Mata | Mourinho says it's just a Mata of time

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

And so it begins.
Yes really.
Basically as everyone is saying Ozil is better than Mata, Mata better than Cazorla.
I stood up for De Gea last night...Calling him brilliant!
I am constantly gushing over Januzaj...
For years (check the thread) I have lavished constant praise on Welbeck and said he would one day be our leading striker.
I said Fletcher is a fantastic example to all footballers. Before and after his illness
I have praised Rooney
I have praised RVP
I've stood by Nani unlike a lot of people
Maybe you just have some sort of agenda here against me as you just pick up on the negatives I say...When the negatives I talk about circle around, Moyes, Fellaini Young, Valencia, Ferdinand and our tactics, it shouldn't really surprise you that 95% of the board do the same as there is feck all positive to say about them lately.
If I bother you that much, put me on your ignore list. No skin of my nose. I'll try not to whinge about it
They were but Arsenal were always close. This season Arsenal fans have taken it to a new level.
As Pete says, it's Tottenham first, then whoever is closest second.
You're in a battle for fourth. I remember what they were like.
Your rivalry with Spurs is pathetic and barely existent.
It's only marginally less tame than Fulham - Chelsea.
City are not Arsenal's rivals. They're your competition and after your disaster-feck of a March you'll likely be down scrapping with us plebs or in a mini league of one for 3rd.
I was typing up a post in fb describing De Gea as our next Schmeichel when he made that mistake
Yes our lowest ebb has been your upper echelon for quite some time.
You'll be reacquainted with it soon enough I suspect.
I'm here because it's a good forum, not because I wet myself every night at the prospect of David Moyes' United looming on the horizon.
So you have accounts on several club forums and just decided to post here because it was the best?
Ok.
I was typing up a post in fb describing De Gea as our next Schmeichel when he made that mistake
Stop whinging!!!
It's offensive!!!But yeah, there won't be another Schmeichel but, De Gea will be a world beater and is getting there
Really good idea from you which is surprising.
You are absolutely right. Utds real rivals have won European cups/champions leagues, not little tin pot clubs who can be counted on to bottle it when the buisness end of the season rolls around .
Then feck off....Seriously, I'm a guy in Ireland, posting on the internet, that you don't know and will never meet. Put me on the list. I'm not integral to your daily life
Is there a poster in this thread that isn't on a wum at the moment? I'm feeling positively serious.
Take your Holier than thou shit elsewhere. This is the Mata transfer thread not the 'We are Arsenal, arrogant and intolerable thread'
Insufferable*
Not wound up mate, just pitying the gooners, they have gone eight years without anything to celebrate, we have gone eight months, they are two months away from their annual collapse whilst we are 7 months away from beginning the season where we take our title back from whoever borrows it this season..... And they just don't realise the poor deluded foolsWhy are you falling for such a poor wum?
It sounds suspiciously like the Kagawa situation to me.... "He plays on the left for Japan, so he can do it for us! His stats under Fergie were good, and he played mostly on the left then etc etc etc".
Spending nearly 40 million on the best offensive playmaker in the league, only to play him in his second best position in a style that doesn't even suit him, is just moronic. We play nothing like Chelsea did before Mourinho took over. If we're gonna change our style to something similar as the old Chelsea, then it's an even stronger argument to play Kagawa. Rooney does not fit as an AM in a fluid interchanging front 4. He's a striker. End of story
If we were going to keep playing the same style as we do now, with Rooney as a deep striker, then we ought to sign someone like Ronaldo/Ribery/Bale. Players like Mata/Kagawa/Özil/Iniesta/Silva have no business that setup. Rooney is too sloppy in the playmaking aspects, and our CM is far too static.
As long as we get him, the rest doesn't even Mata.
I think and probably want to see him on the right to begin with. A combination of Kagawa/Januzaj on the left, with Rooney behind RVP and Mata on the right. Obviously they can switch at will but I think he is more than fine performing and creating chances from the inside right channel.
4 months away from sacking Moyes, that's the biggest event on your horizon.
Kagawa playing on the left for us is totally different to Mata. Kagawa has never been proven in the league. It's not the position which has led to Kagawa's problems in my opinion. He's not exactly been anything great while playing as a number 10. He's simply underperformed and hasn't done enough. Doesn't impose himself on games enough too. Think it'll be totally different with Mata and how do you know Moyes isn't going for a slightly different change in style?
As opposed to sticking with a manager who hasn't won a trophy in almost a decade..... Big club? Ok then mate.
Arsenals big guns out in full force of panic at this transfer. Our number 10's better than yours and all that adult stuff. Wengers already been at it crying about how unfair it is, sad to say this train of thought is the underlying weakness, always looking to others strengths and advantages rather than ones own, Wengerites.
You do realise that Arsenal chased Mata before we bought him, and that they also wanted him up until recently?
There's talk of him going to Arsenal earlier in this thread.
Sorry, I have a child's sense of humour.
Boom, boom.
Look at it this way, instead of him playing for them for a few years before leaving to join a bigger and better club we have cut out the middleman, cheers lads
Didn't they stall the deal because they couldn't afford it until Fabregas went?
Supposedly.
How many here think he will start at Stoke away? Feel Cardiff may come too soon.
Weird Im actually looking forward to watching United play Stoke now
So is there any really interesting blogs where I can see the pass completion of Silva, Mata and Cazorla? Feel like I need to be up to date on it. Definitely don't want to murder anybody that compares them all constantly.
I don't.
But if Rooney plays in the center, behind the striker, then nothing changes. We only get a slighly better winger than Kagawa tossed into the mix, but the problems will still be there. That's why I hope with all my heart that Mata(or Kagawa) gets the AM position. It's about time we play an actual AM behind the striker. Just because Rooney is involved in a lot of goals, it doesn't change the fact that our greatest struggle under Moyes has been creativity and creating chances. If we could fix that problem while still having Rooney's(or RVP's) goals, then I'd prefer that. I think it would benefit our entire team. The more chances we manage to create and the more we manage to keep the ball in the attacking third, the more our opponents need to drop back, making it easy for our CMs and defenders to pull off their defensive duties.
Less of the BS ps, your coming across like a jealous wife.
A Wengerism.
