The Mourinho Thread

[Tomo 21,751]

Atletico not City. Obviously not 10 men behind the ball but it is as close as you can get to full bus parking. NOT A SINGLE CHANCE against MU or Atletico and at Arsenal apart from Lampard hitting the bar it was more of the same.

Enlighten me, how many chances did these great footballing sides create in those games? bare in mind they were the HOME TEAM.

Let's play like Arsenal do away from home and get thrashed 6-0. Yes?

I loved it when he was chasing the ball to put it back on play during the final minutes, I believe the crowd enjoyed it too. His passion is really recomforting.

I'll never forget his tense look when we were playing the last mins of the 2nd leg against PSG. It seemed like he was going to collapse.

If we park the bus on Sunday Jose will show that he will never change and we have to accept that. If he attempts to play like last season however it shows he is willing to adapt away from his instinct. If this was in 13/14 we would have parked it hard against City especially after that CL performance. Lets see now if he does the same or actually attempt to play like he did last season in that 1-0 win.

With our current players we should be scoring at least a goal or have several effort on targets during a big match like this. But knowing Jose I wouldn't be surprised if he saw what Stoke did and gonna attempt to do the same.

And win, and make you happy, and win the league, and shut your mouth

But we didn't park the bus against City last season so your "if this was last season" remark is completely off.

Jose: 'The perfect situation is to score a lot of goals and not concede, and we have to chase that perfection.' #CFC

Jose: 'We respect City totally because they deserve it, but we believe in ourselves.' #CFC

Jose: 'It's always a good time to play against big teams because it makes my job easy.' #CFC

Jose: 'I don't want to compare squads but ours is better than it was last season, we have more solutions. We have a good balance.' #CFC

Jose: 'Everybody is ready to play, Diego is not in the best condition but he will start. If he plays he won't play against Bolton.' #CFC

Jose: 'It's one more game and three more points but when matches are between title contenders, every point makes a difference.' #CFC

I bet you're loving Jose in that suit

Does anyone have the long version of Jose's press conference for the City game?

Did Jose have any ball control when he played right midfield as a player?

Otherwise, his instincts is quite sublime for a guy who NEVER played football before :whistle:

[couris 232]

coward tactics against 10 men. disgusting.

[Ledg 643]

I'll always be behind me but it was so stupid after 1-0 with a man up to play like we were the team wih a man down.. We could easily just control the game after the goal and win it.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Unacceptable tactics today. He's unfortunately showing to be a one trick pony in the away matches this season. Play "counter-attacking" football and hope for the best. If the opponent doesn't allow you to, park the bus and defend for your lives.

WTF is the point of Hazard, Fabregas, Willian and co if Mourinho won't let them express themselves instead they are turned to fullbacks away from home vs the big teams. Painful to watch.

Best coach in the world....we have been brainwashed. He is brilliant for sure, but he does mistakes more often than he used to.

HIs inclusion of Drogba cost us 2 points vs Schalke and it very well might have cost us again.
