I see where the press is berating Murinho for publicly shaming Luke Shaw. What's your say?
I am in Murinho's corner because I think he is exactly what the club needs right now to get us back to the top. The argument that he is divisive and turns players away, can be countered with the fact that there are also players who are willing to walk through walls for him. It should be noted that the players that he's taken issues with are the English players - Luke Shaw and Smalling. I think the culture of English players is one of entitlement caused by the English FA's quota rule. When a young English player starts to show some potential, the clubs try to snag them early which then over-inflate their value. Luke Shaw showed a lot of promise when he was at Southhampton and was bought by van Gaal for £30m making him the most expensive teenager in the world at the time. These 18 year old kids are making £20k and upwards per week. They don't have to work too hard to become Top of The World players because they can buy their moms a nice house and their mates cars. A foreign kid coming from South America or Africa, HAS to grow up fast a make it because he has a village to feed back home.
Unless Murinho goes on the field and puts the ball into the net himself, I don't see what else he can do. I'm hearing the argument that he has to change what he's doing, but I've seen him change tactics and players all season to no avail. We are a much better and attractive team this season than under Van Gaal, despite what the stats say. Rashford, Martial and Jesse Lingard were given the chance to show their worth while Zlatan was out and they didn't take it. I'm not saying to get rid of them, but Murinho has a right to race them up. The pundits are saying he shouldn't do it in public, but so what? If these players have the balls they would suck it up and knuckle down to prove him wrong. They are too soft and more concerned with their social media image than to fight for their jobs.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
