Mourinho United thread 2016-17

[Sir Didier Drogba]

depay, schwiensteiger and schneidelin are all not good enough for utd (though I think schneidelin could have been a useful squad player), martial of course is and hopefully will have more chances

Andreas pereira scored a wonder goal. http://www.skysports.com/football/n...er-andreas-pereira-scores-stunner-for-granada

I have high hopes on this kid. I hope Mourinho gives him his chance.

Its first United match I watched in ages ... Pogba was solid ... Martial's quality is there he should just become more and I mean much more consistent ... I like Henrik as #10

we have two solid CB due Jones-Rojo and Smalling-Baily.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm told you were really, really good

I'm very satisfied with the football. Only thing is that we are not scoring enough. Hope we can get more goals from Martial and Mkhitaryan.

I can't wait for next season. This season we will probably win one of the domestic cups (or maybe both?). I hope we can reach far in the Europa.

 

[Pogba4Now]

didnt watch but I see that Pogba hit the post again?! This is the 8th time this has happened with him this season. He scored the same amount of goals than he hit the post.

With Shaw getting the cold shoulder, he'll probably be shipped out in the summer. Pretty silly if and it probably will happen.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I even heard him linked with Chelsea... don't know how he'd play as wing back or if United would be willing to sell to us (though it's not like Jose doesn't know abramovic) but of course I would be absolutely delighted to have that talent join

People said the same about Martial and Micky. Look at them now.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

it's been a longer and more public 'freezing' of Shaw, but you're right, who knows. Mata seems to have worked his way back into the Jose good book.

 

[kp41]

I'm just curious what are the most important criteria to be in Jose's good book?

 

[Pogba4Now]

Mental strength.

Luke Shaw omitted from Europa league squad...

If Griezmann joins Man U (would be surprised if he joins but Pogba did so why not?), where should he play?

Right wing or lone striker? Or 4-4-2 like Atletico plays with Martial and Micky on the wings, Griezmann partnering Zlatan up front.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

he's wasted anywhere other than number 10 role

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I would imagine he'd be used like Bayern use Muller. So some kind of 4-4-2, but with Valencia running the whole flank and 2 DMs, you can still have an attacking winger. If I were Mourinho and I was definitely getting Griezmann, that's what I would do.

Attacking winger on the left side I assume? What about the other player? AMF? Right wing?

 

[Pogba4Now]

2 DMs? We have only Carrick as DM and he isn't even a true DM. Pogba shouldn't be wasted playing DM.

Muller plays as a slightly deeper forward. Not really a 10, I guess shadow striker like how Griezmann plays off Torres. If you are having Valencia run the entire flank you would probably put a left winger on the other side, yes, but you could play your defense and midfield more traditional and give the winger freedom to switch and overload vulnerable sides. I just am not always the biggest fan of 4-4-2 or 4-2-4, so that's why I'm not on board with it, but it did work well for Bayern a lot under Pep. Pogba wouldn't get any freedom though.
