[Minimalist]

Really sticking up for his team isn't he?

Fcuking do it behind closed doors you eejit.

If he loses the dressing room he's gone. We're not some magical club where the rules don't apply. The manager always goes in that scenario.

 

[Drifter]

Jose laying into the players on Five Live.

 

[Carolina Red]

Hmmm... so it could be the players on the pitch playing and not the manager on the touchline?

How about that.

 

[alfonsrb]

I feel sleepy... I should buy energy drinks before matches. We look like a team with very good players but with no ideas. Watching the match it is easy to see that we have talented players who are underperforming. It is like was, again, the first match they played together, and after almost 2 years, this is fault of the manager.

On a positive note, Lukaku's attitude is great and we won.

 

[spiriticon]

Jose is spot on with his assessment. Exactly how I felt about Matic too.

 

[BluesJr]

Mourinho in these last few days, really hard to tell what’s happening.

 

[Godfather]

Finally. Thought he would try and defend that performance.

 

[RedElf]

Starting to lose the dressing room?

 

[Cee90]

Jose is ridiculous.

His post match interview (like almost all of his interviews) makes no sense.

I genuinely don’t understand what he means most of the time.

 

[Santoryo]

Can't understand how its the best thing, that should be the worst thing, can't be happy to seem them being so abysmal.

Exactly.

I don't understand this notion of being happy seeing your 2 marquee signing being benched due to stinking up the place. Questions should be asked as to why they're underperforming and it is certainly nothing to be happy about.

 

[Zebs]

I could hear a lot of singing today, despite the number of empty seats. Strange.

They tested out a new area for the singing section, seemed to work well.

 

[el3mel]

Our players are doing the same mistake over and over and over again. They just escaped today from another loss because of the poor opponent.

We're terribly arrogant team. Our players think they can win anyway even if they keep sulking around on the pitch. They simply don't care to work hard on the pitch till they realize they're going, that's when they start performing.

Had been the case for most of the season now. We only perform under pressure. Mourinho isn't the most brave manager, but the most negative manager in the world won't tell his players to sulk around till they're losing.

Our mentality is crap, but it's not the winning mentality that we're missing its the mentality of working hard to achieve the win and not taking it as guaranteed.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Scathing from Jose.

Maybe that’s what’s needed, high risk from the manager, but it’s not been good enough from the team.

 

[montpelier]

When everything else fails there's always a back post cross to some tall cnut.

Our attacking play is abysmal. We need Sanchez and Pogba back in form quickly.

Could say that the team play was better today without the pair of self-indulgent bellends giving it straight back to the opposing team though?

Not a sophisticated pattern of attacking today, but at least it looked like one existed, & it didn't involve Fellaini as the main focus.

You naysayers expect too much.

 

[AshRK]

Fair enough by Jose. Calling spade a spade. We cannot always defend our players.I have seen many times Jose shouting at players to pass forward, to go forward but players play safe.

Also find scholes (my favourite player) hypocrite. Just before the interview he was moaning and complaining and the moment Jose calls the players out he says they were fine today.

 

[Zebs]

Jose is ridiculous.

His post match interview (like almost all of his interviews) makes no sense.

How does it not? I think it was brilliant.

 

[Godfather]

No holding back from Jose there. He’s absolutely right, but is he gonna lose the dressing room here? Don’t know how he approaches it now.

He'll get rid of quite a few in the summer anway.

 

[Ban]

He's depressed me and I'm nowhere near him. I'm almost sure he's irritated the lot of the players. If you still think Jose's the greatest thing then fine, but what I wrote is what I feel exactly. Not making up anything.

You feel like the players are sad?

Maybe the players have irritated him too.

 

[Jazz]

Just get rid of Mourinho now. Still deflecting the little shit. You cannot go around making these things so public.
If I were the press officer I would drag his ass away from a microphone. Sick of him.

 

[redIndianDevil]

Garbage. Reaction my arse.

No doubt there will be some “we won, why are you complaining?” types.

Oh but there will be loads of those types acting as if they are the better fans and call us spoilt for expecting us to play half decent football.

 

[Judas]

No holding back from Jose there. He’s absolutely right, but is he gonna lose the dressing room here? Don’t know how he approaches it now.

Think most of us would be quite happy if half the dressing room got lost anyway.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Starting to lose the dressing room?

Based on what? A lacklustre Luke Shaw?

 

[afrocentricity]

Interesting comments from the boss.

 

[Zahed]

Wanting good football and trophies are not polar opposites. This is Manchester United. If you can't understand that, then you don't understand Manchester United.

 

[Cee90]

How does it not? I think it was brilliant.

Why didn’t he say this kind of stuff against Sevilla?

His interviews drive me mental.

 

[Jazz]

You feel like the players are sad?

Maybe the players have irritated him too.

Look at him having a public rant again. How is that suppose to inspire confidence. I want him fecking out of here.

 

[walkinhop]

People on the Caf want us to score with our every attack and close the opposition before halfline, shocker!!

Or have more than a couple of shots, shocker.

 

[rpitchfo]

Don't fall for it! It's all for the cameras!!! He's a defensive coach, always has been always will be! Players don't want to defend at man utd they just dont. This is exactly what happened at Chelsea...this is the beginning of the end. Classic jose

 

[Verminator]

Surprised Smalling's rating is so low. He bailed Bailly and Valencia out a few times.

Scathing interview from Jose.

 

[ha_rooney]

Jose is right. The players are scared, happy to ‘try’ without taking risk & have become complacent. Spend more time & energy on social media than the pitch since SAF left.

 

[Jacko21]

Starting to lose the dressing room?

There's a danger of that.

But equally, he has the absolute backing of Woodward and co, so probably think come the summer, he can place a few on the transfer list and bring in others.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

I'm happy that Jose is angry after that performance.

I would have been worried if he was content after watching that

 

[Judas]

Just get rid of Mourinho now. Still deflecting the little shit. You cannot go around making these things so public.
If I were the press officer I would drag his ass away from a microphone. Sick of him.

Absolute nonsense, he's finally saying what he should be saying. It's not deflecting when its the truth and he's calling out the spineless team we have.

 

[Zebs]

Why didn’t he say this kind of stuff against Sevilla?

His interviews drive me mental.

Perhaps he said it in the dressing room on Tuesday but didn't think it was the right time to criticise the players so publically, but after another abject performance he's had enough?

 

[Vidyoyo]

Just get rid of Mourinho now. Still deflecting the little shit. You cannot go around making these things so public.
If I were the press officer I would drag his ass away from a microphone. Sick of him.

He didn't single any players out. In fact, he only specified Matic and McTominay who he went on to praise.

 

[cyril C]

Solid. I'll take a full season of 2-0 wins in that manner.

Score line can be misleading. I like the 1st half even before the goal, because movement was fantastic and we kept the ball rolling, great to reward with a goal as well. 2nd half was dreadful, everyone were static. I can understand Matic, Valencia, Lukaku alike could be tired after a long week, but Martial and Mata have been scratching their balls whole week, so why were they watching the ball in 2nd half? Big disappointment with the stand-in players, they could have and should have throw in 80min of effort to stamp on their mark.

 

[Snowjoe]

Some completely pathetic reactions

 

[Jazz]

Don't fall for it! It's all for the cameras!!! He's a defensive coach, always has been always will be! Players don't want to defend at man utd they just dont. This is exactly what happened at Chelsea...this is the beginning of the end. Classic jose

Exactly!

He can't coach anything resembling an attack. Just blaming every one else except himself. But some fans will lap it up. The man is an embarrassment.

 

[Jacko21]

Agree with this.

More than at any other club, Mourinho feels pretty untouchable where Woodward and co are concerned.

 

[Adisa]

I agree.

 

[Judas]

Get the feeling on here people would rather keep Shaw and lose Jose, what a laugh.

 

[MrPooni]

Strange. He was happy with the attitude after Sevilla.

He was clearly protecting his players in the hope they'd repay him with a better performance tonight, when they didn't he decided to give them both barrels.

 

[montpelier]

I think he's going halfway round the bend again, .
