Is he naming you?
Nah she is not my type
Lucille!I was quite young at the time but the ‘car wash ‘ scene always stuck in my mind
Most managers never say their team could win the league.
He genuinely believed he could, or this was part of his sales pitch (along with learning a new style of football) he made to Levy. Everything was about taking Spurs to the next level.
Didn't he say we could win the league a month ago?
I said the same thing yday but was shot down by Jose fan bois. Fuckers!
His BS then should have him fired surely!
:avbpray:
Mourinho thought Dier and Alderweireld, and others, were top players just being badly managed - I'm sure of it.
What are you going to call yourself when he goes or us Maureen your real name?
If that happens and he gets more money and players he is going to leave us in a really dreadful poisonous mess.
Chelsea and Man United bought their way out of the mess he left them in, we won't have that luxury
Surely any manager of a top half PL side has to say that
Anyone that says ‘oh we’ve got no fucking chance’ would get the boot
Dier is a good player, he's proven to be such, not great but good, highly versatile player that played at the heart of our midfield in the best team we've had in two generations. Toby was one of the League's best CB's for a short period but has reached that time in his career where he is starting to really struggle in an increasing number of games (quite why he went all out to sign him to a massive new deal is a major miss judgement).
I don't blame him for thinking that he could do better than Poch, the ego's and belief most managers need will be seen from anyone else taking the role eg I'm sure Nagglesmann would have the confidence in his own ability to improve on Jose.
But, mangers like Poch or Nagglesmann know that their coaching requires the team to play a system, I think their belief they have is how they get a team to play a certain way, get them to believe in this way. Jose's approach appears to have his players to believe in him (not the system because there isn't one).
I can remember thinking when he joined how odd his comments about the squad were, despite what we all knew, turns out he was just telling Levy what he wanted to hear. No Dan, the squad is great, you don't need to sell most of it and start again.
The alternative isn't the polar opposite! The dialogue is usually "I'll do everything I can". "I want to make the fans proud". Rarely have I heard a manager come out with such a phrase of could win the league.
Find me these other managers that have said this.
