We can't do that sitting back shit any more. Every time we get fecked over.
Dirty, negative football
- Thread starter Brwned
- Start date
I don't care about the dirty, it's the constant negativity I have an issue with.
José, why.....
I've backed Jose all season.
That was an utter fecking mess though.
My heart is on its arse

I love Jose, but that was pathetic.
Agreed. Would any other major club play so defensively against a minnow? I understand it's a result-orientated business, but can you imagine a Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, etc. (or anyone else supposed to play exciting football) playing in this manner?
Spot on. And it's not as if it's the first time it's happened this season. It's pretty much Groundhog Day at Old Trafford. What will it take for Mourinho to change his approach?
Desrved to lose that. Thank God that guy is shit
Had we lost tonight I would have back the board to sack him. Utterly pathetic and I'm a huge Jose fan. That is not the way we play. Sort it out.
I am a huge Jose fan and I can see why he does what he does. It's a hallmark of his Chelsea sides to see out wins.
But surely even he can see that this isn't working at United. Our players simply arent up for it.

Mourinho is one lucky fecker. Genius tactics from him. We won thanks to his beautiful insight of sitting back, conceding chances and hope they don't score two of them.
It cannot be the same next season. It just can't. I and many others have defended Jose for his first season, but if he is doing this next season he deserves a lot of flak.
We play good football, okay? Just believe me.Our last three rounds have been 1 goal marginal wins against Celta Vigo, Anderlecht and FK Rostov
Very poor end to the game. No professionalism at all, shitting themselves against a bottom half La Liga team. The team were not helped by the former Villareal player of course.
First of all I'm buzzing to be through to a final but there are a lot negatives.
For a team that cost god knows how many million, playing at home to a mid table Spanish team why do we let the opposition dictate how we play? We always try and counter the other team, we should be making them counter us ffs. Full backs not pushing on, bringing on defence minded players and packing the midfield....I mean fecking hell.

This cannot be football, can it?
To think some thought we were playing well! We should be out. Thank the lord.
This. He has it backwards. He plays as if we are west Brom at Madrid sitting back
I'm a fan of Mourinho as a manager but his stubbornness and defensive mindset in these games have cost us a lot. This should've been a stroll in the park. He needs to improve next season.
Imagine next season the same shit but with more expensive players Mourinho knows how to kill the joy of football like LVG but in a very totally different way.

I understand having to grind out wins. I understand that it's Jose and that's what he does.
But my God, Celta Vigo at home and we're sitting back and inviting pressure when we could just go and get another goal and ensure a victory? Our style of play is still pretty bad, I can't imagine how poor it would be without Pogba.

Thing is, we did play good football earlier on in the season imo. What the feck happened?
How many times this season have we drawn after being ahead?
Tactically inept. I blame the manager.
Awful negative football.
I've understood these tactics in certain games given the circumstances but today wasn't good enough. It wasn't even the tactics, Celta just looked like they wanted it much more than we did.
Pathetic stuff. The only time we've looked good in the knockouts was when we were chasing the game against Anderlecht.
I'm sick to death of us sitting back and trying to hold a single goal lead for the last 30minutes of a game. Mourinho needs to grow some balls. He's becoming more like Van Gaal with every game.
I'm thrilled that we've made it to the final, but we really don't deserve it at all.

We could not finish for shit
It'll happen. The only difference is we might become more effective at said tactics due to the new players bought. I highly doubt we'll play good football in games like this under José.Imagine next season the same shit but with more expensive players
I really can't stand that mentality. Its nervy but you'd almost take that if we see the games out, but we can't. Its happened too many times now.
I'm really hoping that next season its different. A solid partner for Bailly and a more clinical attack would make us so much more comfortable.

I don't have anything positive to say about Jose tonight
Shit on a stick.
I can understand playing like that when away from home and facing a tougher opponent. I cannot say I am looking forward to next season. Mourinho will never change, crazy to expect him so.
José got bored of it!
He better get a grip next season. Pathetic displays at the moment and I don't care about his injuries and scheduling excuses. We look hopeless.
What was negative about tonight? Celta are a good footballing side. This is becoming the new zombie thread.
I can't even be bothered ranting fully, but feck me we were lucky, particularly at the end. Shite shite football, and to think we basically threw the Arsenal game to then set up the team like we did today. Pisses me off.
It's sad that after reaching a final, I'm not even happy.
