Do love the insight we get from Mourinho's pressers. The stuff on CM especially was very good.
“I knew that [Tanguy] Ndombele not in the best condition. [Oliver] Skipp, not for a game of that dimension immediately, Eric Dier had played three matches in a row and I felt that Lucas Moura in that forward position could create problems for United. Combination if things but best position for him (Sissoko) is not as one of the double midfield players.”
As suspected he played the Winks/Sissoko partnership on Utd due to lack of options and the decision to use Moura. With hindsight I'm sure he'd change it. Maybe being brave with Skipp would have been better. I suspect he has learned a lot from weds regardless.
Good to see Skipp get a mention from Mourinho
