They are a bit weird, if a team is naïve enough to let them "kick it to the fast lad" then they will score 4 or 5 goals, if a team stops them scoring then it has "parked the bus". Our bus outscored 25 opponents this season, their fantastic exciting team only outscored 21 opponents, hard to figure isn't it
Very true... to quote the fat waiter himself... fakhts! As for the paella specialist, he sold Liverpool's most creative midfielder and playmaker for peanuts, arguably gave up all chance of any future silverware... in order to buy Robbie Keane and then keep him on the bench lol. Also, anyone who thinks Fergie only won trophies playing expansive swashbuckling football clearly didn't watch United in his last 6 years in charge.
Some people lose sight of what the game is about, teams/clubs have never competed to entertain (maybe the Globetrotters), they play to win and be the best. Mousers go on about their 5 big ones but seem to forget the team that won most of them were called "the machine" because they were boring and mechanical. It's just a defensive kind of thing because they don't win anything anymore so they have to look for other things to cling to.
You know I don't hold back with my criticism of managers (understatement there) but I've no real complaints about Mourinho. 2016-17 earned him enough credit to be given time to build a squad and system that will will play good football and bring further success. I think our setbacks this season have been down to individual players rather than Mourinho.
One could be forgiven for thinking that he's auditioning for Ben Kingsley's part in some kind of re-make of Sexy Beast.
