I thought Jose said Rooney wasn't a midfielder or even a number 10 so why the F**k is he playing him there? I always said Jose was wrong and Blanc would have been a better fit but the board wanted a big name again and Blanc nor Simone were the name they wanted.

He said he wouldn't play as a no 6 or 8. That he sees him as a no. 9 or 10. Read up that whole interview

He looks more like a 14 or a 15 nowadays.

Lots of banter missed calls and texts to me for the past 3 hours. My Facebook is buzzing right now. God, I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. A lot of my work mates are fans of either liverpool or city.

That's the best thing about not having 'unsocial' media accounts.
When you walk away from people, you ACTUALLY walk away from them :)
 
So, according to Mourinho, we've been losing because: bad refereeing decisions, bad luck and individual mistakes. That's like saying: "Hey, i got my tactics and my match selections right, but the referees and the players blew it."

God, i hate his post match interviews.

TBH he's partly right. He played the formation/team most people wanted. But for me it comes back to Fellaini and Rooney in the roles they played in CM which Mou has to take the blame for. What do you expect him to say when players are over hitting simple passes or not following there runners etc.

I have to disagree with you here. He bought a 100 million player to put him in a position where he's utterly unconfortable playing. Then, he choses a dull midfield with Fellaini and Rooney, and left players who can actually pass the ball forward, like Schneiderlin, Carrick, Herrera and Mata out. The team is over hitting simple passes because of Mourinho's choice to not have actual passers in the pitch.

It is not about his tactical choices, tho. I didn't expected him to get it right this early, as competent as Mourinho is. Just ****** me off seeing him always try to dodge the bullet. Furthermore, he looks delusional saying we didn't deserve the losses against Man City and Feyernoord, we we're *****. And mostly because he got it wrong at the derby.

It's too early to start burning players by saying they are not coping with the pressure.

What do you mean about Pogba he has played were he did at Juve in a 3 man CM the last 2 matches which is what we were all screaming out for. Like I said in my previous post the Fellaini and Rooney thing is completely on him! He hasn't tried dodging the bullet in interviews with other media especially on MUTV he has taken part of the blame which he is right to do. I for one am glad he's not happy with the players! Yeah we deserved to lose against City the better team but not in the manner we lost in the way the decisions went. We were **** against Feyernoord but still the better chances created draw would of been fair.

The midfield dilemma. This was just like Aaron Ramsey for the past 2 seasons. Being a box to box midfielder, he's most effective getting into the opposing box in a 3 man central midfield. But then you'd have to drop Ozil or leave yourself super exposed on the counter so we played him out. The difference is that Ozil>Rooney. Therefore Rooney must be dropped.

Wich match we started with 3 CM's other than Feyernoord? I honestly don't recall. And i think Pogba had a good match, considering that 5 players had their first start in the season.

I agree with Feyernoord. A 0-0 draw would've been more fitting.
