Mourinho is a grade A ****. Always has been, always will be <ok>
I think he got away with it at Chelsea because he backed it up with wins and titles. Now he's just a bitch who can't handle the fact his tactics are outdated against the sort of expansive football that teams are now playing. He's signed a couple of duds in Lindelof and Lukaku. Man Utd need better than them if they want to get back to winning titles.

When you look at City, some of those players like Sterling, Otamendi and Delph have been improved by Pep and now play a crucial part in a winning team. Whereas some of the players at Utd seem to be stagnating under Mourinho. Lukaku had a honeymoon period at Utd, but he's being found out now. He's only got something like 3 goals in the last 10 games (?) and watching him today, he just doesn't work hard enough or think quick enough to force the play from the front.

Like I say though, Mourinho is **** so **** him. I hope it all comes crashing down around him.
 
It's more down to his tactics in these big games imo... he's still got this default position of park the bus cos it served him so well for years. Not had the same effect recently though and I think he needs to have a re think for the big games.

Yes this <ok> Mourinho is more concerned with tactics and game plan than actually looking at what individual players can affect a game. He's like a chequebook version of Tony Pulis. Abramovich saw it at Chelsea years ago and sacked him because he played boring football. Utd are going to get more of the same.
