The Mourinho Thread

[Muzchap 8,966]

I posted a while back that this pressure he is under is making him too cautious and then gamble big

As long as we win something this year - he will get over it - until then a few more ups and downs I reckon

Bad subs, team below par as a whole.

The difference between us on this matter is you think Mourinho can't ever do something like that, you even assure yourself. That's very fair, because we normally agree on a lot of stuff, but I happen to disagree with you on just this one thing.

Maybe I'm naive to believe José wouldn't agree to those things, he has such a great character and is so strong willed... also he would make more profit winning the league, using the best players he judges as such than playing someone because of an agent.

I'm not denying managers don't play agent players, but this case, this situation and Mourinho's work ethic throughout his whole career just say the opposite. If anything it'd be stupid and if there's one thing I'm absolutely sure is that Mourinho ain't stupid

He's been making mistakes with his selection though, although most of our bench players are off pace and our main issue continue to be the defense. Our attack isn't exactly clinical, but our defense, when exposed, is a nightmare

Wrong starting XI. Simple as.

Wouldn't surprise me however if he starts going back to tight defence football again. Maybe this Spurs result is our Sunderland Capital One last season, I fear we will repeat last season's mistake...

Nothing better than a tight backside.

Jose has run the players to the ground. Lack of rotation all season is starting to cost us, the players are tired and it shows.

Yep which will also lead to more 0-0 away to Sunderland

Jose will definitely used this awful game as an excuse to revert to parking the bus in a bid to keep things tight at the back.

Hazard looked like he owns the Duracell factory.

Imo that is fine as long as we win the title in the end, if not questions would need to be asked and his position reviewed if we are trophy less again this season. I hope not though, I want us to do a 09-10 again and play exciting football to winning the league, not barely scrapping over the line because we kept on winning 1-0.

The lack of rotation shows one thing. Those that we got to rotate are awful.

Mikel, Salah, schurrle are nowhere near good enough.

Should be moved for either younger players.... Which mourinho at the moment shows no hint of doing, or just buy better players and sell these.
