When he got sent off and then started shaking hands with everybody, I thought, "Yes...this is the guy who we hired. Jose is finally behaving like Jose, the serial winner!"
Some of our fans are so far up Mourinho's behind it's almost fascinating. Confirmation bias at its worst. Getting sent off unnecessarily? "Brilliant, what a winner, did it on purpose."Rashford's position in the 2nd half was as a 2nd left back. With 5 across the back and 3 central midfielders that's not necessary. It's possible to win without getting it right which is what I feel happened today. They defended very well.
Not out of choice, that's the point. We couldn't get out and as such Rashford spent much of the second half chasing their wingback. We could've brought Martial on but then we would still be without the ball only their right wingback would be completely unmarked.
Exactly. Today sending him off was a joke. Absolute joke. Yet people say FA favour us
Travesty, I say.
What would be embarrassing? He was leaving so may not be able to give proper farewell to other team when the game ends. It's not like he decided the game had been won and he just want to go back to dressing room before final whistle. He's taking a piss at the officials by doing his round of handshake which is great to see.
Our attackers were having a very ugly day so naturally he reverted to defending. Bar his decision not to get Martial on for Rashford, Mourinho's tactics were very good today. Saints had 1 clear chance maybe for 90 minutes.
Our attackers were having a hard time because we had no control in midfield, Herrera should have been on at half time and then we wouldn't have ended up basically sitting with 9 back for nearly 15 minutes.
Herrera was shite when he came on though, he wouldn't have changed anything sorry.
No he wasn't and he was thrown in at the point where we had regressed so far it was hard to get back, reverting to a 9 man defense didn't help at all, it just added to the pressure, if Herrera had came on at half time the 3 man midfield would have closed the space Lemina and Davis were running free in.
That's just guessing and trying to find an excuse for a player who had a bad game.
I'm not excusing anyone, I don't think Herrera had a bad game, but it took him 10 minutes to settle into it, however had we started out with more coverage in midfield in the second half instead of our erratic #10, we wouldn't have logically conceded as much space to their midfield as we did, it was clear Lemina and Davis were a threat and we didn't counter it until after they'd gained full control of the game..
Oh for goodness sakes. One foot??
Yep. Ridiculous, isn't it ?
If he did that sliding on his knees celebration on the pitch he did before then perfectly fine but todays decision is just baffling.
I wanted to look to the positive side though, if he hadn't been sent off he wouldn't have done that hilarious handshake scene.
It was the only thing that relieved the stress of these minutes for me.Yeah, I was dreading as they were about to take the corner. Then this happenedI wanted to look to the positive side though, if he hadn't been sent off he wouldn't have done that hilarious handshake scene.
Yeah Im surprised he didnt start shaking the Southampton fans hands as well in the row behind the dugout the rate he was going.I wanted to look to the positive side though, if he hadn't been sent off he wouldn't have done that hilarious handshake scene.
He knows what he's doing and we will challenge City for the title this season.
Moment of the season so farI wanted to look to the positive side though, if he hadn't been sent off he wouldn't have done that hilarious handshake scene.
