SWANSEA, Wales -- Even after Manchester Uniteds four-match winless run in the Premier League ended, Jose Mourinho wasnt happy -- turning on players who missed Sundays 3-1 victory at Swansea. Fake Yeezys From China .There is a difference between the brave, who want to be there at any cost, and the ones for whom a little pain can make a difference, Mourinho said.We have players with problems, he added. I have friends in other sports and they play at the highest level at other sports, and how many times do they play when not 100 percent? I have a friend that is a big tennis player. He tells me he remembers more the time he plays with pain than the time he plays without any pain and thats what I mean. To compete you have to go to the limit.Asked about players not being prepared to play through pain, Mourinho replied: Its a cultural thing for some. Thats not my culture.Mourinho didnt name the players he was aiming his comments at but he had discussed two ahead of the game in south Wales where Zlatan Ibrahimovics double and Paul Pogbas volley secured the win.Chris Smalling doesnt feel he can play 100 percent with his pain and Luke Shaw this morning told me he was not in condition to play, Mourinho said.United is sixth, three points behind Tottenham, which drew 1-1 at Arsenal.And if Mourinho thinks he has problems, he should look at the plight of Swansea, which is only off the bottom due to Sunderland having an inferior goal difference.Bob Bradley, the first American manager in the Premier League, has quickly discovered just how hard it will be keeping Swansea in the top flight. Swanseas 10-game winless sequence marks their worst run since being promoted to the Premier League in 2011, with Bradley collecting only one point in the four games since he replaced the fired Francesco Guidolin.Swansea is probably the opposition that any stuttering team would choose to play right now.Hit by injury and suspensions, Mourinho made five changes from the side held by Burnley in their previous league game while the manager watched from the stands due to his touchline suspension.Phil Jones and Michael Carrick made their first league starts of the season and captain Wayne Rooney returned after being out of the starting line-up since Sept. 18.United was on the front foot from the start and Pogba rewarded that superiority with a fine 15th-minute strike. Pogba chipped a pass into Rooneys path and, although Mike van der Hoorn beat Ibrahimovic to his lay-off, the worlds most expensive player had followed up the play to unleash a 20-yard volley for his second league goal.Marouane Fellaini almost doubled Uniteds lead with another volley but the second goal soon arrived.Rooney fed Ibrahimovic from the left and he shrugged off Ki Sung-yueng to send a low drive past goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.It was the 25,000th goal since the Premier Leagues inception in 2012 and the 400th of Ibrahimovics career -- ending a goal drought in the league which stretched back over 10 hours.Ive been a bit unlucky in recent games but its just working hard and it comes, the 35-year-old Swede said.Ibrahimovic only had to wait until the 33rd minute for his next goal with Rooney again the provider, the Swede powering through Angel Rangels timid tackle to fire high past Fabianski.Weve given up goals where the starting points for those goals are not teams with flowing moves putting 15 passes together and playing right through us and dissecting us, Bradley said. We give up goals where we feel were in decent shape, and then a ball gets put up there and somehow we come out second best and the next thing you know were scrambling to put out a fire.The mood became ugly among Swansea supporters as they turned on board members who sold their shares in July to the American investors -- Steve Kaplan, a minority owner and executive vice chairman of the NBAs Memphis Grizzlies, and Jason Levien, a part-owner of D.C. United.If the fans are angry with us at halftime I understand, Bradley said. In the first half, we didnt do enough to win them.The only bright moment for the hosts came when Van der Hoorn escaped the attentions of Pogba and Jones to head in a consolation in the 69th minute.

Fake Yeezys Outlet . U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in Manhattan agreed that lawyers on both sides could make their formal requests by Nov. 8. A hearing is scheduled for a day earlier. Jordan Siev, a lawyer for Rodriguez, wrote in a joint letter to the judge from lawyers on both sides that MLB lawyers planned to ask that the lawsuit be dismissed. http://www.fakeyeezysforsale.com/ . "I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement. PHOENIX -- The Washington Nationals bring one of baseballs best road records into a three-game series against Arizona beginning Monday at Chase Field, a place the Diamondbacks have had a hard time calling home.The Nationals, 7-8 since All-Star break, are 30-24 on the road after splitting four games in San Francisco over the weekend. Only the St. Louis Cardinals (31) have more road victories in the NL.The D-backs, home after a 3-7 trip that included stops in three time zones, are 17-35 at home. Only the Atlanta Braves (14) have fewer home wins.Arizona lost four- and three-runs leads in falling twice over the weekend to the Dodgers, including a 14-3 defeat Sunday. The Diamondbacks have dropped 14 of 19.We just didnt play a really good ballgame today, Arizona manager Chip Hale said Sunday. Our defense really hurt us in that game.The Diamondbacks will attempt to turn things around while facing one of baseballs best pitchers, Stephen Strasburg. The Washington ace right-hander will face Arizona right-hander Archie Bradley in the series opener.Strasburg (14-1, 2.68 ERA) had a season-opening 13-game winning streak broken against the Dodgers on July 21 but rebounded with seven scoreless innings in a 14-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians last Wednesday. His ERA has been above 3.00 only once this season.Strasburg is 3-2 with a 3.53 ERA in seven career starts against Arizona. He is 2-2 at Chase Field and has lost starts in each of the previous two seasons there. He was charged with eight runs (seven earned) in 3 1/3 innings of a 14-6 loss defeat on May 12, 2015.Bradley (4-6, 4.17 ERA) has been the D-backs most consistent starter recently, although the results have not always shown it. He is 2/3 with a 3.06 ERA in his past eight starts, posting five quality starts in that span. Bradley, whose presence has been critical after the loss of Zack Greinke to a left oblique strain on June 28, has never faced the Nationals.The D-backs will see if Yasmany Tomass strong road trip translates in the six-game homestand that also includes a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.Tomas hit .375 with five doubles, four homers and 10 RBI on thhe 10-game trip that concluded at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. Fake Yeezys 2019. He had two-homer games in Cincinnati and Milwaukee on the trip and has 14 of his 17 homers on the road this season. He is batting .309 in 45 road games and .223 in 45 home games.Washingtons Daniel Murphy, one of the most productive players in the league since signing as a free agent in the offseason, missed two weekend starts but was used as a pinch hitter Sunday. He leads the NL in batting average (.350), on-base-plus-slugging percentage (1.009), hits (131) and doubles (31).Were a different lineup without Murphy, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said.D-backs second baseman Jean Segura has hit safely in 11 of his past 13 games and is batting .353 with four doubles and two homers in that span. He is second in the NL with 129 hits.The Nationals added closer Mark Melancon in a trade with Pittsburgh to firm up their bullpen Saturday morning. Melancon, who had 30 saves and a 1.51 ERA with the Pirates, reported to the Nats on Sunday in San Francisco but did not get in the game as Washington fell 3-1 to the Giants.Melancon, who attended the University of Arizona, had a major-league-best 51 saves last season.The D-backs also renovated their bullpen over the weekend, purchasing the contracts of left-handers Adam Loewen and Steve Hathaway from Triple-A Reno while optioning lefty Zac Curtis to Double-A Mobile and designating right-hander Josh Collmenter for assignment. Setup man Tyler Clippard was traded to the New York Yankees for minor league right-hander Vicente Campos on Sunday, about three weeks after closer Brad Ziegler was sent to the Boston Red Sox.Arizona setup man Daniel Hudson also is available heading to the Monday afternoon trade deadline.The bullpen is definitely something right now that is up for grabs, Hale said.Diamondbacks third base coach Matt Williams will face his former team for the first time this season. Williams served as the Nationals manager for the last two seasons before being replaced by Dusty Baker last fall. ' ' '
