Another questionable starting lineup, but I have complete faith in Mourinho.
Crucial difference between Mourinho and Poch, for me, is that Jose finds it much easier to make correct, decisive substitutions, and to get players fired up at half time (Moura the most obvious example today).
It’s no secret that there’s a lot of dross in our squad, and both managers have had to do the best with what they’ve got at this point. Difference being, Jose is consistently grinding out the wins, Poch did not.
I could not agree more. Jose Mourinho is a world class manager who is getting us the wins with the same players. Even the Chelsea game was lost primarily due to individual errors and frankly better opposition players. He’s getting us results and is figuring out the strengths of the squad pretty quickly. I think this is going to be a good era. Daniel Levy is no mug - he will be objectively looking at return on investment. If there is anyone on this planet who will be worth backing in the transfer market for 100 million - about 2 or 3 top quality players - it’s Jose Mourinho.
