Match Day Thread Vs Man Utd (H)

Mourinho doesn't just park the bus, he lets the air out of the tyres

 

And yet that parked bus has managed to score 21 league goals this season, oh, and one decent team actually managed to score 2 against it as well.
How many goals has the expansive attacking German`s team scored so far?

 

As has already been pointed out, all the more reason for you to have gone for the win instead of chickening out. Definitely two points that got away.
Faint heart never won fair Premier League.

 

I think Jose has three

 

Thing is, he didn’t need 3 points against Liverpool. United are already in a very good position and they got a point away from Home against a rival.

 

Plus if you watched the game, we simply couldn't control or pas the ball for some reason and Smalling spread fear right through the defence by smashing everything up field or out of play.
If we had tried to play yesterday you would have won quite easily, we were just not there.

 

If my team was on a roll and came up against a team struggling for form, I'd expect nothing less from them than to go for the throat. I'd be really pissed off if they played like that.
Let's see if those 2 points make a difference later on, along with the other points dropped every time he comes up against anyone half decent and takes the cowardly route.

 

Amazing what money can buy.

 

Yep, tell it to FSG

 

They haven't got enough.

 

I thought they were a massive corporation

 

I will leave this now, may be going "off topic" and beyond football matters.

 

Yeah, so their money is tied up in their investments and not all in readies stuffed in suitcases. All legitimately accounted for, unlike that of, oh - Russian gangsters, for instance.

 

Yep I agree - don’t get me wrong, I’d expect us to go for the win against any team regardless of our form.

But mourinho has made his career from this set up - destroying the lesser teams but then not giving anything to the rivals.

 

Yeah but look where it's gone wrong.

He walked into best team in England, Chelsea 2004 who were all set up prior to his arrival, he managed to **** that up. He walked into inter, best team in Italy, grew grass long to beat Barca and then he managed agsin to **** that up after that season. He went to real and was ****e, two team league and Barca hammered his team til Messi was injured.... comes back to chelsea manages somehow to end up 10th after winning league....

The pattern of delivering then it all going to total ****e is clear.... he's not one to appoint for the long term health of your club.

 

I am not surprised that Mourinho went for the draw. He has always been over cautious and unless his team is clearly superior he will go defensive. In this case, he worked out that with some of his key players missing, he'll take a point being the away side.

However, Klopp doesn't get off scot free. Ok, we may not have been on form. But we would have had a massive boost with a win and 3 points against a top side. We were on top in the second half, pounding them and knocking at the door. He could have gone for it in the last 15-20 minutes. What did he do? he went defensive and settled for a draw.

When the dust settles, we have one point at home to a weakened manc side and we have lost ground in the table. Anyone believes the mancs would be weaker at Old Trafford and play the same defensive way?

 

Yes they will btw. They will keep it tight against all of the top 6 based on not losing.

If thry can grab one goal and defend they will 100%

 

I am not saying he'll go on an all out attack frenzy at home. That is not his way. But with the exception of may be City, I doubt he will settle for one point in a home game. He will not care whether he does it by defending a 1-0 lead for 89 minutes or putting on an extra striker at 0-0 in the 88th minute. It is all about points for him and the final table and a draw at home will be 2 points lost.

 

I'll bet city, Chelsea, spurs and us he will make sure he just will not lose. Arsenal he might just beat up on but probably not. He does hate wenger.

As I said the one or two chances does him on the basis that they will just defend.

 

What the **** were you on?
