The Mourinho Thread

And anyway, Mourinho's decision to use Kenedy at LB was because he thought Norwich would play 3 at the back and that he would give us more impetus in attack.

I think it was actually 5 or 4 man defence, not 3. Had Norwich played with 5, we would have played with 3. This also explains the inclusion of Ivanovic, who would have slotted in at CB. The choices were logical, hard to argue with that.

yup....good to see a bit of variation in tactics with the possibilty to change without making subs and not lose balance.

Mourinho getting his mojo back....but more importantly, the players buying into it.

Will be interesting v Spurs as they for once are hot favourites. But its a Sunday midday match after they have played 2.5k miles away from home on Thursday night.

Makes a change for scheduling to suit us .......but could be hard for Mourinho to 2nd guess Spurs tactics and line up

I'm guessing that Jose will guess they will use the same system as against West Ham so, subject to no further personnel changes being forced on them, he'd expect them to line up with; Loris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Son, Mason, Eriksen, Kane.

you reckon Spurs will play a "2nd team" on Thursday or include players you mention?

As I said, it could be interesting if a number were involved

I think they'll rotate in midweek. Doubtless some starters will appear but I'd expect quite a few to be excused.

lets hope Mourinho gets it right.....I think you are right about formation and players above.

Wouldnt want to wish an injury or 2 on anyone...perhaps a bit of tiredness leading to a strain on Sunday early on though wouldnt go amiss....(clutching at straws) for us to gain an advantage.

Urm...Mourinho said in public he and the medical staff had their meeting.

Why should the details of that be public?

Just to satisfy do gooders like le saux in his new role ?

Remember he was also mouthing off about how the incident affected team form and the dressing room........yet again....how does he know?

So whilst its alright for GLS to have a big dig at our club and manager, its not ok for Mourinho to have a little one (just a name drop) back?

mourinho is the highest paid manager in the world. he is under the spotlight, and will be analysed by every angle. and when his behaviour is controversial, not everyone will be impressed. he dosen't need to rise to every criticism. just showing his paranoia and insecurity

^ Not one, but two big digs.

i read both of them, hardly massive digs at all. just concerned comments, that the squad does not respond to the negativity , and that jose handled the carneiro situation badly. neither of which is difficult to agree with.

Its only over reactionarys like your goodself that make it an issue though.

His comment ( name drop ) pales into the background when compared to Le Sauxs comments when he didnt know the ful facts.

Expected better of a recent club ambassador who knew his ill advised comments would be plastered all over the media.

Le Saux jumping on the bad nouthing of Mourinho and the club to self promote his new role....yup...stinks of it

no le saux dosen't know the "facts", which is why he used terms like "i think". "his behaviour may" "it feels like" are people not allowed an opinion?

nowhere did he criticise jose's managerial quality, just his attitude, and the effect it has

Why can't he say it face to face, why go to the media?

I think he's out for blood and wanted it this way, can't stand those people.

Yes, Mourinho shouldn't have mentioned Eva back in the day, but it was in the heat of the moment, the one from le saux was thought out.

because mourinho dosen't have time to meet everyone with an opinion? do you see le saux knocking on joses door and saying "hi jose, just stopped to tell you face to face, that the siege mentality isn't working"

i can't comprehend why he would be out for blood, the comments are not malicious in anyway, just concerned. the mourinho fans on here, act as if le saux said," jose is a terrible manager, he disgusts me"

similarly ballack and all these other guys, could have supported mourinho face to face.

Would have been better, if Jose publicly backed her afterwards. One can say that.

Jose seems one of those guys, who only reacts to strength, not weakness.

On the whole, neither of us don't know what really happened in the background.

Eva's reaction(in her past, she posted very rarely on Facebook) weren't good either.

She alone made the call to stop showing up for work, that wasn't necessary, she put her personal needs over the club ones,

at the end of the day, she let the team down.

Maybe the world has changed over the years, guys like Ferguson weren't nice either.

I think a lot of people can't stand a proper hairdryer treatment anymore, Eva didn't get that, way more harmless.

Sadly, it was enough.

Now we have to get on with life and the club.

Can't live forever in the past.
