Jose Mourinho | Sacked by Roma

This was from ETH a few days ago

Ten Hag tries to set the right tone during games by keeping his emotions in check. “I think that I’m always in control. One of my communication managers once told me, ‘Everyone in the stadium can be in the red zone, but never the manager.’ ” Even with mistakes by players and officials, he tries to maintain control. “Yes. I try. But I know as a manager, nowadays especially with VAR, you don’t have so much influence [on decisions]. So focus on the game, focus on your players, instruct your coaches.”

Compare that to what Mourinho was doing yesterday, from the first minute. Constantly hounding the refs, moaning about every little thing. It was pissing me off. I'm glad he lost, the twat.

And now I see he's trying to engineer his way out of Roma. Ah some things never change eh! For someone who claims to love football, he's looks so miserable. Think he needs a break from the game.

They played a CL SF with Di Francesco just five short years ago....

Was that side that much better than now? Alisson quality who was quickly snapped up but Fazio was linchpin of that defence that got destroyed by high line at Anfield and rest of side was similar quality to what they have now apart from Dzeko.

Also forgot they played that Europa SF with Man. United just two years back under Fonesca.

So main difference is with Mourinho they at least don't implode in SFs and can get to play finals but bit bemused by this sudden narrative Roma are complete minnows on european stage, they should always be in the mix for Quarters and odd SF if they're in either europa competition.

Ultimately their Serie A performance has been disappointing again when you add in Juventus points deduction.

Not as though their performance in the SF was in any way convincing. They were jammy as feck to get through that round.
 
Sounds like Anthony Taylor had another storming performance... how many yellow cards? Half the number of players on the field...

It was 13 plus whatever he dished out to the benches. Which I have read could have been more than he gave on the field.
 
Things that never change on this forum: our current manager is the Second Coming and our previous managers were complete dolts.

I thought he did reasonably well. The players and the benches of both teams were embarrassing throughout the game. Constantly swarming around him or yelling/gesticulating from the technical area and trying to milk every decision. It was also a tough game, quite physical and with lots of elbows flying. I think Taylor managed to keep it under control.

I also don't think Mourinho has a leg to stand on. It's his usual show after a big defeat. Sevilla's initial penalty decision was quickly overturned for the slightest of touches on the ball and, toward the end, Roma were getting a free kick every time their players were falling down near the box.

Anyway, i kind of feel Mou's frustration. Fifteen years ago, this could have been another Mourinho masterclass. Shut down shop, defend the central channels, score a goal from a mistake in the midfield. It just doesn't work like it used to anymore. It did the job in Leverkusen, but with the half-time subs Sevilla managed to turn the tide and gain some rhythm. In the end, Mourinho lives and dies by the sword. Had he won, he could have afforded to be smug. Now, he'll have to explain to the new boss-lady at Roma how not being able to string three passes together in the attacking half is the way forward.

He clearly does not love football, of that I'm certain.
 
Brilliant how someone can win this much have this much success and still be such a petulant little loser. Pretty sure Mourinho told the Dutch press that he doesn't cry after losing a game and moves on to the next. Take your own advice little Jose.

The game needs a break from him.

Between throwing the medal away and the car park incident, I’m starting to think Mourinho has run out of ideas.
 
Classic toxic Mourinho, berating the ref and blaming all but himself.

His pragmatic, ‘winning’ football saw Roma take the lead and then do nothing then lose.

It was one of the most difficult games to ref, play acting on and off the pitch, it was a good job no one was sent off. He wasn’t responsible for the tumescent football from both teams.

Thought it was a similar game to 2010 World cup final. Howard Webb got endless stick after that (mainly for missing the De Jong karate kick) but sometimes games are near impossible to manage due to the conduct of players and both benches and that was one.

Of the big decisions he got the Sevilla penalty wrong and that got VAR overturned pretty quickly so that was a good implementation. The Roma handball shout was more subjective and some refs would've given it (and it wouldn't have been overturned) so that's a decision Mourinho can have qualms about.

Patricio was miles off his line for the penalty save, not even close so by the rules penalty had to be re-taken even if you don't see that happen much in shoot outs.
 
Was rooting for Roma, and would have enjoyed Sevilla losing to a team that's even more cynical than they are, and with a better finisher Roma would have taken it.
 
Despite hating him towards the end of his tenure here I wanted Mourinho being an ex-red (coupled with hate for Sevilla) to win last night but having watched the game what's clear is he is 1. still a twat, maybe even worse than before 2. completely unsuited to managing at the highest level anymore.

If he goes to PSG it will be an unmitigated disaster. He should try out punditry again or go into international management. Alternatively he could just take a big pay day and go manage in the Saudi league, it would be better for his sanity.

If there was any justice then Seville would have about 3 players sent off in every game they play for their embarrassing antics and niggle fouls.

Don't think I've ever disliked a team as much as them and I remember Mourinho's Porto and have seen plenty of Simeone's Atletico. They really know how to suck the joy out of the beautiful game.
 
Genuinely think that football and all that surrounds it will be a better place when this toxic cnut leaves. He is just a negative force on the game, IMO.

The worst thing is how utterly predictable it is. Sometimes games take a life if their own with niggle based on something that happened in the game. Mourinho games are always shitshows, you knew this before you started watching and always turns out the case (Sevilla shithouses as well of course).
 
As much as his football can be labelled anti-football, i think he'd win the CL with PSG. It would be dire football, but his tactics work well in knockout competitions.

He didn't win one since 2010, this is washed up Jose. He wouldn't win CL with PSG, even with lot of resources Pep struggled to win one in last 10 years.

I don't think so, hasn't been to the final since 2010, hasn't been to the semi-final since 2014.

Why? Sevill can at least play football.

They can and yet choose to be incredibly cynical, whereas Roma are much more limited.

Plus the obscene amount of luck they had against us was frustrating, I would have liked them to get the same feeling of being robbed.
 
Davis Moyes will equal his best achievement in the last 5 years next week.
 
I am so sick and tired of Mourinho. Horrible human being - and now also a mediocre manager

We lost because of our incredible wastefulness in front of the goal in the first leg which should have ended like 4-0. We always make the mistake of sitting back near the end which is something we should be working on. They were lucky in the first leg but completely outplayed in the second leg. I didn't see anything cynical other than the usual timewasting stuff in the second leg.
