Did they though? If you’re resting players, shouldn’t they stay on the bench all match? Instead, at one point they pretty much had their best XI on the pitch. Martial, Pogba and Greenwood were all on before 55 minutes.
I actually don’t know what OGS was trying to do. He was sulking before the match about Chelsea having more rest time. So maybe he was trying to make a point, but then realised “shit, we do actually need to win this.”
Multiple Man Utd players have come out saying the same thing. At what point are they gonna realize that Ferguson wasn’t the issue but instead it was the players small dicking before the match even started?
No wonder these fools crumbled once he went.
Yet when we were a class above Man U the message seemed to be “we’re Manchester United and we’re gonna repeatedly kick them instead of try to beat them fairly”
You can’t play attacking football with a 4-4-2 against Pep’s pressing tica taca. Part of the reason United fell apart was because of Fergies crap acquisitions when it came to young players. He turned down getting Hazard because of agent fees
They wouldn’t have been embarrassed the way they were if they actually believed in themselves. Once Ferguson left it showed that these guys have no character.
Was it Pep’s Barcelona that Mourinho disabled over 2 legs with Inter? I think United had it in them to attempt that. We also beat them by deliberately not having the ball and hoping to counter with any scraps we could get.
There’s no way Anderson and Giggs are lining up again Xavi and Iniesta and going “yeah I’m better than this chump”.
