Circus ManUnitus - Erik's At The Wheel

Any manager with Smalling and Jones as his centre backs would be doing well to be in top 4, having De Gea helps. Apart from City few recent champions have played attractive football and have relied on grinding out results.

Their defense is tinkle poor and probably why they have to set up so defensively as a unit to give extra protection from in front.

While their defence is poor, I dont think for a second Mourinho would have their set up any different, even with top class defenders.

Not saying it would have been free flowing attacking football as we know that isn't his style but maybe it wouldn't have been quite so agricultural

True but his sides have generally been better on the eye than this current United side, not attractive football but better than this.

It's subjective anyway

Mourinho may have objected to Diego Torres’s biography of him but the passage describing his methods against the better sides was as true of Saturday’s win as it was of the victory over Liverpool that determined the destination of the title last season:

1. The game is won by the team who commit fewer errors.

2. Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition.

3. Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it’s better to encourage their mistakes.

4. Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake.

5. Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake.

6. Whoever has the ball has fear.

7. Whoever does not have it is thereby stronger.

Refs like all humans get it wrong at times ... brick happens (Ashley knows) swallow it (Ashley did) and move on. All part of the game (Ashley found out).
