The Mourinho Thread

[LAM09 6,557]

Its pretty obvious and beaten to death that we have issues with our strikers. But lets not make our strikers the scapegoat for everything. First credit where credit is due our strikers have showed up in a lot of our big games. Yes signing a big time striker will help, but we have deficiency in other areas.

Mou has had a whole season with this squad we will see if he address them. Some i wonder if he sees it as a problem, for example lack of attacking threats from our FBs. If he actually plays like a big sides against good sides.

Not making them scapegoats mate, but stating the facts. If we had a Suarez/Costa, I am more than sure we would have won the league as it is unlikely now. Regarding attacking FB's, I don't think Mourinho will be interested in buying one for that purpose. A LB is needed due to Cole no longer being what he once was, and Dave isn't a LB.

Mourinho - 2 trophies out of a possible 14 available in the last 4 years. £272,440,000 spent in that time...Just saying

That can be said, but how much did he spend at Porto?

Mourinho is a manager who would prefer to buy a team than well know individuals.

Yeah that was like 15 years ago! Truth of the matter is, he is the first manager of ours for years not to deliver a single trophy!

10 years ago.

We might not win a trophy this year sadly, but we are in a much better state than last year. Fighting for the title, and so close to another CL final.

Since when is the Europa League trophy more impressive than a Champions League semifinal. Bollocks.

2 out of 3 Mourinho bashers are Liverpool fans.

It's a Trophy.......... what do we get except money(which is pennies for the club) for the semi? a chocolate watch?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

There is one thing he done it wrong.

No balance between attack and defense. None. If he can make us more connected in attack, make better transition, allow players (full backs, midfielders) to attack as team, if he can make certain pattern in attack, then we will be deadly for anyone. Ita transition period, Mou did good this season, but next one, our attack must be much much better.

Well so far I'd have preferred Rafa! We actually played football!

Arsenal will no doubt have fa cup...city have league cup, liverpool/city have title....

We have 3rd place....YIPEEEEE!!!

Tell me again Mou did good....how? Rafa got 3rd AND Europa!

[Henrique 9,133]

Mourinho did a poor job this season, but its just crazy to compare Mourinho and Benitez.

ps: but if Benitez was the one parking the bus against Atletico in the first leg, and starting the second leg at home with 6 defender, including one RB playing in the mid, the press and Mourinho's fans would be saying how clueless the fat one is).

[thekid9 418]

Why? One has a trophy with arguably a weaker squad, got third place and also fa cup semi only to be cheated by city. Rafa > Mou.....

2004 etc is history....he needs to do something this time around

You can log on to RAWK and spread your Rafa/Torres love there.

Football is just an amazing game, isn't it? Yesterday tik-taka died, people were saying how clueless Guardiola is, with his football philosophy bullshit, Mourinho was the king because he is the man to bring results. Today Mourinho's ultra-conservatism proved to be as ineffective as Guardiola's tik-taka. "Bloody football".

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I felt sick looking at that line up today, why 6 defenders?? That is what cost us the game, go for the game then shut up shop instead of this ultra conservative bullshit. If we are being rational Mourinho has blown the league, the champ league, the league cup and fa cup by his arrogant tactics. Yes he does well against the big teams, but it does not matter if you go on and lose against Sunderland or Palace. He has spent 100 million dollars so does not have any excuse for this season ending the way it has just done

I will trade a year of trophyless season to a decade of domination.

mou already forsee this.
