PietroRico: actually it did. After that red card, the plan was simple and short. Keep them out and we did. We basically reduced you guys to long rangers from azpi and Co. You don't lose a knock out game If you don't concede. dab lord's lackadaicity that culminated in him failing to close down that ugly, short and long foreheaded drug lord, undid the plan
Had that game entered extra time, Lord Fellaini would have finished you off from route 1 football when you had all finished you energy.
Any of these hipster managers would have continued to attack and then chop 3/4 in the process. Yes I'm sure 1-0 is different to 3-0 in FA Cup knockout round. Jose's pragmatism sees you guys with a chance in the return leg, no? |

PietroRico: It's just a shame that pragmatic managers who are capable of setting their team up to actually defend are now seen as old school because of hipster managers who can't vary their teams approach to save their lives.
I just don't see how a simeone, mourinho or a conte will enter into 2nd leg away tie with a 2 goal advantage, playing a Dm and 5 attackers How did Pragmatism help Mourunho on Monday?  |

donjazet: Please you guys must note that I am not defending mourinhos words or actions, I am simply being objective and plain devoid of sentiment or bias. People are reacting as though they're surprised by mourinhos actions or words and I am only pointing out that it is not new, it should be expected from him, it is his style , a style which we were accustomed to and which we liked. Calling him an S.O.B right now is awkward because despite all these, it still has to be pointed out that what he achieved here was immense. He has always been a jerk_ but he was our jerk_ . Just ignore the guy and don't fall for his antics. Remember you said you weren't sure if you would follow Jose to Manyoo when he got sacked. That's why I think you keep missing the obvious in front of you. Mind games are only useful to a manager when there's a small gap between him and his rivals. That's when the mind games can help provide that tiny competitive edge. There's 17 points between us and them. When we faced Manyoo in the league and there were only 2 points between us, THAT would have been the perfect time to play mind games...instead Jose was more conciliatory in pre-match comments. Chelsea have won four Premier League titles in their history. Three of them were won with me and the other one was won by the team I left behind. I took them to Wembley, I took them to Cardiff, I took them to cup finals. So there is a connection based on empathy – but built on success.
“In the end, when my last two or three months at the club were a period of bad results, the fans kept that empathy and remembered our relationship. That is something I don’t forget. And that is something I will always be grateful about because, with me, they have always behaved in a fantastic way.” Back then he believed he could get the win. We had recently just been humiliated back to back by our rivals in the top 4, and even though we won our next two against Hull and Leicester, Jose was confident - Afterall Manyoo put 4 past Leicester only 2 weeks before too, and did not lose to the free attacking Liverpool that had showed us pepper. After he came to the bridge on the day of his supposed triumphant return, Conte sent him back to Manchester with a goal for Jose, one for his wife, and one each for his two kids, Jose immediate lost the happy friendly attitude in his post match comments. Mourinho, speaking in Italian, appeared to tell Conte he should behave like that “at 1-0, not at 4-0”, and suggested he had actually been seeking to humiliate him in front of his former fans. And that's when it started. Chelsea have advantage with fixture list over other clubs Chelsea are now being praise for counter attack footy, they did do that when I was there. Chelsea are lucky they don't play in Europe When Costa wanted to go to China, 'some people think they are important enough to decide other peoples futures, i dont' And so on. That 4-0 was where the love died bro. If you weren't first and foremost a Jose fan, you would have seen that instanta |

Nothing like mind games here, Jose is lashing out because this is the first time he's managing in England outside the bridge, and Chelsea are doing far better than him.
He's especially annoyed because he was sacked for poor performance last year from this same Chelsea in a season where he believed he was betrayed by his players
If you pay attention to his general comments at the start of the season, when he was talking about How he came to Manyoo to challenge for the title and not make top 4, how he got 3 of the 4 players he wanted before August, and how Pogba was the missing piece, it becomes obvious that he never expected to be stuck in 6th place as of today. And he especially did not expect to be looking up at the same Chelsea he was looking to prove a point to in 1st.
Jose made the comment last year that he took a group of average players and over achieved with them. Can you imagine how irritated he must feel seeing Conte taking the 'average Joe's who over achieved' back to 1st place?
On his 1st return to the bridge where he was going to show Chelsea what we were missing, he got disgraced 4-0.
He came back again and got beat yet again, this time getting dumped out of the cup.
Forget mind games, Jose is pisssed to the high heavens.
And I love it! |

Griffon: Shakespeare is seriously writing some love stories at Leicester.
Are we seeing a Di Matteo-esque feat?
Personally, i think they dont have the players with that strong character, players who can take on the best legs Europe has got to offer. Give Leicester either of Bayern, Real or Barca, and watch 'em crack at every pressure. Bayern please |

I don't know, but it's obvious that he doesn't want to be tied down by a club with Europa league qualification ambitions, and I say good luck to him. He's 23 years old and in the form of his life. Next season should take him to bigger and better things(and club), I pray. |

ChristineC: Interesting. I hope your guyn name is not twista? Not at all. My guy name is Mr. verbatimChristineC: I don't care what eulogies he get, from where I am standing; Local records all round.
If you are expecting goals and assists from midfielders to justify anything, I see no reason we can't expect the same from goalkeepers, especially when my record tells me that some goalkeepers managed to rake in more career goals than some outfield players. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 2:38pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
Well ChristineC kuku said Pogba does not need to score or assist, since Buffon never did so.
And PietroRico said he would have been willing to pay up to 120m for Pogba.
So it's all good. Y'all fans need to stop complaining. |

raumdeuter: nihilist fbs ibime donjazet, diggz, other chelsea fans
I will like to hear your opinion about the Conte vs Mourinho feud Jose is just petty as fück. He's the equivalent of the bitter ex-boyfriend who used to tell his girl she could never do better, and she went and bagged a better looking guy with a bigger wallet who is better in bed. The way he keeps talking about Chelsea and Conte is ridiculous. "When I was at Chelsea, defensive football was bad, now it is art" "Until another coach wins 4 titles, I am number 1" "Conte inspired the fans against me" "I must wear Ranieri's initials on my shirt because I understand the unfairness of being sacked due to player betrayal" When you also consider that he even said Pogba was the best player on the pitch last night, the situation becomes even clearer. Jealous Ones Still Envy. |
