I don't mean Madrid tactics, I mean Mourinho tactics on Madrid. You capitalize. You need to read/watch his presses after Madrid matches, or how the team scored very often more goals in the second than in the first. I don't expect Madrid tactics either because we don't have Ronaldo and Alonso. There's no way to have the same tactics without the two of the vital players that made it work. You add di María, Benzema and Higuaín to that, and that's why they played like that. We don't have equivalent of those either, but we have alternatives that are as good to work in counter-attack I only meant Mourinho having his team being relentless.

I'm not forgetting and I stand by my words. This team that played today was Mou's first team as Mata and Luiz are unfit. I think Mata could be playable on Monday*, so that's one change. I don't see another change except one of our players who played today aren't fit. That could be the case with Ramires for example. He got a couple of touch tackles on him... other than that I definitely see him playing the same guys. And then by the weekend Mata might be really fit and hopefully Luiz too and if so we have the A team playing against United although I don't write it off if he goes for a 4-3-3 against ManUtd But yeah I don't expect changes - except if someone feels unfit from now until Wednesday. But you guys have a point. A very valid one. It makes sense, but I don't feel like he'll do it. edit: *Wednesday

where he belongs...

His Chelsea team dates from 6 years ago... the season is just starting, the players don't want to pick on injuries, I doubt we'll see much of that. Mourinho isn't the sme coach he was 6 years ago. He himself says it a lot, and it's not only about his persona, it's about his view on the sport as well. RM went to the kill in the second too many times. Don't expect to see the bold part around, especially with the players we have. I'm sure about it. Give the team a month or so and I'm sure it'll be more like Madrid

I'm positive we'll play the same team unless Mata and Luiz are fit. If that's the case Kevin and Cahill are off.

I know in RM it was rarely like that... and it wasn't only because of Cris... so yeah, his teams don't play like that anymore

I quote myself so back at the day I upgraded him to cute. But he's mostly nice. He looks like the hen's movie (Chickens Run)

I said he's nice. I love his personality, I made a post about him being playful with the photographer... but really the only good looking man in the team is Azpili The rest is a bunch of cute, nice, okay, and no, thanks guys.

what? He is cute at the best. He looks like one of the humans in that hens' movie

is this referee fucking kidding me?

at least rep the comment, perverts

OMG! is it that bad? *blush*

I forget I'm surrounded by lads...

oh André.... I wanted that to get in SO MUCH!!!!!!

if he called that little push by André how come the karate push on Ivan was nothing? FU referee

wow if that's not a pen I don't know what is

no yellow for that?

I want a Kevin screamer goal!

I do!!!!!! He's going to play in 30 minutes! Vamos RAFA!!!!!! #NADAL

when was the last time we didn't have Mata and didn't miss him? Because I mean, if he comes in, we'd continue the raping and probably would up it... but my point is, we aren't dependable on one player anymore. Sometimes last season when we didn't have have him or he was having an off day we never never this dominant - at least I don't remember. I remember Eden solving things for us, but us dominating without Mata it's been a long, long time. The Mourinho Effect

who's excited here? .o/

are you kidding me? I'll have this McGregor guy on my fantasy

there are 2 men (at least) on Hazard all the time. Can you imagine if we bring Mata to the second? They'll go crazy and there'll be plenty of space for others, like Oscar, Kev, Lamps, Torres
