The Mourinho Thread

[BoyBlue96 990]

Hope Spurs give him a bad time this weekend...

 

Would love to see him in the witchhunt Van Gaal was in last year.

It's amusing that the only time Mourinho has been able to blow his trumpet this season is after United win a Europa League game. And his latest stance is that no one has been playing better than them in their last few matches. For someone who usually cares more about results than performances, he sure has moaned a lot about how his team's performances have not produced the results.

Wow, Mourinho is becoming the Donald Trump of football. He worries so much about what others say about him and so insecure that can't resist to respond, even if its a lie.

The BBC have brought into the propaganda of United dominating and being unlucky, went to check the score at half time (when it was 0-0) and the headline was "Manchester United dominating in Zorya"

To be fair they were completely dominant, but as so many times this season they couldn't stick it in the onion bag

I honestly dont know what happened to him. Jose used to be masterful at building a squad. He knew exactly what type of players to get for each role and he was also amazing at making that player believe he was great at doing what he had to do. Just look how long our Chelsea squad lasted and how similar from 2010-12 Real Madrid still is.

Nowadays it seems he just buys the flavour of the month without a proper plan. Ibra is good? Sign him! Pogba is available? Break the bank! Never doing so with a plan in mind. 

The epl was worse back then, which is why he looked so good. Never was a fan of him.

TBF, United did dominate Zorya, as FB has said. It's just that they didn't create many clear opportunities - their play was pretty ordinary - and it took until a moment of brilliance from Mkhitaryan to break the deadlock.

I know we all criticize Mourinho these days but TBF, he was really good between 2004 and 2010. 'Worse' is the wrong word to describe the Premier League back then. It still has its qualities during those days (remember how the English teams always reach the semi finals and finals in UCL?) but it's just less competitive when you compare it to now. Football has changed from that period, but sadly, Mourinho hasn't changed.

Jose Mourinho says Man Utd deserve more points in the Premier League

Jose Mourinho says it is "unfair" that Manchester United have collected fewer points in the Premier League and is adamant their rivals are not better than his side.

When will he ever learn that all the constant crying and moaning will not get him those lost points?

[bluephoenix 1,131]

It is painful to actually watch Mourinho's press conferences/talks.  It was painful enough when he was with us but now it is even more ...

His tactics will never get him anywhere, when Mourinho is heading a team and their team has 1 goal lead. You can always count on the fact they will concede in the dying minutes of the match. I had that feeling last week and they drew and I was soooo happy.

Like someone said, it is hard to  accept the words performance from his mouth. He is result oriented and if anything he can't be easily out coached. He is in some way boring with his tactics and strategy.

He gets really good players in his first season in and any club, gets them to play their best then second season comes bam, everyone realize that he has no plan on how to move forward. Starts his usual moaning in the media to mask poor results, then moves to blasting his players.

Typical Mourinho.

[Fulham Broadway 17,333]

Theres no reason why Yernited couldn't go on 10 match unbeaten run. Who'd have thought we would win 8 on the bounce after the gooner and bindipper debarcles ? Man U have the players to do that, and Jose seems to have found his team now.

I don't think they will, and more than that I fucking hope they implode - but I'd be wary of taking the piss too much out of Mourinho, like some here.

Sorry mou, I respect you and all for what you did here, but you are now just taking the piss

[Parky 739]

You need to earn the points. No teams deserves anything in this competitive league. Look at what Leicester did last season. Jose talking shit again.

The same thing that happened to Van Gaal, Cappello and many other managers in time.

And what is that?

[Styles 9,790]

I'm yet to see all this dominant, attacking football that they're playing. But he keeps mentioning it and nobody seems to be checking him on it. The media are absolute cowards.

In their defense (cant believe i have just said that) i think they are clearly restricted by higher power on what they are allowed to ask, i mean look at the way Lee Mack has Henry tripping over himself here, no one can convince me the journos wouldn't pull similar tricks if they were permitted as much.

Their ideas get old I guess. Younger managers not only learn from them but also come up with better training and diet programs.

It's not just the journalists, it's the pundits as well. Even people like Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher etc are playing it safe when it comes to criticizing Mourinho and Man United.

Mourinho falls out with MUTV

http://www.redcafe.net/threads/mourinho-falls-out-with-mutv.424459/

The Special One won't do pre- and post-match interviews after falling out with MUTV presenter Stewart Gardner over awkward questions about the Reds’ results

Jose Mourinho is refusing to speak to Manchester United’s in-house television station MUTV.

I can reveal manager Mourinho has withdrawn co-operation for pre- and post-match interviews after falling out with MUTV presenter and commentator Stewart Gardner.

The Special One took exception to questions from Gardner following the 1-1 with West Ham at Old Trafford on November 27 – their fourth home draw in a sequence of disappointing Premier League results.

I understand Mourinho was unhappy with being quizzed on the club’s own TV channel about United’s stuttering league form and made his feelings known to Gardner and the club’s media team after the match.

And for the three games which have since followed - against West Ham in the EFL Cup, the Premier League draw away to Everton and the Europa League win at Zorya Luhansk in Odessa – he has refused to take questions from Gardner.

United insiders believe Mourinho has over-reacted in this instance, frustrated at a damaging run of five draws which have seen his stars lose touch with the title-chasing pack.

Many will point to the spat as more evidence that the 53-year-old is feeling the heat at Old Trafford as he struggles to turn United back into a trophy-winning club.

But it’s not the first time Mourinho has clashed with TV reporters.

While manager at Chelsea, he fell out with the club’s own in-house station Chelsea TV and had spells where he refused to speak to them if he felt he was being criticised unfairly.

He’s in good company at United — former boss Sir Alex Ferguson also on occasions refused to co-operate with MUTV.

The subscription channel is available worldwide and is more of a commercial operation than Chelsea TV.

As such former players including David May, Lou Macari and Mickey Thomas act as pundits – and criticism doesn’t always go down well with managers.

Gardner is a respected figure at Old Trafford, having joined MUTV from the BBC in 2007.

He worked with Ferguson on matchdays and has subsequently dealt with the Scot's successors Louis van Gaal and David Moyes, and staff praise his professionalism and diplomacy.

I understand United's head of communications Phil Townsend has not yet been asked to mediate in the dispute, but sources at the club hope the matter will be resolved soon.

An insider said: “It’s felt the manager has overreacted on this occasion and that’s why he’s refusing to speak with Stewart Gardner.

“The presenters and commentators have to tread a fine line between stating what’s clearly obvious if the team isn’t winning games, but not upsetting the manager or coaching staff.

“Sometimes that’s not always possible and inevitably there will be difficult moments like the present situation. Hopefully it will be resolved very soon.”

United declined to comment.
