That doesn't mean he has favourites that will never be able to do any wrong. It's natural that he'll have a perception of each player off the back of what he's seen as an outsider, but I don't feel that this means anything to be honest.
Mourinho is still the best or 1 of the best tactically. Something poch really needs to work on & improve in his next job. I am way more confident in 1 off knock out type games now. But on the other hand I was more confident in Poch lasting long & being a success. It would be unlikely mourinho lasting as long but fingers crossed. If he does then we most have done really well.Definitely I agree, I was talking more along the lines of this seasons run so far and how Poch has waited until it's too late to switch things up. Our boys wouldn't have found a way back into it at 2-0 down indont think but then again asscott has mentioned there's every possibility that Poch wouldn't have started that team and we'd have never found ourselves 2-0 down in the first place.
The main area I was focusing on is our energy and attitude. I personally don't think we'd have found a way to have salvaged last night if the change hadn't occurred. That's more my point just to clarify.
I know you are a long term thinking guy so either mourinho or levy Will have to change to make this work in the long term.
Yeah he has already subbed off one of his favourites in dier before 30mins.

So Poch turns round a 3 goal defiicit away to Ajax in the Semi.......and he got lucky!
Jose turns round a 2 goal deficit at home to Olimpicrapos in the group stage and he's a genius!
I know your'e dislike of Poch is bordering on unhealthy. But this is off the fookin' scale, mate.
ENIC have by and large hired a steady stream of managers who have taken us from 14th to.....14th (ouch)
Apart from AVB, they have been good appointments or at least on Ramos case, appointed after a big season and in demand.
Poch was the second to last piece in our journey of progression as he made us CL regulars.
The right decision was made to better ourselves and go next level.
We did that by hiring Jose.
When we win stuff, you can cry one off the manager who didn’t win stuff. That’s fine, but don’t tell me this club deserves better and deserves silverware if you want a manager that can’t win silverware.
Jose will improve this squad. This squad.
The one you wanted replaced because Poch couldn’t do a job with it any longer.
You have been battered out of the park again by Levy, and you literally don’t know what to think.
“b b b b but it’s been 18 years”
No John. With a world class manager, it’s been 2 games. And 2 wins.
Poch got lucky, as was proven by the fact he was a tactical mess in the following game.
Go and have a wank you angry little man.
For 16 years you were ok with not winning silverware.
For fuck sake Sammy boy, shut the fuck up.
Shut...the...fuck....up
NOW
Shut...the...fuck....up
NOW
Hoddle, Santini, Pleat, sherwood.....yeah great appointments.
14th to 14th you say? Wow. Some achievment there.
And of course we all hope the right decision was made. But as someone pointed out earlier, if results and trophies don't show up, you'll be the first one on here shouting MOURINHO OUT! and pissing on the players again.
It'll always be the manager and the players, Sammy.
That's a Great point Scott.
And one that I'm sure the whole forum will actually agree on.
Yeah many said we need to be patient & it's a long term project. We don't want short term type managers especially ones who leave carnage. Mourinho is a short term manager so either he is a changed man & wants to be more of a long term manager. Or levy has changed from the long term stable project type thinking. Or if not, I guess we are in for high drama between the pair of them & a rollercoaster ride.
