Honestly? Defensive wise is like comparing apples and oranges. La Liga is such a light league, with huge pitches and teams more likely to play a style closer to Barcelona tiki taka rather than Madrid counter. That's why atlético was successful there last year with such a physical style, no teams practice it there.

Mourinho only worried about Barça defensively. Against them it was more defensive and he was cautious playing Valencia that was the third force for most time he's spent there.

What forces him to play more defensive here is better opposition, faster and more physical teams and it being a more competitive league. Now regarding the attack, I do believe he wants to emulate what he had there, but defensively the leagues are two worlds apart.

La Liga is much more physical than people think it is

I've been watching it for more than 20 years now... I don't think it is.

It's all subjective, but people think its filled with Ballerina's.

It's definitely not as physical as the Premier League, but some people don't give it enough credit

It was a good point which I didn't expect before the game. But considering how well we did end up playing and had only a few minutes to go to have the victory I am sorry I stick with the ridiculous singing for Lamps put everyone off and he scored costing us the game.

I just hope that doesn't happen when we play them at the bridge as he'd probably go and score a ***** hat trick, lol

It's really hard to asses we beat City, Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal last season but it was the smaller teams that cost us the league, particularly Villa we need to make sure we finish the games against the smaller side.

I have to say that Oscar makes a difference but just like in the city game, I don't see Mourinho having Oscar and Fabregas in the team against top team.

Is too attacking and our defense not so great.

That's why Mourinho is doing the right thing.

Going more attacking against the small team and going more defensive and balance against bigger teams.

If the plan is doing good you keep at it, because the league is not won by just beating your main opponent but also beating the 18 other teams in the league.

3 goals? thats it? against a mid table team like villa at the bridge!!! unacceptable!!! JOSE OUT!!!! WE WANT FSW BACK!!! we scored 8 under him, right?

Let's judge off the QPHA match @ da bridge. If I remember correctly the Spanish gaffer lost that match & it was the first time in 30 something years that those bums won a League match @ da bridge. I can't see Jose making the same mistake.
