It happens every time Jose has an away game
I don't even get his logic, it's not a title race between just United and Liverpool so a draw actually helps out the rest of the potential champions the most.
Both posts are drivel. One from an idiot and another from one who likes to masquerade as one.
Sigh.
Bless.
Neither post is drivel. These are two of the biggest clubs in Europe and every time they play each other it’s gooseberry fool to watch. Mourinho always sets his teams up to spoil in the big games. That’s just true.
Sorry got confused it was your post before that provoked my ire. Because it’s idiotic and entirely consistent with the drivel you post.
United approach and tactics were spot on for that fixture and that opposition.
It was their execution of those tactics in attack that was poor. No doubt.
Your ‘what Mourinho is and what United are’ post is entirely in line with your headline slogan bullshit that you continually spit out.
Nonsense.
Well, maybe I went too far saying this is who Man Utd are, but it’s certainly a reflection of who Mourinho is. This was a Liverpool there for the taking but he didn’t want to get his team to take the game to them. strawberry floating Burnley managed to ruffle them and actually score the other week but a team with Man Utd’s talents only turned up to frustrate and strangle the life out of the game and didn’t manage a single shot on target for the entire second half because they weren’t interested.
If Man Utd tried to win this game they probably would have. Liverpool are in gooseberry fool form and Utd should have been riding on a wave of confidence and scoring freely. Going there with the sole aim of not losing shows a bit of a small-time mentality, wouldn’t you say?
Uniteds plan was to nullify Liverpool’s attack and hit them on the counter. On paper we had enough goal threat to hurt them. But as I’ve said repeatedly we were poor in possession and gave the ball away.
We were sloppy and didn’t really get going offensively. That is down to the players.
The plan and tactics were spot on. The execution is where they were lacking.
His first two substitutions were both attack minded and only the third one was designed in keeping the point.
Hope that clears it up for you.
Is Mourinho the cavalier attack minded manager that Fergie was or Wenger or even Pep is? No. He’s not. But we have scored a lot of goals this season and made a great start. Mourinho is very good at winning and getting results. It’s a results business after all.
City are favourites and you can’t see past them but it’s only October.
You might just end up with gooseberry fool in your hands (as you so quaintly put it).
Whether that gooseberry fool comes from your arse or your mouth is a subject for debate.
