I think this was the time Mourinho should have admitted he got it wrong and take the blame. I would have respected him if he did. Now he just comes out as a sore loser. Sanchez can feck off too.
I would have said it differently myself, but I don’t think what he said is as sinister as some folks are making it out to be. He just worded it quite poorly.That's probably what he's trying to say. Bizarre comment, nevertheless.
Why not just say something. Man Utd had difficulties in CL before and bounced back from them. Why bring himself along with his past teams into it?
His other comments are poor as well. Just come out and say you got it badly wrong. fecking get way more respect that way. He has some ego on him.I would have said it differently myself, but I don’t think what he said is as sinister as some folks are making it out to be. He just worded it quite poorly.
Exactly. I am not sure why some are surprised. He did this many times to Chelsea and Real Madrid reminding their fans about something negative to defend himself. He would regularly point to how Real did not reach the last 8 of the CL for a long time and were losing to Lyon. I don't think he means anything against us in particular but it is his way to defend himself by putting things in perspective. But again, it is the sort of thing that alienates him to fans even at clubs where he has been amazing at.This is classic Mourinho when he's been rocked to his core. Having been watching him for the past 15 years, he always resorts to overly defensive odd remarks when he's been thoroughly embarrassed in results.
Yes, having just watched his postmatch conference, it's quite clear that he's trying desperately hard to act nonchalant and brush the whole thing off with a shrug of the shoulders "that's football".This is classic Mourinho when he's been rocked to his core.

I am a pessimist by nature, so I think that nothing will change and it is simply better to expect nothing from this team. I'd love Mourinho to turn it around, but it simply won't happen and I won't be as naive for the third time in a row to believe that another manager just needs more time. It is simply not clicking, and the "style" is just absolutely woeful. The sad truth is that our crosstown rivals will be in the so called "overdrive" mode next season as well, because they are well trained tactically, and have alternative plans, when the initial approach goes out the window. We, on the other hand, struggle to actually play football, and just resort to this idiotic Tony Pulis hoofball, which drives me nuts.Hahaha, man, what a feckin day... On a more serious note: shite comments, shite tactics and I really don't know what to expect from this team. I'm not on the "mourinho out" bandwagon, but the portuguese himself doesn't help people who stand by him (or are neutral) with those remarks.
he's trying to diminish our expectations like we are some small time club and shouldn't be wanting/expecting much better. makes his job easier and he gets away with the terrible football on show, and now no results to justify said terrible football.I've no idea what point he's trying to make.
This I agree with completely. Sometimes as a coach you’ve just gotta put it on your own shoulders and move on.Just come out and say you got it badly wrong.
No he said that he had knocked us out on two different occasions. He's basically trying to deflect away from his own feck up by bigging up the fact that his previous teams had knocked us out. There was absolutely no need to bring that up.I think he's trying to say that United have gone out before and life went on. Therefore United can recover from this.
Maybe.... I think he's tired and confused himself about what just happened.i don't know.
No, he’s not.he's trying to diminish our expectations like we are some small time club and shouldn't be wanting/expecting much better.
i disagree, and that's my interpretationNo, he’s not.
Think in any walk of life, admitting that you've got something wrong can go a long way. It can be liberating even. Like you say just move on.This I agree with completely. Sometimes as a coach you’ve just gotta put it on your own shoulders and move on.
This basically sums it up completely accurately.As the pundits say.....Jose doesn't play entertaining football, which can be tolerated as long as we are winning. If however the results dry up AND we are boring then that could spiral out of control in a hurry.
What could he have possibly hoped to gain from making that statement? It was awful any way you look at it.I would have said it differently myself, but I don’t think what he said is as sinister as some folks are making it out to be. He just worded it quite poorly.
This was his mistake. He just had to sneak in a reminder of his past achievements. Turned an ordinary statement into a controversial oneAnd he could say it like that or similar to that or something but nope, he went on how he fecked us over when he was a oppo manager in those cases
Which is completely fine, to be fair.i disagree, and that's my interpretation
Yes indeed. I wish he’d realize that. The sooner the better.Think in any walk of life, admitting that you've got something wrong can go a long way. It can be liberating even. Like you say just move on.
“It’s happened before and the club has rebounded from it”What could he have possibly hoped to gain from making that statement? It was awful any way you look at it.
Why not just come out and take responsibility for one of the clubs worst performances under his leadership, rather than mock the club.
This. His teams are almost never entertaining except the league winning Madrid side he managed. His pedigree comes from his success, if he cant deliver that at United then hes not worth having. Too early for the sack now towards the end of the season but Ed and the board have to set the expectation that the PL is a must next season, otherwise he should be gone.As the pundits say.....Jose doesn't play entertaining football, which can be tolerated as long as we are winning.

Scholes had it spot on tonight. We play similar football a lot of the time and manage a win, so it's glossed over. Doesn't mean it's good enough though.As the pundits say.....Jose doesn't play entertaining football, which can be tolerated as long as we are winning. If however the results dry up AND we are boring then that could spiral out of control in a hurry.
For what he means? Because we could easily translate it as "I have no clue how to manage the expectations of the fans". He can't avoid controversy, can he?This is the correct explanation, folks.
WUM much?Cry me a fecking river. 95% of you lot need every little reason to get pissed off.
Possibly, but that doesn't explain why he felt the need to mention the Real and Porto encounters from the past, both of which beat United while he was manager. Doesn't add up.“It’s happened before and the club has rebounded from it”
That’s what he was trying to say, and what he should have said.
What would you get out of that? The understanding that the sky isn’t falling.
The problem still remains that Jose never takes responsibility or owns up to mistakes, which is one of the reasons his teams turn on him.“It’s happened before and the club has rebounded from it”
That’s what he was trying to say, and what he should have said.

I have an inkling that he won't last until 2019. I think shit will unravel big time. It's true. I believe it now. There's always something with Jose. If it's not the team doctor it's creating a near civil war at Madrid. He's a combustible personality under any set of circumstances.This.

But what a stupid way to do it though.I’m sure it’s just an elaborate way of saying it’s happened before and he personally witnessed it twice from the away dugout. Still weird choice of words but more disturbing is he feels the players tried their best tonight and that’s good enough. I’d be worried if he’s happy with that performance and feels the players gave it everything they had
Yep, he has to win, there is never any credit in the bank when you play he does, and rightly so.As the pundits say.....Jose doesn't play entertaining football, which can be tolerated as long as we are winning.
