It's right that he said it, doesn't mean its actually a thing though.

You're suggesting he might be saying stuff about the board/Levy that isn't true?

Thanks.
Whilst I'm in no doubt these conversations/mandates are regularly discussed and set out by board's, I'm surprised Mourinho has opted to out it like this.
Maybe some self preservation for when he plays a weaker team in one of the games mixed with standard deflection. Possibly even angling that they have left him in this situation so can now decide which way to go.
He's definitely just trying to manage expectations with those comments, given that we could easily lose both of them.
We almost have enough players to play different 11s in each game, though inevitably they would be weaker. Personally I'd prioritise Burnley given we still have a chance of making CL next year, whereas even if we send our best available 11 to Leipzig it might still not be enough to overturn the 1-0 deficit

Doesn't really matter. We'll lose both anyway.
Inclined to agree. Also, if we did overcome Leipzig, what then?
Fairly certain his mandate from the board is top 4 rather then CL win.
That's what I'm worried about....Although his comments haven't really done him any favours in that respect. If he goes stronger today and loses, he's left himself under pressure.

Aren't football manager media conferences similar to party political broadcast, filled with hot air in the hope that they fool the gullible and appease their followers?

no, I’m suggesting he’s saying things to the press that are not true
I think he's just mixed and matched it. If he was prioritising Leipzig, Bergwijn and Dele wouldnt be playing

Can the season just end now?
The whole lack of fully fit players is getting boring now.

It could be 4-2-3-1 with Dier partnering Skipp in midfield
He cant leave them all out.

All missing.
They are probably the 2 he thinks will recover the quickest from the midfield/forward set.
The fact Skipp, Ndom and Lamela are all starting pretty much tells you what you need to know.
Perhaps, though that then forces Dele or Ndombele out wider. I'd be surprised if Dier is moved back into CM given he's looked a lot better recently at CB. Having said that, being surprised is pretty normal with our line-ups at the moment
