Love him or hate him? He definitely divides opinion, but personally I always enjoyed listening to his interviews.
Not as much as at Barnsley and LJ has escaped it all Put in perspective how can Mourhino get sack and LJ survive
His interview after the Leicester match was however quite pathetic - going on about how his players were average but he'd got em to play above their ability last season. Mmmmm....let's add up the cost of his squad, and work out who chose the team..... He won the league. Nuff said from his point of view. He's great to listen to. Yet nearly impossible to feel sympathy for.
I liked him in his early days. He was a breath of fresh air with what he achieved at Porto & then at Chelsea upsetting the established two horse title race between United & Arsenal. Since he went to Real he's not been the same. Less humour & more bitter & twisted than ever. Embarrassing that with a team which had the riches Real had he just resorted to kicking Barcelona every time he played them after the 5-0 battering they took in his first Madrid - Barca game. I personally think he got away with using a very small squad in Spain because a lot of the games aren't played at a high intensity & the league a less competitive. He tried the same tactics over here with the players having to play at a much higher intensity because every team is competitive but the players were towing by March & struggled over the line. He's tried the same approach this season & the players just haven't got it or aren't willing to produce the kind of battling football he wanted. I think Costa, Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar & co just want to enjoy playing football again.
