The New Manager Thread

[Reece]

I know for a fact that if that was liverpool lastnight there would not be a fraction of the jose bashing thats going on here, of course you will say im talking ****e But im right! but hey its all about opinions.

It's either a fact or just an opinion make your mind up

This has been done to death now, but let me just say that there is so much ****e in football these days that I have lost a hell of a lot of passion for it as it is. If we had to resort to the cynical tactics that every Mourinho team resorts to then I'm not sure I'd want anything to do with it. I'm just don't think I could stomach having that guy as out manager. No doubt that makes me a **** fan in some people's eyes but hey ho I'll get over it.

And that is my last say on the matter as this place is becoming a bloody Jose Mourinho forum.

Because its the best possible time to do it.

But also if it was Liverpool last night the pundits, the press and the fans wouldn't have been falling over themselves to praise Rafa's tactical genius, like they were doing with him.

That makes no sense whatsoever. If he wants to deflect media attention from his players then surely he would do that before the game so that they can concentrate on playing football? I could see logic in that.

What is all the media focus on today?

They are all headings with the title Maurine and not now how the team is full of rejects from so called "bigger Clubs", ie no pressure on his team.

Do you think the media focus should be on the manager today?! Would any other manager talk about themselves and their own career after their team had just secured a place in the CL final?

If it keeps the pressure off the team going into a CL final Yes I do, However if the win the final im sure the team will get their fair share the day after, well maybe 40-60.

[Frenchie]

Well imo no Manager/Player/Owner will sway my support for LFC, But each to their own.

got me wrong dude I was talking about the professional game in general football, the reply was to the post of 'cant beat them join in terms of cheating and general tom ****ery'...

Nothing to do with manager/player/owner... I support through thick and thin since 1968... but I will not support a team of cheats whatever badge they are wearing...which is the route the Kingfunk was on about..er clear..

Clear boss.

Are you on for a shag?

No thanks Mates.

[Mike]

and you expected what? from a team down to ten men for an hour and leading by 2 goals?

FFS your post is bordering on pathetic!!

You cant bear to give the bloke any credit can you?

Spot on mate, pointless post.

[Guest]

no shots on target.....1 at goal during match against easily the best attacking team on the plant and with only 10 men. of course he was always going to defend.

but do people want to critisice rafa this season when we play 2 premier league games and have no shots on taregt in either?!!?

i can defend maureen for it but not rafa given the circumstances.

I've never seen a Rafa team where he put a central defender at left wing and having 0 shots on goal for a whole match, Barca or not. We went to Madrid and beat them FFS.

As much as the numerous Rafa bashing posts I've seen on here.

You criticise the attacking play of Mourinho, when he is going away to the world champions, with a two goal lead, and 10 men for over 60 minutes of the game.

You name me one manager who would attack Barcelona and play right into their hands.

Mourinho got his tactics spot on.
