The Mourinho Thread

[Leif 6,006]

Mou's more invested in United's future and the potential future image of himself, than he is invested in the current reality of that club/his image. For as long as he refuses to work on what needs working on today, he will keep falling short in red.

The big majority of the ManUtd fans will. They all claim they play much better, "attacking" football under Mourinho than under Louis van Gaal.

 

Wait...that last quote? They criticize Conte while they have the Special Need One as manager? They truly are the worst, deluded fans in England. 

 

Sorry, the last paragraph was a statement I made. I don't know how that got mixed up in the quote. I was saying that we criticize Conte sometimes but we can clearly see the difference in attacking between our team now than under Mourinho. The performances against  rostov both home and away were regular occurrences.

Do they really expect Mourinho to attack teams, even when his side has the advantage?

Exactly, he always brings on fellaini or mikel to close out games instead of going for the next goal. It has cost them points against Everton, Arsenal, Stoke and almost conceded in the last minute yesterday. He still hasn't changed this cautious approach. And eventually many manutd fans will be frustrated by this.

Somebody should mention to Mourinho we played 68 games in 2012/13 and Benitez didn't moan about it. Man United will play only 63 at most come end of the season.

He's right about the PL not helping teams playing in Europe but overall, if he's not happy about the fixture congestion, just send a weak team out and get KOed early. Simple. He's talked so much about United tradition of winning matches, winning trophies and then turned around to moan about having to play too many games.

Maybe this is all part of his siege mentality and if it is, he should try to come up with a better BS than this.

He's taken it a step further. I read somewhere he claimed fixture scheduling is conspired against United. Just like there was a "campaign" against us. What an idiot. If there is conspiracy or campaign against someone it is Jose, because as soon as he left we haven't had nearly as much controversies and no reason to suspect any "campaign" against us. And United have always been FA's darlings, if they are not anymore, then it's because of him.

Just saw a news item on a Dutch football website with the headline quoting Mourinho with him saying "We have many enemies as ManUtd."

I'm just lost for words. The manager of ManUtd making a statement like that. The whole siege mentality.  Pathetic. 

I hope he gets sacked by ManUtd ASAP so he'll probably just disappear from English football. Fed up with that guy and his constant moaning.

And now he's sticking his nose into the Karanka situation..
 

Quote

 

During Boro's top-flight clash at Old Trafford in December, Mourinho and Karanka showcased their friendship as they made their way to the dugouts together - but the Spaniard's dismissal yesterday means the pair will not be reunited in this weekend's reverse fixture.

And following the decision, Mourinho has taken a swipe at Boro 's players - saying he "knows the names" of the players who played some role in Karanka 's downfall

When asked if he felt player power played a part in Karanka's dismissal, Mourinho added: "In this case, I know the names."

Great point. I will quote this line in some debates that I'm having right now with some United friends, haha.

Keane isn't really in any position to question team spirit. The bloke's man management skills were dreadful he's a misanthrope. When he was the Ipswich manager he invited all the players and wives to a barbeque and then sat on his own and didn't talk to a single person there.

True, but he's still respected by a lot of United supporters and it's one United voice that is speaking out. It interrupts the siege mentality.

Manchester United are enjoying a long unbeaten run in the league stretching back to October. It has lifted them all the way from 6th to 7th.

^ Still think that's unfair though. United have played 3 less games than Everton, with United playing tomorrow. Wait until after United's game tomorrow THEN make that comment.
