Was always gonna be 2nd team vs second team.
Seriously though **** the who's better rubbish. Salah KDB Augero Kane Hazard are all incredible to watch and let's just enjoy then while their in the prem
Serious question.....
I may be missing something, but what has Pogba actually done to need to be put in his place?
I get that he is a flash git, but were people expecting a bunch of goals or something from him because of the price tag? He has never scored a whole bunch and has been a cog in a wheel (and excellent cog, but not a standout Ronaldo/Messi type) so I'm a bit confused.
is is just that he hasn't dominated as expected for the price tag or is there more to this situation that I don't see?
Is that the crux of it?
I read the quote as 'We are Man Utd, we want to be dominant at home and we didn't play fluently in attack'.
But when you have a defensive manager that dislikes you, its probably easier to be boring yourself and say nothing. Unless of course he wants out. Which he does, and anyone would in his position.
The thing with Man U that defies belief with Mourinhio is that he has now had 5 transfer windows there so if his players are not up to scratch why has he not replaced them??
Shaw Smalling Jones Fellaini etc if they aint good enough why does he persist in playing them and why hasnt he shipped them out of the club if he deems them notgood enough ??
Plenty of money there in potential incoming transfer fees to bring in new players
Then you throw in the likes of Pogba Bailly Lindelof etc whom he has signed and doesnt seem to be getting the best out of
Mo though isnt an idiot and his public comments aint some clueless clown mouthing off but calculated psychology
Exactly though what the **** is going on is hard to tell
Whatever is going on players aint reaching potential / consistency and both players and manager are responsible
2 reasons why this is all happening.
1. United don't need to win trophies anymore. All they need to do to make money is to sign big name players. Sanchez transfer from Arsenal was tweeted about more than the Neymar to PSG transfer. They have sold enough sanchez shirts to cover his stupid wages. United are a business, just like people say Arsenal is a business rather than a club who competes for trophies, they just do it better than us.
Pogba doesn't have to perform, he just needs to make them money. If everyone keeps talking about him leaving then Man United are getting free promotion. If Barca do actually want him, it will be such common knowledge that United can earn a decent fee for him and just have to replace him with someone else. Sell Pogba for 100 mil, buy Alli for 120 mil, United win. They would sell 20 million in shirts on the 1st day. The circus will continue and it won't matter if they win the title as long as they keep buying their own galacticos. (which in the EPL is a young player with potential to succeed mixed with a huge transfer fee to weigh them down. -Shaw, Zaha, Martial, De Bruyne @ chelsea, Lukaku both times, etc)
2. Mourinho wants his payout at some point this year. He had already won the EPL with Chelsea so all he had to do was keep them in the hunt and talked about as the biggest club in England. He tows that line very well, but now he wants his pay out so he can go to France or Italy and have a crack at winning the title there to add to his CV. If he wants to force his way out, pick a fight with the most popular player at the club (in the media's view) and watch the shitshow unravel.
