Mourinho appreciation thread (self.reddevils)

mannahmannahScholes が 投稿

I know there have been multiple player appreciation threads lately, but I felt Mourinho deserved one today. One former player must be excited about today's performance and result: Paul Scholes.

Mourinho "went for it" today. He takes some flack for being too defensive, but today he showed his ability to adapt immediately. He broke from his comfort zone by going three at the back. He made three solid substitutions that all had a positive impact. Mkhi even finished the match at LB. But the best part was that he didn't instruct the team to sit back once Martial had equalized. He went for the win. The team kept Boro pegged back in their own end and you could feel that a winner was coming imminently. I think it's been a while since United have played with that kind of confidence, and it was great to see.

I for one am enjoying the fact that lumping to fellaini and hoping for the best is no longer the plan B.

Mourinho also deserves credit for adapting his tactics to use the squad. I am really enjoying the evolution of the individual players in the squad

Can't believe that was basically our Plan A for a lot of the last two years as well

When Mourinho actually substituted him for mata, it made my new year.

that feel when plan b is to go 3 at the back and overload the fuck out of their box

His substitutions were badass.

Could someone please describe what formation we played in the last 10 min before the goals and after?

Almost like a 1-3-7, with the 7 having free reign to make runs all over. Boro couldn't cope with it. We had so many passes that split defenders and consistently got openings on the wings. It was vintage United.

A lot of fans wanted Pep((I wanted Ancelotti) last season as he was the most logical manager after LVG because they play similar styles of play but I'm so glad we've got Jose. I look at City and I see us last season with slightly better players. Pep at United would of been more of the same under Van Gaal.

Jose understands the league, understands United and knows what the fans want to see. I'm actually buzzing we didn't get my first choice manager because Jose has proved me wrong in every department. Rival fans will say "you're 6th" but I've not seen one fan unhappy with United under Jose.

Pep may have better tactics, but Mourinho's brought back the irreplaceable Manchester United spirit and that to me is worth more than any tactical brilliance

Exactly. That 70,000 vs 11 feeling goes a long way for the players and supporters and you could sense it in the last 15 minutes today.
