Mourinho slams Spurs

MOURINHO'S VIEW
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
Chelsea 0-0 Spurs
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho criticised Tottenham for their approach after the two clubs drew 0-0.

He said: "As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal.

"I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend.

"I'm really frustrated because there was only one team looking to win, they only came not to concede - it's not fair for the football we played."

Mourinho added: "They fell as if they were dead and for five minutes each time, five more minutes when they change a player and they did this all the time.

"We played some fantastic football and we created lots of chances.


Apparently in the Portuguese League away teams are not allowed to play defensively but have to pour men forward to allow the home team to score!

Have your say on 606

"I have no complaints with my players' performance.

"This is a difficult league with everyone losing games. Maybe even Tottenham will lose a game defending with 11 players."

I think he's talking out of his arse Does he seriously expect every team to go to stamford bridge and play with six upfront?(o.k ossie ardiles might have...)

And he has a very selective memory. Chelsea have done pretty much the same(albeit after taking the lead) this season- man utd and birmingham to name two games.

His last comment is retarded too. Criticising tottenham for defending with 11 players... would he be happy if only half his team bothered to do any defending?

Stupid fool!

Can't stand Spurs, but they played it very well I thought.

Bearing in mind Chelsea's resources, it's incredible they can find anything to moan about. There are no excuses for them if they don't win something this year.

He'd better get used to it - few teams are going to go to Stamford Bridge and attack recklessly - Spurs did a superb job, although if Drogba wasn't the French Heskey, Chelsea still would have won.
 






He's a twit, but I can't help liking him, he's well entertaining.

wherever the money is
seeing as one of the best chances fell to Keane who somehow failed to score I think it is just sour grapes.

Wasn't he criticised by Man U when in charge of Porto for exactly the same sort of thing? I know it only came from fergie but maybe its the hunter becoming the hunted !

Spurs aren’t as good as Chelsea but got a credible point at Stamford Bridge and fair play to them.

I don’t mind Mourinho but his Ferguson style rants (they failed to beat Villa because of the ref, and failed to beat Spurs because Tottenham parked their bus in the goal) could get irritating very soon.
 




Great, chelski treat their somewhat likeable (and quite successful) 'fair-play' manager with dis-regard, and take on a whinger who cannot tactically aproach a defensive team at home!!

It's just not fair is it ?! :clap2: :lolol: :tosser:




I think he's looking over his shoulder already - but I hope a previously-respected and historic British club doesn't get screwed up royally by this Russian football-dabbling amateur . He might end up making Bates look angelic! :angel: :nono:
