Mourinho's done right?


He'll get another season I'd assume, but I doubt they'll back him with much money in the summer.

That would fit his narrative pretty well wouldn't it, gets little money then blames that on any underperformance for his last season. Wonder where he goes from here though, id imagine PSG if they don't get Potch

Sanchez has been absolutely awful since joining, his stats for giving the ball away in nearly every game he's played are up there with the worst in the league. Pogba looks like he doesn't give a shit anymore, hasn't exactly been great since coming back anyway and certainly not worth anywhere near the price they paid but last night other than one shot that went wide, he either kicked the ball out and passed to the opposition. And just think those two players have got to be at least costing the club around £3m a month in wages alone, thats without any bonuses added, though i wouldn't imagine either are doing too well in that sense. As for Mourinho, his comments after the game last night were unbelievable, praising the players for their intensity etc during both games, well he's either completely lost the plot or was watching a different game to the rest of us? He sets his teams out to defend and play deep, there is never any real intensity unless the team goes behind and then they are allowed to go and attack. Utd have the players to be a very good attacking team, but a manager that has absolutely no idea how to put a team together to play that way.

If you're PSG you steer well clear of him I think.

After his time at Madrid he's completely ''lost it'' and by that I mean he's extremely negative and not even in a functional sense. He always had a plan at Porto, Chelsea and Inter, always had a clear present and future plan, usually had a team built on a solid defence with great wingers to turn a game in a moment. He's got Martial, Mata, Rashford and Sanchez at United and has somehow managed to make them look like hungover lads on a muddy Sunday league pitch.

He's lost it I think. Hasn't involved with the game and unfortunately I don't think he ever will.

I'd argue if we could get our side playing properly we'd match City results, not the football, as that's Pep possession based, but we'd be as good attacking and more physical with the players we've got and we've real pace up front. Unfortunately Jose doesn't want to play that way. I think he'll be gone by Christmas next season tbh as results will only get worse as players don't bother/enjoy playing in that system and the board won't give him 100-200 million to go buy more players.

Also Pogba doesn't give a fuck. Sure why should he? He must be banking 20-25 million a year with wages and endorsements. It isn't about playing ball anymore, he did that at Juventus and now he'll just ride the gravy train with a new haircut every week. Sure after United it'll be on to PSG or one of the Milan sides or back to Juventus.

Nice to see the Liverpool fans trying to get our clubs kicked out of Europe again. Absolutely drives me mad how we hear so much about how they were wrongly accused at the Hillsborough disaster (and rightly so) yet Heysal is never ever mentioned. Its as if that night has just been erased from the memory of everyone.

I wouldn't be absolutely shocked, but as much as I can see us scoring a few against them I can't see us not conceding.

If Madrid beat Bayern I can't see either of the other two being able to beat Madrid.

They've big game and Champions League final experience, they'll handle it better and Ronaldo seems to be back to his best now too.

Pretty happy with last nights result, sloppy final ten minutes though conceding twice, the second was dubious, I'm not sure its a penalty but being a Liverpool fan I would say that. Take a three goal advantage to Rome, you'd think we'd be through as long as we score one away goal and I can't see us not scoring there so fingers crossed.

In not such good news: Liverpool fan left critically injured hope this fella pulls through!

Scumbags. The lot of them. Was there last night, walking past the away turnstiles after seeing the bus in, they were throwing bottles. Once inside, lost the amount of times someone did the knife signal to me. Just hope everyone travelling down there next week is safe and travels in numbers.

Referee was shite btw, not necessarily for the pen but just all night. Should still be through

If you'd been offered a 3 goal lead for the second leg you'd have taken it 100%.

Liverpool will only have themselves to blame if they don't go through, but I can't see them not scoring an away goal.

That front 3 is the best in the Premier League since Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo. Just pace and goals, goals, goals.... Be tough keeping them all together!!

I reckon that if we win Champions League we will keep them and strengthen the team for a title fight next season.

Ox now confirmed as out for the rest of the season, so potentially a Chapions League final!

Also out of the World Cup. Not a great night for him.

Quite possible.

Depends on the players I suppose. The wage increase available at Barcelona, Madrid, PSG and Bayern I'm sure is massive, but perhaps being happy at a club, liking a manager and a new deal could keep them all there. I do think it'll be impossible to keep Salah if he's an amazing World Cup and Madrid come calling.

Yeah horrible timing and horrible considering he was beginning to show how good a player he can be.

So unlucky for Oxlade-Chamberlain missing a World Cup and in all likelihood a Champions League final. Hopefully he still gets the chance to play in both in the future.

Happy Roma got the two late goals to keep the tie just about alive but before then it was an absolute nightmare, the high line was a disaster. Worked against Barca but they can't get in behind like Liverpool and it's odd Di Francesco didn't know that or at least didn't change it at HT.
