evenstevens Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Bredbury Blue said: "Its a widely shared view that Mourinho is yesterdays man." Is it? I think that view maybe a little premature. Have you seen his honours list (see link below)? Two seasons ago he won the Premier and I think he was manager of the year. He's moved to a club very much in transition. He won trophies with them last season. He has improved them since the days of Moyes and VanGaal. There have been some excellent Mourinho teams though the current one needs some work. I think he is getting there but I hope I'm wrong and ManU don't become the real deal. This 'has been' looks like he might finish this season above the media darlings and "today's men" Klopp and Poch. I think you need to hold on a few more seasons to see if he is a yesterday man - I suspect he's not.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Mourinho Fluff his honours list ,it was three seasons ago (as this one is over bar the shouting)since his last EPL title, i could further pull your post to peices, but triggy, why make a mug out of you , his M/U 2 seasons tenure has been a failure , and De Gea goal keeping performances has glossed over those facts, Mou has next season to pull a rabbitt out of a#se, for mine he is a dead man walking , hence his normal behaviour coming out of filthy trap of late, Skull Pepe has his measure, and having such a huge ego, it must be ripping him in two, when he joined M/U with a open cheque book my view was that he would have them winning or at least challenging for the title this season again Skull Pepe has fluffed him, a long range tip, Mou will be lucky to see out next season in full 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all correct and of course theres a very strong argument that says having spent 500m in less than three years Pep bloody well should be walking away with the league. As well as City have played it was entirely to be expected. Don't listen to the City fans getting pissed because they don't think they get the credit. The credit largely goes to the owner for handing over so much money. Mourinho just plays containment football now but unfortunately that doesn't cut it at elite level against elite clubs with top managers. Spurs absolutely cut through United and it was so easy and talk of him being one of the top three managers in the league is utter baloney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about money not being involved? For the umpteenth time, we KNOW we have spent a lot of money but so have many other clubs. This season at City it has been about how Pep has set up the team to play some of the best football the prem has seen and without a shadow of a doubt, he has improved every single player he inherited. I doubt very much any other manager could have done the same. I have conversations about this subject with supporters of many clubs and they all admit that Pep is a great manager...............with the exception of some Spurs fans who are just hung up on the money.

Just like Pep has to get over being so prickly the moment a journalist mentions the money he's spent or his inheritance of arguably the finest since to grace the planet, although one could argue late eighties Milan were as good, but i'm sure you take my point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate. I don't tell porkies. Ronnie's post earlier and several of your posts in the past always focus on the money. Ronnie didn't say "Citeh bought the PL but credit to Pep" Nope, he simply said "Citeh bought the league but he can't buy the CL...."

Of course Pep is a fine manager but to be become a great manger he will have to win trophies with a club that isn't one of the top spenders in the country such as City are and Barce and Munich were ! While he is only winning trophies after spending large money on Transfers and Salaries the jury will always be out ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickG16 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Pogba vs Russia... positive body language, great passing, looking for runners all the time, and of course... the goal. He played in the same position as he has for United recently (when he has played). So why can't he play like this for us recently?
