jdckelly Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Best manager in the world today. It's not even close. better than Pep? Not a hope in hell Easily. Had this one won before a ball had been kicked. If he had it won before it kicked off, why did he have to resort to long balls and putting on three strikers to win it? this. It wasn't some "majestic tactical masterclass" it was fucking desperation and the same kind of thing any manager would bloody do in the same situation and hope it works. Hell Steve McClaren pulled the same trick getting Boro to the UEFA cup final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Mourinho's a tiresome prick with a unfeasibly huge ego, fuelled by the fawning southern journalist wankers that bend over backwards to lick his arse just because he manages a club in an expensive part of London. Indisputably good manager, but I still wish he and the media's 'the [insert anything] one' cliché would fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this one won before a ball had been kicked. Pep is a good manager but by far the most overrated manager around. Mourinho keeps proving himself again and again. If Guardiola can keep at it for another 5 years or so, and not pull a Wenger, he might be in the running. But not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Did he really just claim that he wasn't celebrating the goal when he ran across the touchline with his arms up? Apparently he was actually just off to tell some players they now needed to change tactics.. is this fucker just a compulsive lier or what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Better tactical manager than Pep and Carlo. Brand of football is however quite awful to watch at times. Pep and Carlo over Mou for me purely for entertainment sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager working at the top end of Europe's top leagues is a strong personality. To a point. And some will use it to get performances out of their players, ie. Mourinho, SBR, SAF, etc. And others will alienate them ie. AVB, O'Neil, Souness, Dalglish, etc. Mourinho's players love him just as much as SBRs. The man is doing something right.

Cronky Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 One shrewd tactician who's prepared to back his ideas, and more importantly he gets his players to believe in them. The last ten minutes was nothing but long balls at every opportunity, but they were committed to the tactic and in the end, it paid off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
