Like us he doesn't have quality forwards so he went into the modweek game against the current La Liga leaders with a game plan to win over 2 legs. I don't like the negativity either but its exactly what we did earlier this year at Dortmund & Napoli aswell as against Bayern when we needed to score goals - Mourinho wouldn't have been that negative.
Mourinho won the Champions league with Porto through tactical nous & NO cheque book along with stopping the Barca romp in Spain with their supposed unbeatable team by spending far less than his predecessors.

Mournho is a spoilt brat whom I would love to come across in a dark alley but he is a winner. He breeds that mentality. We have a manager who thinks 4th is wonderful & we should all be so grateful whilst showing his ambitious side by buying a 32 year old Swede with a bad back to save a crumbling season in Jan. Mourinho saw the same need & bought Matic back. Don't say because he had the money, this wasn't a Bale deal! - we should & could have paid that aswell.
That is a phenomenally awesome post. I despise Mourinho as a human being but that man is a tactical genius. People blaming him for playing boring football havent seen Arsenal play the last few years. We probably play one of the most boring form of football I can remember watching. I dont mind being bored if it was part of a tactical plan to something effective. It unfortunately is not... we have no plan B. Sometimes I wonder if we even have a Plan A!
