Blessing in disguise. If United (or anyone really) want to win the CL they have to beat Barcelona, who happen to be their kryptonite. But the deeper in the competition they go the better the chances are of either of us catching them.LoveCity said:Turgid performance by Ronaldo-less Real, 0-0 against bottom of the league Osasuna. Bluemoon's server would fry if it was us. Mourinho appears to have lost much of the dressing room and I wonder if he will still be there to face United. United could beat Real Madrid if they are still like this when those fixtures come around.

I think it will be a totally different team and manager mentally when it comes to the game against the scum...
But looking at the Madrid team without Ronaldo it should be worrying to the hierarchy at Real

Not just the dressing room the fans hate him now too! but that can easily change if he wins the champion league

I agree with everything you said but if Mourinho came to City this summer we'd have a fired up and hungry team next season. The questions come after seasons 2 and/or 3 usually, both Chelsea and Real Madrid players seemed to start losing motivation under him. If our club wanted a short-term blitz of the Premier League and Europe to build our brand and coefficient points we could bring in no better man but there are big questions about him as a long-term manager.
He didn't lose the Chelsea dressing room, he lost the battle with the boardroom (Roman). People forget that in his last full season here, whilst in the middle of a powerstruggle with our owner, he managed a cup double and pushed United to the very end in the league with an injury list so long we had Essien playing as a right back. Everything was going wrong for us towards the end and he still managed to achieve results. What he's dealing with at Madrid is something no manager could handle.LoveCity said:RandomJ said:Anyone wanting Mourinho really should have watched that game.

I'm not saying he lost your dressing room but you can't deny Chelsea had lost some of their vigor under him? Finishing behind United of course but when he was sacked Chelsea were in 5th with patchy results, players not looking motivated, and only 25,000 had turned up to watch the 1-1 draw with Rosenborg in the Champions League. It's similar to the pattern that's happening with him at Real now, the only thing is what would have happened if he had stayed - that is my question about Mourinho, he has never lasted beyond that bad patch to see if his squad can regain that almost drug-induced vigor his teams always have in the first 2-3 years under him.
I see your point, his start to the 07/08 season was pretty dire, but I sense that both he and the players were demoralised by what was going on internally. If Roman had just left him alone we could have dominated for years. Chelsea are traditionally their own worst enemy. Even to this day we're shooting ourselves in the foot.
