Thanjk you.

There was a time when I wouldn't have thought he'd be a bad option. The backs to the wall mentality and togetherness he used to instil were in some ways what we needed. Together with a knack of never losing at home, and doing pretty well away from home.
During his first Chelsea run and at Inter I thought he was decent. But since he left Inter he seems to have been on a slide career wise. I think people have sussed his methods out.
His teams are boring too. He used to know how to win, but now he just seems preoccupied with fighting battles.
He's such a miserable ******* too. He looks like he absolutely hates what he does. You literally never see him smile, that has to affect morale seeing his miserable face every day.
No doubt Wazza or someone will be trotted out in front of the media to talk about what an influence he is, until then we can all sit back and watch as he desperately throws people under the bus.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s lack of mobility and Jose Mourinho’s ego are the main reasons for Manchester United’s current struggles, according to a World Cup winning striker.
United put in a below-par display in a 3-1 defeat at Watford on Sunday – a performance which we heavily criticised Paul Pogba and Wayne Rooney – with the club now having lost three successive matches to trail leaders Manchester City by six points.
Amid claims that Mourinho has angered his players by publicly criticising them, Christophe Dugarry – who played in the Premier League for Birmingham and won the World Cup with France in 1998, has pinpointed the reasons for their struggles.
And Ibrahimovic, who has scored four goals in his five games in the Premier League since his summer move from Paris Saint-Germain, was the main source of Dugarry’s criticisms and believes the Swede does more harm than good to United’s style.
“Ibra is a cone. People talk about his stats… but he’s a cone,” Dugarry said on his RMC radio show. “When you see Zlatan’s matches, it’s not possible to do that. It’s English football, it goes at 2,000 kilometres an hour.”
Jose Mourinho: Three straight defeats
Ibrahimovic was not the only one to be criticised by Dugarry as he also took aim at Mourinho, who had started his Old Trafford reign with three consecutive league wins before his team’s form dipped.
“I get the feeling Mourinho’s last tactical success was that Champions League game between Inter Milan and Barcelona,” Dugarry said, referring to Inter’s 2009-10 Champions League semifinal triumph.
“He’s won titles since, but I think he’s lost the plot. He believes he has become more important than the team. Tactically, I think he doesn’t put anything in place. Apart from the players, who have changed, it’s the same organisation as last season under Van Gaal.
“He always blames the referee or their opponents’ good fortune. There is no self-criticism.”
