Mourinho should be an option on the list, spent more than any other manager, and couldn't finish in the first 2 of any of the 4 competitions he contested. His signings have been poor to, apart from maybe Matic who looks a decent holding player, the others have been disappointing. Benitez and Di Matteo before him, never even got a full year in charge, and they both achieved more. I'm amazed giving RAs history of sacking managers that Mourinho hasn't been sacked yet, as he's had a poor season
Obviously this is just to get a bite but..... Jose had us challenging for the title for the first time since 2010 and had us in the semi finals of the C.L where as last year we didn't get out the group. How can you not grasp that that is progress?!?! As for the money spent, we also recouped a lot of that in the January sales of De Bruyne and Mata. Jose's net spend is therefore not actually as much as you think and surely less than City's and United's in the same period. As for the signings. Van Ginkel was injuried all year, Matic as you admit was a good signing, Schwarzer was always just a back up keeper (and done fine when required) and Willian and Schurrle both had decent first seasons (particularly compared to Ozil, Fellaini, and most of the Spurs lot). Jose could have done better but overall it's laughable to say he was a flop.
All true, but it's easy for Matic to look good as a holding player when 8 other players around him are all holding too.
Willian with his 4 goals and 2 assists in a full season playing as an AM for a side near the top of the table. Even Mata in less than half a season with us has 6 goals and 3 assists He doesn't even play Schurrle every game as he thinks Willians better, that don't say a lot for Schurrle He started to realise what I'd been telling you all since the start of the season, that the guy he placed all his trust in for creativity Oscar, was aload of **** too Hardly any creativity, and ****e forwards after spending 110 million All your good at is parking the bus
Perhaps you could use a few more smileys to illustrate your points? It's lucky all these stats exist otherwise you'd never get by with your 8 year old level football knowledge. Try watching a game. If Oscar is so **** how come he plays regularly for Brazil and has been since about 19? Oscar has been over played for club and county and has been burnt out. He was one of our best players at the start of the season but lets base a player who has been superb for 2 years on the last 2 month. Massive fail. Also not sure what a United fan has to laugh about given this season and the massive squad redevelopment required at old toilet.
So because he's played for Brazil it gives him a Devine right to be rated as a quality footballer? Players like Jo and Fred get a game for Brazil, as does David Luiz and there still ****e. He has not been overplayed, he's been dropped for lots of games this season and has had a lot more rest than some others. I am not basing my opinion on a few months, I told you all last season he was nothing special, and I was shot down for it. Chelsea supporters and Mourinho are finally realising that he flatters to deceive. He always has been an overrated footballer who will never live up to the hype. He's just yet another water carrier, to go with the rest of them in your squad, the only quality attacking player you have is Hazard, and he's being forced to defend
Oh stop trying to make out you're some footballing mystic meg, you compared Oscar to Peter Crouch last season and that is why you were shot down.
Peter Crouch 8 goals 4 assists, Oscar 8 goals 2 assists. Crouch playing in a weaker team is a more creative player than Oscar, the man who was supposed to fill the void left by Mata. 2 assists all season
And you spent £37m on Mata who made three assists. Does that make Mata ****e? No just played out of position and out of form. If oscar plays behind a decent CF next season his stats should improve
Mata only played 15 games for us, and he has more assists than Oscar who played 34 for you guys, all in the number 10 position. Where as like you say Mata was played out wide
Laughable, still sticking to your comment by comparing Crouch to Oscar - smacks of when you said Zola and Bergkamp are overrated . You also mentioned Jose plays defensive football but criticise Oscar's ability because of his lack of assists? Yet again a perfect portrayal of how much of a thick twat you are!
I assume ozil has been included as a wum? 7 goals and 11 assists this season and at various times before his injury he lead the assists table, chances created table and clear cut chances table. It's because of his own lofty standards and high price tag that anyone is even considering saying he hasn't had a good season despite him finishing the season with better stats than most who play the number 10 role and an fa cup winners medal.
All the wigan players got fa cup winners medals last year, and got relegated. Ozil has been ok but done nothing in the big games and looked nowhere near the world class player his price tag suggests. Next season is key for him.
