Chelsea 2014 season led Atletico 1-0 at home and ended up losing

There goes your fable

with no away goal dayo

Adisaowalla:
14 years ago!!!

lol. that was in response to his defence that poch is inexperience. Mou was also massively inexperienced then. but he out fought Fergie.

raumdeuter:
Old Lady. Actually they were the first European team I supported since the person who taught me about European football was a Juventus fan. So it was always Baggio Baggio

hmmn funny how we have the same preference. I like the old Ladies though. with all the champions league final heart breaks. I like them and dispised Milan.

Leyqute:
Let's not. Mou will come out bad if we do that, what with the amount of money he's spent since he arrived Carrington.

ok sir. but hope no hard feelings. we just debated

Leyqute:
See, CapitalMan. To whom much is given, much is expected.

*Clears throat

That's all.

FC Porto? Inter ?... clears throat. should we calculate?

Leyqute:
I don hear you o. Na you be boss.

na you be boss. brother, no be me. we learn everyday

Leyqute:
Spoken like a true Mourinho fan. Give the ball to the opponent and park the bus. As if it works 100% of the time.

Clap for yourself.

I didn't say park the bus. strifle the opposition. don't give them space, Mark them one on one, run at there open and jittery defence, and stay compact at the back.. in this case it would have safely been 100% effective. tell yourself the truth Mou, even with FC Porto would have eliminated Juve given this comdition

GloryIsaac:
Should we go back to the "it's either gung ho or park the bus" period?... Just dey o

I don't know what you are talking about. I dint say poch should pack the bus o, just strifle the opposition finish, he went for the jugular and paid dearly.

Leyqute:
There's no need for all these opata yarns, CapitalC. Everyone knows you're a true fan and you've been itching to get one over the fake fans.

You need to chill o

you are not correct. when LVG and moyes held sway, i roundly criticised them, mou is not the best, but his approach while not too good and sometimes he overdoes it to the detriment of the team, its not Armageddon as most folks here sadly paints it. it's clear that what you guys are asking Mou to do cost spurs this game. as yourself why Mou is very successful.

Leyqute:
You def saw that I placed the blame on players and coaches eh? Or didn't you?

So you don't think it's possible they concede after totally surrendering the ball to Juve to defend?

Juve needs 2 to avoid elimination. you forgot spurs have 2 away goals? the best thing to do is to add another pivot to Dier,, and pull out an attacking player, strifle them and hit them on counter. did you remember how mourinho shut out Barca for nearly 70mins with 10 in camp nou in 2010? this juve team is not that fantastic attack wise. if you shut them out, they won't score 2 goals in just 30mins and you can hit them on counter.

weedtaker:
Lol Bros calm down.

bros I am calm, but have u noticed that when united lose its mourinho not the players. but when spurs lose its Zombie-like players and they did not wake up from slumber. and that poch is inexperienced. lol

weedtaker:
you don't think being a little bit pragmatic would've helped them after going 1nill up?

no need for pragmatism. the players according to him are Zombie-like, but if na mourinho. the our defenders are Ferdinand and Vidic rolled into one, but moi used his negative tactics to lose the game. I can now see say no be only dayo de turn amala.

Leyqute:
Na coach and players o. Immediately Juve scored the first goal, an experienced coach would be on his toes screaming out his lungs at his zombie-like players not to bottle the game.

Poch didn't do that. The players didn't wake up from their slumber in time. They got knocked aut

Now it's "Zombie-like players" and the players didn't wake him from slumber. Ogbeni Forget the players Poch threw away the game. didnt you notice that immediately spurs started pressing for the second goal, Allegri pulled out Benatia, and brought in Leichsteiner and Asamoah to stretch the game, immediately they came in, I sensed danger. It's not about experience, Poch is inept, anyhow you want to put. Mou in his first full champions league out thought Fergie, when he brought it Costinha to nail us in 2004, I nearly cried that day. then Mou was just 41. he dealt with Barca in his first season at Chelsea with astute substitutions.
even me that's not a manager saw the danger in Allegris subs, but Poch sent his troops to attack senselessly against the old ladies who require a 2 goals not to be eliminated.
Una don see una people na. igbo people talk say. agbacha oso a guo mile. meaning: after the race we will count mile. na here all of us. dey till season end when den go begin count trophy, we go no weda them go award trophies for shot on target and number of passes.

GloryIsaac:
A reminder: Every united fan wants to see the club succeed.

Yes but you guys narrative is too vindictive to the person of mou. now una man Poch don throw away 2 away goal and a 1-0 half time lead. Poch need to be sacked. simple

larride:
Don't change your narrative like Oga Dayo, do we usually park the bus or not when we play lesser teams and bring stats out to back up your claims.

you don catch them for blockos. dem wan come follow dayo turn amala. lol

raumdeuter:
How much is spurs wage bill compared to Man Utd

Dayo you are a notorious mourinho hater. I swear if you give mourinho Burnley and he is leading juve 1-0 at half time, with 2 away goals already in the bag, Juve is out.

weedtaker:
jose is shit, jose is dis jose is dat, Liverpool with ghen ghen pressing behind Jose's park de bus united and are trophyless for 3seasons now, Tottenham with genius poch that destroyed madrid and juve behind Jose's park de bus and are trophyless for how many seasons now?? but of course jose is shit, he parks de bus every now and then against the sotons nd eyinmbas of dis world, doesn't know how to attack and is a coward


at least no matter the tears, e no fit still develop wings fly go u.k

Weed taker abeg forgive me for all the jabs I have given u in the past. you are intelligent.

Love mou or hate him. he will never throw away that lead. give mourinho this sane spurs team, immediately he goes 1-0 up. he will strifle Juve and close out the game. But Poch want to win in a way that the English media will compare him to Fergie. Mourinho might not be pretty and nice but his team with a 2-2 away result, will go through either with a 1-0 win or on away goals. Lesson learnt.

eph12:
Where did I exonerate the player? Last season I was on Pogba's case. If you employ a digger you will see my posts on this.

you are correct she. the manager have to motivate the players. That's his job. Sometimes it will be me like I should go in there and land pogba a dirty slap. we all know what he can do. but he just don't care. look at Lukaku, Lingard, Valencia, DDG even smalling . some of them may lack the talent. but they put in their best. I have problem with Pogba and sadly Martial in this regard, they esp. Pogba plays for his selfish inteest

eph12:
What about how Fergie played against the smaller teams? We not talking about a one off but week in week out even with technically limited players.

Who bought Lindeloff? Smalling that we love to criticize was nominated for player of the month last month, I wonder who was bribed.

[ author=eph12 post=65643554]
Who bought Pogba?[/quote]you are trying so hard to blame the manager, while exonerating the players. Ok he is at fault.

elrony:
My main observation is that our players are lazy during pressing, except Lingard and Herrera!

If 80% of them can give the kind of energy those 2 give repeatedly, then I woulda comfortably be blaming oga Mou 100%.

That's playing for the badge not for yourself. I remember Rooney being juncketed across the attack and even in central midfield during fergie days, in all those times, you won't even notice he is playing out of position, he still plays his heart out. That's why till tommorow my love for the guy is everlasting. Most of our players now are whinners and sulkers, play them in a position where bodies are need, they will immediately become moody and begin to ask for a transfer, just like Mkhi. I once rem ember the day we trail West ham by 2 nil at half-time, Fergie moved pa Giggs to left back to initiate attack from there, he did well. it surprises me when fans call out the managers for daring to use a player out of his "comfort zone". Sorry if as a forward you can't play everywhere across the attack, then you are limited. Pogba will not make fergie's first 11 TBH, despite his talent for example

larride:
Mou is not known as a high pressing coach, it's not his tactics and it won't start now in my opinion. Mou team over the years have always been known for their blistering counter attack. Most times we focus so much on Mou that we exonerate the players who loves making a simple pass looks like rocket science. If I ask you Mou tactics Now, you yourself will be able to tell me what it is, Mou has always been a conservative manager, sit back relax and hit on the counter, there are times his team will attack and attack from start to finish and there are some times he will set them up to sit back and hit on counter. There's no one way to play soccer, it's a tested and trusted formula for Mou, why will be want to change that?

I think sometimes we tend to interpret counter-attack as park the bus tactics. Even the best manager in the league history did not employ a high pressing tactics and he's known for his counter-attacking style. ghen ghen pressing is not the only way to play football. For all of Liverpool Klopp ghen ghen pressing, he still remains trophyless with them, even Pep went trophyless last season. Each manager will use the formula that's going to bring him success.

Whether you like the style or not is another thing entirely.

I will keep saying this. even SAF played counter attacking football against the likes of arsenal, ceding possession and hitting the opponent. the majority of the times SAF team play high pressing game is usually against the canon fodders. against the top teams fergie is conservative. mourinhos tactics needs runners and fighters added with ruthless finishers to excel. players like Martial who sulks easily, Pogba who is petulant like a girl and error prone Lindeloff and Smalling are not mourinho kind of players, he is just using them because there are few options.

I was talking about Mbappe after the first leg, someone I couldn't remember did not agree with me. the guy is a bit overrated, so is most of these PSG players. I know my team is not playing well. but this Madrid team will not beat me home and away.

Bag of beans in 2018 1 goal

Norata in 2018 0 goals..

eph12:
It's still too early though, just a couple of minutes. I don't think he should be converted to that position

I not suggesting he should. I am just saying the way he put in a performance for the team despite playing out of position. some other players will sulk

patrickmuf:
The truth is Valencia didn't give them a chance with his positioning and I didn't in anyway mean that Lingard is better at RB, he just interpreted the role better with his positioning for the pass each time the midfielders had the ball.

It is criminal for a full back to be pegged on the same line with the CBs, at least not when you're chasing a game.

you are spot on.

patrickmuf:
Young should never start for us again, he was awful today, we only began to stretch the game with Rashford and Shaw on the pitch.

Valencia nko. why are we giving him to much respect. he is currently shitier than young.

eph12:
De Gea saved us in this match o

I am telling you. meen watch out Lingard for that wing back position the guy just ball there no be small

larride:
Well this match shows that we need massive upgrade on our RB and LB urgently, can show lock down the LB, yet to be seen.

you have said it all. as much as we might not admit it. Valencia has been shit since thus year.

Lingard is the most underrated player in our team. Mata played so well today. DDG on top of it again. Smalling and Lindelof need to quickly go back to the bench asap. we have seem enough

Vanquay:
Courtois is a fvcking shite goalkeeper, anyone that likened him to De gea in tje past deserves his head shaved and the back of his skull whipped mercilessly with palm fronds.

I told them this after the some time ago. most Chelsea fans don't like telling themselves the teuth
