Oh okay I see. I'm fact it looks like Mourinho is thinking just like that. I remember when we used to say if Oscar can play in double pivot? Well I think that is what Mourinho will push for eventually. Oscar would be like the xavi alonso playing in the mid helping out the dm but also adding creativity. And mata our main 10. I think Mourinho wants mata to be a bit more aggressive like Oscar so he can help us when we need to press in the high line.

Really good. Now I got the good vibe with him again. I was mostly worried that he was trying to destroy an attacking team. But it's not like that. He is working on individual base to better each player. To be fair I did got frustrated about Mata in the past when he would get lost during matches where opponent attack and press us. I do think Mourinho wants Mata for the long term as well. If he is truly bent on being more attacking he will be key. Just that he needs to fix a couple of things to his game.

Good game today, but I still feel he is filling the spot till Mourinho can get Van Ginkel in there. Sort of like Varane at Real Madrid. But other then that congratz on the goal, deserved it!

I don't care about him scoring. Well I take that back, yes happy just like Roman was but I was more happy to see the high lineup that Mourinho put in the second half. This is what I want to see, as the high line when perfected will help us keep better possession of the ball and be a more attacking team. This is what I was doubting about Mourinho, and I think Roman too at a certain point. But Mourinho made the tactical changes and showed us that it now looks promising from looking bleak a couple of minutes ago.

Me I doubted him. But he has done good. I'm really impress! Not much in the scoring goal but in the second half where we play a high line. That is very offensive and that is what I wanted to see. Before that everything was so dull and boring, but when he put out the team like this everything changed. Do it again!

This is great. Thank god the team and Mourinho made me up my words. I'm no longer worried. Bring the next game!

Wait what? I thought we where discussing for number 10? CM next to Mikel is another role right?

This is great. Thank god the team and Mourinho made me up my words. I'm no longer worried. :blue scalf:

Yeah I see now. What really has changed is the high pressing game which was more better. I see that Oscar is able to sit back and help with the high pressing game where as to Mata he could not do it. But in terms of creativity Mata is still top. However Oscar is more rounded for all type of games. In games where we really need to boss the opposition I think Mata will come good. But in more tactical games Oscar seems to be number one.

Good good, this is good!

Alright that was good!

Come on win for god sake! This game has been so boring that the only entertainment was looking at Roman face!

Well I think the results speak for themselves don't they? We have looked shit without Mata. I can't fathom why a top manager would not like him as his main man as well. It's as if Real Madrid has completely destroy Mourinho from the great man he used to be. Just like Real Madrid has destroyed the career of many great players.

Damn that shit was painful to watch!

Lol you guys seen Roman face again?

Lol at Roman face. That says everything!

We will win!

I remember the last time RDM gamble on the starting 11 against juventus and that cost him. Here Mourinho has made a big statement of intent. We have to win otherwise things will not look good. The good thing is that he does it against a weaker rival then a stronger rival. As the chance of success are much more higher.

We need to win. Cause it will look horrible not winning and people will look at the team with no mata.

Deluded fools for getting rid of Lukaku and keeping the shit strikers we got!

Starting second half.

I'm sorry for Mata. It looks like he will be out this January transfer window.

Those Mata comment really disappoint me. I thought Mourinho had learned to be a more attacking minded coach after his spell at Madrid. But it seems we are going back to the counter attacking system. It's okay if we start winning things, but the real question is if this is what Roman wanted? Cause if Roman knew we would not be an attacking team why he got him? Sometimes Roman decision puzzle me. He can't have stability and expect his coach to play the style he want. Can't have his cake and eat it.

This is what I was referring to. Mourinho is not good for an attacking team. He wants a counter attacking team, but the owner does not want that. This looks like it's going to be another long drama!

Just this two points says everything that I'm worried about. Mourinho is mostly known for this type of game. The players we got and the philosophy that the board wants does not seems to equate with Mourinho. Unless Mourinho becomes the next Klopp in producing a sexy style of futbol, Mourinho does not have a good record for this...
