I think as a ex player it is more difficult to go to being a good pundit as opposed to a ex manager. Mourinho knows how to analyse games and how to analyse players better than the Redknapp's, Owens, etc who have 0 managerial or coaching experience at the top level. He made some very good points regarding El Classico too, particularly about Ivan Rakitic. !Hazard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some very good points regarding El Classico too, particularly about Ivan Rakitic. I think it depends on the manager too. For example, when asked the question, Mourinho was one of the few pundits who said it wasn't really a problem to play Kante outside the CDM role. He felt Kante has the quality to play anywhere on the pitch. This is different from the useless narrative which states that putting Kante back in the lone CDM role (where he never really has played in the past for Chelsea or Leicester), would solve all our problems. Someone like Tim Sherwood on the other hand.... 0007, OneMoSalah and manpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This is off topic, But as a side note, I hope his rest on the sidelines helps Mourinho recover some of his mojo back. He already looks to be more like himself, and in control. Still love what he did for Chelsea during his 3 PL title runs, and despite whatever crap happened afterwards, it doesn't overshadow what he's achieved with the club. His take on the Kepa situation and his take on Sarri ball are also interesting https://www.beinsports.com/en/premier-league/video/premier-league-jose-mourinho-reaction/1129197 kc_blue and Supermonkey92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 On Higuain, His movement and intelligence is there. But just like Pedro and Willian, his age has affected his sharpness a bit, and he's unable to make the most of it 100% of the time. Like how he took too many touches in the box when sent through by Hazard, or fumbled the ball over the top from Jorginho. Against the very best defenses, he won't get too many chances to redeem himself in the same game, like he was able to do so today. The good thing is that unlike Morata, he doesn't let his head go down. Because he's experienced, he knows what works. And he'll keep trying again to eventually score. We can get away with this with lesser sides, but I imagine we would need our other goal scorers to be at their top when the 2-3 really big games come, later in the season.

Superblue 6,372 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 His job is to score goals and put the lesser sides to the sword which we've struggled to do a lot of the season. Not concerned with United and liverpool games, if he can help us win the other 8 games I think that would be enough for top 4. Hes no longer at his peak but is such a huge upgrade and boost still on morata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger is pretty good. Mou is good but he tend to promote himself too much 😁😁 I mentioned this a while ago. Watched klopp in mnf with carragher. There you will understand the difference between a manager and an ex player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I can't fault him one bit. He's scored goals, yes he hasn't scored loads but he has chipped in and actually adapted really well. I think if he continues he will be crucial for us in the run in. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Not sure how he's supposed to do anything when we don't pass the ball to him, tbh. Plus a striker is more or less useless in games like that, sometimes. Wolves dominated us at the back and we never looked like creating anything, yet Gonzalo looked bright, especially in the first half. kellzfresh, OneMoSalah and Strike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I dont know if its because the expectations werent high, but IMO he is doing just fine. Not great, not bad, just ok. Dangerous when he gets a chance and decent linkup. We all knew he is slow though, so thats about it. I do feel way more comfortable when Higs goes 1v1 compared to Morata or Giroud. That however happens rarely. Higuain movement is good, but he isnt quick enough to escape the enemy, leaving us in less 1v1 vs the gk compared to Morata who had quite a few chances.
