Has Jose Mourinho Lost The Plot?

[Hazy2]

Mou, has become such a warped twat he would forsake the whole league programe if he could just beat Barca, he cares not one shit about the big picture, Madrid are now just in white not blue with impersonators of Terry chasing the ref around Cole becoming such a hate figure, Jose is a sick bastard who give nothing back but bad blood.

[Ted Hughes]

I don't know, mate. Pepe was a raging lunatic before Mourinho arrived & Marcelo always had a temper. I don't know if Mourinho instructed his players to play dirty.

He didn't set up his team to kick Barca off the park from the get go, that much was evident. They roughened up in the second half to get back into the game & as I said, there's no excuse for the antics in the end.

I was merely trying to point out that Madrid have made some serious progress on the pitch, football wise & that Mourinho deserves some credit for that.

No, I agree, tactically he was superb 1st half. I said last season; he's proved to me that he's quality & he's developing a method to stop Barca. He had 4-5 players lined up between Barca's defence & Midfield, harrassing, marking players & space & Barca couldn't play at all. If not for inept play by Benzema etc, fucking up easy chances, Real could have been 3-4up.

Then, enter the only real reason Barca are the best team in the world: Lionel Messi. You can stop Barca as a team but Messi can turn any game at any time, he did, so Mourinho went to plan B. Break Messi in two & cause a load of shit to poison the atmoshphere & 'get them at it' for the next time they meet.

Madrid and Jose tactics were the same as the last leg. They were cynical, happy to keep the ball in the air and largely bypassed central midfield, acknowledging Barcelona's enormous quality in those positions it looked to me that Di Maria and Ozil were very good, with great movement, tiring out the Barcelona players with their industry. Ozil was winning balls as if he was a defensive midfielder. He also took up the creative player mantle and created quite a lot, with through balls all over the place. Di Maria tried to dribble more than just run, like Ronaldo, and look for passes/crosses more than Ronaldo.
The stuff that he sent his team to kick Barça of the park is just part of the way you have to play them so if it was thuggish there is no other way

I love seeing a good ruck but Moroniho's antics were a pure shit-houses trick. If you've not got the ball's pal, sit down and shut the fuck up.

He just wanted more attention and I can't believe most of the British football going fan wants him back here. I can understand the media but not the fans.

Oh, and for those who are saying it's all tactical can you please tell me his record over Barca as I'd like to know if these tactics actually work?

[twosips]

Mourinho will never be our manager whilst the Sheikh is in charge...i'm telling you now.

They're all about respect and honour over there and Mourinho would give them a PR nightmare. We are very much a venture for them, with an aim to build a brand. His antics would be frowned upon by Sheikh's peers and it just won't ever happen.

off top of my head, he won one cup against them last year, lost away 5nil in league drew 1-1 at home and got beat over two legs in champs league.

With inter knocked them out of cl.

With chelsea i think he was a few mins from knocking them out until iniesta scored a last min stunner, think barca knocked them out previous year too not sure though.

Thing is, if you were manager of a team about to face best of a generation, what way would you do it? Id def do same as Mourinho, look what happened the rags when they tried to play them? I still think they should of kicked them in cl final this season. Its only way of stopping(more slowing down) there unbeatable force and messi! Would love to see what they would do if messi got a long term injury!

Jose Mourinho is the biggest troll the game ever seen.

Have you seen his face when Tito Vilanova slapped him in response to his ear's pinching ? The man was jacking off mentally, a pure trollface.

When Iniesta scored that lovely piece, Guss Hiddink was at Chelsea. He eliminated Barcelona in 2005, when Ronaldinho scored that incredible goal.

[Rag_hater]

Think that was the last time Barça are gonna win.
From now on I think Real and Jose are going to baet them.

Looking at the stats of 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses since he took over then I'd say that his tactics aren't working, and he's seemed to use the same tactics on each occassion. Yes, we can all say that Barca and Messi are outstanding but when you look at the squad/team that Real have then I'd say he's got to be at least winning a home game.

And, if I was the manager of a Premier team to go up against Barca then I'd most certainly want to do all I can to negate their play whilst still sticking with my own philosophy of playing football, tactics to suit as you may say, but never send your lads out to cause agro and havoc in a vain attempt to somehow show that I couldn't beat them on the pitch, especially with the players I'd have on offer.

So out of 7 games he has lost 3 times.One of the best teams there has ever been beat him 3 time and he has beaten them once doesn't sound to bad to me.Those 3 draws can be looked as Barca failures.
If your gonna say that getting a draw was shit for him why is it not shit for Barca.

I didn't say that though, did I Ragger's. Mourinho was brought in because he is the 'Special One' and able to take a Mega-Star team to the next level, on the pitch. Has he done that, is he capable of beating Barca mano-on-mano?

Well, the stats don't lie and athough this wasn't my point it does go to show, and with his actions on the sidelines, that he cannot do it and has to resort to underhand tactics just to win one game. The point I was making was that his tactics of allowing/telling his players that everything on the field of play is fair game aren't working so why doesn't he get hold of his players and tell them to play footall.

Is that OK?

[brite blu sky]

I just laugh that it is the same people getting involved again. Pinto jumped into it like a dog with rabies: ghghghghrgrgghghghh FIGHT. Didn't see why Ozil got so upset, but looking at his reaction, he must have been seriously angry. Supposedly Villa got send off, so maybe he threw his arms at Ozil. So, I missed what happened to Ozil and I missed why Villa got send off, which he did, according to reports.

As for Mourinho, I appreciate him as a manager, as he's clearly a great manager. However, as a person he's an absolute cunt. He's supposed to set an example, so why the fuck is he doing this like that?

I disagree with the underlined bit, hes there to win football matches, and against rivals its at all costs, everything he does is to rattle there cages and give him a slight edge in beating barca at any cost, granted it doesnt always work but hes got to do it....

Does he, does he really? is that because he can't coach his players to be as effective as Barca's ? some blokes buy bright red super sports cars with a long bonnet... and some blokes... well you get the idea... you cant make up for deficiencies by overreacting.

Lets all face it Mourinho is a LOSER

A loser? Cmon mate dont be silly, mourinho is anything but a loser, he's the complete opposite hes a winner. He is taking on the best team of a generation, what do people want him to do? Send real out to play fancy football and get hammered(see the 5nil last season), at least with Mourinho around theres a chance Barca wont win everything they compete for, it aint pretty but its proved effective for him against them before.

Then why cant he coach his team to be the best in a generation then if he is such a winner? As Ted says he doesn't care about football he just wants to win, BUT he knew he was going to get beat so he responds with the tactics of a loser.
The logic of his approach reduced to the extreme ends up with something like Rollerball where we end up seeing who is best with just 4 players each left on the pitch.. which would again be Barca.

If you cant win by being the best you cheat - that is a decent definition of a poor loser mate.

If all managers adopted his approach we would no longer be watching football mate, as it wouldn't just be Arsenal players diving in the penalty area in the 90th min; it would be a free for all.

Personally if I had my way I would give him a lifetime ban from football .

[ayrshireblue]

The worst thing is that he passed his anger and hate for Barcelona to the players and we can see those dreadful tackles like those that Marcelo or Pepe did.

I would hate those two players to be at City. Both are snidey and commit atrocious fouls yet plead innocence. After the first leg where Pepe should have been sent off he should have been nowhere near the second leg.

What was underhand about what Madrid did?I don't really like crunching tackles and there not that many normally in the La Liga matches I have seen,but Madrid didn't do anything that doesn't go on in the prem every week.Mick Mccarthy's teams have had comments made about them,we have NDJ who is regarded to be somewhat of a hard player and there are plenty more examples.
Valdes was more underhand when he pulled Tranny down for what should have been a penalty and being the shinning light that all Barça players are must have forgot to own up ,wonder why that was.
Jose's team did not cheat any more than Barça did.
Real played football.
It was Barça cheating that brought the match down to the gutter by the play acting and duping the ref they were doing.

PS. Moroninho is a chump.

[Blue in the face]

One thing that has not been mentioned in the media and simply because it was Barca. Did you hear the monkey chants when Marcelo gets sent off?

I heard it before he was sent off. Disgusting. Another thing that will be swept under the carpet whilst Platini busily tries to stop us, as we're bad for football.

Ive watched it twice after reading this and heard no monkey noises. Plenty of booing. No monkey noises.

[Rag_hater]

Barça as club are saintly.

Monkey chants from the fans-impossible

The match had its fair share of controversial moments with Valdes bringing down Ronaldo and Abidal having a handball inside the penalty box ignored.But thats not cheating.
