    And here he is, the after fact man.
    Not willing to put himself out there.
    You’re like a really poor pundit WUM.
    No ideas of your own, you wait for the dust to settle and then crawl out of the woodwork.

    Wonder where you would be if we had lost?

    At least my first post was admitting I was wrong.

    Crawl back under your rock
    Crumbs, what a miserable sod. I was having a bit of fun.

    Try at least to hide your disappointment at our victory. My opinions are public for all to see and I merely questioned the assumption that the match was a forgone conclusion (correctly, as it happens).

    And you didn’t obviously see my first post in the post match thread, you just decided to jump all over our convo.

    At least I made a prediction, and I was wrong.

    The fact that you don’t seem to have even made a call about the game in our convo sums you up. You obviously didn’t have much confidence in us winning or you would have said and then you could of posted our convo as a “told you so” moment.

    Like I said, you’re a WUM who feeds off lurking about looking for people who got it wrong.

    Put yourself out there sometimes, you might enjoy it ;)
     
    It's always the one we aren't playing that will work, isn't it?

    Yes, cause until the time i commented in that way our first half tactics were not good, but in the second half Jose' changed them and we played so much better.

    So i was right with my comment.

    That is rubbish. I was having a bit of fun. You quoted me initially and I hadn't even seen your post. But regardless you were wrong and I was not, I even cited examples of where we had won, despite popular opinions of the outcome being a loss, and yet again this match proved an example of that. You can call me a WUM but I provided rationale as to why the match was not a forgone concluison. You seem to be taking it badly. Personally, if I predict that we will lose and we don't lose I hold my hands up and am happy. I don't go into meltdown like you have done.

    Do you always deal in extremes?
    Is everything a drama in your house?
    Meltdown?
    Behave yourself, you took great joy in trying to take the piss.
    My first post in the post match thread was me saying I hold my hands up and I was wrong.

    Get over yourself.

    More pot calling kettle black from a user who chose a very apt name. You're the one going to extremes labelling me a wum and all sorts of nonsense. Having a fit because someone called you out lightheartedly. Enjoy the victory. Or not as the case may be.

    Having a fit?
    Again, extremes?
    What’s wrong with you?
    Having a fit......
    Seriously? Is there something wrong with you?
    I could just label you smug. Would that a fair assessment?
    You are a WUM, there is no debate about that, as you quoted our convo. Did you not expect an answer? You deliberately tried to wind me up.
    That makes you a WUM.
    Except you think I’m apparently having a “meltdown” and “having a fit”

    If it fits your agenda then please push away. Maybe, just, maybe you realise you’re actually not winding me up and you feel the need to manufacture a situation.

    Will that make you feel better?

    Another embarrassing meltdown. Call it a day mate and enjoy the victory.

    So i was right with my comment.
    It was the same tactics in both halves, Mourinho acknowledged the players took some time adapting to it.
     
    If I annoy you then you need to lighten up. If you can't do that, then put me on ignore. This forum has an ignore function for situations like this.

    Have a nice day.
    Again, presuming you’re having an effect on me?
    You’re an obvious WUM.
    That’s all there is to it.
    And a poor one at that.

    So let’s leave it there and we can both enjoy today’s victory.
    Unless you want to have the last word of course?

    Or, I’ve got a better solution, we can both agree that perceiving how someone is acting/feeling over a forum chat is quite silly.

    It’s up to you.
    Getting bored of the tit for tat thing.

    Are you quite finished? Getting bored yet you still respond. You think perceiving how someone acts on a forum is silly yet you repeatedly call me a WUM. Full of contradictions. As I said, the ignore function is there for a reason. Perhaps I'll take my own advice and use it on you as your rantings are getting tiresome.

    Regurgitating the same thing over and over and over.
    Please, ignore, block, banish whatever it is you want to do.

    WUM.

    Well gorbster old chum, it's been a pleasure. We won. Good day for our club. At least we can agree on that before we part ways.
     
    Chelsea, more often than not, don't play a three so we wouldn't be matching them up.

    Also, when we played them away, we played a midfield two of Matic and Herrera as the double pivot.

    I want to add that I'm assuming Jose plays with three at the back.
    dont matter. It will be 3 in the engine. Pogs attacking and 2 holding Matic and one more...

    This is most likely what I’d of replied maybe a bit more

    As you seen he did play 3 in the middle and 3 up top. After Pogba causing problems about nothing or being the main man or us buying Sanchez. Whatever it was he will not play in a midfield 2 until he cops on. He is incapable... no, that’s the wrong word, unwilling to accept thst he must be disciplined and do what’s right by the team. The spurs game done it for him. He knows he was crap and while he was not alone he just gave up and for a confidence player such as him it’s a blow. It’s all about how he picks himself up now!

    Anyhow the point is, 3 in the middle was the only way to fit him in. Because in a midfield 2 he’s on the bench! For now anyway who knows he might play himself into the reckoning if he “cops on” like I said. Who knows he might! He has the talent if he has the heart

    There's no point arguing the case with you when Mourinho has already done it.

    Also, if we want to be technical, it wasn't a midfield three yesterday. It was actually still a double pivot, with Matic and McTominay at the base, and Pogba and Sanchez above them.

    After the game, Mourinho confirmed by referring to it as the 'midfield square'.

    Having said all of that, I do agree that if we see Pogba, it needs to be in a three, otherwise, don't play him.
