Reminder: Jose managed to turn Chelsea fans against Hazard

[kaiser1]

I'm still worried that may happen. For all the joy, we are likely not getting CL football next season and Raiola will get itchy.

I understand but its easier to convince the players with a new coach and playing enjoyable football than with Mourinho

As an opposing fan, I was hoping Mourinho stayed longer and sells Martial and Pogba. I was so sure it was another Salah, KdB again

Was never going to happen with mourinho's style of play here. We gave a chance to him to revive his career taking a nose dive, but would have never ditched talents such as those for his perisic's and Willian's and fellani's.

Martial would be the perfect replacement for Robben for you guys. Hopefully, he signs that new contract but if mourhino had stayed than you'd have gotten him on cheap.

 

[Sylar]

Jose would have got his way if he was actually winning. But he was losing badly and losing quite a bit to newly promoted teams or teams in relegation zone.

 

[Judas]

Genuinely so embarrassed for all the people who turned on Pogba.

Ribery replacement I guess.

The turd had us believing we had poorer players than Fulham. On paper, this squad is good enough to challenge.

 

[Mindhunter]

Pogba isn't blameless. He is a professional player and is expected to perform to a certain level, even if he didn't like his manager.

However, it was foolish to pay so much for him and then put him in a restrictive structure and reduce his influence to that of a defensive player who needs to track runs and close down space. He clearly enjoys playing in this setup and the trust Ole puts on him.

For me, the jury is still out. I want to see his reaction when things don't go well under a different manager.

 

[An Irish Red]

If Mourinho had his way we would have sold Pogba and Martial. If that doesn't tell you that a manager is past it then I don't know what does.

He has been playing under different managers for a long time mate.

Im not, his performances stunk the place out, but so did the managers. Glad Jose got the boot, but is Pogba going to turn backward every time he disagrees with the manager? Hope not.

 

[snk123]

I have heard this so many times and in the commentary as well that Utd would have won these games anyway under Jose. NO! We wouldn't have!

 

[Buster15]

If Mourinho had his way we would have sold Pogba and Martial. If that doesn't tell you that a manager is past it then I don't know what does.

For goodness sake. Jose has been sacked. He is no longer the manager so why are we still keeping on about him.
Let it go and move on.

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

I am so, so glad he's gone.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

I was and still am of the opinion that Pogba downed tools when things weren't going his way. His agent has a low capacity for 'keeping your head down and working through bad spells' and it rubbed off on him.

That Insta post, the comments he made when off on international duty, his passes straight out of the pitch in the 88th minute when we were trailing, him losing possession through a silly Hollywood move which immediately caught the team off guard and led to a goal (in multiple games), his attitude in general in the pitch ... Pogba is not without blame, he could have handled himself better off the pitch and done far better on it even when things weren't going fine. There is a bad taste of 'players won against the manager' in hindsight.

But what I'm now convinced of is that we should do everything we can to get the best out of Pogba, because he genuinely looked like the best CM in the world out there today.

 

[Romez]

This guy had some of our fans wanting the likes of Pogba and Martial sold.

Had some of you believing we aren’t playing attacking football because our defence is poor.

Which comments?

Firstly, it's a thread specifically about Mourinho and secondly, why wouldn't fans talk about a manager that was only sacked recently?

Apologise if it seems a bit of a rant but there is so much to look forward to in 2019, why the need to disect the past.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Which comments?

Don't remember exactly. There was one where he came out and said he'd like to see us attack more, and how since he's not the manager he can't change it. And then there was the 'There are things I cannot say otherwise I will get fined'. There was a reason Jose stripped him of vice captaincy iirc.

Because you are supposed to learn from it.

So you don't remember about comments on international duty that you are nonetheless holding against him?

 

[Buster15]

We have and he is gone. Lesson learnt.

 

[RMD83]

Yes! Let this not be forgotten! Jose tried to make us believe that these players were not capable of demolishing lesser teams “the United way”. Glad to see it back and glad to see the back of him.

 

[Escobar]

Jose is an idiot. He just cant get the best out of his top players. Good riddance

And has been totally vindicated in those comments.

Good for him.

Now he is showing on the pitch what he can do and long may it continue.

I can't believe Jose made us choose. I'm glad the club stood firm and made the right decision in the end

Vindicated because he played well in three games?

Look, I was disillusioned under Jose, I never believed he was the right manager for us. I agreed with Pogba about the attacking too. It's the principle of speaking out publicly against your manager , specifically disagreeing with him on how he does his job, that pisses me off. No player has the right to do that, and Pogba was out of order.

 

[Rolaholic]

How anyone could ever take the agenda driven opinions of a vindictive man with the emotional intelligence of an ant regarding anyone's character seriously will always be beyond me. So glad that the narcissistic fraud been relegated to the dustbin of history

 

[Sandikan]

The amount of posters who wrote stuff like "and get Pogba out of the club too" was amazing at the time.
I hope they're all quiet and hoping people don't dig those posts out now.

Imagine if we'd lost him! Our absolute best outfield player by a million miles.

Don't give a feck mate.

I'm just glad that cnut is out of my club and Pogba is performing to his potential.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Yes.

I don't remember the exact moments of what Moyes said, or games under LVG, or Mourinho's comments which I hold against them, too. I'm pretty sure if I dig them up I'll recall them. You, in the other hand, must have some great memory.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Something tells me you wouldn't have given a feck if it were a random mediocre player who had done that. Say Jones came out and said we should attack more.

The calibre of the player shouldn't excuse the violation of a simple ethical issue.

But that's gone. I don't want to take this further after a week in which we scored 12 goals and looked scintillating going forward. Just the moment will do.

I think you are correct But yes that's all in the past now. We look forward.

Edit: Sorry on second thought I don't really know what you meant. But I would have supported Jones if he had been the one to stand up to Mourinho, as much as I don't rate him.

 

[yfoFC]

This x10

We struggled in these games and Bournemouth almost trashed us so I don't get the idea that Jose would have won all these matches

He hadn't even won 3 games in a row this season for fecks sake

He was stripped of captaincy when he said something like "we should attack, attack" after a PL match.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Let’s not forget he also got rid of De Bruyne and Mo Salah whilst at Chelsea.

Just glad the virus isn’t here anymore!

 

[JPJohnson]

Supporters of Jose Mourinho are too proud to admit they were fooled by a charlatan.
