He's spent a fortune so he's the reason their there being our strikers and not better players.

Well for that game every player that was "at fault" was actually not brought in under Mourinho and/or was an academy player.

Marital - LVG
Lingard - Academy
Rashford - Academy

Lukaku actually had a great game. Had Martial and Lingard scored he (Lukaku) would have been responsible for both assists.

Firstly Lukaku played some very good passes and had a good game but he also missed a very good opportunity in the first half due to his poor control. Also, you really mean to tell me Lukaku was the best option at £75m? Secondly, fact is he had a shed load of money to spend over 2 summers is that really the best excuse that can be given concerning those guys? Look at what Pep did with his budget.

From Player of the Year to sold to Japan in a matter of weeks. It’s a great financial move for Corinthians, but he was a killer for them last year.



CAM fans are heated on Twitter right now :laff:

As long as Cruzeiro’s not depending on Fred to be “the man” and carry the load that’s a solid pick up bringing him back. He was top 5 in goals last year and top 10 in assists, he still has something left in the tank.

Lol @ making excuses for Mourinho.
This

They don't have an Aguero or Silva but Klopp and Pep would both have players like Rashford, Lukaku, Martial, Pogba, Miki and Mata all playing as a coherent, fluid attacking unit. Mou looks like he spends 80% of the training session focusing on defense. All his attackers and attacking midfield look like they're never on the same page.
Have your wingers play as fullbacks brehs.

Not related to soccer, but I’m watching a Manchester United replay on ESPN3 and I see that Chevy is their main sponsor.

Are there chevys in London? :patrice:

Nah

None in Manchester either

Is there anyway I can follow African & Caribbean leagues?

It's practically impossible to see any African league games if you're in the west. None of them really broadcast outside of Africa. I looked very hard. :francis:


I know Bein Sports has the CAF Champions League, though. That's your best bet of seeing African clubs in action.

How much did Madrid fukk up by not going extra hard for Mbappe though?
Ronaldo been falling off sing 2015, but he's not even a top 7 forward this season. Benzema can't score if he was the only cac on an island full of Zoe Saldanas and christelyn karazins and Bale is just a glass version of Mohamed Salah. Heading into the world cup, there's not balloon d'or level talented forward available. Dybala isn't world class and I doubt he's gonna shine at the world cup for uncle Flo to notice. Hazard is not young enough for them(I lowkey want him to go to Barca instead). Dembele already been snatched. There is really nobody available that is even close to Ronaldo that will carry the torched. Take into account Modric is getting up there and Kroos has always been good, not World Class and even he's not been lighting it up this season. Laliga teams have also found out Zidane's 442 formation. Not looking too good.

Merry Christmas puccies :birdman:
