Mourinho has done that in almost EVERY match though. It's not just against Liverpool. The Liverpool match was just another example of his overly conservative approach that ends up backfiring and getting him fired every 2-3 years. I've seen him park the bus in must-win matches where a draw isn't enough PLENTY of times. It might be OK now, but you really want him doing this when you're fighting for a CL spot towards the end of the season?
I'm far from a Chelsea fan at all. But I remember matches where Chelsea were running RAMPANT. Drogba embarrassing us, Anelka looking filthy, Malouda puttin in work, Mata completely embarrassing opponents (look back at those two seasons before Mata left where he was rated as their best player twice).
Yes Mou is defensive, but can we stop acting like Mou didn't have high scoring games?
Lastly, YES, I want Mou to do what he's doing right now. He's sure'd up our defense, because that was a MAJOR problem of ours (obviously our Midfield was our greatest problem). Everyone said we relied on Davido all day long, finally United is changing that. Hell, we've been making do with Jermaine Jackson at RB for the past few seasons.
Some will say that defense was sured up under LVG, but that's a complete lie. We just never left our half with the ball, and when we did, we passed it around sideways for days.
Mou currently has us playing well defensively and actually leaving our half with the ball with intent (see goals from Mata, Martial, Rashford, less so Ibra in recent games).
We have some position issues (Rooney....figuring out Pogba's perfect combo and position; I remember seeing him on the left, and then defensively when we know he's best being more advanced) which we're figuring out right now.
It's a process and we gotta go through it, everyone's just having a laugh (and I guess rightly so, it's footy) because it took us a few years to get a decent manager in and work out our formula....
