4-0.looking forward to more 'special one' claims

Out of frustration (at not being able to strengthen his squad), and probably the desire to rally everyone at the club, this was what Jose Mourinho said;

Are you up for the challenge of playing without the best goalkeeper in the world, the best central defender in the world..

amongst many things. So frustrated was he that there are talks of him leaving (or being sacked, whichever comes first). For all his achievements, I think it is evident now that the special one is not so special after all. I mean, you don't have John Terry and Petr Cech (in their own right, very good players) but hey, you have a squad full of people capable of turning the game around at their former clubs. And we are talking about huge former clubs here; past Champions League winners. These people can walk into any first teams but under the special one, they are benched. And judging by the way the team performed -associated more with bore than adore- it is hardly because everyone else performed better than them.

So here we have world beaters in one team. And two players with long term injuries (and to add the irony of it, neither were the special one's signings). And we have the special one complaining about having to let 16 and 17 year olds play.

Wenger played youngsters and beat Liverpool 6-3.

When Fergie first fully utilized Giggs, Butt, Scholes, Beckham and (Gary) Neville, people were saying "you can't win the league with kids". Look how many people have eaten their words.

Neither managers ever claim to be special.

Mourinho ni macam akulah. Suka berlagak
