Mourinho is easily the greatest manager of all time.

 

Just a shame we have dropped so many points against all the crap teams. We have barely dropped a point to the top 6.

 

Just watched his all-star team defend 4-5-1 and oftentimes 6-3-1 against an equally talented Liverpool and it is described as highly organised, wonderful tactics, great team work etc and they score off a slip and an absolute breakaway when Liverpool were going all out for an equaliser; not saying they weren't exceptionally well organised and moved around as if tied to each other; BUT when we played 5-4-1 against much better teams than us e.g. Man Utd and Barcelona it was described as anti-football?

Lampard hit the nail on the head. You have to have both sides of the game to be successful - defensive and attacking when required. Chelsea was the better team when they met at Stamford bridge earlier in the season and played attacking then, now they had to come to Anfield where the home team are always attacking.

Apart from bitter tims and SPL fans that hate us, I doubt many criticised us playing negatively against such sides. Apart from opposition players like Messi who were hardly going to praise us.

 

The problem with us is we just started playing 5-4-1 v any old team in Europe and it's embarrassing to be such cowards. We pretty much always play negatively, Chelsea don't. A key difference with Chelsea is they don't play route 1 football. You very rarely see a Jose Mourinho side aimlessly punt the ball up the park, whereas our sides of recent years do it all game.

 

Regarding Mourinho, he has 16 out of 18 points v the top 4 this season.

Yet sit second in the table and, in all probability third after City's game in hand.

 

So tactical genius only counts against the top 4 ? Nonsense. What about all the points he has dropped against inferior opposition, should we just blame that on the players as it wont fit in with your "genius" agenda or fit with your statistics ?
