Styles 9,790 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That was really poor from Madrid tonight. You expect better with the players they have at their disposal. Mourinho and Madrid's season is very, very close to collapsing and being an all out disaster. This is with perhaps the most expensively assembled squad in World football. I just can't believe people are desperate for him to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Lol.Honestly mate, I don't know who is available but I'm just not fully sold on Mourinho. You have to take this season at Madrid into consideration. TorontoChelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,477 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Honestly mate, I don't know who is available but I'm just not fully sold on Mourinho. You have to take this season at Madrid into consideration.But isn't it possible for any manager to have a below-par season? Yes they're in 3'rd place,.. but they're only 4 points behind Athletico Madrid (who they have already trashed once this season). You can point out that they're 16 points behind Barca, and that's perhaps too big a gap considering the quality squad they've got....., but isn't that the same kind of situation in England with Man utd and City? It can happen sometimes, when either the leading team is far too consistent, or one of your key players like say, Kompany or Ozil are not playing at their usual level....or perhaps both..The problem is Mourinho hasn't been at any club long enough for us to truly judge him. Hopefully that's about to change.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,353 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Did you watch the game? No rudeness intended but just asking incase you didn't watch it, United stifled Madrid for the vast majority of the match, played deeper than usual, just thought Jose would do what Jose does and make a/or change(s).

Madrid were battering them at several points and were unlucky not to score 4 or 5 due to great goal keeping.I don't know what the hell has happened to Benzema but he was playing like Torres last night. That didnt exactly help Jose's cause. MetsajCFC, The Mak, Muzchap and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I found it really interesting during all of the SKY SPORTS build-up that Jose really does look 'downbeat' - he doesn't have that same 'twinkle / sparkle' anymore... Think this RM job has been really tough on him and he probably thinks dealing with RA is definitely better...Again, I would like to see him come back... Despite some of his comments, he is a great guy and other top managers like him - because he wants to win - and surely that's what they're all trying to do...I would love to see him back here and him getting the team motivated and building a 'fortress' at SB again...@Pizy, agreed - Benzema was hopeless... I actually think Torres in his last game was > Benzema... TBH never rated him that much anyway, thought DiMaria was great and where was the normal crazy RB with big hair? Think they missed him too... Ozil was also REALLY poor... I would definitely start Modric ahead of him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozil was also REALLY poor... I would definitely start Modric ahead of him...Yea he doesn't to have that spark he used to have and his press conferences rn't they same as they were here I am guessing that's purely bcoz Madrid haven't had a very successful season and if he comes back to the Bridge and does what he did before he might regain that spark. I have never seen our defence performing so poorly (k parts of the AVB era r exceptions). I think he deep down too feels that Stamford Bridge is his home.Modric definetly deserves to get more game time, but Ozil was good in the EL Classico so I guess that's why Mourinho picked him.btw was Marcelo injured or was he on the subs bench because he would have been a gr8 impact sub for Madrid last night.What I am confused about though is why are Madrid struggling to defend well as it's a Mourinho team? b Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laeth 527 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I missed the first 20 minutes of the game last night; but if it wasn't for De Gea, Madrid would of won that comfortably. I still think they will do United at Old Trafford - they are a much better counter attacking team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a different mentality there though - he has to play attacking, as thats what the fans expect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 What's the talk of Mourinho out-done tactically? Madrid were in total control and were unlucky not to score 4-5 goals. Fabio Coentrao in particular had two chances, both of which were wonderfully saved by De Gea. Also Ronaldo wasn't far away from his second only to miss the target from close range with his head. United go lucky and were only dangerous during couple of occasions (Van Persie's miss for example) Also they can't play as defensive and as deep when they're at Old Trafford, because it might and most certainly will backfire. It's beyond me how Jones didn't even get booked, was allright but very raw with his challanges. Same could be said about Varane who took down Evra, easily could have been a straight red (last man), credit to the referee though, kept it under control as much as needed. It's men's game, there should be some kind of physical battle allowed. NishC300 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
