Made plans to watch the game tomorrow. Just realized its actually today and I will be on a flight for more or less the entire game.
I would tease him a lot and say things like: 'You won't score against me, Ronnie, you know it. Ask the reserve goalie, that's better for your confidence.' "He'd get agitated and reply: 'No, no. You've got to go in goal!' Cristiano is a really good guy, however, and the common perception of him is not a true reflection of his personality." Edwin quote
De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Young; Matic, Fellaini; Lingard, Sanchez, Rashford; Lukaku. Subs: Romero, Lindelof, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Darmian, McTominay.
I don’t know. It’s an emotional response but the end product just isn’t consistent enough for the squad we put on the field.
Deflecting blame onto the club is simply unacceptable when it’s clear to all that the reason for exiting is Mou playing with the handbrake on. We were clearly the better side and the manager didn’t allow the players to show it.
I think today might be a bit easier to take if he hadn't made the comments, hadn't made comments like Liverpool was just another game then you sprinkle it on with some of the losses this year have been inexcusable, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Bristol City and needing a hail mary against Palace? Not to mention the embarrassing trip to Wembley. Then you throw in the steaming pile of shit Sanchez has been, mix that with Micki has put stats up over at the Emirates and top it off with the complete importent 173 minutes against Sevilla...fuck him
Every word of this is correct http://global.espn.com/football/blo...sevilla-demonstrates-mourinho-is-out-of-touch
Firmly in team #MourinhoOUT Nothing you can do domestically this year, City is having one of the all time great seasons. But losing at home to Sevilla in round of 16 is unacceptable, and I think Mou's tactics are to blame for it. Fuck this.
I don't understand why Fellatio started over Pogfam and Mata? Why is Sanchez continued to be run out there when he is lost? To me should have subbed Martial in for Sanchez after the piss poor first half. Why start Rashford on the fight after he looked so studly on the left on Saturday? Maybe I'm seeing things through red glasses but I can't fathom why we play defensive football when our back four is rubbish.
Supposedly this is what Mou said in the locker room post game: Instead, according to The Times, he shouldered the blame and told the players not to feel down about the defeat as it was on him. "When we win, we all win," the Portuguese manager reportedly told his team, adding: "When we lose, I lose alone." Makes me want to forgive him but
At this point what can we expect to change? Season is going down the toilet, hes stubborn as shit, and the Glazer's are fully committed to him still.
All just to deflect blame from his tactics in both legs, which are solely the proximate cause of getting knocked out. It’s embarassingly obvious.
And to deflect blame on players as well (although he will blame players too when he wants) Let’s not pretend it was solely tactics when the players were shit too besides lukaku
