Sorry it wasn't aimed at you.
Getting annoyed with how the first leg is so conveniently left out. It was two shit jobs vs a team with inferior players in most positions. Remember that de Gea saved our behinds in what has been described as an impossible save. Mourinho covering his own back as usualSo on the basis of that tie, he's not up to the job? That seems to be the popular opinion now. I'm not sure if it helps the team at all for him to come out crying and saying he did a shite job against Sevilla.
SAF's hubris was directly responsible for the advent of the Glazers' ownership of the club in the first place. He knocked himself off his own perch in the end.Sorry but we as fans should also be able to discuss some of the stuff Fergie did during his last years. He's the GOAT but he's also human and did many mistakes and he should be discussed.
Not replacing Ronaldo, Scholes set us back a decade there is no questions about it. That he let the Glazers pocket the Ronaldo money is unforgivable. That's the reason why Real and Barca are still fighting for CL wins and why we aren't.
You and Mourinho are arguing about things completely irrelevant to what is being discussed.This is spot on.
Moyes fecked up big time - so when LvG came in he had a big job to pick the club back up again, but he made it just worse. So, obviously, the next guy is going to have a hell of a time getting things right when the process of rebuilding the club has been restarted several times.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Skills, if we had beaten Sevilla would you want him out?Getting annoyed with how the first leg is so conveniently left out.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I mean who have been our better players this season. Probably De Gea, Valencia, Young, Martial and Mata. I would add Lukaku to that as well. All of them except Lukaku were signed before Jose. Grasping at straws again.DDG, Smalling, Valencia, Mata, Young, Carrick - and Martial's been here as long as Sterling's been there. We've got "heritage" too.
Yeah, Pep's fundament was better, but the difference isn't that huge. City had to invest a fortune in keepers and full backs, Mourinho's inherited quality at rb and the world's greatest in goal. Valencia is getting older, but isn't declining yet. Young just had the league's best player in his pocket. I'm not going to pretend that Otamendi is all that, but obviously Silva, Aguero and KDB gave him a superior attacking base to build on. Still, we lost to Sevilla, not City, so those excuses are hollow.And the difference in age/quality between those two lists speaks volumes. Carrick’s finished, Young and Valencia are in decline and only DDG (and arguably Mata) has been an unequivocal success out of the rest of them (under any manager).
No Pogba, Mhiki, Lindelof and Sanchez are his signings and are a big part of the problem.Bravo Jose for telling it like it is. Something a big part of our fanbase can't seem to understand.
He didn't inherite anything close to those players, our best players are those he bought and brought here. The expectations are not close to reality.
Fergie's last years in the market were a disaster, didn't replace Ronaldo, Moyes was a disaster in the market so was Van Gaal, basically it set us back a decade.
Based on your logic:I'm getting fed up with this. If we are so shit why doesn't he feck off to PSG.
Absolutely this. Yes, the Sevilla shitshow was poor - poor by both the manager and the players. However, please, have some context and move on - there's a QF in the FA Cup waiting tomorrowI'll ask you the same question I asked Skills, if we had beaten Sevilla would you want him out?
I'm definitely still pro Mourinho, but I think the tie against Sevilla was the poorest show the team has managed under Jose. Terrible. However, that one tie does not change my opinion and make me think we need to get rid because he's not up to the job. And I agree with him in bringing up the context of recent years, results and player acquisitions. It doesn't excuse the performances against Sevilla, but looking at things overall, it has a lot of weight.
He didn't.The more you listen to him the more you start to think that he clearly prioritised the Liverpool game. Whatever happened to fighting on all fronts?
Because believe it or not most of have been following the club long before he took over, and will continue to do so long after he leaves.Based on your logic:
If we are so shit why don't you feck off and support City?
You tell him Col.Based on your logic:
If we are so shit why don't you feck off and support City?
Lol, that comparison surely helps Jose's point, no?DDG, Smalling, Valencia, Mata, Young, Carrick - and Martial's been here as long as Sterling's been there. We've got "heritage" too.
If that excuse was a horse it would be the lamest of lame horses.The more you listen to him the more you start to think that he clearly prioritised the Liverpool game. Whatever happened to fighting on all fronts?
I'm fed up with him running the team down to make himself look better.He like I, don't quite understand what you're going on about.
He didn't. His tactics/ team selection over 2 legs were howlers. He screwed up. He can say all he wants about how Utd were not a top club in last 5-6 years, but all that had no influence on how we played against Sevilla.The more you listen to him the more you start to think that he clearly prioritised the Liverpool game. Whatever happened to fighting on all fronts?
Ha ha, wrong. Still going. No idea wtf he’s going on about.I bet it will be 2 minutes long.

I wonder does Jose ever feel ashamed?The players were sad. I wonder if footballers ever feel ashamed?
The players weren’t more than capable...No amount of spin can make up for the fact the team he currently has was more than capable of easily winning on Tuesday. Not sure why he can’t just own up to that.
I personally think we have a solid team/squad. Easily good enough to have been capable of going through to next round. We had an easy route right through to the last 16.I have to agree with most of what Mourinho's saying, or trying to say at least. You've got to look at the bigger picture. Yes, we were shit against Sevilla. Twice. But we've been shit ever since Ferguson left. We've too many average players. I think the players he's bought have improved us more than any of the buys his predecessors made. We're generally playing better football than we were with Moyes and Van Gaal in charge. We're scoring more goals, getting more points and winning more trophies. Of course we're not where we want to be yet but at least we're on the up again. Moyes didn't achieve that. Van Gaal couldn't either. Jose has. Of course we should have beaten Sevilla. Of course our tactics were off with Rashford playing on the wrong flank and Mata being left out. Jose's got it wrong and a lot of our players didn't turn up. They're all at fault fur us being out of the CL but that doesn't mean the club isn't moving in the right direction as a whole. Let's just move on.
If the criticism of him had been measured, maybe it would have been different, but he was being written off as a has-been in the media. I wouldn't want him to say "yes it's true, I'm a shite manager and I don't know what I'm doing anymore". But I agree with you, terrible tie, but we move on.Just accept it was a bad performance and move on. This United team should have beaten Sevilla over 2 legs despite so called heritage. The whole point of the press conference was not wanting to accept the blame.
That isn't my logic. I'm not slagging the clubs history off to make myself look better.Based on your logic:
If we are so shit why don't you feck off and support City?
Reminds me of my assignments in college. When I prepare well to write it, it is short and precise.Ha ha, wrong. Still going. No idea wtf he’s going on about.
Doubt it.I wonder does Jose ever feel ashamed?
