"But can he win MLS?" - The Jose Mourinho Thread

Ozil has been in horrible form since the start of the season, and Di Maria hasn't been much better. Clearly playing them all the time without putting heat on their ass isnt working. It is hypocritical of Mourinho to bench Ramos or Benzema to get them to improve their performance and then promote favoritism when it comes to Kaka. Callejon is also part of that favoritism; hes a hard worker and a good finisher, but the amount of minutes he gets in comparison to Kaka is plain unfair. I dont want Kaka to be a starter, far from it, but sitting out match after match is simply outrageous as he's been in good form. Not to mention he usually has great influence on the fluidity of play of Madrid, which right now is sorely lacking.

 

Your bias is blinding you.

Ozil has been benched many times this season, including this past match against Manchester City.

 

With regards to his form, it has been too little imo. Hes been nothing short of dreadful. Kaka hasn't disappointed in the few meaningless minutes he got (he was great in the Cup game and against Ajax and did quite well in the little time he got vs. Dortmund) and hes been fantastic for Brazil. if Mourinho is rotating the striker spot between Benzema and Higuain, then Kaka should get a lot more time at the expense of Ozil. Not asking for 50-50, but right now its like 95-5 in favor of Ozil, which doesnt correspond with the form and quality of the two players. Modric is essentially playing another position, so he isn't really a direct competitor for the spot, while Callejon is more of a replacement for Di maria, although there are times when Kaka should play ahead of him.

 

I dont know which media is that, but the only thing that is correct is that he is good at set pieces. In the flow of the game, hes generally invisible or completely erratic, bad touches, passes and decisions all over the place.

Once again, I am not advocating that Kaka should be a starter. I'm saying Mourinho is treating him unfairly and that he should be more often on the pitch, thats all. And with the way Madrid have been playing lately, with complete lack of cohesion and fluency in attack, a lot of it is due to Ozil's lethargy. Kaka is better at linkup and a bigger goalscoring threat from him, despite Ozil's set pieces. Xabi can do that too after all.

 

Oh I know. But its a shame nonetheless and I think its should be recognized as such. I think the fans indifference to the issue allows Mou to keep that injustice going, there should be more public pressure on him to play Kaka, because in all honesty the guy deserves it and its pretty much (more) money down the drain this way.

Its strange how Florentino doesn't interfere in favor of Kaka, its his galactico buy.

 

I believe it's his last season whatever happens some "mutual" contract termination as when he left Chelsea as there's no way his ego is having a firing on his perfect CV.

 

Just wondering if the team loses this weekend to we come here to rail against Mourinho or will there be deathwatch/countdown to termination thread.

 

Just read that Jose Mourinho is now the longest tenured coach in Primera (Pochettino was let go by Espanyol).

Yeah baby. Das wa yew call es-ta-beel-ity!!

 

Lordy. Two and a half seasons is the highest?

 

Well, Pepe Mel (Betis) and Paco Herrera (Celta) have been with their clubs longer... but some of that tenure was in Segunda.

 

That's good news. Now we can fire him and maintain that it is not because the club lacks stability but because we are progressive and decided to move forward in a new direction.

 

My Lord that is horrible. No wonder the media is getting restless.

 

So Del Bosque is making sure everyone knows he voted for Guardiola for the Balon D'or. I am starting to think he is just being smart, knowing that its basically between him and Mourinho so might as well not give my vote to my competition.

 

A pro Mourinho campaign is gathering steam on twitter. The plan is to 'unleash' a hashtag tomorrow in an attempt to make it one of the top trending topics.

#SoyMadridistaYDeMou

 

Not to defend Valdano in any way, but he has a regular appearance slot on El Larguero so you know the people on that show are just going to tee up those questions.

 

Pep and Mou are just hiding a relationship that will soon be known to all.

 

If Mou leaves we can bring:
