RE: ARSENAL NOW PLAY THE MOURINHO WAY?

in Football on Hive ⚽️3 months ago (edited)

Ah, I don't mind quoting your sentences for Curie's sake. I even need the secret to getting the attention of others like Curie.🙂

As you can imagine, I stand on my ground for it is fair enough. Nobody denies the fact that in this last match the organisation(or defensive nous) of this Arsenal came to the fore. You just read that, that same organisation came to the fore against Brighton. It came to the fore against Manchester City last season. You've also read up there, that it is an integral part of how an Arteta team plays, whether it comes to the fore or not.

To be clear, a prime Mourinho Chelsea defended with a different system to Arsenal's, which included a brute physicality that isn't shy to foul the opponent. And then, whenever they gain possession, they attack in a different fashion to Arsenal's.

Saying my guys played like prime Mou at Chelsea is a loose description of happenings. I'd rather say they played like a Guardiola team, without the ball.
Thanks for adding some flavour to this page.

What you’d ‘rather say’ and the reality of the situation though are 2 different things. It seems like you take it as an insult to be described as playing like a prime Mourinho team. Perhaps that is unfair because of course they won stuff…

No it ain't unfair, that you win trophies doesn't automatically mean your style must be admired by all. That would be belittling humans to look like goats or something, who don't have independent minds.

For me, if there's a proper semblance in style to Mourinho's, I have to admit it whether I like the style or not sir. I dislike sentiments.

It's just that I'm sorry, this isn't the case here. Prime Chelsea Mou, no; Pep's restrictive style without the ball,yes. I see a clear difference in both styles pls.

Thanks for the discourse.
