Facecloth Posted 23 October 2016 Share Posted 23 October 2016 15 minutes ago, Goober said: He left them as champions... He did leave them with an aging defence though, which would have needed replacing, but it was Moyes choice to let Vidic leave when he'd already lost Evra and Rio. He could have done with the experience in the first year. It was also Moyes choice to barely add to the squad, and only sign Fellieni, and it was his choice to not improve the frontline which was much needed. That being said, he should have been given time. Nobody is going to build their own team in a year or two. Nobody is going to build a legacy like Fergie in 18 months. Moyes should have been given more than 10 months, and Jose is going to need more than that too, especially follow LVG, if anyone left a mess, he did. Half a billion spent to get a massively unbalanced squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a Man U style manager really is he? they need fast attacking style football which is easy on the eye not this utter garbage under cautious Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing to Liverpool and Chelsea away when they look on fire isn't so bad, but yes the hull and United games certainly go down as very poor.

Which yet again irks me how a stupidly low release clause allowed Kante to go for so 'cheap' compared for Pogba being signed for so much in the same summer. Mahrez is worth more than Pogba, the blokes so overrated it's unbelievable, if I were a United fan i'd be so pissed off with the Pogba signing, It might seem like that now but when we signed him The clause was around a 600% mark up of what we signed him for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 23 October 2016 Share Posted 23 October 2016 Conte should've shaken his hand after the fourth goal and walked down the tunnel like Mourinho used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 23 October 2016 Share Posted 23 October 2016 Early days but Pogba not currently being at the height of expectations for his fee. Long range shots going straight to goalkeeper, normal passing and running about seemingly out of ideas in what to do. Kante as many have said is improving, but had a couple of bad passes. Chelsea will be right up there imo. Man Utd, who knows, but will probably be scrapping for 4th at most given this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not our choice what the fee is. Why do so many seem to think the low fee was Purely down to bad business by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted 23 October 2016 Share Posted 23 October 2016 Maybe kante wouldn't have joined without the clause, and let's be honest if he insisted on a clause getting it at £32m was pretty good on our behalf when he cost less than £6m Edit: actually the clause was lower than that wasn't it for CL clubs..

simFox Posted 23 October 2016 Share Posted 23 October 2016 It riles me that we plucked him out of obscurity and he left the first chance he could, for a non CL team at that. But then did he do right? Left at what could be the peak of his exposure with LCFC. For instance, will Vardy regret not leaving now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 24 October 2016 Share Posted 24 October 2016 Are people STILL blaming Fergie for leaving Man Utd with an ageing squad! Look at the managers/money they've been through since. Said it at the start of the season. Mourinho has changed. And for Pogba to be playing like this is inexcusable. Pogba is a sensational footballer in the right team playing in the right way. Mourinho has lost his joi De vivre. His mojo is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 24 October 2016 Share Posted 24 October 2016 Did not want Manu to sack lvg as I knew we could finish above them again this season. But if Jose carries on like this he is going to make that task easier. Growing up I never thought the Liverpool bubble would burst but it did. Now the Manu bubble is truly burst it's showing how hard it is to fix after long time success. I'M hoping we go on a period of no domination now. Some of the big boys really need to learn it is not just about them. We handed one lesson out last season let's hope somebody else can do it this season. Our hands are a little tied at the moment as we have mission Europe. Here's hoping we can hand a few lessons out on foreign soil to. Once the group stage is done we can resume project prem. Let's just piss the big boys off and nick a CL spot from them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
