Mohammed Seif 1,451 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Reverse psychology?Perhaps Mourinho wanted Barcelona to beat City, so this piss them of a lot to prove him wrong. I think Mourinho wanted to put pressure on Pelligrini by basically saying City is not as good as anyone claims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Inclined to agree with the points there but if you noticed, the point I was making to TOPTB was not we couldn't create chances at all but rather that we struggled to create chances and do so consistently when opponents sat back and defended against us. Hence, why I pointed out periods in the matches in which the opposition have done so.Not exactly disagreeing with your post,...was just agreeing with TOPTB's point about us not being able to make the most of the chances created Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The Mak 4,459 Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ha. Fabregas fired a jibe at Mourinho after the game on ITV. Said some people talk too much about Barcelona being worst than last few years and this result will shut them up for awhile (paraphrased).Reverse psychology?Perhaps Mourinho wanted Barcelona to beat City, so this piss them of a lot to prove him wrong. I think Mourinho wanted to put pressure on Pelligrini by basically saying City is not as good as anyone claimsI think Mourinho doesn't really give a shit about the result. He's just happy he's managed to mind-fuck so many people in such a short space of time! It's all quite funny when you think about the amount of chaos he's caused in less than 2 weeks! Again, no one is criticising any of our players! No one talks about our poor performance against City: Salah's weak appearance or Luiz's brain fart etc. While Pellegrini and Wenger are dealing with criticism to do with Demichelis and Giroud, our players are only focused on the next league game!

Mourinho is the best manager I have see that knows how to deal with Barca's system of playRDM didn't do that bad either vs BarcaTBH I think it's a combination of the English Bulldog mentality & the ethos of CFC. Like it or not CFC has a certain style of play, which is to hit off a quick counter-attack. Every gaffer that comes to the club seems to use this Philosophy. It's kewl w/ me.

bushman 2,043 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 According to Jose:Salah is not quite at the level required but he will adjust over the next few months..It´s great to read but does it mean Salah is useless now & will be useless until next season ? oman43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHL 47 378 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 That being said, if City can't beat this woeful Barcelona then they are not as good as we they thought they where.Just changed that a little According to Jose:Salah is not quite at the level required but he will adjust over the next few months..It´s great to read but does it mean Salah is useless now & will be useless until next season ?Possibly he's not fit enough and tactically needs some work?

Jase 43,479 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Fabregas on Mourinho...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/barcelona/10649949/Jose-Mourinho-should-shut-up-says-Barcelonas-Cesc-Fabregas.html“He should talk about Chelsea and their tie,” said Barca’s Fabregas after their 2-0 win at Manchester City. “I don’t think he should talk about anything else. It is not his business. If we have to get motivated by Mourinho’s comments we shouldn’t play football. We are top of the table, in the cup final, in a good moment in the Champions League.“Some people want us to fail all the time, some people have been talking a bit too much, for a few days they will have to shut up.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 He was asked for his opinion on the City-Barca game and he gave it. Simple as that. Massive fuss over nothing really. I think flabbygas and the rest of them need to find out the whole story and why he made the quote before making silly comments like that.
