fergie was recognised for building attacking teams, jose isn't. other fans can respect - not arse kiss as you keep repeating - someone who tries to do that.
What Jose does works and it’s effective. If Fergie is justified in using roughhouse tactics to beat us, then why single out Mourinho for using what’s effective? You can’t talk about a general accepted approach and then throw that in. The way football is played is down to preference. There are some fans out there that can appreciate a defensive masterclass just as much as a goal fest.
