"Extremely well:?? Is he serious or we just don't understand football now? I watched the match and it was completely shit mate. keep going.

He's been doing this for years. Trying to control the narrative - if he keeps saying they're playing well enough times a lot of jounos & supporters will start to believe it.

He tried to do the same here but you can only pretend for so long. You can't sugar-coat shit on a stick football forever.

It's interesting at United though. When you watch United, particularly over their last say 5 games, they actually play pretty well. It's fast paced, direct, but they seem to be very goal shy. It's more of a distribution problem rather than their strikers not functioning well. But that's a consequence of them spending ridiculous money on 4 players without filling in the gaps lmao.

Jose is right they've played good football, but if he wants to see how you get results from good football then he should seriously look at Conte. Our accuracy in front of goal is the best it has ever been, we only had 4 shots on target against City and were clinical enough to take all but one of those chances.

Thoroughly enjoying this spell though, United fans being forced to be humbled after thinking they'll win everything during the summer :lol:

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United playing well despite Everton draw

Good I hope he keeps playing like this. 

In fact I hope he continues at United for many more years. 

I still remember the Mourinho German apologist telling me how Chelsea will regret the decision to sack him. As Mourinho will make us pay. :D

Someone's feeling the pressure and can't handle the fact that another manager is doing a better job than he did with basically the same squad.

Am I the only one who interpreted this second quote as a dig at us?  I also remember him almost dismissively calling us a counter attacking side either just before or just after we played them.

He is the last guy to complain about that haha. 

Besides the difference when his team goes 1:0 he closes, when Conte does, we keep playing. Sure you change that for last 10 mins or so, but Mou is doing it for whole games regardless of opponent. I just saw a short documentary of him, it reminded me how amazing he was once,  8 years unbeaten at home, and how far he has fallen now. As for his character I kinda understand him. Few can be great leaders and great characters at same time. When you are winning all and suddenly not, its hard to adjust. Some do, some dont.

It was after. Said that we scored the goals from counter-attacking situations when none of them were. He must have been hurt by the sight of us going to a team managed by Guardiola and destroying his side on the break as devastating as we did, something that he has never quite achieved against Guardiola. And not to mention, even if we don't play on the front foot under Conte, at least there's still desire to play on the break and go for the goals. With Mourinho? Granted, our players' average/poor decision making doesn't help at times but mostly, we set up way too defensively and didn't have any ambition to win the big games - especially away from home.
