Spurs really don't have tactics. They just pass the ball around and run. Their defense is disheveled. It's all very raw. That's why their games always entertain

Redknapp's a tactical genius don't you know.

I think people mistake his constant twitching on the touchline for tactical adjustments

After wrapping up a 5-0 aggregate victory over Tottenham on Wednesday, the Real Madrid has boss moved closer to a third European crown, having previously claimed the trophy with Porto and Inter.

A tie with arch-rivals Barcelona awaits them in the semi-finals, and Mourinho has plenty previous experience of playing the Catalan outfit in this competition.

"I have to train with ten men, how to play with ten men," Mourinho told ITV on his plans for a meeting with Barcelona.

"I go there with Chelsea, I finish with ten. I go there with Inter, I finish with ten. I have to train to play with ten men because it can happen again."

😆 Its true tbf

Mourinho is such a tit.

He is, but that comment about playing Barca is right on the mark.

What Mourinho fails to acknowledge is that Barca have so much more of the ball than any other team, that you're likely to be defending more against them, thus committing more fouls, and consequently earning more cards. I still hope he beats them, ten men or not

Ricky1985

Exactly, Cali.

And if he's insinuating Barcelona dive their way to an advantage, then he's even more of a tit than I thought he was, considering who he currently manages and has previously managed.

I don't think that he was insinuating that Barca dive to gain advantage Ricky but, as we learnt, referees are quite happy to reduce their opposition to ten at the Camp Nou.

All he's doing is pressuring the ref at Nou Camp to not give any shite calls like Rvp one. Maureen is speaking out because he knows he's going to need every edge he can get.

Haha!

Having just read these last few posts, it's funny how we've laughed at Mourinho for (or denied that he is) insinuating that Barca dive to get an advantage.

They have, they did against Madrid (who played with ten men for a chunk of the game) and they do.

Anyway what are your views on the game lads?
