The Mourinho Thread

[Tomo 21,751]

There's a reason no English team has won the quadruple before and it's that you would need everything to go your way. It won't happen.

It was said it was impossible to win the double until Spurs did it. It was said it was impossible to win the treble until United did it, It was said it was impossible to go a league season unbeaten in modern until Arsenal did it.

There's a first time for everything.

No, it wasn't him buying his own players. They were Fiorentino Perez signings

I believe a manager should demand for some players he wants to stay. Like Alonso. Their only sitting DM is illaramendi

He kept quiet and let 3 players from his team spine to go. That's too much imo

Our transfer window -87.7m spent and 88.5m received, giving us a 0.8m profit. Not to mention the almost 60m received for Mata and KDB in January.

Cole, Lampard, Luiz, Torres, etoo off the wage bill. (All big earners)

The squad looks brilliant and has a great balance of quality, youth, experience and leaders. Two quality players per position, the Mourinho mantra from his first time here. and all ready to fight at the top in every competition.

Superb from Jose

Why I'm I worried he'll leave for man u? Eventually

You realise any 'perceived' affection Mourinho had for United was actually for Ferguson right?..

Mourinho was one of a select few people who knew he was retiring before it became public, hence the reaction that night at Old Trafford Vs Real.

......

You didn't even want him here to begin with, why you worried?

I preferred Pep over him. but things have changed in 2 years.

All i'm going to say is thank god we don't have Pep and his hipsters-ish ways. He constantly changes formations for no apparent reasons, he loves possession even when they look predictable and he experiments with the team far too much...

Klopp is the real deal, he's got a great personality, brilliant fast-attacking philosophy and is very, very Loyal

Simeone or Klopp?

Simeone or Klopp?

I like Klopp mainly because of his style of football.

Simeone or Klopp?

Think if we were to replace Mourinho with Simeone, there wouldn't be much difference. Those two are so similar in their coaching style and character that is not even funny.

Have I missed something what's all this talk about someone else than Jose??

Contrary to the popular belief, Dortmund sort of play the type of football Jose's trying to implement here I believe.

Partly I would say. Mourinho is still a pragmatic and conservative fella whichever way you look at it.

And isn't it more accurate to say that Dortmund are playing Mourinho's type of football considering Klopp only established it there a few years ago?

Haha well, we haven't fully established our style yet but it's definitely fully taking shape this season, hence why I said it that way around.

But the style isn't necessarily a new thing from Mourinho anyway. If anything, he's just tweaking a bit here and there from his usual counter attacking approach.
