Yaaas Broncos!
Not good management by Jose.
Not good management by Jose.
He wanted to bring Miki on to waste time not for added heightI hope he smooths it over with Mata. Sounded like a reasonable explanation from Jose, but forgot Miki is not much taller than Mata so then it doesn't make sense again, but Miki's stronger I suppose.
Jose doesn't want to alienate the Spanish contingent so early in the season - DDG in particular.
Fair enough, never heard of a footballer that wasn't angry or disappointed at being subbed, especially as he was a sub himself. The media are making more of it than it is though with Luckhurst ridiculous observation that he had to be restrained...Mourinho even admitted himself that Mata was angry. Not sure why some are making it out like he wasn't bothered. Will he be over it tomorrow? I'd like to think so, but doesn't mean he wasn't angry/annoyed initially.
I guess, but his explanation was he took Mata off because he's the smallest when Miki isn't much taller. Could have taken someone else off then if he just wanted to waste time?He wanted to bring Miki on to waste time not for added height
He said he took Mata off because he was the smallest player and the game was going to end in long balls.He wanted to bring Miki on to waste time not for added height
Yeah and he couldn't take off Fellaini or Ibra.He said he took Mata off because he was the smallest player and the game was going to end in long balls.
No, height was not an issue... because he didn't sub either of the tall guys.Height was so much of an issue that he left it until the 93rd minute to sub him on. It was unnecessary and shite man management. It wouldn't be as big of an issue if it was any other player but there's clearly history after how he left Chelsea.

Anyway, I hope Mata doesn't dwell on this. Better to just move on.
He said he wanted to take someone off to waste time and it wasn't going to be Ibrahimovic or Fellaini as they are tall so it was Rashford, Herrera and Mata to pick from. Mata is the smallest so he went for himHe said he took Mata off because he was the smallest player and the game was going to end in long balls.
white text clearly not working ? poor managementNot good management by Jose.
I'm pissed!
Angry Mata after being substituted.
Can't tell if this is a windup.Not good management by Jose.
? And why Korea?feck the English media, let's relocate to Korea.
What was disrespectful?He's gone. Quite disrespectful of Mourinho to do that. good enough or not that was poor man management, and i love Mourinho.
I'm in Korea, and I can tell you it is moments like this that make me thankful I don't have to listen to the English commentators talking nonsensefeck the English media, let's relocate to Korea.
He wanted to waste time; takes off the shortest player. Pretty simple logic behind that really. He is not going to go out and say he wanted to waste time though.I guess, but his explanation was he took Mata off because he's the smallest when Miki isn't much taller. Could have taken someone else off then if he just wanted to waste time?
Anyway, I hope Mata doesn't dwell on this. Better to just move on.
This is actually Mata's angry face. He's just like the anti-Valencia, and never stops smiling.
Angry Mata after being substituted.
Hence proved Jose loves Mata. He couldn't care less about Mata when he was best player at Chelsea 2 years back, but suddenly developed man-love for him an United.Nonsense, if Jose does not want him why put him on the bench ahead of Young, Depay, Jones, Darmian etc?
Also why bring him on before Mkhi if he wants him out?
