Fellaini has a reputation as a serial thug. Leading with his elbow in a deliberate attempt to hurt opposition players is a trademark of his game. Yet neither of those c**ts mentioned it. Instead, they seized upon the opportunity to slag Demi off when he jumped up too quickly. It was so fucking blatant of them it was embarrassing. You could almost hear the relief in their voices when he jumped up, now they had an excuse to talk about something other than the fact that Fellaini is a thug.
They should have been highlighting and discussing the elbow because it's not the first time, it's not even the second or third, that c**t does this about 5 times a fucking season and nothing is ever said.

He didn't really relate to him as a person but he said he was the most tactically aware manager he'd ever worked with. They didn't do five-a-sides in training, like we seem to do, but focused almost exclusively on the tactical situations they were planning to use in the next game and on nullifying the opponents' strengths. They'd practice these routines ad nauseam.
Does anyone think we prepare to that level?
It's abundantly clear we don't even think about the opposition imo.
I've never seen MP do anything as a proactive measure to counter an opponent's strengths.
MP's approach is clearly one of we've got the 'best players; so we'll outscore you. This is great when the machinery is working and the players are motivated and 'into it' but it's one hell of a risk to be putting yourself in a position where you need to be scoring 2,3,4 goals to win games of football.
Imagine Mourinho with this set of players? I think we'd absolutely walk this league.
true
but it wouldn't be nice and ''holistic''
being ''holistic'' is apparently more important than winning

More like 5 times a game - he always throws an elbow out when he jumps. In truth, he could get a red card every practically game

That was an utter utter disgrace of a performance. Our worst derby performance for 21 years.
These players don't give a fuck and the manager is a fucking joke.
