Would love it absolutely love it if for once the press grew some balls and asked these question
1. Why do you persevere with Matic when he has been woefully out of form
2. Why can Fred not get a consistent of games even when he has played well
3. Why did you play Matic as CB at the weekend despite having a CB on the bench
4. Why does the team still after 3 years not play with any attacking quality and cohesiveness

I hope someone asks are you deliberately sabotaging the club by not trying your best in terms of team selections and coaching? what do you say to those who think you're the real virus at the club? why do you have no self respect and resign when you can see you have lost the players - is money the main driving force behind you wanting to stay?

Expect more negativity and punches against the club as usual. He just started, the busy period will be worse and worse

"We're in a bad place so it'll be tough. I'm amazing though, remember 3... yes 3. I'm amazing... but yes, the players aren't playing well, but it has nothing to do with me... Remember, 3! 1.. 2...3"

etc.

I hope the press really put him under pressure with some hard hitting questions.

"Do you feel you are doing good enough to keep your job" or "you have the worst goal difference for over 40 years, how do you plan on changing this"

or maybe something about why he called Pogba a virus.

Nope it'll probably just be something about him smashing water bottles.

"Jose, how important is a win tomorrow?"

"Jose, what do you think of the job Emery is doing at Arsenal?"

"Jose, will Rooney feature today?"

All boring questions.

"Jose, is your unending petulance in any way related to your inability to achieve full tumescence?" See what past achievements he lists.

We can only hope.

Probably praise Emery to have a dig at our board "He shows what you can do when money is spent" even though he's hardly spent much. Will say we are underdogs tomorrow and it'll be a dream if we can get a point. Will probably have a dig at injured players saying they need to show "how much they want it" in the coming weeks. May also get digs in at Alexis, Rashford, Martial, Bailly, Pogba, Shaw and many more.

I hope he reminds us of how many titles he's won or his qualifying record from CL groups or some other pointless stat that means feck all in 2018 for Manchester United.

Expecting at least 2 of these:

'It's going to be very difficult with 8 defenders injured, but we will try our very best'

'No issue with Paul Pogba, again I repeat we have a player/manager relationship'

'I signed a new contract and I want to see it out'

Begbie will probably throw us all by being upbeat and cheerful.

Jose denied saying we need miracle to finish top 4, just good run of form is enough,

Whining about Everton's spending again but says we can finish above them. Great stuff.

He also sort of disagreed with what Duncan reported.

@sistoney67 Jose insists that time is needed to "improve the globality of the work we are doing" and that "everybody needs to be fully committed to their roles"

Very interesting. Sounds like he's laying down the challenge to the players and the board.

So Arsenal are fresh and rested because they play in Europa and use second team whereas we have to play our full team for CL. In 2016-17 it was how Europa league teams get less time to prepare for games. Never change Jose.

You find that very interesting? You must find Sarah Sanders' 'briefings' equally interesting.

That second quote. :lol:

He's in peace with himself regarding club. I don't understand why he's here anymore. Anyone can see he has given on the club and doesn't care about it anymore since summer.

Ed the idiot should have terminated his contract in summer and entered the season with a new manager, but here we're. We have a fecking manager who isn't even caring much about the results or the club and just wants his pay off to leave, and guss what, we're going to let him complete the fecking season in order not to pay it.

Nightmare.

"Six teams should be in first six position." - what does that even mean? Is there a possible scenario where seven or eight (or conversely, only four or five) teams will end up in the first six positions?

He means that United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea will (or should) be in the first six positions.

Not in order, obviously.

The only problem with that is Spurs shouldn't even be competing with the other top five with the resources they have/had over the last few years, whilst we should be nailed on top four. It just shows the performance of the two managers.
