Jose Mourinho Rips Performance of Manchester United Attacking Quartet

Adjust Comment Print

Just as with Mourinho, you would not exactly say that everyone loves him, but most people admire the job he has done at Chelsea, and his enthusiasm and charisma too.

"[We had] good chances, lots of half chances that we didn't transform into full chances because of bad decisions or bad control".

"We have to kill matches", a frustrated Mourinho told BT Sport after the full-time whistle.

"In my poor English I can not find a better word [than sloppy]. We made sloppy decisions, we had sloppy touches on the ball and then we gave them opportunities to have counter-attacks".

By that, I mean the way Conte has been the outstanding manager this season with his results and how he has implemented his style of play to build a team that is exciting to watch and a threat going forward.

"For sure we will face a really strong team because Manchester United are a really good team, physically and technically very strong, and for this reason we must pay great attention", Conte added.

In addition, Haley said that Trump will try to defeat ISIS and prevent Iran from influencing the situation in Syria. Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the USA strike as "act of aggression" and said it violated worldwide law.

Man United's first real chance of the night came in the 17th minute when Zlatan Ibrahimovic's blocked effort from a Rashford cross fell to Lingard, but the England worldwide could only hit the post from close range as the visitors passed up two big chances to take the lead in Brussels. They stick to it, they do it very well. "We put all together the performance of two or three of our attacking players and you squeeze not much juice out of it and the people behind were not focused".

"We've got to kill teams off and we were in control of the game but we didn't do that. We start the game at Old Trafford in front, but we had all the conditions to kill the game".

Mourinho praised Shaw's display against Sunderland, where the defender came off just after the hour mark and was given a handshake and pat on the back by his manager. But then when the team is broken, because we go to counter attack, we can not lose so many balls because it's not just about the chances we missed because we didn't miss so many chances, it's about half-chances.

"I hope for them to be the best player of the year and also I want them to win the league".

It was a damning assessment from the long-serving midfielder, albeit Carrick knows the result is "not the end of the world" given Mkhitaryan's away goal.

Mourinho returned fire after the 1-0 loss by pointing out that "Judas is number one" in Chelsea's record books, although he insists Sunday's encounter is like any other match.
