Jose Mourinho XI

Page 1 of 3

posted on 22/10/14

Is it when Jose managed them or is it them at their peak even when JM wasn't managing them. For example Casillas I'd say at his peak was better than Cech but during Jose's time at Madrid Cech was better than Iker if you get me?

Surely Drogba over Costa?
Not sure about Modric as a CAM either

Costa over Drogba? Don't think he is half the player Drogba was yet. I'd swap Modric and Lampard around, and but Makelele next to Modric. Defence and keep, spot on.

When Jose managed them, Costa for me brings more to the game for me he can link up play has better feet and can throw himself about like Drogba.

Modric not as an CAM, Just ahead of the deeper 2.

Play 4-3-3 swap Deco for Maka. Modric for Sneijder. Costa for Drogba.

The lack of Makelele is my main problem with the side

Sneijder for Modric easily. Sneijder should have won the Ballon D'Or that season when they won the treble. He was top scorer at the WC as well

When Jose was managing them...

Cech,
Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, J.Zanetti,
Fabregas, Makelele, Lampard,
Hazard, Drogba, C.Ronaldo,

J.Cesar,
Azpilicueta, Lucio, Samuel, Gallas,
Essien, Matic, Ballack,
A.Robben, D.Costa, Duff.

Makelele was brilliant of course, The trio I picked where IMO the best possible trio out the players he managed, Deco at Porto was unbelievable, As was a much younger Lampard and should I even explain Modric?

I think costa is a better "player" than drogba, drogba obviously a legend though so gotta put drogba in

I don't think Casillas was ever at the level Cech was when both at their peak.

Milky,

Got your chelsea head on there have ya?

Casillas was the best keeper in the world for a while, some of the saves he made for Spain during their 2008 and 2010 wins were amazing just because he isn't what he used to be doesn't diminish the fact he was amazing. You don't stay keeper at Madrid and win 3 international honours and 3 champions leagues without being amazing

fantastic shot stopper but had to parry everything. as an all round keeper doesnt touch cech for me. Cech was the better keeper. Casillas will go down as a better one due to anti-chelsea bias

The best striker to play under Mourinho was Diego Milito. No contest.

posted on 22/10/14

Casillas also won world goalkeeper of the year five times to Cech's one

spanish player> any player playing in england to fifa mate

where lucio in all of this?

posted on 22/10/14

What I feel sets Casillas apart from most keepers is his longevity he won his two champions leagues 14 years apart from around 2007-2010 he was the best keeper in the world closely followed by Buffon. Its not anti-chelsea bias its just how good Casillas is. Also to say he only ever parried shots is ridiculous I'm sorry but Madrid had plenty of money and could easily have got rid at him at any point for any top keeper in the world there is a reason they stuck with him for so long

Surprised people think Costa is a better football player than Drogba - Drogba has much more to his game. Costa is a better finisher.
