From want you saw of Ndombele performance against Burnley first half... was Mourinho just in what he said?Well deflected once again José.
Everyone is talking NDombele today. I’d rather focus.From want you saw of Ndombele performance against Burnley first half... was Mourinho just in what he said?
For me it didn't make no sense. The interview started with him saying, I really don't want to, then he couldn't help himself.
On the other hand, some players respond to an arm around them and some need a kick up the backside. The guy at Sheffield United has been known not to hold back and he has excellent team spirit. Jose backed Dier but I guess that whether he gets credit for that depends on one's attitude towards Mourinho.Throwing players under the bus is what he does. He's right in what he said but you just cannot publicly slag players these days unless you want a split dressing room.
Its Chelsea/Man U all over again.
He has learnt nothing.
This isnt going to last long imo.
Levy is never going to admit a large portion of this shambles is his fault (state of the squad) and JM always blames everyone but himself so this is only going one way as far as I can see.

Yep I remember that and I also remember it being discussed on talksport and it was basically 'that's how he operates' but not in a critical manner. It's just a convenient stick to beat Mourinho with. It adds to the ammunition.Chris Wilder called out his keeper earlier in the season...no one said anything.

The point is though that he's not the only manager that will call out a player publicly if he doesn't feel that they are playing to their ability.Man United’s keeper actually. Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if Mourinho called out a loanee
Thing is though that it's not one poor game for him. It's frustrating because we've seen glimpses of what he's capable of.Ndombele has clearly been disappointing all season. But in his defence yesterday, having 5 defenders behind & a defensive mid next to him, with 3 ‘forwards’ 40 yards ahead didn’t half make it difficult for him.
Shocking, shocking line up. I have no problem with 3 centre halves but for fucks sake play wing backs, not 2 more centre halves as full backs.

Got you.Everyone is talking NDombele today. I’d rather focus.
But "we'll see" is really all anyone on here is asking for. I don't know of anyone on here who is a) happy with the current situation or b) a Mourinho fanboy. All I see is people who either want it to be a fait accomplis that he fails and f*cks off or just that he's not given a final judgement based on the last two or three months of a sorry season.With all due respect Sheffield Utd players arent a bunch of well paid prima donnas are they? Its the 100k a week internationals that dont take kindly to be publicly slagged imo.
I'm basing this on what happened at Chelsea and then Man U and also what I've experienced in life. Nobody likes a public slating. Get called into the office and bollocked, fine, and of course people respond differently but I cant imagine anyone in any walk of life improving and putting in more effort after your boss basically says your fkin useless in front of everyone. Its unprofessional.
We'll see.
