Based on recent ones there will be zero questions about the actual match, Jose will be calm in the face of pointless questions from pointless people but the media and fans will jump on anything he says, twist it and this thread will be 10 pages long by tomorrow tea time.

I predict three new Mourinho threads based on quotes from that press conference.

Expect Martial and Bailly to get it today. Just because.

Betting has been suspended on a random three line chunk of text being used in an OP taken completely out of context and skewed to misrepresent the wider point Mourinho was making.

However, bets can be placed on whether that thread is +/- 6 pages.

Jose Mourinho battens down the hatches
Not a surprise this:

Mourinho not exactly full of beans this morning. Press conf 3mins 32 seconds long. Was asked 6 questions, answered 5 of them.

Nice, even the press conferences are uneventful and frustrating nowadays :D

Every game is a difficult match according to Jose.

Jose Mourinho accepts winless steak is not good enough
- Yes, I accept (is not good enough).

- Doing all you can? the reporter asked.

- (Doesn’t answer.)

He's got a point though, we do make every game difficult at the mo'.

Moyes in disguise.

"We are going to make it as difficult for them as we possibly can"
It's just standard manager talk. Every manager says this shite before most games.

If you're going to talk bollocks at least make it humourous or something

Its really sad how this has turned out. Methods didn't work, club didn't back him, players downing tools. Really wanted him to turn things around but his demeanor says it all really.

If we don't win this one than our next 2 games are unwinnable (vs Chelsea and Juve) so we'll potentially go 8 games without a win and the pressure will be immense when we face Everton next.

If he doesn't want to be here, he should feck off then. Sick and tired of this lot. Bin them all, starting from Mourinho to clown Pogba.

Absolute bog standard quote made by every manager in the league when asked about their next opponents. Crap post

But threads on this forum are also debating the same questions that the journos are asking him, so where is the difference?

/QUOTE]

Not Jose's biggest fan but what a banal question that does not deserve an answer-what would anyone expect him to say? He should have gone for the p*ss take approach " No I thought we could just toss it off all week and then see what happens on Saturday, F*ck it it's only a game of football"

And yes I expect some replies about that being what the last 3 or 4 games have looked like anyway :)

Very sad to see this great manager become a shell of himself. Poor bloke has given up and it’s clear to see.

Hes had 2+ years and its not going to get any better. He isnt going to suddenly get Utd to play like Chelsea 04 and hes waiting for his big payday and wont quit. The owners dont want to fork out the £12 million or whatever it is to finish him. This isnt doing Utd any good at all. We will probably be losing against City Chelsea Juve twice at the very least, and this will impact on confidence in the players even more. Can see top 6 being a struggle now.

In the real world if you’re clearly tanking your job and breaching clauses in your contract you would be sacked on grounds of gross misconduct - how does this guy keep getting away with huge severance packages?

I prefer these press conferences from him at this time. Go to the dressing room and speak there, tell the press nothing.
