The Mourinho Thread

[Styles 9,790]

We need fullbacks and DM. Attacking player not needed at all. I don't know when people will realize our attacking problems are more related with tactics than the quality of players.

I get what you're saying but I also think it's a bit of both.

[DYC. 7,542]

he's not complaining, he's supporting it. He said he thinks it's a valid game plan, that the media is the one who normally thinks otherwise...

He's being ironic and baiting the media to talk shit about how Arsene set his team, which we obviously know they won't do, they only say shit when we do it.

I'm just looking for an article with his quotes. Would be strange if he complained.

from the link above

‘For me it depends on the perspective,’ our manager said. ‘Normally you [the media] like to say a team that is defensive and defends very well doesn’t deserve to win.

‘But I also have my opinion, different from your opinion. My opinion is the team that defends very well, that leaves their philosophy in the dressing room, changes their attitude, plays all the second half with nine players in front of the box, doesn’t concede and scores one goal, from that perspective they deserve to win.

‘This is football. This is very good tactical organisation. Congratulations to them.’

Maybe we will sell Ramires, Mikel and Cuodrado to some Turkish league side and buy very good cm's who accepts just squad player role and world class goalscoring right wing, because Moses, Willian, Cuadrodo and Ramires is not good enough.

I was there. The better team did lose - Arsenal made us look like... Arsenal when they play Chelsea. For vast spells of the game we were in charge and if Oscar started I reckon we would have found a way through.

but what matters is the result.

Disagree with this. Saying Chelsea was the better team is the same as Arsenal fans saying they were better when Chelsea sit back. No team was really superior but Cech did practically nothing this game. Courtois had the busier day.

Classic Jose

To be fair, Courtois barely had any saves to make until we went a bit more gung-ho in the final 10 minutes. Otherwise, both keepers didn't have much to do apart from picking up overhit passes, collecting crosses etc.

Jose Mourinho: 'The best team lost and the most defensive team won.'

Ohhh jose. Never change. I love you.

On really...Mou is such a dunnowhatheis...so it isn't Wenger outclassing him with tactics?

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Glorified friendly or not, this was an important match in convincing the board/Jose that we desperately need new signings. I don't know if it's Jose or the board's plan to not sign a CM, but please, sign an/a Aranguiz/Witsel. I would kill for any of these two right now.

One signing in the CM position is how far away we are from going after the likes of PSG. Please, do it Jose and Roman.

He might have convinces them just now [emoji28]

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

He won't like having lost his record, hopefully he will get another wide man or a 10 and a CM so we can improve our first 11 again. Think one top player that fits in to either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and we will be nailed on to retain the title as long as Matic, Cesc and Diego stay relatively fit.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Sorry but, since Costa didn't have surgery, he will not stay fit throughout the season. He may even miss the first 2 PL games. Just a heads up.

Bad Decision I think...
