truth be told. Its early days in the season and this team is a work in progress. It will take them time to fully implement Mourinho"s defensive and attacking ideas


Why will it take them time when Guardiola needed no time? I've asked this question a couple of times already and I just want an answer that makes sense; from anyone.
I fully support Mourinho and wanted him here. I think he'll win trophies with us.
But what are the reasons he needs time to "settle" and the players need time to get used to him and his ways, when Guardiola and City didn't need that?
Is it because Guardiola is better than Mourinho? Is it simply because someone like Fernandinho is so much better than Fellaini, or De Bruyne is so much better than Rooney, for example? Can two of their players being so much better than ours in the same positions really mean that the whole team plays so much better, with a plan, with a purpose?
It's not simply form, is it? City aren't just playing good football, they're playing good Guardiola football and it's only mid-September.
So why has he been able to drill it into them without any time needed, while Mourinho needs time?
I genuinely don't mean this as anything against Mourinho, I just don't believe in the whole "things happen" bullshit, there's a reason for everything and when you're trying to be the best, excuses shouldn't be part of the plan.

Do you wanna tell him or shall I. ;)
 
To be fair though, their striker was offside in the build up so it really should have been a draw.
I thought United played much better tonight, they kept the ball on the floor a lot more. Pressed as a team and defended well.
A draw would have been a decent result away from home especially when you think most of the big names werent playing tonight and rashford didn't have enough time to make an impact. Martial and rashford need to start games. Big mistake from Maureen not starting with them along with chris "Bobby moore" smalling, Pogba and ibrahimofish.
The special one my arse.

I'm actually getting worried for wee Paul. He's been missing since last friday night. Should we organise a search party for him?

Peripheral? I had a peripheral printer once, It worked some of the time. I don't think peripheral is the right word. Typical BBC. #agenda.
 
He will settle in time, probably. He's a great player. Then again, so is Dia Maria and look how that turned out.

And though he's good, no way is he worth almost £90 million.
