Mourinho saying Utd controlled the game and Spurs only had 1 chance. So parking the bus is now "controlling the game". What he means is "we killed the game with our boring football then scored on the break"
YupI bet you wish Pool cold have won some of their last half doz games.
But we have Adair few who want style over results
What it showed is that in big matches you just have to be solid defensively first and foremost. It could well have been a draw. What we did at Spurs was exactly what we shouldn't be doing. We defended like a pub team and we got punished.
Mourinho set up a strong defence first then set out to win by the lone goal. To be fair you sensed that the goal was coming whether in the 60th or in the 80th. And it was always going to be a 1-0 or 0-1 match.
It seems it is only our matches that involve 4 or 5 goals.![]()
Mourinho showing yet again that this game is about clean sheets before entertainment. I hate how negative he is, strangling the life out of games, but it is effective.
Next Sunday...........Citeh v Arsenal........Chelsea v Man U.........................................we play West Ham on Saturday (5:30)
Effective? After playing 7 of the bottom 8, the most expensive team in the history of the game is "only" 5 points and 10GD off the top of the league thanks to bringing on a £50m sub

the most expensive team in the league is City and they are top of the league.Effective? After playing 7 of the bottom 8, the most expensive team in the history of the game is "only" 5 points and 10GD off the top of the league thanks to bringing on a £50m sub
