Yoan Gouffran's volleyAnother win for Rafa
Don't think so. We were heavily HEAVILY linked with him, but don't think a move happenedWasn't he on our books for a while?
We wanted him, he didn't want us.Wasn't he on our books for a while?
“In the first half they were much better than us. We started the game bad,” he told Sky Sports.
“We started the game with some players really below their normal level in terms of their concentration and mental availability to play a game of this speed.
“You need to be sharp the way you think and the way you play. One or two players were below that level and the team paid for it.
"Honestly, I have two or three players in the first half who, if the game is now and I know what is going to happen, I don't play them, but this is football and sometimes players disappoint managers and sometimes players give us great surprises.”
Ultimately, though, Mourinho took responsibility.
“Therefore it is my fault, I am the manager and it was my fault because it was my choice.”
Maybe I'm dancing on his grave somewhat prematurely, but losing Manchester derby to Pep at home has got to sting badly and he responded the way he did at Chelsea last season – by ripping into his own players, publicly. It's almost as if the "first season Mourinho" (one who makes gutsy, but correct decisions and quickly builds a winning machine) lasted exactly 3 games and now it jumped directly from 1st season to 3rd season Mourinho.
Didn't see the game, but sounds like all the issues I was talking about before the start of the season – the lack of pace in the front 4 (when Martial and Rashford don't play), Mkhitaryan's ineffectiveness on the wing, Pogba's discomfort with playing in a midfield 2 – are starting to show against good opposition. I can only hope other clubs' managers quickly learn how to beat this United team.
How about splitting the Bundesliga stuff in its own thread, mods?
Back to the EPL, I'm loving Mourinho's post-match comments:

I'm waiting to see what happens when Ginsoak and Slur Bobby Charlton start advising Mourinho on his team selections and tactics.
