If you want to control the pace of the game, Winks is pretty useful.
If OGS loses control of the wheel, who do you want in?Pogba didn’t get Jose sacked. Jose got himself sacked. Results were awful, our football was dreadful and Mourinho just spent every press conference moaning about not having a new CB despite already spending a small fortune on Bailly and Lindelof. Like I’ve said before, Jose is fine when he’s winning. As soon as that stops it becomes a nightmare and he turns on everyone.
I don’t particularly like Pogba or his personality but he isn’t the reason why Mourinho lost his job.
Sol Campbell?
I'm going to be honest he has had four games to sort out the defence and hasn't.
His 1st choice LB picked up an injury in his first game.
We have 0 actual RB's.
Jan has been injured.
Toby has turned to shit.
How is he suppose to "Sort out" anything given those circumstances?
Solskjaer isn’t the man to take us forward, he should never have been appointed really but he is definitely clearing out the squad and focusing on young, hungry players - something we’ve lost touch with over the years.
Well if we don't at least make an effort for Nubel, then you question the leadership of the club.
IMHO it wasn't the defeat itself, it was the manner that was the most worrying. It was just like watching the Pochettino team of August to November, same narrow defence, same non existent midfield, same slow ponderous attacking.Totally agree
Ridiculous melting from posters who should know better
Come on.... We have 2 ACTUAL right backs.... Whether you rate them is another story entirely.
Aurier can't defend, making him a wing back - hence why we play with a lob-sided back 4. Would you want this man in your penalty box?
KWP, well he seems to get shafted by both managers so far, I wonder whether we'll even see him in a Spurs shirt.
Good post!People need to be pateint, i think Jose used this game to test a a few ideas with personel, knowing that Man U would press the two in the middle and Rashford would be a thorn on our right, Moura i think will be the first out the door, and probably Sissoko, as he can only really be effective on the right,in how Mourinho want's to setup, as his short comings will be at the detriment to the team
Ndombele [passing thru the lines, able to beat the press, once his engine is up] and Le Celso[due to his versitilty] will be safe, one of the early things that Mourihno mentioned about the two in the middle is one being more postional and the other the play maker, and i feel thats the reason why Mourinho has given so much play time to WInks and Dier, Mourinho wants to see if Dier can get up to speed and Winks, can beat the press and play forward passess, both are currently struggling.
Going by how Lille were set up when Sacramento was there their game was based on rapid and patient ball possession and deadly counter-attacks.
This season Lille are failing to replicate their form of last season with their current coach trying a host of personel and tactics.
I think rapid and patient ball possession and deadly counter-attacks, is what we will be moving towards, we have seen glimpes of this, the defence is still an issue, and i feel Sanchez will survive, but we do need further recruitment in both full back positions and possibly another centre back.
We lost the game last night, although due to mistakes, but it was the middle of the park, where our deficiences was so evident, and as a result our front four were starved of opportunties until Ndomele and Le Celso came on, even though at that time Man U had decided to shut up shop, but you could see for the last 15 minutes the tempo and passing improved slightly, although Aurier's final ball was up and down, when we managed to create the space.
