palace than Jose has done in two years and £400 mil further at UTD. Jose is a has been never to return, like Sanchez.
Forget the money, manage the players at your disposal! Pochettino is what puts Mourinho to shame. People talk about Man United like they need to spend $100 million every transfer window. Imagine what Pochettino would do with this squad! In any line of work, a manager must have authority over their wards, but that authority is earned and nurtured. Not demanded due to past deeds. People like Howson drive me crazy! The football is terrible, the players are not with him, he divides a club that prides it's self on being united. The board have their faults but i'm done with this manager. I want to see the promising youth get a chance not F****** Mctominay.
He won nothing
Lunasmoke Zim the spurs team is arguably better than the United squad, yet mourinho has won more and finished higher than him last season 🤔 get your head out of your arse
Hire Mourinho, his a serial winner! His not winning! What's left? Good football... No! Great team spirit... No! Our best players showing improvement... No! Young players getting a chance and developing... No! The club becoming a laugh stock, dragged through the mud. Because one clown thinks his bigger than the club. I honestly believe player for player, spurs are no where near United. As a collective under a good manager they are better than us every day of the week! Pogba and martial could walk out the club, and they worth about $300 million in today's market. Plus the $50 for Shaw! And for what? "Respect" monologues from a man who is beginning to look out of place.
Kiel Macgibbon Sure, he hasn't won a trophy, but you're pathetic if you believe that winning a league cup will make him a good manager. Before he joined Spurs, he was managing Southampton and Espanyol ffs. You want him to send everyone a public apology for not winning the league or the champions league with them? In his four years at Spurs, he has overachieved like anything. Spurs aren't a team that should be winning ANYTHING, but it is only because of him that they are even on the map. You give him the job at a top team, and of course he will win trophies. Since Pochettino has joined Spurs, Simeone has only won 1 Europa League, which was 3 months ago, yet he is somehow labelled a "serial winner". Don't come up with BS statements like that. That's the sort of thing those who don't know anything about football say.
By that logic Klopp should be getting more criticism but doesn't. Been at Liverpool longer, spent more money now and yet Zero trophies.

A coach once told me this:" When you step on to the pitch, you give it your all, whatever it is on the day. Now it might not be your best game but it's the best you could do. "
IMO I don't see this happening with our players with a few exceptions. Even if you forget the fans, which you shouldn't and you forget the badge, pride and history ect., which yet again you shouldn't, at least play for yourself. If you've only got one touch of the ball all game, maybe it's your team but maybe you didn't make yourself available either. That being said it's a long season, still time to right the ship. We have a good manager, a good squad, maybe not good enough to challenge for the title but enough to make a meal of any team on the day.
Exactly howson nailed the nail on the head.the reason y Jose plays defensive coz our defence is shyte. Everytime we have gone for it we get found out at the back!
superr mannn Adam McKola pretty much ignores this though and blames Mourinho.. seemingly even individual player errors are Mourinho's fault according to him.
Yes players should be scared to some Degree of making mistakes because your playing for man utd our standards are high!
@@jordykingstongrows3639 totally agree. Dunno what mckola been smoking. If u look at our defence do any of them get into the top 6 teams? Coz of our keeper n defensive set up we ain't been found out as much as we have in these 3 games!
Obviously, you didn't get my point. Lol Well, Moyes spent 70 mill, Van Haal spent about 250 mill and now Mourinho has Spent about 450 mill. After seeing what Pep, Klopp and Poch have done at their respective clubs, I have more reason to blame these lackluster performances on Mourinho lol.
I agree but liverpool's defense were shit than us but they made cl final.....also even city's defense are not that good but the attacking football made their defense good
Gaming Pro yeah man, these delusional people think that having Toby and Maguire in is gonna change the way we play. How do you call yourself a coach when you want already made players? What about coaching young players to play the way you want them to? He buys already made players to make his job easier. Pathetic
We should play
GK: De Gea ( despite his struggles)

I want this team.
If Sanchez starts you can't say that he's not a Mourinho signing. Mourinho is just a manager that buys hid team. Without money he can't build one. Not a match for United. He expects the board to sell everybody he doesn't fancy and buy whoever he wants. Consumer management, consumption with no eye to the future . He won't survive the CL group, never mind the thrashing we'll get from City.
Then you think every manager apart from Poch is shit. That includes SAF the biggest spender, constantly breaking British transfer records to win.
And what's the logic with the Sanchez comment? Pogba starts pretty much every game and we all know that signing was in the making when LVG was in charge.
Sir Alex wanted Sanchez way back and he joined Barca. Then he went to the Arse. He overhits every crucial pass. If he got that right we'd have beaten Burnley 4-0.
Pogba saluted Mourinho when he was subbed at Burnley. What does that mean? New Pog Order?
I have to admit, Jose may be seeing the light. We looked a lot more like Man U versus a Burnley side exhausted from EL exertions. They gave us a nervy last 15. It's a long season. The next five mean much. Luke Shaw can inspire the team to greater heights.
"can't expect Utd to compete", "hands tied behind his back", "being limited"
Honestly, this is crazy talk. The club has given Mourinho nearly 1B to play with in transfers and wages. Stop trying to create some warped narrative where Utd are Arsenal, or even Newcastle. It's so embarrassing.
Stephen CORRECT - Adam - WRONG !
Stumpy_Candletop so Jose hasn’t been backed while he spent over 400m
Howson your point don't stick Fergie bought VAN PERSIE because we lost the league to City by goal difference. last season we didn't compete because we did not score enough goals why buy defenders instead? Jose weakness is attacking he doesn't coach that side of football well and he is lying to us that our defense is the problem. i remember in 2006 Evra was destroyed by Sinclair at City but fergie still played him Toress used to grill Vidic every time but Fergie never dropped him or seek buying another defender? jose need to show us the direction we taking football wise then trying to justify his failure with lack of support from the board. we cannot beat Brighton last season and this season is that due to lack of transfers? 400 millions badly spent by him.
jally taze you’re just wrong on so many levels 🤦🏻♂️ we signed van persie because welbeck couldn’t finish to save his life. It was systematic to why we didn’t score a lot of goals last year, if we had a good defence it would allow us to be more creative going forward in attack
Nathan Copestake listen to yourself we were creating chances but we aren’t finishing them. But Jose teams are not known for being attacking the best way of defending is by attacking. On Klopp first year at Liverpool they had a bad defense so they decided to be attacking bcz if your attack deadly teams be scared to cross halfway line. Fergie used to play Wes Brown, John O’Shea, Silvestre in defense we was winning. Fabio, Alain smith, Fletcher, cleverly we won and played creative football with them. How on earth we got Matic Pogba Fred Sanchez Mata Pereira Lingard Martial Rashford Lukaku we only create 1 or 2 chances a game why? If we was scoring then conceding at the same time I would agree with u. We have score 4 goals in 3 games 2 of them penalties 1 a fluke kick by Shaw headed in by Lukaku.
@@josh48367 mate you didn't watch a single match last season then. Until the last game, Utd were matching Spurs for goals scored with less chances created. It's quite clear why he wanted a new CB. Utd attack and the defence is shitting themselves.
MrGts92 stop the madness!! Jose is a broken record he was sacked at Chelsea after 5 defeats in a row he left them 14th on the table. He came to us finished outside top 4 in the second season the media told us he always wins the title on his second season that didn’t happen. He has spent 401m but the football still not good enough we are Manchester United we are spoiled fans we love our club and history we don’t allow médiocres into our club but Jose damaging our club with his confits and divisiveness we are not going to tolerate that at this club we are not Chelsea we deserve better football than he is offering us now
@@MrGts92 admit it ffs. The only plan of attack Jose knows is Fellaini on the 75th minute. He's been clearly just playing with long balls since his first season and you deluded Jose United fans still deny that?
I agree with Adam. He is Right. Our players look scared to make errors
Boo hoo. They play for Utd now Northwich Victoria. They'd utterly shit themselves playing for Real who are Partizan as it gets.
upload your videos as podcasts!!!
Martial should leave! For his Sake and for the Clubs Sake!
totally with Adam here again! Howson you can't compare the era between Sir Alex vs Jose is ridiculous, the game has changed and we are in a time where Jose has only one titles in the Premier League with the backing of Roman! Even, Sir Alex said the game changed when Roman came into the game! Howson get your head out of Jose lap!
Adam is getting caught up in too much sensationalism... what Jose did last year was amazing...United fans suck ... news fanboys... they don't support the team... always complaining... crying all day... just support the team.. win or lose we ride with the team... The most ironic thing is that some sensational United fans think they want to win more than Jose or know how to win.. You all realize he's serial winner and professional at the highest level right? Thats why he makes 8 figures ... how much do you negative fans make again?
I agree..there is a point where everyone declines for whatever reason... coaches lifespan longer than players obviously.. However, he has won more in last 2 years than every other premier league manager except for pep.
Ah yes, the classic the only people who agree with me are real fans.
lol... no one said that.. everyone is entitled to their opinion.. I have been a fan for 30 years...however, Im from the states and our perception and perspective about support is different. I live in SF and for example, the Warriors have been garbage for 20 years and then we have been great for 4... but for 24 years we support and the fans really get behind the players and team... I think the UK fans are really affected by the media over there
that is probably true ... but it is true .. so his shit tactics knocked us out
@@DuragAllDay ah the classic hypocrisy, where Duron himself only sees Jose outers as real fans.
We have got 16 yr olds that are better than our 1st choice defenders... honestly
Link for Ched well then our future looks bright 🤔😏
If Jose can ruin the confidence of a key WC plqyer like Lindelof, then he would for sure just ruin their careers along with their confidence
Let’s please get this win
Line-up:
DDG
Valencia; Smalling; Bailly: Shaw

Score: BUR 1 - 3 MUN
McKola is bang out of order here, I agree with Howson. McKola is buying into the media vitriol. "United should be better" he chimes, but it doesn't come out of thin air, Mourinho is not being backed by the board. You cannot expect Mourinho to work miracles while the teams around us continue to invest and build their squads. Mourinho could have expected better from Smalling and Jones, and the failure of Rojo and Darmian have put severe pressure on our defense, with Young and Valencia as makeshift fullbacks. We lack leadership in defense, and we have inconsistency in Pogba, and lack of work ethic in Martial. These combined issues need clearing out. The next manager we get will get 250mil, and instantly we will look better and Mourinho will still get blamed. Mourinho came in and won trophies and second in the league with enough points to win it some years. Those jumping all over Jose, are impatient and near-sighted. Sacking Mourinho is not the answer. But it will happen anyway. Stop blaming Mourinho for protecting a shyte back line, that is why he plays the way he does, to get the results he has got in the last two seasons from this pile of poop players, he is up there with the results Ferguson got toward the end of his career with the poop players he had.
A club is a reflection of their manager. Players can ‘let down’ a manager as a one off... or for a stretch.
It’s purely on Jose now because he’s proven he can’t get this team to perform well over two years! When is the last time we played TWO good halves.
We conceded 1 goal after an unlucky half against Spurs and collapse immediately. Thats on JOSE. Jose OUT!
That's an old fashioned view. Modern clubs are an identity themselves. Players and managers fit that identity, so they can chop and change without faulter.
MrGts92 I think you’re wrong. Managers that are pussies (a la Moyses) are ill disciplined and role over easily.
Regardless, if a manager can’t get a tune out of a side. Sack him.
@@michaelstanley3309 you can think I'm wrong all you want but you're still living in the past and those are facts. The best clubs in the world have philosophy and managers and players interchange to keep at a minimum level. Wake up, it's 2018 and not 1970 where you clearly think football still is.
Do you also think managers choose all the players and spend the money as well? Negotiate the contracts and meet the agents., Go around players houses prior to signing?
Adam stop getting butthurt because some fans don’t agree with your favorite players attitude or potential.
You have to deluded to think what you see on the pitch after spending £400m isnt the managers fault. Hands tied? £400m??? Peps hands were tied with the same cash and look at City
What did pep have already waiting for him ? His whole spine is there and still is there , kompany , Silva, de brunye, aguaro
It's all down to the Manager .....not matter how much you spend... Even though I am a United fan myself, I sometimes pity my fellow United fans...it's not all about spending......look at Tottenham, they didn't spend this season but still beat the crap out of Manchester United.....0-3 ,it could have been more.....
Klopp and Poch have spent less than £400m and look at Liverpool and Spurs. LFC didn't have a good spine, now they have arguably the best spine in the league. Peps had a generally better squad I agree, but United only finished a point or place behind City the previous season.
Its down to the manager. The board wont leave because United fans aren't united enough - here arguing about Mourinhos antics instead
chilled99 pep had a better original team more money and was allowed to make signings that he wanted to which arguably hasn’t happened with Man U
Jose inherited a mid table side in 2016 our back 4 was rojo blind smalling darmian, our mid field was fellaini herrera mata. Compare that to the talent Liverpool City Chelsea had Spurs had. They were miles ahead of us from the start. 3 years later after besides Spurs the other clubs spent nearly the same amount or more then us. Seriously what do you expect.
Hate how our fans are split into "Martial FC" and "Mourinho FC". Just be fans of MANCHESTER UNITED! I agree that it's down to the players to perform as well and that he hasn't been backed by the board. But at the same time no manager gets to buy an entire new starting 11 where ever they go. We should've signed a defender yes, but at the same time Jose needs to MANAGE and do his job better. Hope Jose and the players sort this out soon! UTFR!
I totally agree with what Adam is saying Howson just lives on his own planet
feisty and passionate, good work guys. 👏
Sack the pundits and put Howson on. He actually ANALYSES the game for goodness sake.
On McKola's side here. There's a point where you gotta think how hasn't he improved these players. Coaching seems to be lost in the world of transfers
Adam puts so much sense in all the videos...Top lad!!✌🏼
Won't be be surprised if we lose this game aswell
My lineup:
De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Fred, Pogba, Pereira, Martial, Lukaku.
Really pleased that Martial is re signed, and Luke Shaw is proving he is the best Left Back for MUFC.. Can not see how Tuanzebe and Fosu Mensah not here developing. Fred proved that he has it. If you want to loan anyone then loan Martial until JM has gone! Sanchez has given the team nothing.
Sorry Adam but Steven has a point there... 18:00-
@Howson, this is what Jose did specifically: the utd team that showed up against brighton was awful (i am talking about the entire team) and when one or two players dont play well, you can blame those players. BUT when the whole team doesn't show up to play, who do you blame? utd plays a lousy brand of football CONSISTENTLY. that first half against spurs was positive but overall it's been unwatchable for last couple years. The most concerning issue i have with jose: utd have NOT consistently shown up with regards to effort, mentality, and attitude. and that is on the coach/manager; no one else.
No tools no results. Give jose tottenham and he will win the league#standingwithjose
give howson food and he will eat all of it
Oh shut up.....Liverpool went to cl final with their front 3......if jose managed tot then he will be in a meltdown....he has more tools than other teams.#joseout
@@sreevatshan1866 you mean with Salah and then bottled it without him.
Maybe the new manager to come in wants Martial to stay as he’s part of his plan ?
Mourinho played both Bailly n Lindelof then Smalling n Jones to prove to the board how bad they are ?
Everyone says board but I think Mourinho isn’t a top manager because he can’t elevate players to be the best they can ever be. Players are coached to be better, better defending and attacking is all down to coaching, where players should be positioned in different scenarios in defending and attacking and I think Mou isn’t the best at that. Mou can’t coach both simultaneously it’s either we defending good and attacking poorly or attacking good or defending poorly, it’s never the 2 together
Dale is spot on with the squad prediction imo
My assessment of the defensive situation is this. We have too many unreliable defenders. Jones get injured every time he has to sprint, Rojo is always injured too (although i rate him), Smalling cannot keep switched on for more than one game consecutively and he cannot pass a ball.
Bailly has everything to be a good defender and he has shown it time and time again. I’m not concerned about him having a wobble. Lindelof is a player that can be bullied and lose his head.
Why did we sell Blind when even he is better than most of what we have?
We need to get rid or Smalling and Jones. They don’t even have the potential to be good enough, so what do we keep hoping for with them?
We need to use Timbo, RoShaun and Axel as back up to Bailly and another top defender. Because these lads actually do have the potential to be top class players and cannot be any worse than what we have. If we bring in a world class partner for Bailly, our youngsters are good enough to back them up.
Lets do what we have always done sign class but also bring through the youth players that are good enough. Axel and Timbo should have been in/around our first team squad since the beginning of last season. But we need to clear out the deadwood and trust our youth to back up a top class centre half partnership.
Also lets get Ethan Laird, Gomes, Chong and Co. to step up to the 23’s and let them learn and progress at a higher level.
Unfortunately not with the Current Manager, Mourinho is toxic... A Manager like Jardim will be gem for Manchester United.... He fits your description
Julius Oyoyah - Although Mourinho has made mistakes, I don’t buy in to the dramatisation of his tenure at Manchester United.
Firstly, he is one of the very best manager in the world and has had success everywhere he has been. His achievements for Porto and Inter for example were remarkable. So he is extremely competent .
I think there is a bigger problem at Manchester United than just Mourinho and it’s extremely naive not to acknowledge this. There are two bigger issues than Jose at the Club.
1) We have a board that hasn’t actually backed Mourinho fully the way he deserves. A huge chunk of the money spent while he has managed us, was spent on players that he didn’t particularly want (this is a well known ‘secret’). The club don’t make funds available for the likes of Alderwierald or Perisic, but will put £100m aside for Varane or Bale. You can’t blame the state of our squad on Jose if he isn’t being backed.
2) The players we do have are not performing bar maybe a couple of players. I don’t think Jose has got it wrong ‘tactically’ many times. The players just don’t seem to be able to do what he wants them to do, player don’t seem to be able to concentrate for a fill 90mins and they most certainly don’t know how to dig deep and drag themselves out of a hole (bar a couple of occasions).
You will see that none of our defence has been consistent in terms of fitness or performances for long enough to compete at the top level AND it’s a testament to Jose (and De Gea) that our defensive record was pretty good last season. Because the majority of them aren’t good enough for one reason or another. In an attacking sense, neither Young or Valencia were/are good enough. Which is why it’s nice to see Shaw back in the team.
Our midfield is still short of a destroyer to rotate with Matic. Someone that has that thou shalt not pass attitude. Because when we attack against decent teams, they’re able to just run through our midfield because Pogba always loses a man in our third, Matic is pulled around to fill gaps left by others and Fred is new so I cannot comment. I would like to see a Herrera, Fred and Pogba midfield against lesser teams because Herrera has the legs and the passion to break down attacks.
Finally our attackers bar Lukaku and Lingard haven’t delivered when we’ve really needed them. Sanchez for the most part was useless last season, Martial and Rashford haven’t impacted anywhere near enough since Sanchez arrived and Mata just isn’t a right winger (he creates an attacking imbalance.
So a lot of our issues are not down to Jose, they’re down. And it’s naive to keep blaming him because there are very few managers better. Sometimes a squad just isn’t good enough, sometimes the board are incompetent and that all comes to the forefront with present day Manchester United but this issue has been lingering since the Fergie days. The only difference is Fergie had a grip on everything at United, but we also had some world class players and some player that played for the badge. We also had leaders and characters. All of which are absent today in Football for the most part.
@@jayayrhodes Come on my fellow United fan, don't be so blind about Mourinho's past glories.... He's past it....When you talk about Mourinho not being backed by the board honestly you are wrong, he's spent 400 million on transfers and mostly got the players he wanted including Sanchez a player that I actually still don't understand why he was bought,when at the time Lucas Moura was available at 25 million to fill the RW position, ...maybe to cripple City from winning the title last season.... the LW position was fine, Martial and Rashford were very competitive for that position..... When you talk about lacking destroyers you are also wrong, Herrera was a backup but unfortunately he would be overlooked by Mourinho just because he likes Fellaini....
Most of the issues you have just mentioned here directly shows it's mostly down to the Manager.... The board must also be blamed, particularly when it comes to appointing Managers.....but not on spending...
Julius Oyoyah i’m not saying he doesn’t have faults, but there are bigger issues like i’ve said. Mourinho cannot be judged entirely based on this squad because he doesn’t have the players he wants
A lot of the players we sign are not his signings. I don’t think Sanchez was either! This is Woodward trying to bring in stars rather players who fit our system. Pogba also wasn’t a Mourinho signing, this deal was being negotiated well before he came.
Herrera isn’t a destroyer, Matic isn’t a destroyer either anymore. We don’t have the defence or the destroyer in midfield for Jose to play the way he wants to.
There is a huge misconception that Jose is a defensive manager and this just isn’t entirely true. He has always been a pragmatic manager who does what he needs to win. But his successes have always been based on having a very solid defence that gives his team the ability to attack with assurances. His Madrid team wasn’t defensive, his Porto team, his Milan team and his first Chelsea team were not defensive, they were counter attacking teams. They were solid at the back and clinical up top and this style of player isn’t outdated at all. He just doesn’t have the players to do it because they won’t fully back him in the transfer market.
I’m not blind to his problems but if you think that he is the biggest problem, then I can assure you that isn’t the case.
Pep walked in to a team that was being built for him way before he arrived and has been able to do and buy what he wants even of it means discarding a £25m goalkeeper after 1 season. Klopp has built his team slowly because he doesn’t have the same money so it took him longer, but each player he has are his signings for his system. Jose hasn’t has that luxury the this time around.
If he was given the likes of Perisic and Toby Alderweireld our team would be significantly different and much better.
Sir Alex earned everything he did and he earned the right to dictate what got done and he developed players Mourinho hasn’t earned the right to do what he wants at United he constantly reminds us of his triumphs with other clubs I don’t want to be reminded of what he’s done in the past when he’s cared I want him to show with this team that hunger to fight and to win and he’s not doing that he took the job because of the pay check not because he cared I don’t think he cares anymore honestly
Howson is practically drowning in the Jose Kool Aid lol
I’m stoked if Martial signs a new contract. We cannot lose him.
And who would’ve thought that Mourinho and Donald Trump would have something in common? They both should be taking care of business by doing their job instead of obsessing about what the media is saying and writing about them.
De Gea
Young - Bailly - Jones - Shaw
Matic
Fred - Pogba (c)
Lindgard - Lukaku - Sanchez
Fellaini, Rashford and Mata come in as subs.
2-0 United
McKola and Howson need to go head to head and see out their differences...that was fun
Couldn't clearly understand that guy with Irish accent but I do enjoy listening to Stephen Howson's opinions
The obsession with Martial is something else. I keep saying that when the French national team prefers not to have a talented player in their squad for reasons not related to their talent, you have to pay attention. And where is Mata? I would start Lingard and Rashford because they are extremely good and also for the energy they will bring from the start.
Adam, be neutral mate....you’re a biased host. Martial can be the best based on talent alone....grow up
Talking about the defence, if Smalling, Jones, Young, Lindelof are huge holes, how come their contracts are being extended by management? Give Andreas Pereira more chances and more games and form something with Luke Shaw.
Jose spent 60 million on centre backs last year. You can't say the board didnt back him.
We heard you the first time, Adam; now let the others talk (without talking over them). Ffs, man. And stop reading The Sun so much.
Everyone tune in to MUTV to see dalot play at u23s level along with Sergio romero as they make their way back to full fitness. havent seen dalot play before so its gonna be cool to see him against u23s PL2 level teams.
We need speed in midfield; the defense is so fragmented at the moment; I'd like to see a 4-4-2; with matic in DM; Pogba and Fred in mid and Jesse in the 10; lets give Lukaku a partner up top as he seems to be really struggling being so isolated up top by himself. I'd like to see Sanchez, the rash or Martial up top partnering Lukaku. Let's go for it. Shaws giving us some great width; let's exploit that and get the fucking win! GGMU
In the di-fence for the moment I'd say the formation should be a 352. 3 centre backs in the back with Matic in front of them in the midfield. Until we can sort it out. Bailey smalling and Jones. I know it's not a great choice of players. I'd play roho if he can play give him a chance.
Howson is delusional. United have spent big money, badly, in Jose’s reign. Saying that “can’t compete” with Liverpool and City is farcical.
McKola speaking the truth
Loving the fact United fans are living in the past... sound familiar to the shit you used to spout about Liverpool
hope we play more like the first half again, it was nice to watch United attack an opponent.
Woodward did the right thing. Mourinho's record with talented players such as De Bruyne Salah etc show he doesn't get the best out of promising talent. So Woodward has done the brave thing and blocked it. Same thing with Shaw.
What about the other talented players that thrived under him? Every manager had talents that didn't make it under him
@@hollymide Ready made players in their prime. You can't name a fairly young player that's thrived under him
Tuanzebe looked good for Villa but they are playing him at right back. He was getting twisted when isolated in the wide areas, lacking the quick feet and agility of a true full back. Fosu Mensah was good last week for Fulham too. Really good attacking display, constantly getting crosses in and being a threat.
Neither of them are best at full back.
Jose is one of the better managers to have when you are struggling to be in top 4. He build an awesome squad for the money he had. He was brought here to win trophies which he did to a less extend but he isnt looking like it now. Now it is time to move on if the results in the next games arent good enough. People are talking about zidane. We need a tactician, an absolute mastermind. We arent build up to have zidane yet. We need a allegri or sarri for eg.
18:20
Mou was allowed to go and bring in Alexis Sanchez, a world class player on 500k p/w, when he had Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Martial, Mata, Lingard at the club.
Mikhi was dog shit for united
@@pandasmooth *inconsistent
Mikh was ahead with more assists in the team at the time,though inconsistent but still better than Sanchez...(United fan) ...Martial was also in form at the time,.....hence Manutd only needed a RW, and Lucas Moura was available and cheaper ,25 mill, yet Mourinho chose to buy Sanchez just to bench an In form player (Martial) he doesn't like.....
@S_ Hussain4646 how many assists has Sanchez made since he came compared to Mikhi when he was at Manchester united....also how many chances has he created??
@S_ Hussain4646 So you are comfortable with Sanchez running around for 90 mins and creating nothing for his teammates,..let alone scoring himself or making a difference, than Mikhi,who at least created chances for his teammates and scored goals ...???....
I know this isn’t a video about it but still gonna share my thoughts. How are people now criticising Ed Woodward for not getting Mourinho the players he wants including the past two seasons. This has only come about this season. The first Mourinho summer, we got in four players, which Jose then said he was very happy with. Second summer we got in three players which Mourinho said he was happy with although he wanted a fourth, which he then got in January. Now I do believe he didnt get in everyone he wanted this summer, but sometimes that just happens even at big clubs. Spurs didnt get in anyone and City only got the one player despite wanting more. Why is it that when things have started to go bad you believe Mourinho, even if it contradicts what he’s said in the past which you also believed at the time. In my opinion, the reason this season has started so badly, is due to Mourinho himself; the mood he created in preseason, the criticism of some of his players, etc. Just because we’ve started badly due to Mourinho, doesnt mean you can now criticise Ed Woodward, who from all accounts has done well for Mourinho until this summer. Mourinho said in preseason he should be called a coach not a manager, but this was at the same time he was throwing out all his excuses incase we have a bad season and he gets the sack. Now how people can just blame the board and Ed Woodward for how we’ve played agaist Spurs is beyond me, they added no one to a team that finished below us last season, we at least added one player to the first team (we’ll see if statman Dave is right about Dalot). I hope Mourinho gets the time to turn it around because we can’t just keep flip flopping between managers, but I believe the start to the season we’ve had is his fault, as well as some of the players not performing or playing for him (which again is arguably his fault).
Pep got a whole new back 5 AFTER wasted transfers in the first season with a squad that was already better than Utd.
What’s your point? You could only really say 2 of peps signings were a waste; Nolito and Bravo who both cost £14 mil, hardly a big outlay. But I dont really see how thats relevant
I’m going to say 1-0 United
I don’t know what’s happened to Hawson but Adam is the only one keeping watching these days!
For the point howson’s making at 18:30 doesn’t that remind you of a situation last yr where we needed a left back and centre half, however mourinho went out and got Sanchez in the place of martial and rashford and co who were doing great.
What did Mourinho do for United to lose against Brighton? It’s been 2 years and we don’t have a fucking offensive plan. All we do is give it to pogba and hope he does something or give it to martial and if he doesn’t beat 3 guys ‘he’s not trying’. He’s a horrendous coach
You need a proper striker to win the league. With Lukaku up top we are gonna lose a lot of points. Need to put Sanchez up front with martial on the left.
Dale spot on about Martial situation.
