Mind Game Boss

Even though our current squad does need improvement in certain area, Mourinho isn't going to panic over one defeat in pre-season, especially with the NY Red Bulls game being our first. We did lose 3-0 to Werder Bremen last year after all.

But if we also lose to PSG, Barcelona, Arsenal and even Fiorentina...

Our first pre-season game but our finishing was woeful as usual.

Griezmann, Reus, Pedro on the right can solve this.

Holding the ball against pressing teams with ramires playing is a disaster if either fabregas or Matic gets injured.

Witsel, aranguiz, javi Martinez will solve this.

But we're happy with what we have... Let's hope our first team starters don't injure.

Jose confesses his biggest fear and his two treasures:

After last season it was clear the team need improvements. I don't get why people realizes it after a pre season friendly match.

A great team was never made of players who had hard work exceed technical ability.

Man United 2010/2011, they won the title because of a great coach and hard work, also because every other epl team were shit as ... but they finally took a lesson in the UCL final.

People are ridiculous freaking out over a pre season match.

I didn't even watch it and even after looking at the score I didn't care.

Because you know what? Pre season means nothing. It's just there to help your players get in shape. A training session nothing more.

This quote scares me a bit. It doesn't really sound like a typical José mind game where he lies to the media about transfers.

We HAD the best team in England LAST season. There's no guarantee that everyone will perform as well as they did last season or even stay fit. Plus ALL of our rivals will have improved drastically.

City, Arsenal, United, and Liverpool have all splashed the cash on players that will directly improve their first XI. Are we seriously not going to sign any quality additions!?

Mourinho: We have already sold Filipe Luis. We do not need a substitute. We have a squad already complete and in that role there is Cesar Azpilicueta, who is the best left-back in the Premier League

Seriously starting to piss me off. Does he not understand that squad depth/ qulity depth was our biggest issue last season. Not only has the squad been made smaller its lost quality aswell.

last year we were very lucky with regards to injuries especially in comparison to the other top sides . We MAY not be so lucky this time , I fear we do not have the depth

to deal with an injury crisis.

Surely Ake is going nowhere then, to provide LB cover ICE.

Wonder if he's just saying that because the board is emphasizing on committing to the FFP rules (FFS!) and 'One Out One In' policy. Otherwise, it's bizarre to think a manager as experienced as Mourinho thinks this squad is complete or perfect.

I don't think Mourinho cares about what the board says, he will do what he wants.

I honestly think he's been told that the days of big spending are over and that he's being forced to use academy players or ones like Moses who were out on loan.

We'll literally be lining up day one of the PL with the same XI in all likelihood. Would've laughed at someone who told me on the final day of last season that we'd start the next one with a weaker squad.

Isn't FFP relaxed now anyway, and even if it wasn't Im sure we could spend 50-70mil without it being a problem with the new TV deal, recent player sales and new sponsors.

Think it's stretching it to say we start next season with a weaker squad. We basically still have the same squad as last season.
