United thread 2017/18

Serious comment: If Fat Sam, had the same finances as Mourinho, he would produce a team which at least matched the current Utd one in pure football terms & they would be better at set pieces.

And somewhere tonight, he will have been sat there, watching that, and telling anyone who would listen.

Fat Samourinho?

Yep, Stoke alike. But they'll bully some teams in the league with that football. Nowhere near enough to win a title though. But they'll get even more hard to beat in time, I'm sure, when they incorporate Matic in the side. Atletico's football is not dying in beauty too but it's effective in stopping others play theirs, they might be similar team and Mourinho is not bad in putting up the tactics for a tie or two in cup competitions. With bit of luck like Guidetti one when they played Celta they can grind some results in the cups.

Yes they will be difficult to beat. But they will draw too many games in the league to be successful. Mourinho wont get lucky again.

Yes but a more sophisticated version.
They now hoof it to midfield as well as hoofing it up tops. Genius tactics

Wait til he develops the more attacking version:

For many, he will always be known for the phrase: Do I not like that.

The ill-fated behind-the-scenes documentary on his England management coloured the popular opinion on Graham Taylor.

Twenty years on and those words of frustration he uttered in a World Cup qualifier in Poland continue to haunt him.

But that is not the Taylor that Ian Ormondroyd remembers. For big Stix, he was an innovator and a football boss ahead of his time.

City’s Capital One Cup semi-final against Aston Villa will be extra special for Ormondroyd, who played for both clubs.

And seeing Villa again will rekindle memories of a time when he was part of their side that finished second in the Premier League.

Taylor was in charge of that 1990 team which ran Liverpool close until running out of steam in the closing weeks.

“He was the best manager I had by a long way,” recalled Ormondroyd. “He was brilliant tactically and so organised.

“Every aspect of his management was spot on and you always knew what you were doing two or three weeks before.

“He was an old school type and such a good motivator. Taylor would keep all the players on their toes because you never knew if he’d take training or even if he’d be there.

“You had to be spot on in training every day to get in the team because he wasn’t afraid to change things round. He was very aware of every little thing.

“If we were second best after 20 minutes of a game, he’d just switch everything. We’d go to three centre halves and wing backs and all of a sudden we’d score a goal.

“A lot of teams nowadays play with a so-called one man up front but we were doing that back then. I played on the left, Tony Daley on the right with Ian Olney or Tony Cascarino in the middle.

“We had two sitting midfield players as well, which was very new. He was ahead of his game.

The crazy gang had charisma, the rags not so much
