Jose Mourinho lacking tact? Why I never.

I almost forgot he did the very same thing three seasons ago.
Fan ignores the very obvious point he was injured to bash Jose? Why I never.

BBC haven't even mentioned it by the way. Pretty sure this is BT Sports, like Pogue, just assuming he hooked him off.

This thread is batshit crazy but at least I've got something to distract me from the game.

Definitely injured. Noticed it a few minutes before he came off, he kept touching his knee. Probably didn't warm up properly.

Might have been injured but my initial impression was that he was subbed for some other reason.

Walking straight down the tunnel doesn't mean much as that's exactly what a lot of players would do in response to being subbed on and off again.

I’ll take it all back if he is but he didn’t go down, wasn’t limping and didn’t signal to the bench. Be weird if Mourinho somehow knew he was injured while nobody watching could work it out.
He was limping around the pitch and reached for his leg several times.

As soon as he came on he did look to be struggling with a knock. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s the way it looked to me. If not Jose is out of order.

Weird thread, just seems a way to have a go at Mourinho while we're losing.

Nope. Mourinho threw a strop when Eriksen played Son through (presumably because Fellaini was sent on to man mark him) then immediately gave him the hook. Waste of a sub. Harmed the team with a display of pure ego. So fecking annoying.
Harmed the team? We played wank before and just as wank afterwards

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
Fellaini may have got a knock but he was trying to run it off. He was also furious when he was taken off. I won't contest that Fellaini was bad, but subbing him off with so little time on the pitch with everyone having a stinker was a bit too much. Moreover, Rashford was ready to go and he won't have come on. On the balance of things, it's a dick move although Fellaini wasn't playing well at all.

Think they’re confused at how you’ve managed to fit Pogue in with all those eggs stuck up there.
Well it's true. Pogue is an excellent poster so calling him an oaf is fecking silly.

The whole thing is a complete wreck. I feel sorry, i honestly am for some players. Like Martial, he worked hard, found a place and role for him. And? The guy to put bluntly is just tossed aside for a new shiny toy. No, sure i agree Sanchez is a big player. But the way is was done does suck. And it has not done a team any favours.

This exact situation might be an unlucky injury, but the fact is his whole man-management is all over the place.
