I genuinely don't think he has ever really had the heart for it. As soon as he can't buy whatever he wants, or things don't go to plan, he throws a paddy and bottles it. I really believe that.

No wonder McNair went to Sunderland.

Was chatting to a friend about this last night (ok, he's a City fan, so IS biased), but we reckon in his couple of months at the club he's manage to piss off Mata, Shaw, Mkhitaryan, Herrera, Schweinsteiger and Lingaard.

[red devil]

I think only Shaw has a good reason to be peed off. Miky and Lingard were both appalling in the derby and rightly subbed at half time. Mata's substitution in the Charity Shield was a time wasting exercise which people read too much in to...some said at the time he would be sold by the transfer deadline. Herrera has a point if indeed he is peed off..played well in opening game when Pogba was suspended, then came on and did well in the derby. Basti is a similar situation to Hart's at City, clearly not fancied by Mourinho but he won't leave for another club in Europe.

I didn't like Mourinho publicly berating Shaw after the Watford defeat. I much prefer Fergie's 'siege mentality' and everything stays in-house. I think you can make similar 'clickbait' cases for most managers 'upsetting' players, goes with the territory of the modern squad game...

I think the Miky thing was because they bought him on the back of a magnificent season playing number 10 for BVB, i assume made promises about him playing the same position at Old Trafford and then playing him out of position to accommodate Rooney. Wasn't he dropped completely from the next match day squad too? Co-incidence perhaps.

[red devil]

From memory he was on the bench for the CS and opening game at Bournemouth, then picked up an injury playing for Armenia during the international break, played his first game in the derby where he was subbed at half time and later found to have aggravated the same injury, and he he's been out injured since.

I read that Miky played on the right side of midfield at BD last season, but if he wants to play at No. 10 I'd give him a go as clearly Rooney isn't cutting it there at the moment. I'm expecting Rooney to be dropped for the Leicester game, about time too...

Fair enough

I really don't understand "your team is shite.." posts. What's the point?

[Alan Medic]

It's a bit of a conversation stopper.

Anyway, I'm really hoping JM tries something else today by dropping Rooney.

[red devil]

Rooney dropped and Mata at No. 10, Herrera in too. Lots of pace with Rash and Lingard, a pity Miky isn't fit enough to start. Pogba still too deep for my liking, should be a good game...

[Alan Medic]

I'm still not sure what Pogba is apart from an athlete.

[Alan Medic]

I'm getting a good idea now though........

[titch juicy]

I guess that's what snapping out of it quickly looks like. Good performance. Big questions to be asked of Leicester's defence though.

[Alan Medic]

West Ham not going well. Is it the stadium or what? Not sure why they sold Tomkins.

[????]

Absolutely terrible and not much to be optimistic about except we're not bottom - I'd give Bilic 5 more games to turn it round. And I wouldn't have BFS back before you ask.

Careful what you wish for. ;-)

[red devil]

5 games is not much Quids, can't you at least stretch out the joviality until Christmas?...

[Mick Mac]

Ooooh. That's harsh Jah.

[Mick Mac]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we will give Man City a good game on Wednesday night.

That means we wont get hammered. Lose by two at the worst, but hopefully give them a scare and maybe sneak something.

[maxxi]

Shite yes but it's early and the triple bogey of injuries stadium and newcomers will work itself out. Still not worried- though will always loathe the stadium - it is crap for football.

Zaza though... and Masuaku...? strange bit of business or are they geniuses in (bloody good) disguise(s)?

[Otta]

I see Quids has been working undercover for the Telegraph.

['bout now]

BFS in "all about me" shocker.

Not even taken his first training session. The very definition of arrogance.

[????]

can we all now point & shout at BFS

"careful what you wish for"

Still, he'll have a 100% record :)

[Alan Medic]

7200 thanks Quids.
