RM comparison with Mourinho from last night

[rbm]

A comparison with Mourinho struck me as I watched Roberto standing on the sideline suffering what was the worst hour of his career.

Remember the 5-0 hammering Barcelona gave Mourinho's Madrid a few years ago. Mourinho deliberately went and stood on the sideline htat night and took the flak, took the ridicule but crucially did not hide away. Bobby reminded me of that last night. Trying to find a way to get us out of the dump without being further mauled but not hiding away in the dugout. Out on the sideline in the rain taking the torrent of humiliation like a man.

Good for him. I am chuffed to bits that such a dignified elegant and articulate football man is the manager of our great great football club. One defeat means nothing. They can have their divers and biters. We have the Grand Old Club that lives in our hearts.

Forza Bobby COYB.

I'm very happy with Martinez so far but this sort of stuff makes me cringe.

He can do one, Moyes wouldn't have let us get so badly hammered. Martinez was a fool last night, his tactics did not work, and he stuck with them and landed us with the worse defeats by them in 32 years.

The other negative for the night was now the rest of the league know how to stuff us, I'm fully expecting 2/3 more of these hammerings this season.

Forza Bobby? Nah you're OK.

Shutup mate.

Shutup mate.

Sorry mate, hard to stomach?

Worse defeat in 32 years by them - true
Martinez was tactically wrong - true
The blueprint to beating us was created - most likely yes
Forza Bobby - No thanks

He could not admit he gambled on injured key players that plotted our downfall LFC did nothing special last night 3 long balls = 3 goals!

What? I don't like everyone up his ass but this is way too far. Moyes is better than Martinez in some ways and Vice versa

Moyes wouldn't have bent over like that for them. He would have sat back after we went one down. Kept a bit of dignity.

I'm no Moyes fan either, hated him for years.

I'm annoyed as anyone that we lost, but what you're saying is embarrassing to yourself.

I'd rather you did one before Martinez, if that's how you really think.

Its not mate. You can't build Rome in a day.

Any team facing Suarez and Sturridge in current form and with the two defenders out will struggle. ATM Suarez in the best striker in the world and that has to be accepted and the best striker in the world plays will with his sidekick. We actually controlled the ball f or long periods but had no strikers to finish the job. That is not the managers fault.

Jags presented a goal to a lethal striekr....is that the manager's fault?

We cannot ask the man to try to build a side which is without fear and then decide that one hammering means that the next fortnight is a trial.

So you're happy with being destroyed by them, fair enough. You need a link back to RAWK or can you find your own way there?

"Just lose by one."

Wonderful approach, that.

 

[caught]

He's had four years of practice at watching his teams get absolutely thrashed and not changing the system. One got the impression that Mourinho masochistically enjoyed the Real hate, and that's not Martinez's character at all. Afterwards, he identified problems of naivety, not tactics, which suggests he doesn't think he got things wrong last night but that the players didn't do their jobs properly.

I think he's done great so far, but there's nothing in particular about last night that deserves much praise.
