Mourinho criticizes players and Ref after Derby Loss

[felarey]

He don start.

I think he is in the right.

That was a Penalty IMO and also his players were pathetic.

It wasn't a pk. Perfect side footed tackle by Bravo. One problem with a good manager like Jose is over analyzing and over planning for every possibility. Some players won't respond well due to over thinking things as opposed to just playing their natural game. In any event, Jose shouldn't have blamed the 2 chaps who were subbed at HT.

Seriously?!! Studs up high lunge at a player, ball or no ball, anywhere in football, anywhere on the continent is a red card. Forget that he got the ball or what impact it had on Rooney or the game. There are legitimate means to play the game and a studs up high lunge is not one of them. The act on it's own is illegal. Mourinho is 100% spot on. This is like a player kicking out, fails to make contact and you say he's done nothing wrong. Anyway we all watch games with a myriad of motivations that sometimes cloud our reasoning.

Can't really fault Mourinho for what he said.

Should he have said it, is a whole different matter.



Players are well compensated not to do their own part.

Studs up? Watch the slow motion replay again. There was NO studs up. It was a side foot tackle that looked bad because Bravo went went in with both feet. But when you re-watch it you'll see it was one foot challenge with the side of his foot that got all of the ball before Rooney and zero contact on Rodney's ankle. Good call by Mark.

But this was otherwise on José. He loves to play for the results in big games and sometimes it goes south on him.

Pray tell how this is a legitimate way to play football in 2016. That is the definition of an agricultural tackle. He should have been sent off for being such an agbero. Trust me, had that been Butler or Hart, it's straight up early showers. Lunging two feet into a tackle is illegal talkless studs up.

Sir, that's studs up and a penalty in Sambisa Forest, Casablanca, Fortaleza, Dallas, Manchester, Canberra, Abu Dhabi and Reykjavic whether the team is Enugu Rangers, Chelsea, Corinthians, Beijing FC, Spartak Moscow or River Plate. In fact that is 2 back-to-back penarities in Ibadan

I said it once and I'll say it again. Pogba seems to be more entertaining off the pitch than on it.

[YUJAM]

Pogba is world class. He did it week in and out at Juve

He needs to be played further up the pitch

[anikulapo]

Wow pure evil

The most expensive player in the world was in my opinion the poorest player on the field. Kudos to Mourinho. Money well spent.

[chendosplastic]

Can't JMo just say vee played badly, vee lost, and then take any blames to his dressing room or training session? Must he diss his players in public?

They do need a kick up their backside though, something that LVG didn't to enough to his demise.

Ferguson never used to hesitate when player performance was bordering on mediocre.

For the money spent it's fair to expect individual talent to get you out of tricky spots.

The writer is picking and choosing quotes to match an agenda. Anyone who watched the interview will know Mou blamed himself the most.

[metalalloy]

And welcome to an all new episode of the "I win, they lose" show starring Jose Mourinho.

Good manager but his pre and post game shtick is getting is so stale.

[metalalloy]

He needs to be played further up the pitch

They looked better in the second half when Mourinho pushed him up

Mourinho needs to pull his finger out and stop playing Felliani next to Pogba.

Preferably Schneiderlin or buy a new defence midfielder or put Carrick.

[Comrade Machel]

This short clown don start,hopefully his players turn on him and force him out like Chelsea players did.
He is Pep official wife,no shame in that,he should man up and accept that.

Exactly. Wenger is however official wife to Pep and Mourinho

He only blamed himself to the extent that he made the choice to play those guys. He never blamed his tactics - which many pundits are saying were wrong.

[marko]

Mistakes were made, Mourinho relied on 2 players that let him down badly, it could have been a different outcome if the players who started the 2nd half started the first 45 mins, Rashford would have given city a lot of problems, the team were more balanced but the deed had already been done, man united looked rattled, like i said, this was probably the best result for united and Mourinho, he now has an overview of the players, for me the likes of rooney needs to be dropped, he does not offer anything in the game

[tfco]

txj's obsession with all things United and Mourinho continues

I wish that Arsenal had actively gone after Pep.

Imagine how he would have transformed Arsenal from Barcelona-lite to Barca on steroids. Kai
