PS: sorry for the walls of text. I've been away from the Caf for the last few days and just now responded to quotes.

Yep, and imagine if Sanchez instead was tearing it up for Man City right now. Hell, I might even have joined the "Mourinho Out" crusade after that. :lol:

I really doubt they don't do it more often. I think he's highlighting a specific issue they targeted prior to the game, and how the team didn't at all do what they trained to do. It just doesn't make sense to me that he'd only now realize the team is struggling offensively and finally do...

True, but only this year. At the beginning of the season everyone was talking about a two-horse race between Man City and United, and United were winning all of their CL Group Stage matches. The reason I'm still supporting Mourinho is because I think he will get United at least one of those...

Haha, you're right that would be ridiculous. :lol: But I really, really doubt that's what he's saying. He's saying, "we specifically targeted this aspect of our game and how to respond the last two days, and the players didn't do at all what they were supposed to."

It's not the first time we've seen that reaction though is it (afraid of playing the ball on the ground)? So is that a consequence of tactics somehow if it's happened in games where United had all of their attacking players on the pitch? It sounds more like an excuse to me ("the players play...

Well, then that looks bad on Mourinho, to be fair. Maybe he re-watched the Sevilla game and was already feeling upset about the lack of character his players showed. He's definitely not without blame, and does say some things that are harsh or out of bounds at times.

He's lying I guess. You're not the first one to have Mourinho's direct quotes show how little you know about what's actually happening with the team or in practice.

Ah, imitating "shitty fan" triggered you, I see. Dumb rage isn't a good look. Your "cowardly negative football" defense shows you either know sh*t about football or what's happened this season. I don't think you know the meaning of "park the bus." I think you need something like Liverpool's...

Hmm, but I said he defended the players after the Sevilla loss, so your quote doesn't contradict what I said. You're pointing out that he called them out after the Brighton match, and I already explained why: the mentality some players displayed in that match, and their lack of response to the...

Where did he say it? I'd like to watch the interview.

Where did he say that? It wasn't in the post-match press conference or BTSports post-match interview (or MUTV interview).

Yes. He did. Post-match interview and press conference after Sevilla: Mind you, that's immediately after a very hard loss to take (some players were reportedly crying in the locker room), and facing questions from a combative and antagonistic media. I've no doubt his mood soured prior to...

I agree with all of this. I want a win above everything else, and want to win in entertaining fashion whenever possible. What I've seen from Mourinho over the last two seasons is a belief that this current squad isn't capable of doing both simultaneously and consistently, so he chooses what...

We were set up to attack Sevilla, and did so for the first ten minutes with interlinking play. That's when Lukaku's best two chances in the first half took place. But because United failed to convert either of them, Sevilla were able to gain a foothold in the game and grow in confidence, and...
