Thank you bro.Even without a coaching badge on here I knew salah would come good hence I became the subject of mockery among most chelsea fans and mourinho asslickers back in 2014/2015 when I openly said he should have loaned out willian instead and not salah.


I will screenshot my post then as an evidence.

Actually I did.

Mein negger.

You're already a more insightful manager than Mourinho

pamcode:
4 goals. I am so happy I didn't miss this.

Lol

You missed it bro
This is where you should have triple capped

Seriously I don't even want to hear story.

If Mourninho could did not have the foresight to see what this man could come close to becoming, despite training with him every damn day, then it's a monumental failure on his part.

No wonder all his attacking players look out of tune.

lordfalcao:
Roma will be regretting selling salah for 45M

as in their CEO will be crying tears of blood

Mehn Roma were robbed

good God

Ibime:
How do you know Terry was the organiser in Chelsea defence without going to Bridge?

Most people who say that they've seen Terry 'organising' are lying. The TV doesnt show the defenders till the ball gets to the final third, by which time the backline has already set.

When Chelsea has the ball and are attacking in opposition half, you cant see Terry telling his partner where to stand and how to step up because the camera wont show it.

When theres a turnover high up the pitch and the defenders are calling out to each other to track runs, you cant see it because the TV aint showing them.

You can mostly see Terry comunicating in real time during set pieces because thats where the camera is looking. And most defenders shout to each other at that time sef.

The only other place to really see Terry's shouting is post match punditry.

TV cameras show so little of a match. You go to games so you know this.

Ibime:
Unlike you I don't watch only finals to look for who "beasted" final. I watch games throughout the season and can tell you that Pepe is the one that organises Ramos in that defence and brings stability to it. In every centre-back pairing, I differentiate the leader from the follower. Pepe is the man.

You dey go Bernabeu?

Cos TV Camera follows the ball, and the organisation of defence is done off the ball.

.

To make my position simple, i supported mourinho when the club hired him even though i had my reservations about his behaviour, about how he talks, i couldn't question his ability at the time because he was 3TIME CL winner and had won the league severally and his teams were a lot more daring than what am seems here. So if Mourinho will continue with this brand of football HE SHOULD FVCK OFF.

3 time CL winner?

do they win CL under coke bottle cover? When did Mourinho win 3?

All this döggy style talk reminded me of a Guardian article i read in the shower yesterday

Excerpt below

As of Tuesday night it is almost exactly four years since Mourinho last managed a club to victory in the Champions League knockout stages. In his past 10 knockout games with United and Chelsea he has two wins and five low-score draws.

You could make a case that Mourinho is the worst manager in the past 10 years of the Champions League knockout stages

Look a bit closer and even those two moments of triumph didn’t really point anywhere, the last one the ambush of Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge, when a late airborne siege turned a tie Chelsea were losing. The other was Didier Drogba’s return to Chelsea with Galatasaray, when a cunningly mawkish welcome back ceremony seemed to spook the visitors and Chelsea went 1-0 up after four minutes.

Look even further to his last year at Real Madrid and it is unsurprising Mourinho was so keen to dwell this week on his elimination of United at Old Trafford in 2013. That 2-1 victory, almost exactly five years ago, was the last time he oversaw an away win in the knockout stages. Even then Madrid were going out before Nani was sent off.

At the end of which, under the De Boer formula, you could make a case, factoring in millions spent and clubs managed (all three winners in recent years, just not under him) that Mourinho is unusually bad at negotiating the sharp end of this competition.

That he is, with two wins in 10 and everything from funds to pedigree in his favour, the worst manager in the past 10 years of the Champions League knockout stages.

Too much? Probably. But the real issue is not his place in the hierarchy of knockout failure.

Instead it is Mourinho’s dogged persistence with an approach that, frankly, no longer works at this level. This was another startling element to Tuesday night. Play the game again, play on for five hours into the night and United still wouldn’t have looked like winning. The obstacle here wasn’t details or form, but a fixed-gear defensive approach in a must-win game at home to the fifth-best team in Spain.

This is not to suggest Mourinho’s methods are failing at United. Winning defensive football is still winning football. United are better than when he came, and will be better still in a year.

It is more a question of whether Mourinho still has the will and the methods to cut it in one-off, fine-point knockout games against the very best.

Right now he appears to be doing what he did at Porto and Inter on such occasions, looking to attack an opponent’s strengths rather than its weaknesses, to win by nullifying space rather than using it to create.


There is an element of the Peter Principle in this. Mourinho got so good at managing underdog teams and wringing the best out of B-list players, that when he was allowed to manage overdog teams, his tactics no longer fit, with A-list players too good to carry out his methods with unquestioning zeal.

nateevs:
Indeed. And unfortunately, apart from Willian, no one on our end was actually taking the game to them.
I expected Hazard to find space against Barcelona over two legs.

I can imagine us beating them over two legs if we had Messi.

i hope they get Madrid next in UCL

Ororo has the antidote for those diving scumbags

kokaneprodigy:
is it that wide?

wider than the toto of an incontinent ashi.

PDPGuy:
I wonder whether Conte could have been more adventurous in the first leg. Because this Barca team are not better than Man City, let alone Juventus.

The ultra-defensive game in the first leg may have cost us, in the long run.

definitely

That being said, dude Messi rolled us over and fücked us with no vaseline.

4 goals over 2 legs - Messi scored 3 and created one.

Tactics or no tactics. That guy was the difference between them and us.

where was morata for that cross?

we cant play cortouis against spurs.

Thats asking for trouble

Chelseafan1:
Too many average players in this team.

mehn Messi has been the difference.

these guys did not outplay us at all.

we made 3 mistakes and Messi capitalised 3 times

Skimpledawg:
