Not sure this team talk will work against West Brom.
We don't want to be the clowns standing there, watching West Brom celebrate a famous win at OT? Should work.
As I type this, only a 0.1% addition to the Top manager choice.
Detractors must be in hiding. Give the man and the team some credit when you decide to come back.

They're just trying to formulate arguments on why the shite first half performance is more important than the result. Just give it time. They'll be back soon.
Hopefully before kick offI am not
and there is no shame in giving Mourinho huge fecking credit for today. That was a fantastic come backLets hope so!
They are Fractured
That second half,my heart damn. More of that please,please
I’m drunk and I love Jose, deserves next season and backing for that second half alone.
Ah, well let’s hope they can piece themselves back together sometime soon.
I use my last post today to say a big cheers to the manager and team for making my day brighter.
He'll never achieve anything significant at this club, no CL's or PL in sight. Sure, everyone is jubilant after a great comeback but history has taught us that performance level's drive results and that's the sort of game that doesn't end that way 99 times out of a 100, hardly a managerial masterstroke.
Did you not watch us win the league in 12/13?
So when we lose its his fault and when we win, its just down to pure luck.We must have been awfully lucky throughout the season to beat all the teams and on course for >85 point season.
I look at that second half performance today and wonder why we couldn't produce that against Valencia. That kind of desire and commitment needs to be there every game. Don't know if it's the players or the manager
Yeah, what an awful day. Good point.
Good comeback against City but let's not lie to ourselves. City didn't even play their best possible team and still could've been 5-0 by halftime. This win was a lucky one but maybe it will change Jose's perspective on how to play football, especially against top sides. United, in the second half, were at least on the same level with City when the lads started to actually play football.
There is clearly potential and with some additions to the squad, there will be PL and CL winning material. Even though I was really pissed by Sevilla defeat, which by the way were crushed 4-0 by Celta, I think Jose should get another season. The CL knock out stage was an awful performance for United but considering that the team is on top 3 in the league since the first week and the fact that there is still a possibility of winning a trophy, i think it's fair to say that the team progressed since last year, which couldn't be said about LVG second season, when the team performance level regressed.

He does get credit for today but I am still not hundred percent sold on him due to other games. Today, well done.
Redcafe has me believe every win is lucky.
Can we ban the word Sevilla from this forum? Its been analysed to death and its just a lazy way way to reinforce prejudice at this stage.
Like mentioning selling KDB as if he sold every flair player he's ever had.

exactly that wins you the title or at least challenges to the wire and we have been 1st-2nd all season. If that is not performance levels that drive a season I don't know what the feck is. Some real idiots out there.
Not trying to be a hater or something like that, but honestly, that win was lucky, Sterling's sitters when the score was 2-0, hitting the post in the final minutes, De Gea miraculous save against Aguero led me to say that the win was a lucky one. Just my opinion

I guess you’re still bummed at being sent back to Everton. Then getting subbed.
Jose already won a European cup that we’d never won before and a league cup in his 1st season. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that we could finish on 89 points.
Sevilla was a terrible blip, but that was on the players too.
Both players and the manager deserve credit for that comeback against city.
By the way you’re going on, you’ve got years of misery ahead of you.

Have City been lucky scoring worldies to win games in the dying seconds of games all season? Luck is involved in every aspect of the game, every win is in some way 'lucky'. A striker scoring a goal could just as likely be a miss.
And the word Seville, which is more annoying because the club's name is SEVILLA. It's so annoying to see people complaining about 'that' match against Seville, well no wonder why We lost since We had a match against the entire city and not the football club.
I agree. Game was a month ago.
Which history? are you guys inventing your own history now to proof how shit Jose is? give it a break. We know He's shit and He's not one to lead the club, for you.
The bolded part is questionable, unless if you're also an Oracle that somehow could foresee the future.
How exactly is a team missing chances lucky? Surely that is poor finishing.
How is a goalkeeper making a save lucky? That's what he's paid to do.
I guarantee if we lost the way Man City did, most would be piling onto the manager and would not say we were unlucky. And the reason why I can say this is because it already happened earlier in the season.
When we drew with Leicester 2-2, we should have scored 4-5 goals. Martial skied an easy 1v1 and Lingard missed an open net after rounding the keeper. But, after that game the manager got slated for being tactically outdated (because that's what always happens after a loss, ireespective of what actually happened during the game).

That’s from last years Europa campaign, but he will have been as equally delighted today with that.
We're deeply sorry that luck went our way.
How can you come out with this crap today?
Hope we do a 180 on thinking our players are rubbish. Sevilla (last 10 minutes), Chelsea, Crystal palace, some of our best spells this year have come when we are forced to attack and when we do the difference is night and day
hopefully next season Jose manages to get his desired players and has more confidence & trust on his players to play more attacking football. his players and himself have to be more confident and not give a lot of respect to opponents. well, actually I dont really care how we play our football as long as we win in each match. just be more confident because this team is fantastic.
Bingo
Valencia, Smalling, Young. These players always start hoofing the ball under any sort of pressure and that’s the biggest problem. Replacing them is a top priority in summer.
The biggest thing Mourinho and the team showed today is character and I usually hate bringing things like spirit or character into a football performance. Maybe there was even a bit of the heritage he spoke about in our second half performance today. It was interesting listening to him talk about he asked the defenders to come out and play in the second half and the wingers to come inside to offer solutions and make sure we keep the ball. He even mentioned how we did not concede possession as much as other teams do. The fans talking about a possible change in approach after the Brighton game might be onto something but again you look at how we started and it was the old typical safety first performance. Hard to really know what was part of a plan and what just happened due to circumstance. What's not hard to tell however is that the spirit and feeling inside the club between manager and players cannot be questioned and is as high as anybody else in the league.
The most encouraging thing for me is that we've done a lot to address issues that we had last year. We haven't dropped as many points in matches we should have easily won, we've played much better vs the top 6, and we're scoring more. There are fewer obvious shortcomings and if we can keep on this trajectory, we should expect next year to include a genuine title challenge, a deep CL run, and a trophy. Works for me.
Isn't that a myth anyway? From what I understand, Mourinho wasn't the one to hold the talks with KDB. The Chelsea hierarchy negotiated with him and decided to let him go, not Mouirnho.
Not sure this team talk will work against West Brom.
Hopefully Conte won't get triggered this time.
Changed my vote from the second to the top. Let’s see how we get on next season. We’ve improved and we’ve shown we have positives to build on at least.
