Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 7th October 2018]

[The Running Man]

Mourinho having a breakdown, decided McTominay is better in defence than Bailly and putting Mata on to make our chances even worse.

Youth will always find a way..

 

[Kelt]

Who is he going to scapegoat?

Well he blamed the police the other day, it's the stewards turn today.

 

[Purdy]

Anthony Taylor letting manu away with a lot of poor challenges, nearly resulted in a goal too

When a player is obviously not trying?

 

[fez]

So I’m sticking with Mourinho. The players aren’t trying which shows an utter lack of respect for the fans. Utter disgrace.

Funny how exactly the same thing happened at Chelsea. Managers almost never lose the players in this way. Mourinho is just reaping what he has sewn with 2 years of throwing players under the bus, thinking of no-one but himself and failing to coach the team to have any style or method to their play.

Corrected

 

[Purdy]

The notion that players aren’t trying is hilarious, if they weren’t trying it would be A LOT worse

Funny how they re all extremely privileged millionaires. There are ways of doing things. Is this acceptable to you?

 

[Robbo]

Part of the managers job is to keep the players happy and on board, Mourinho just can't do this (nowadays).

Just as well as he’s not leaving!

I'm sorry but do you seriously think that people who are wealthy don't have the same issues as normal people? At what salary should you expect to be miserable and hate your job and endure a horrible manager?

Is it OK if they are only get paid £20k/week for them to give 80% instead of 100%?

How should they go about showing their dislike of playing under Mourinho?

I said this to the Mrs.

If Rashford's header had gone in, it would have been a bit harsh.

 

[Robert]

If I had an issue at work, I wouldn’t just down tools. It just isn’t acceptable.

 

[No1newts]

Enjoying this so far, still expecting to lose 7-2 mind

 

[fez]

Apparently not. According to some people the managers job is simply to pick a team and put them on the pitch.

The players are not without blame but Mourinho has to take 80% or more of the blame.

 

[fez]

If I had an issue at work, I wouldn’t just down tools. It just isn’t acceptable.

They haven't downed tools. They aren't refusing to play and they aren't walking around the pitch. They are a bunch of players low on confidence, playing in a **** system where no one really knows what they are doing and all for a manager who will blame anyone else before he considers he isn't the best thing ever.

 

[Mark1989]

Laughable how any one defends Jose, his history shown time and time again he treats players like **** and never his fault.

No one disputes he brings trophies, but he also leaves a mess

 

[mmj_uk]

De Gea stopping it from being 3-0.

 

[Irish_Tom]

De Gea stopping it from being 3-0.

So close!

 

[Robbo]

The reality is that once you have the money, you'll have other problems. You have to put what they are paid to one side and think of it tactically and psychologically (when it comes to football in general).
