Under soil heating.

There we go. Ponytail guy is the press officer. Jose is pissed because Pogba was posting on Instagram when we were losing.
Jose should have apologised to Pogba himself then rather than making comic book guy do it for him.

Watching Liverpool vs. Chelsea and it amazes me how quickly Chelsea players have bought into Sarri's style and philosophy. What a turn from pragmatic, defensive style they had under Conte.
No. Don’t you know that for a team to have a recognisable style the manager needs 3+ years and all squad players to have been bought by him + Aldeireweld?

I would really like to fire Mou today and get Wenger until the end of the season :D I really think he would improve our attacking side.

Jose knew the cameras were there.... why choose to confront Pogba in this way, thus creating more drama? I honestly believe he's creating problems with Pogba because he wants to create a distraction from his woeful managerial performance.

The board needs to act right now. Sick of all this stupid drama. Jose is not getting top four, so we may as well get rid of the toxicity at least.

Couldn't agree more and he is a master at it.

Mourinho is an embarrassment because of his instinctive lack of class as a human being. I didn't like Antonio Conte but to bring up the match-fixing stuff he was cleared of was an unworthy ploy, worthy of getting a smack in the mouth. But JM has had big success wherever he's been if we mean success on the pitch. And I'd settle for that for sure, and ignore the fact that he embarrasses the club because of his scorpion-like personality.

As many people have said on this post, he's not being backed by the Glazers - that's our problem, not Mourinho. Why would they care if we are struggling in all competitions and play rubbish football with gaping holes all over our squad if enough of us still support our team and the cash registers keep a-ringing and a-tinglng? Maybe in 20 years time, when we're in the Rymans League our support will have dropped off to the point where we don't fund these guys' lifestyles. until then, we are fecked.

Salah (sold), De Bruyne(sold), Hazard (benched and alienated), Ronaldo (alienated), Pogba (benching and alienating), Martial (benching and alienating), and the list goes on...The man is a dinosaur and can't deal with the flair players. Chelsea and Real couldn't be more happier they backed Hazard and Ronaldo, respectively, over the man fighting his own demons.

Lets hope our board share a few brain cells between them and don't allow Jose to do any more damage.

Chelsea won against Liverpool away tonight with only having Kovačić from Sarri's signings in a team consisting of bench warmers mostly, playing some really nice attacking football typical of Sarri only 3 months after his appointment...

Crazy that Mourinho has a history of alienating players like Hazard and Ronaldo, yet people will still be adamant that he isn’t the problem.

I guess I watched a different game then. Liverpool's team were bench warmers as well and apart from the first 20 mins Liverpool were on top. Bad refereeing and Hazard brilliance won a game for Chelsea.

Chelsea have much, much better players than us.

They've won the league twice in the past 4 years haven't they?

Not many of our team would get in theirs.

Funny how the goal posts keep being moved to defend Mourinho.

Now suddenly Chelsea have a vastly superior team to us. How convenient

I'm sorry but that is not an excuse. Midfield and attack (Hazard aside) are very very similar in terms of quality. Both defences are bad IMO. It's not the players, it's the way of playing which is problematic.

Chelsea finished miles ahead of us in 16/17 and had a better team in every department. They've spent more money than us since then. People need to wake up. We're not in their class and won't be for the foreseeble future whilst these owners and board are still here.

That's all you'll get from the Mourinho apologists :rolleyes:

And a whole bunch of double standards.

Yep, you watched a different game if that's all you've managed to take from it.

Mignolet, Clyne, Moreno, Matip, Lovren, Fabinho, Milner, Keita, Sturridge, Mane, Shaquiri.

Caballero, Emerson, Azpillicueta, Christensen, Cahill, Fabregas, Kovačic, Barkley, Moses, Willian, Morata.

Surely you meant apart from 20 minutes Liverpool looked dangerous (mostly due to Chelsea mistakes and counters) Chelsea were in control.

BTW you completely missed my point, Sarri managed to make them cohesive and attacking in 3 months, even their 2nd team , whilst people are making excuses for us losing at home to a championship side that has outplayed us last night.

Chelsea have a much, much better set of football players than us, most have great winning mentality and are used to winning. Mourinho took over a team even further behind them.

People just look at our name and not our actual set up and squad when comparing us.

Mourinho getting us to 2nd was a very good achievement.

Mourinho, on the other hand, was creating conflict almost from day one. His attitude, according to one senior source at Old Trafford, was that “everything was shit … the training ground was shit, the players were shit, the medical staff were shit, the food was shit, the stadium was shit, everything.”
It is a good, albeit depressing, read. I think he’s wide of the mark in the final paragraph though. A good number are indifferent to Mourinho’s departure and fans aren’t giving him the backing to do as he pleases with the squad.

Let's not forget where Mourinho took that great Chelsea team before he came over to us.

And that second placed finish flattered to deceive, we were terrible for most of the season and were embarrassed in Europe to a much more inferior side. That's the thing, we are regularly outplayed by inferior sides.

Mourinho has built this team over 5 windows, so if we are still that behind in quality, guess who that falls to?

If Mourinho was to go, can we have Lampard? Seems to know how to motivate a team. :-)

Mourinho is a proven winner, our players aren't.

The only top class proven winner at our club is the man this thread wants gone :D

Yeah, lineups just prove that both teams played second teams apart from of course a few players. If by control you mean more possession then yes, they had slightly more. Liverpool had more chances though. Anyway, I couldn't care less and I am not making any excuses for our shit performances. Just thought your comment sounded like Chelsea were completely outplaying Liverpool at Anfield playing 2nd team against Liverpool's best which is simply not true. Next league game will show what's what.

We need a plane over OT next match.
If there's one done re: Mourinho then the indiviuduals involved will need witness protection amongst the local support.

The fans are behind Mourinho, it's that dog Woodward who the fans are rightly going after.

If our rivals hyped up an EL win over reaching a CL final we would be calling them stupid, with good reason. People need to stop with this "we won trophies" remark. It was just the EL plus a couple of irrelevant crap. It's way below the standards of this club and it's humiliating to resort to those just to defend a manager who already proved he thinks he's bigger than the club.
And the way they seem to lord the EL win over the Liverpool fans is pathetic actually. Liverpool reached the finals of the EL beating us, Dortmund and lost to Sevilla in the finals. We struggled to beat Celta fecking Vigo.

Rubbish. They finished 5th last season. We finished 2nd. Look at the way City embrassed them at the Etihad and now look at the transformation. Enough of the excuses.

The sheep who visit OT don't know their arse from their elbows. And the ones who do are told to keep quiet by the sheep.

No because 80% of the squad is total crap and those above the manager have undermined him to a point of no return. Mourinho was improving us steadily when he was backed and allowed to do his own thing.

That's not enough. Our opponents mustn't have good players too.

We all knew Jose was a fecking snake before he joined.
From the eye poke to the physio incident at Chelsea to throwing players under the bus when things got tough.
Might once have been a great manager but now all we are left with is a shell.
And he’s not even good enough to be “our cnut” any more.......

He's bought more than 20% of the team, so if 80% is total crap he's partly responsible for it. Now go ahead and find another lame excuse to absolve him of any blame.

That's what he wants you to think - do Derby and Wolves really have better players than us?

Not going to doubt that - Jose has a history of winning & is a proven winner. He also has a proven history of being unable to stay longer than 3 years at clubs that he himself rose up.

He won some cups for us & now he can plod off because its scientifically proven that he is finished here.

No club needs a perfect 11 players - a club like Liverpool have improved a lot by picking some great players scattered around a rather mediocre team - we should be able to do the same.

Yet who do we buy? Lukaku for 80 mil, Sanchez for a already LW heavy position, Lindelöf, Matic season 2.0 syndrome & others - that's not going to improve our squad all that much is it?neither is willian or perisic for 60 odd mill:eek:

Squad just needs few better players from the eyes of a technical style manager - not B&Q football that has a 2 & a half year warranty :)

Love how jose fans keep bringing this up. Hes also a proven cnut, how come that doesnt seem to be an issue? he certainly has no love for this club, so i dont understand the fierce loyalty from some of you.

This season will be a complete write off the serious recriminations have started and the genie can't be put back in the bottle. A section of the players will down tools, we'll sink down the table and as this happens Mourinho will throw more of them under the bus to try and save his own skin leading to a further meltdown - it's that last Chelsea season all over again. The stupid board in the meantime will sit on their hands waiting until the manager can be flirted at a reasonable financial cost. It ain't gonna be pretty and the press and ABUs will have an absolute field day. Jose's usual 3 years are up - let's not prolong the agony.
