It wasn't actually that bad for the most part, like you said the last couple of months were hard to stomach but I'm putting it down to circumstance. A definite improvement on Moyes and LvG though.
I wasn't entirely comfortable with his public criticisms either, but Jones and Smalling have been stealing a living for years now, and leg break aside Shaw has spent most of his time injured or not fit enough. If anything he was just telling them the writing is on the wall.
I sense you're not a big JM fan, which is fine, but the last couple of years the media have really gone with this 'boring angry Mourinho" shit. His own actions haven't helped, but it's become pervasive amongst our own fans now, to the point where journos can peddle these 'fake news' articles without being called out on it.
To make a final point, I don't think Pogba or Zlatan would have joined if LvG was still manager, and Morata wouldn't be considering it either. So we should thankful for Mourinho's influence in that regard.
I would prefer a pragmatic master class against Chelsea vs a drubbing with fancy football ala Arsenal get against the likes of Bayern any day of the week. .
Christ, give it a rest - your posts are repetitive.
Jose's first Chelsea side and Porto side were a joy to watch. His Real Madrid side scored over 100 goals in a season.
Your argument is hugely flawed and uses lazy cliches. Also, this is the wrong thread for it so why not go and moan about Mourinho in the proper thread.
And you still haven t given examples of how this has stopped Mourinho from signing players in the past due to his 'dull football'
In fact you just said in your earlier post that it would be impossible to find out.
With regards to transfers, Mourinho is clearly a huge draw. Pogba or Mkhitryan would never have signed for Moyes for example. Some players won't come to him the same way any manager in the world wouldn't draw absolutely everyone.Why is that?
Sure, flavours aren't to be discussed but when you're parking the bus against the likes of Celta, Anderlecht and Ajax, it begs the question.
Are you 12? His Porto side was as negative as his Chelsea side, if not worst. He racked up 100 goals with Madrid back when it was a 2 team league.
If you don't like it, don't read it idc.
Yeah you keep ignoring and keep twisting my words the way it suits you, utterly pointless to talk any further.

As to style of play, not really the thread for it but needless to say he rarely played very negative football last season. He only did so when the situation demanded it and that's his job as a manager. Fergie did the same.
Do you mean LB? Maybe Mourinho will give Shaw another chance. Or sign a new LB.We'd surely need a replacement if Darmian goes? He is first choice RB

We bought him for more.
In pound terms at least.

Valencia? Maybe we want to sign Semedo or Mendy who knows.We'd surely need a replacement if Darmian goes? He is first choice RB

Yes, I obviously meant LB but everyone is pretending that's not obvious.

Mourinho did what he could with the dross he had, he even improved Fellaini, sometimes it was best to defend and play it safe, especially in the Europa, a lot was at stake in that competition. Judge Jose by next year's football.
They follow a pattern. This is their "not for now" patrern. If they get Mbappe that's it. If they don't sign him for some reason (increasingly unlikely) they'll be back.Fair enough.
But all the noise coming from the Madrid media is about how Madrid have ended all interest in David. Apparently because the players prefer Navas.
Think David will be here next season.
He has some knowledge I think. He called the price tag of Lindelof and said deal will be done within day or two and last night we announced it.Tancredi is a tit but I hope he's right about this.
I canIf this is true, we're probably just keeping a 2nd option open in case something happens and Morata transfer fails. I can't see us spending close to 170m euros on 2 strikers.
Unless Belotti is going to cost over £100m it wouldn't be close to that. Think we'd get him for less than Morata.If this is true, we're probably just keeping a 2nd option open in case something happens and Morata transfer fails. I can't see us spending close to 170m euros on 2 strikers.
Fellaini was pretty solid during the last year of LVG's reign tbh, so don't really get how he improved him. He was doing the same he's doing now.
