Never criticised us for winning games, I just don't like the negative game. Moreover in the 3-3 game which we drew was our mistake was that we sat back and gave United the chance to come back in the game, moreover our team is stronger than it was back then and United is weaker. I simply don't like a negative attitude mate. Overall I'm quite happy with things but there are some details that are quite frustrating. I understand what you say but I'd prefer if this team adopted a more positive attitude.

I gave other examples in that same post such as the times Man City have always looked to score even more goals despite leading and anyway it was quite apparent in that game that Man U were looking likely to concede more. Forget the United game, this is just a terrible trend that is starting to be created. Instead of scoring MORE GOALS we just go defensive and look to scrape a win. Well comparing our GD (or anyone else's) with Man City is embarassing, it's lower than Arsenal's and the Liverpool are below yet boast a better GD.... It's just not a good attitude to have. Being negative. Simply shutting up shop and not looking to score. What happened to the stuff we saw against Hull in the 1st half on the 1st day (or against Villa on the 2nd day for 20 mins or so)?

If any other manager makes a similar comment instead of 'digging out' a reason to support it, people would be saying #ManagerOut Why do people have this assumption that Mourinho is 100% perfect? I've even seen Man U fans criticise SAF.

Funny Everton is above United in the table, but what kind of reply is this to the fact that instead of scoring more. We're just shutting up shop. Our next game after the United game was in 1 week against Stoke.... so leaving on some attacking midfielders for 10 extra minutes to bang in some more goal was wrong? If you take it the 'oh they could have got an injury way' then even the DMs coming on might have? eh? Forget the United game that's been the trend for the entire season. It's really annoying since our attitude should be to go our their bang in more goals! We actually went negative and ended up conceding even Garry Neville was saying United were looking likely to concede more but bar that game, why is our side so negative? We went to Basel and we parked the bus, I mean what? Why would you park the bus against Basel? And even that failed! City were 3-0 up to Spurs and went on to win 6-0. City were leading with Arsenal yet they didn't back down till the last minute and won 6-3. Isn't that what this whole 'Project' is about? Delivering a high standard of attacking football? Is that not why we've been signing players like Hazard, Willian, Oscar etc. The thing is we should have a more positive approach. We should always be looking and hunting for more goals. It's always great to see a side playing attractive football and the thing is in games against 'weaker' teams we should do that. I understand and respect the need in some games to be conservative even Man City when they came to Stamford Bridge respected us and played Javi Garcia in the midfield. I understand there are some games WHERE YOU HAVE TO be a little bit cautious (like in the game at the Ethiad) but the thing is we seem to be building a negative mentality? I mean we won 8-0 against Villa last season which is something that seems pretty unlikely this season. One thing I would like to add though is that Liverpool even approached the game at the Ethiad with quite an attacking mentality (and were quite unfortunate to lose).

Misunderstanding I quote him because I didn't understand what he meant by his philosophy is 'winning'. Apologies.

Tactical genius is Mourinho! Never realised the point of the game was to win! So that means all other manager's philosophy is to lose? btw even that winning thing u said can be argued against since he has gone into some games this season just looking to draw lol

Guy on my Twitter TL calling Mata a traitor.... oh god...

Just a quick question I'd like to ask you all? Liverpool were leading 4-0 at home to Everton and went on the hunt for more, while when we were leading 3-0 against United (or lead in any game) we decide to shut up shop rather than hunt for more. Why all this negativity?

You know I remember a Chelsea fan on Twitter saying Ramires>Fernandinho a while back..... You know if we take this whole idea of building a 'Barcelona-esqu' technically brilliant side' plan seriously then Ramires kinda contradicts that.

You know it's weird how people say the Sturridge signing was good business cos we sold him for 12 mil lol. He's worth much more than that now and better than all our current strikers combined!

Remember the two home games with Stoke in 2012? It was a Mata moment of brilliance in both that helped us win 1-0. It's incredible how fans have just adopted a 'hate' for Mata in an attempt to show they are true 'Mourinhoista'. These same people have been drawing Mata-Zola comparisons for ages and have been talking about how he's a next Chelsea legend etc.

So you expect Alladyce to win the CL with West Ham? ok.....

Is it just me? But what a hypocriticial statement by Mourinho to criticise West Ham of '19th Century' football. I mean it's not like he's ever done it eh?

38/39 shots on goal and nothing to show for it. Frustrating. To sum it up in one word.

"Fuck told you." Was that Alladyce?

I WANT A GOAL BAH BA! GOAL BAH BA!

Let's see how these subs play out. Must say we need them!

Our shots have been like a bowling ball in a bowling alley..... We need a GD of 2 to go ahead of Arsenal?

Dawson's goal wasn't offside. BT Sport just showed it.

Well the only good thing we've had all match is that Aguero might miss the game against us on Monday.

We tend to pick it up in big games but then again we make scoring look tougher than nuclear physics.

Meanwhile in another part of our universe there have been 5 goals between Aston Villa and West Brom....

Lol Spurs could be in for another hammering tonight.

I think he meant that Juan Mata brought some quality into the team. And while I saw the game today (had exams so when I came home I saw the games I missed) he did play some nice diagonal balls. (anyway I only read a bit of his article haha)
