Jose Mourinho

[matthew.absurdum]

United this season in whole competitions had 3 matches with 0 shots on target. Chelsea had one. Liverpool had one. Leicester had one. Arsenal had one. Tottenham had one.

Liverpool had one？ wow

If he is going to play winks so deep, he needs n dombele and lo celso in midfield. He can't give it to Sissoko amd expect him to do something with it. The other 2 can get it to the forwards. When mourinho forst arrived he said Sissoko can't play CM

I dont usually lower myself to this...

But a big fat I told you so to all those thought jose was the answer.

The actual state of our fanbase.

Liverpool had one？ wow

Against Atletico.

Ok to extend this stats, only City and Southampton in PL didn't have match with 0 shots on target.

I wouldn't have picked Jose as our manager either, but I don't think half a season in is the right time to say "I told you so".

Now that we've gone down this road, I want to see what he can do in the summer window and next season at least before we start thinking about yet another managerial change, especially given his record of success.

Chelsea also struggling against Sheffield United, just saying...

Ssying what?

Ssying what?

That our loss against them might not be as bad as it looked

Who would people realistically want if Mourinho were to be prematurely sacked? He has earned the right to be given more than 6 months and there isn’t a clear alternative that we must get or risk missing out on a la Klopp.

Sheffield's attacking system is just excellent. Our defense should do better against them but they are really the team with momentum.

There's absolutely no comparison between how Chelsea are playing and the shit show we dished up.
There's losing and theres losing.
Same as a 4.4 draw against Bournemouth wouldnt have been the same as the 0.0 draw we got.

They’re a decent team. Have a manager who’s made the team better than their individual players. That’s what good managers do

Exactly, the nil nil draw suggests the teams can defend.

Mauricio Pochettino.

imagine the reaction on here if we'd draw 4 - 4 with Bournemouth

 

[thekneaf]

Mauricio Pochettino.

Poch downed tools

Or that you cant score against a team in the bottom 3 leaking goals against, erm, fkin everyone.
Bournemouth cant defend!!!

United were really frustrating (for their fans) to watch earlier in the season. Bruno and Pogba returning changed all that.

I've been watching a lot of Barca recently and it's the same for them. They just recycle the ball and have a hard time breaking teams down. That's a team with Messi in.

People forget that we lost a huge attacking aspect to our play (Eriksen) and we lost him 18 months ago.
