This manager won the league last season too. I'm pretty sure these players didn't win the league on their own, it's not like they're so great that they're capable of winning league titles regardless of who is the manager. I actually like Mourinho's philosophy, perform or you're out (Hazard, I'm looking at you)

Still think he shouldn't be given the sack. I think if he manages to turn it around - and if he is given the chance I believe he will - in the future nothing would stand in our way. We're probably not making top four at this point, but next season will be here before you know it. Missing out on Champions League after a season like this? I'll take it. There is a reason why Roman hasn't sacked him yet, and I praise him for it.

It's not poor arguing but it is a poor choice of words, and for that I'd like to apologize to all the Belgian users here. It's something I shouldn't have said, my bad.

My apologies, I didn't notice your nationality previously. Have you signed up on a Real Madrid forum yet? lol.

Please, whatever you say about him, just don't compare him to Messi or Ronaldo

Well there is no way we're winning this now.

Mourinho to get a 10-game ban for post-match reaction.

I am digging this Willian.

Pep has been a massive European failure in the past two years, because he's done the opposite of what Bayern brought him for. They went from being European champions and one of the most formidable teams around, to a team that gets humiliated by the opponents they wanted to dominate. Pep's team conceded 5 goals by Real Madrid in a semi-final in aggregate, without scoring a single goal (where was this exciting 'attacking football' Pep is known for?). Same with Barca last season, Bayern's attack nowhere to be seen. Not to mention that he's weak defensively, with his tactics and philosophy being very one-dimensional. Why do the fans want him here, exactly?

Whaat... people seriously want Pep here? Even Bayern fans don't like him. Well, when their club reaches the most important point during a season that is (i.e. CL quarter/semi-final). Bundesliga is easy, let's not fool ourselves here. Bayern in the last two years have been demolished in Europe, all thanks to Pep and his amazing attacking skills. Mourinho is far superior tactically, always has been.

Wow, this is starting to become a bit ridiculous. All of you who believe the coach is being too harsh on the players by "putting all the blame on them" and being arrogant... seriously get real. They're grown men, I'm pretty sure they can handle it. Besides, what if this is his way of motivating them? And since when can't a coach criticize his own players? He took Matic off after less than thirty minutes and now Matic has been made a scapegoat and it's the end of the world. Since when can't a manager take off a player if he believes he's not doing his job properly? Yes, it rarely happens, but the manager has every right in the world to do it.

I think I'm better than Fabregas.

Henrique would still be copy-pasting articles from ESPN FC, regardless of the result

Yes, because same nationality = same person. What a fucktard.

I hope Mourinho relegates us to the Championship AND stays as manager for five more seasons, just to rustle your jimmies

Nailed it. After the game against Arsenal I was expecting to see nothing but praise around here... I was shocked to find people were criticizing Mourinho and the team, as if we'd lost, not won, a derby against arguably our most hated rivals, a "title-challenging" team. I think Mourinho produced a masterstroke that game (all the 11 men against 9 BS aside), but the majority here were complaining as usual. I believe Mourinho can turn this season around, and that game proves it.

I'll take a 2-2 draw away at Newcastle after being 2-0 down.

Too late for that now.

This is ridiculous, we were winning when they had ten men AND we were clearly the better team when they still had eleven.

We beat Arsenal of all teams, keep a clean sheet, play quick, counter-attacking aggressive football, Hazard, Costa and Fabregas make themselves look like completely different players, heck, even Ivanovic did alright. And YET, people still complain? It's like the average age of this forum is 15 or something.

Totally outdone himself this time, just when you think he couldn't get any worse. Two goals conceded thanks to him and I honestly think something isn't right with Mourinho.

One of the most shambolic windows I can remember. Who even are these players? What's the point in all these loans? This could prove to be a disastrous season.

Does 'so much work'... not even sure if serious. Like what work exactly? Please elaborate.

I like how we love to hate Willian. Actually, I love it.

We're slowly turning into Liverpool.
