The Mourinho Thread

[iseah100 5,612]

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.

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.

I agree, but are our players fully accustomed to the system like Dortmund's players are? Doubt it very much. Was speaking from that view point.

If so, I do hope that we won't be as gung-ho and defensively loose as Dortmund can be. Would get heart attack in every game otherwise. That Everton game was bad enough!

Haha I agree. With Jose as manager it'll definitely be a more balanced version though, but naturally we'll see a lot more high scoring games than last season because of the profile of the squad now after some great attacking additions.

Simeone or Klopp?

As good as Klopp is, I think Simeone is the type of manager players are willing to die for so I'd say him. Then again I don't think he speaks English so his motivational abilities would probably be quite limited here lol

[The Skipper 20,593]

LOL.

The Dortmund players would die for Klopp too TBH. You can see that he has a very strong relationship with his players as well. It's just that he galvanizes them in a slightly different way compared to Simeone.

Not really relevant in this thread but just wanted to voice that I love how all the media attention is on united, and somehow Mourinho and the club are out of the limelight, despite being top and looking great. Hope we quietly do the business this year and United continue to get mugged off.

[Cholo 428]

I just cannot stress it often enough: even if we win nothing this season again (!), Roman mustn't pull the trigger. Mourinho must stay at all costs, an evolution is visible. Wenger can't identify and fix weaknesses of his Team in 100 years, Mourinho did in one transfer period

And quite honestly: If Mourinho left, a big part of my passion for Chelsea would die.

We've learnt from our mistakes, haven't we?
