Sicko.
Jose Mourinho. Outplayed, outthought. Again.
Hmmm. 7 league titles in 10 years in 4 different leagues with a UEFA Cup and 3 Champions Leagues thrown in. :o

Quick delete your post and Iâll edit mine.
Quick.
Noted.
The RTE soccer panel. They are shite.
No, I was seething last week when you were mugging me off for spelling Atletico Madrid incorrectly so I take great pleasure in pointing out your mistake
Iâll bite on this one. Clearly Mourinho is an excellent man-manager and he wouldnât have won those trophies if he wasnât. He has done good jobs wherever heâs gone. Closer examination however shows that most of his teams have had outrageous luck. Heâs also been lucky in having huge amounts of money to spent at his clubs.
However none of his teams have been especially attractive to watch, and his conceding of the initiative in the semi-final ties both this year, last year, in 2005 and 2007, and in all Clasico games betrays a fear and a reluctance to fully trust his players that shouldnât be present in the great managers.
At Porto he got lucky, being handed the UEFA Cup by Rab Douglas, beating Manchester United with a lucky away goal off a rebounded free kick right at the end of a match they were outplayed in and kept in by a terrible decision to disallow a Paul Scholes goal which would have made it 2-0. The draw then compoletely opened up for them and they took their chance to beat three very mediocre teams and win the weakest Championsâ League in my memory.
At Chelsea he was lucky in being handed a blank chequebook by Roman Abramovich. Manchester United were going through their weakest years since their era of dominance began in 1993 with Arsenal also beginning their slide away from the peak of '02 and '04. He won two leagues convincingly which is not to be denigrated but failed and failed badly twice aginst inferior Liverpool teams in Europe, granted he was unlucky with the Luis Garcia goal. Chelsea were also throughly outplayed by Barcelona in 2006. Chelsea also lost a league they should probably have won in 2007.
His Championsâ League win with Inter is probably his most impressive achievement, preluded by that superb transfer deal getting Etoâo and getting rid of Zlatan where he for once outfoxed Pep Guardiola. They were unquestionably a terrifically soild unit. I donât really want to go into all this again but the luck they had in that semi-final was obscene, with the ash cloud making Barcelona endure 13 hours on a bus, an offside goal in the first leg and a wrongly disallowed Barca goal at the end of the second leg. Domestically, Inter had already won two leagues in a row under Mancini and Juventus and Milan were at a low ebb. Roma were their main challengers which says it all.
With Madrid, heâs done adequately but hasnât performed to the expected heights. Despite the win on Saturday another match in which they had a huge slice of luck, he has several times failed badly in the matches with Barcelona. The negative approach he brought to the first leg Champions Leaue semi-final and the cup matches this year was an embarrassment to a club with Madridâs tradition of attacking football. Last year he fell short of the points total set by Manuel Pellegriniâs team in 2009-10. Heâs done the business in the league this year, but then again he would have been expected to with a huge squad, vast amounts of money and a squad which has the cream of the worldâs non-Barcelona registered attacking talent. Not to mention a Barcelona team clearly plumming the depths of tiredness for most of the season.
Tonight Madrid deserved exactly what they got. As I said in the previous post, outplayed, outthought and outfought.
Mourinho - an excellent manager no doubt. But overrated.
V good post sid. Where will he go next?
Real Madrid werenât lucky on Saturday night though, Sid.
