obiwan92 217 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 After some fits and starts, we're still within inches of the top. Do you guys remember how we fared with our last... 3... managers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think someone mentioned the following on this forum or elsewhere, that the reason Mourinho looks like he is 'holding back' the team's attacking instincts even against weaker opposition is to compensate for the lack of solidity in central midfield. I think he might have expected more from CM when this season started, but has since realized there are serious problems, especially in organization when the team don't have the ball, and to control the game when the team have obtained the lead.We dont have Ballack any more ,,, BUT when we did a lot on here said he slowed things down and wanted him out No I can't be bothered to find those quotes ,, BUT THEY HAPPENED Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Mourinho's mental strength is to win despite bad performances, and that was apparent during his first tenure - of course defensively we were more solid, but that is down to injuries and a required new shape up of the defense all together for me - and that is how you know that the league is not about a few matches but the whole 38. I can see up stepping up for Arsenal to take what we need - the advantage - play off their deflated team and use it against them to bag the three points and closer to the top spot.

zolayes 14,489 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Defiant Jose Mourinho: Manchester City need to be more like Chelsea - NOT the other way "They have one point less. So they need to be more like us," the Special One bizarrely claims despite City's demolition job http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-review-manchester-city-need-2930361 Mind games from Jose the Mirror is so cracked they cant see what he means ..if there are any Mirror journos on here ..Jose means their strikers have to stop scoring. at least Aguerro understands he has got himself injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Let this Arsenal game decide Jose's first few months here and it would sum up our mentality, our performance and in general Jose's mindset about us. If we go there and play attacking and win or draw, then every mistake for the past few months will have been forgotten, if he goes there and play for a bore draw like we did against MU, we know nothing have changed and it was typical Jose so we shouldn't expect things to change as we hoped. Now if we lose, then you just know hell will fall on here and rightly so, this is a game we should win or at least get a draw, losing is not good enough especially since our B team destroyed them a few weeks ago.So let this Arsenal game decide for us, whether you are supporting Jose or criticising him.

Thendo 1,088 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah I think it's harsch to only blame Mou for this performance barely any player showed up tonight and thus this happened. The thing is he has to find his XI for the league games and let them find consistensy, today you could really tell that there was no chemistry between our 3 AM's and the striker.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 He will get blame, because of the whole rafa scenario, but we won that game and the players switched off. Not much any manager can do there. Mourinho does need to give them a kick up the backside though.We could have SAF or whoever in charge and they can't make our strikers world class.
