A winning mentality is exactly what Chelsea have missed under Mourinho. I won't get into no arguments with you over Conte as you've followed him and his interviews week-in, week-out during his Juventus days, but believe me there is no bigger cry baby than Mourinho. When his teams win it's all about his genius approach, when his team lose or draw it's completely the opposite - his team is either unlucky, players do not perform, players can't handle the pressure, players can't get to his level etc. Mind you this is a manager that has parked three buses against Atletico Madrid at home in that Champions League semifinal. Yes, a very good Atletico Madrid side, but one that was playing primary counter attacking football and most of the teams topped when it came to having possession of the ball. Still, Mourinho went to Madrid defending with 10 players behind the ball, then in the return leg played a formation with 6 defenders on the pitch (Terry, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole, David Luiz, Azpilicueta), one defensive midfielder (Ramires) and one attacking midfielder that has played as a right back for the entire game (Willian). Hazard and Torres the only two forwards allowed to attack against a top Atletico Madrid defensive unit.

The next season, in the last 16 of the same competition, played the same dross against Paris. After 1-1 in Paris, the French team came to London and played with a one man down since the 30th minute. Still, they dominated the game, Mourinho asked Chelsea to defend with 10 behind the ball and it ended 2-2 and we went out.

United - the same story. They are either unlucky or players are not good enough. He's managed to throw his players under the bus already. Rumour is that he thinks the squad is "broken" and needs more money and at least two transfer windows to fix it. All this after spending a fortune just few months ago.

Conte can lift up the players' level and give them their confidence back no matter they are called Hazard or Moses. Mourinho can't. His tactics are outdated and predictable, he needs world class players to bail him out of jail with their individual brilliance. Is Mkhitaryan a poor player? Martial? Shaw? Hell no. But why can't they even get a sniff at the first team (Mkhitaryan, Shaw) or fail to click into it (Martial)? Because Mourinho can't develop players and does not have the patience to wait for them to gel. One poor game and then you are forgotten on the bench. Just yesterday Mourinho's issued a warning to Martial saying if he's not ready to cement his place in the 1st team, others will do. Mind you this is a player that United have payed a fortune for and probably the most rated in their squad. But he is young and we all know Mourinho has an incurable allergy towards youth. Most of the fans in England have laughed at the United fan base last summer when they were all so cocky about appointing Mourinho, saying he'll turn the likes of Rashford and Martial into world beaters. Haha, poor mancs, they should be lucky if these two are still there in two-three years time.

Did we really have good coaches before him tho?

And didn't Italy go to the Euro final before him as well?
Conveniently left out the world cup and pretended the squad is the same, not only the difference of old age of key players but also the fact that there was no balotelli, marchisio or verratti.

Quite impartial :D
