Antonio Valencia fit; Fellaini & Dalot out; Lingard and Sanchez in contentionSorry couldn't find a thread on this. OK if I make one? Anyone following it?
Good answer tbfJose Mourinho was asked the big question at the end of his press conference.
This was his answer: "When you are outside top four, you should not speak about title race. "When you are top four, which I believe we are going to be, then you can look up see the distance and look at the situation. At the moment, injuries, suspension and form.
"The aim now is to get the points we need try to be at end of December in a better position than we are at the moment."
Yeah - this season he seems to be doing better. Let’s see how we do on gameday!Good answer tbf

Probably has something to do with leaked line ups before the match. Maybe.Erm what does this mean or referring to?
To the “leaks” — Samuel Luckhurst works for MEN, that posted “leaked” team well before the official announcement. So Jose redirects questions about the potential line up to him.Erm what does this mean or referring to?
He is saying Samuel Luckhurst knows the team as MEN usually leaks the team well in advance, at least in last 2-3 weeks.Erm what does this mean or referring to?
The only way he could answer that question. Feck the title race, we have bigger issues at hand.Jose Mourinho was asked the big question at the end of his press conference.

Why not?what title race, haha, we cant even think of top 4 race now.
why not title race or why not top 4?Why not?
Why not top 4. The manager brought us 2nd last year and is only 5 pts off 4th in November this year. Silly to say we outright won't do it.why not title race or why not top 4?
Anyway the answer is the same. We don't have the manager who is capable of lifting his squad to reach the higher limits of their abilities. He will continue complaining till we find ourselves 10 points behind top 4 in februari. I have never seen Jose come out of crisis in his managerial career, so I cant be confident he can fix our season at the moment.
True but lose more games in the next 3 which is more than likely and top 4 is going to be one hell of a struggle......we already need a long winning run to get back in there.Why not top 4. The manager brought us 2nd last year and is only 5 pts off 4th in November this year. Silly to say we outright won't do it.
No it's impossible because mourinho isn't fashionable how could he possibly make up 5 points in 20 something games? Only a fashionable manager could do that.Why not top 4. The manager brought us 2nd last year and is only 5 pts off 4th in November this year. Silly to say we outright won't do it.
Yup, he needs to bellow at the 4th official and kick stuff around, which of course he would never do.No it's impossible because Mourinho isn't fashionable how could he possibly make up 5 points in 20 something games? Only a fashionable manager could do that.
You gotta laugh at notions like this. But now the players are in eighth place. Am I doing this right?Why not top 4. The manager brought us 2nd last year and is only 5 pts off 4th in November this year. Silly to say we outright won't do it.
People are just pointing out that given who we have dropped points against thus far, the state of our goals conceded and goals scored stats, difficult upcoming fixtures and overall form.....expecting a winning run out of the blue is closer to fantasy than reality. Yes it's possible but most people would put their months salary on a bumpy ride ahead as it's been thus far.No it's impossible because Mourinho isn't fashionable how could he possibly make up 5 points in 20 something games? Only a fashionable manager could do that.
Well I guess the players must have been trying harder last year. This year they aren’t trying hard enough, and motivating staff is definitely not the job of the managerYou gotta laugh at notions like this. But now the players are in eighth place. Am I doing this right?

Did you miss last season? 2nd was an excellent result with the players he had at his disposal.why not title race or why not top 4?

Knee issue. Which would explain a lot as he looks a little heavier than normal and has lost a few steps this season.Anyone know what is Valencia's problem. Jose said surgery on mouth for a non-injury thing.
We'd be 4th and only 3 points off the top with 23 points this time. We lost not only to Brighton but West Ham as well which is quite bad.Our poor start to the season is nothing unbelievable because we lost against Brighton last season as well and Newcastle played well against us in both games last season. We had 23 points last season at this point, which would be nothing special at this moment.
Such negativity. Of course we are capable of a top 4 finish and hopefully good cup runs.True but lose more games in the next 3 which is more than likely and top 4 is going to be one hell of a struggle......we already need a long winning run to get back in there.
His inability to cross a ball for the best part of a decade has been one of his problems.Anyone know what is Valencia's problem. Jose said surgery on mouth for a non-injury thing.
No, because we ended the season 2nd and right now it's only November. Try again.You gotta laugh at notions like this. But now the players are in eighth place. Am I doing this right?
