Tactical perfection tbf. Beautiful in its own way.
Fuck off man
An approach like this isn't below Rafa, and if it brought home a European trophy, it would indeed be beautiful.
Can't remember Rafa's Chelsea playing like this against Benfica in the final when he was there, and Benfica were a much better team than this Ajax are
Anyway it's nowhere near beautiful either way
If it were an Italian side, everyone would be, rightly, creaming over the tactical approach. Majestic.
The problem isn't defensive football. It's doing it against a team they could easily beat anyway if they played more exciting football and whose budget they dwarf. If we beat Crewe in a cup game playing like that I wouldn't be happy
This is silly.
Why would Mourinho deliberately not use the tactics he knew would win the game cos a handful of people get upset about them?
There's more than one way to skin a cat, especially when you've got good players, yet that dour cunt always does it in the dullest way imaginable.
