[ITA] Serie A 2008/2009 (36 Viewers)

[Badass J Elkann]

Man Utd's defense is stronger than you give them credit for. Plus they're a clinical team, they don't need a lot of chances to finish you off. That was evident from their past 4 matches barring Chelsea, where they barely created any chances but won the game nonetheless.

inter's defence is not that much worse than man utd's when samuel is in there, with burdisso and materazzi it's a different matter entirely

If he doesn't win the Serie A then thats as big a failure as it gets, with the squad he has, he is obliged to win the league, no two ways about it. Theres nothing more i'd love than to see Mourinho fail.

I never thought it was possible for me to hate a football personality more than Purple Face, and then along came the "Special One"

Moroniho is a very good manager who has not been outwitted that often, as the league testifies. He has a good squad but needs to shape it more to his style (blooming boring) which is effective. They will probably win the league, but if I had to put my hand in the fire I would back AC.

 

[Stephan]

Inters result doesnt come as a surprise. Even with Chelsea, Mourinho occasionally lost an odd game, but then got straight back. Its very obvious though that Inter are still very Ibra dependent, and the bought players havent really bought success.

To be honest, Mancini and Quaresma doesnt sound like typical Mourinho signings.


But in the end, they are still leading. And thats what matters.

A few calls that came Inter's way, and sometimes the fact that he has such a superior squad covered up for his tactical failures more than once. Forget the numbers and watch the matches, he was outwitted a number of times, but got away with it.

On the contraray, they were typical Mourinho signings in the sense that they were bought so he could play his 4-3-3.

 

[Stephan]

Mourinho was brought for the CL more than it was for the league.

cause the league is already bought anyway eh? :evil:

Fergi is a man if the people, who would rather die than let down one of his own.

Unlike Scollora.

I watch plenty, and luck comes for those make it.
Just can't agree with you.

Remember lucky, lucky Arsenal.

i understand your point, its the quality i am refering to. I mean Roma fans can tell you all about Mancinis consistency. And Quaresma, he hasnt really produced it in big sides, or has he?

With the money, inter has, maybe could have got better ones.

And from what i have heard, inter fans aint really found of neither.

Exactly. he is the only personality in football I can't stand, oh and not to forget Muntari too. Lippi described Mourinho very well, even thou he was praising.. He said Mourinho's quality is about the motivating and good relationship with players, mind games and all. He is not any special tactic wise..

 

[bianconero]

I never liked Mancini, can't tell you why: he played well at times but I couldn't and wouldn't have him in my team.


Anyone else think that well have a tear and hug fest tomorrow, as Silvio and Ricardo embrace and tell of their mutual live for AC?

Exactly.

The fact that Inter has a superior squad is what makes them create their luck, i never said Inter were lucky, i said Mourinho was.

Well!

He is one lucky bugger, and I'll give you he has dull tactics, just like certain reveared Italian managers, but they are effective and proven.

Well!

But he hasn't really changed anything at Inter, he hasn't improved them or made them better, on the contraray, Mancini's Inter were much stronger imo. It has nothing to do with dull tactics.

Bear in mind, i'm not saying Mourinho is not a great coach, i'm saying he hasn't done that much of a good job in Inter, and that he is not a great tactican.

 

[bianconero]

I've always felt he felt that Inter was a step down. He waited for a big club to come callung for him, and if I could read his mind, a big club would mean: Juve, Ac, Man Utd, Real, Barca.

He never has been a happy bunny.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

if he was juve's manager he would put giovinco back in the primavera

 

[Fred]

If he was Juve's manager and he made such mistakes in the Mercato. He probably would have failed miserably, as Juve wouldn't be able to afford his expensive mistakes like Chelsea or Moratti could.
