The Mourinho Thread

[Adnane 1,101]

A demonstration of how one experience can ruin your whole career, even when you're ( presumably ) top 3-5 managers in the history of the game...

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

From RedCafe. The rags are losing it already  :

He's made some terrible decisions so far. Absolutely shocking that Rooney is still involved, the mind boggles that he has all 3 of Blind Carrick and Herrera on the bench. 

I really want to know what he works on in training. We have no style, no quick movement, no authority on the games we play in, no control even against mid table clubs and constant changing of formations. 

He's shoe-horned various players in (Zlatan is included here) in the hope that their individual moments of brilliance will overshadow the lack of management on his behalf. He's been really really shite and needs to fix it immediately.

[Special Juan 27,421]

He's out of his depth, he's drowning and lifeless.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

This is his record in the last 30+ games. When did Ferguson, Guardiola, Ancelotti, Simeone, Conte or even Wenger sink so low? Mid-table manager? 

P 32 W13 D5 L14   Sure looks like it.

Mass over reaction re Mourinho, imo. These players will inevitably come good, but it's hilarious to see  

[Special Juan 27,421]

This is what you get when you sign a mega star, Rashford keeps answering the question time and time again with goals....but no he will always be second fiddle because the manager want's his "Main men"

 

[DDA 9,690]

His biggest problem is that he alienates players in his own squad. It causes too much hostility among across the entire squad.

Wow. The players just don't buy into Mourinho anymore. He might just be doen as a top level manager. Sttange how he can go from winning everything to having absolutely no respect from the footballing world. 

I think it's more because of your attitude. Very arrogant and such. Talked down on a lot of people. Like we know Wenger is crap but you just don't say straight out and call him a specialist in failure. Lol 

If he was more loving like carlo, people would loved him and admired him. 

Now it's just only a few like that German guy. 😅

Saw his post-match comments and again, so many BS. Put the blame on the players - because they couldn't handle the pressure apparently - and continued with his delusional thinking of they didn't deserve to lose they played well for short spell in the second half.

What a joker. There is absolutely no difference between last autumn's Chelsea and this United. His United. And now there is no more moles in the locker room, no more supposed players that do not want to play for him and that betray his work and whatever other bollocks he said. 

Cracks me up after every post match interview. Thought it would take some time before he starts blaming others for every point dropped, but we're one month into the new season and he's already thrown his players under the bus.

I saw in every interview that he seems to think that everything is fine with him preparing the matches and likes to point out everytime that individual mistakes from the players are what keeps them from winning football matches. Haha. Classy.

Reminds me of: "Sometimes, I find myself thinking that last season I did an amazing job and I brought players to a level that is not their level" 

And then look at Raheem Sterling. He's been gash last season, the ultimate donkey. So, so bad. Look at him now under Guardiola. He is phenomenal.

Guess what Guardiola had to say on this: "Sterling's improvement is all down to him, I have no involvement in that." 

The difference in class between these two is enormous.

I can see him losing the plot again and start blaming everything other than his own inadequacies. He'll lose the dressing room soon enough and at this rate may not even last the whole season in charge lol.

Too early, but things are not looking good for Mourinho this season.

Guardiola is finally in Premier League, and his City side is looking so good and exciting (I'm even watching their games) and is set to dominate the league, while its obvious United got huge problems. The problem is Mourinho is not used to those situations. Chelsea was a UCL semi final and runner up Premier League side when he arrived, Inter was dominating the league, and Real one of the most powerful squads in the game. Ok, when he came back to Chelsea, we were 4th in PL, and the he improved to 3rd, then finally won the league. The problem is he completely destroyed a promissing squad in the process, and when he left the team was actually a botton table side.  

For Mourinho it will be a huge blow if Guardiola becomes a huge success while he fails with United.

He's blamed 5 players in the last 3 weeks

[Fernando 6,453]

Even if he would to get the sack I think some teams will still want him like maybe PSG? 

Anyways too early, things can easily turn around for him at United. 

[DH1988 1,273]

Good to see him blaming his players already and also them looking devoid of any tactical offensive play, carbon copy almost of us.

Also, Pogba flinging his arms around moaning at every misplaced pass or everytime he's tackled is great to see.

Hope for them that they don't, already got a gem in Emry, which should be left alone by the ridiculous French press btw  

[Special Juan 27,421]

This will be his final massive job, I think he's out dated now and very transparent.

It's never too early to sack a manager in this day and age. You can see there is clear friction already....I think dressing room revolt has started already.
