Yes, you’re right. But, that doesn’t explain why he use five defenders against Brighton, and why he instructs his team to play a kind of defensively oriented conservative football with moderate pressing against Brighton etc. COVID is no excuse for that.
The scene in All or Nothing when he has that conversation with Rose told me everything. A totally sudden change of atmosphere and mood when he felt a certain degree of criticism.
An attempt to try and defend Mourinho a little bit too: He probably hasn’t got the opportunity and resources he requires to buy the top players he “needs”. When you hire a guy like Mourinho, you must expect expensive transfers. It’s part of the package, I guess. It’s like if you employ an...
Levy knows how to use his calculator. My guessing is that he’s looking at the numbers and how much sacking Mourinho soon will cost compared to what no CL next season will cost.
Did we really try to play defensively counter attacking football yesterday against Brighton? What I saw was at best a kind of weird hybrid with a defensively oriented line up which tried to press, but not to hard and not too much. Didn’t understand it. Seems like Jose doesn’t know what to do...
Year after year, transfer window after transfer window me myself and many of us dreamt and hoped for a Bale return. “It’s not likely. It’s not gonna happen” many said. But, it certainly suddenly happened. Be careful for what you wish for.. He’s shit. Real Madrid knew exactly what they did when...
I agree to a certain point. But, there must be more counter attacks then if I’m gonna be satisfied. This is a sport and entertainment after all. It’s not just a battle in WW2 which must be won no matter how and with the tactical manoeuvre needed. At least not in game after game. Football must...
Well, I was never anti-Mourinho myself, but I know and remember there was a few a year ago. I can accept a team which is defensively well-organised and where counter attacking football is the preference. But, then we have to attack when we can and entertain as much as possible. To Dare is to...
Nice to see that Son is back. And right decision to let Lamela start. Aurier might give us more speed than Doherty, and together with Reguilon it might work out great. But, just a quick question: Where do media get the info on what systems and formations the teams will use? 4-3-3? I don’t find...
I would like to bring in a keeper in wheelchair and a CB and striker with crutch in our line up, just to make a point and send a message. Is that possible and realistic? Hope so!
