SSD Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Makes me smile when we had to play them unknown kids Hughes and Hendrick in midfield because Derby had a massive injury list. Funnily enough they are our two best players of the last 5 years. Amazing what you can do when playing academy players. It’s either sink or swim for the young lads. It’s a risk but managers don’t give them a fair chance. Especially Mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Jose Mourinho has launched a 12-minute defence of his record after Manchester United's Champions League elimination by Sevilla on Tuesday. Mourinho compared his own achievements to United's in the last seven years - since the club last appeared in the Champions League final. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11292412/jose-mourinhos-defence-full-transcript-from-man-utd-manager?utm_source=google.co.uk&utm_medium=referral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Moaninho is yesterday's man. His tactic are out of date. He is dinosaur unable and unwilling to adapt or change. He is stubborn in the fact and false believe he is always right. Football has moved on and I am afraid eventually so will he from Man Utd. Moaninho answer to the current problem, is the players aren't good enough so we need to get rid and buy ever more expensive ones. One more season without winning a major trophy i.e. The Premiership or Champions League. Will lead to enormous pressure from Glazers for change. United cannot sustain their position as one of wealthiest clubs in world without sustained major silverware. At everyone one his previous clubs he as shelf life of maybe two to three years, before troubles begin and he leaves. It appears to be a repeating cycle.

Pearl Ram Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I wish SkySports News would stop indulging him. He’s at the biggest club in the country, being paid a fortune for the privilege but still has a face like a smacked arse. He looks like he’s having a gun pointed to his head in his press conferences. He is dining on past glories in my opinion and as has been pointed out, the United owners are going to want to see success for their investment, particularly if City carry on the way they are. The question is, will his vanity and self indulgence make him jump before he is pushed, or will he hang around for the pay off ? He’s down to his last 50 million by all accounts.

Well that’s okay then. We’d really like to win the champions league, but thanks for bringing us back down to earth and reminding us that the quarter finals is as it good as yet gets for us, any more and we’re punching above our weight. It’s not like we’re manchester United or anything. We should just feel grateful to be sat at the same table as the mighty Sevilla. ...is what I’d be saying if I was a united fan. But I’m not, so I’ll just say, ‘lololololololol’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43431205 He continued on with another rant after the 12-minute rant. Got to admit, I enjoyed it, and thought he made a lot of sense. People who vastly underestimated Sevilla are same ones who doesn't know anything outside the Premier League.

ronnieronalde Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 To be fair to the bloke outside of guardiola (who hasn't exactly been at struggling poor clubs either) Hes at least the second greatest manager of this generation. I'm amazed at how many football geniuses who have won sod all are ready to have a go. He's every right to be arrogant. He's won everything the game has to offer multiple times. Koeman, now there's an arrogant price of garbage with no right to be. Mourinho up against anything but guardiola with a bottomless pit and he wins the league at a canter. He's unfortunate to come up against s freak manager putting together a one off team of pure brilliance. So many experts having a pop at him, put your medals on the table alongside his or shut up.

Just listening the second part, thought he talked more sense about the quality of the opposition than in his first 12 minute rant. Sevilla are no mugs, despite what the press want to portray, any journalist with half a brain should know that. Its not even the equivalent of underestimating Spurs on a good day, as Jose was right to point out Sevilla have won trophies and taken plenty of scalps.

Alph Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I don't think there's shame in losing. It's his reaction. He clearly thinks there's shame there or he wouldn't spend energy trying to distance himself from the defeat would he? Maybe I'm fussy but I like to hear a manager say "we" and talk as if the club is more than just the next job. And yeah Sevilla might be good. But should Man United and Jose The Great with all their spending not be aspiring to beat Sevilla? The guy is a knob. His ego is bigger than Real Madrid and Man United ffs!! All the medals. Well it's a good job he has them because without them he'd be Billy Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure he's the second greatest manager of his generation. Top five no doubt, but there are some other great managers out there. Maybe he is the 2nd best in terms of trophies, I just detest his team's style of play. It would be interesting to see how good Mourinho could be without a bottomless pit. It's a shame he never became the Liverpool manager when it was cited he would before moving to Chelsea. He wouldn't have been as financially backed as he was at Chelsea, it would have been a much greater challenge for him. His record at United this season isn't that bad. They're on for about 84-89 points, which would be good enough to win the title in at least two of the past seven seasons, if not three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
