Thanjk you.
Paul.S
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.
His biggest problem now seems to be player relationships when it used to be one of strengths - siege mentality, etc.
That said when there are bad results it is easier to lose the players - it's just he's always been fairly successful.
He's pretty static certainly not mobile. But i don't think he's the main concern playing wise. That would be their central midfield and not a settled defence - without some understanding in those areas you're going to have problems.
It will be interesting to see what team Jose puts out. He's should be able to put a strong XI out but he can't do it and please all the ego's. If he benched Rooney and played Pogba in his place, gets someone to anchor the midfield and ****s Fellaini off completely he'll have an OK XI with Rashford doing Zlatans running.
It's just that he will end up with a massively unhappy squad if he makes the tough decisions all the while the pressure on the guys he puts in to perform increases. They are really suffering from that 3 game pre-season not enough effort has gone in to formation and tactics.
Funny, I was thinking that earlier. Imagine Ferguson was drafted back with enough time to turn their season around or given an 18 month contract and wins them the league.
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?
Let's say it all blows up and ends in tears for Mourinho - where do United turn then? Who could they possibly appoint?
Like has been said, Koeman or Pochettino maybe but United is a different animal to what they are used to, the pressures and the ego's around the place both on and off field.
I'm not sure Pochettino would jump at the chance to be honest, he'd have to school Pogba and cut Rooney, Zlatan and Fellaini almost in one go.
