Jose's press con after Juve game.

Suggested that he didn't want the players to sit off Juve

He said something along the lines of, "they didn't allow us to be positive like we had planned... they hid the ball well. In the second half, we were much better, more aggressive.. etc"

Is it possible that Jose does want players to press the ball but they were intimidated by Juve's technical players and calmness under pressure on the ball?

Very strange. Apparently Real Madrid still Fancy Mo. I would love to be a fly on the wall in training to see how he's actually setting up the team.

It's always possible, but it looked for all the world a deliberate tactic. And it's kind of Jose's thing to do in games against big teams. Perhaps he didn't mean for them to sit off that much.

Hard to know what we're trying to do tactically.

What I do know is that when we did press ever so slightly, we had fleeting moments of joy.

"We knew the club would move in that direction, very good players, players from Barcelona. So that is the level which Everton wants to reach. Their ambitions are very similar to OUR ambitions.”

When has Man Utd's ambitions been the same as the Ev???

We never press the ball... Ever... It's nothing to do with being intimidated... We've a team of seasoned internationals ffs, world cup winners, why would they be intimidated

They didn't hide the ball either... They ran through us with it

No it isn't possible.

Is anyone surprised by his comments?

Jose does not take the blame for anything, it's getting embarrassing for him.

But Luke Shaw came out and said we paid them too much respect in the first half.

They were the better side regardless and controlled in every aspect of the game.
