There's been alot of mixed feeling overs Mourinho over the last couple of days.
How do you guys feel?

Initially, i was really happy with him and i thought he fit in perfectly. Now? Not so much.

He has truly tarnished the name of this great club. Before he came in Madrid were the most respected and class side in the world. I feel now that he has destroyed our reputation with his antics.

That is not it though. Our greats like Casillas, Alonso and Ramos do not seem so keen on Mourinho either. If you see their interviews when questioned about Mourinho, they obviously say good things about him and back him up but you could tell that they do not really feel that way about him. Its like their mouth is saying one thing and their face is disagreeing.

Casillas had to apologise for Mourinho's eyepoke which Mourinho was unhappy about and Ramos and Alonso wer seen to have said one thing about a matter whilst Mour would say something else. Like in our recent loss to Levante, Mourinho actually placed full blame on Khedira whilst Ramos was stated to have disagreed with him and placed blame on the team as a whole.

There is an obvious tension within the team now because players like Casillas are used to the old Madrid, the team with class and respect, a team that does not represent whinging and negative acts on and off the field that is now constantly seen through Mourinho.

Don't get me wrong though, Mourinho is the best coach in the world at the moment. He can do wonders for any club but i just hope he could pick up his act and create a dynasty with us. If not, i hope he wins us titles this year and then leaves.

I'm gonna have to agree with Bast-B. Idk, maybe I expected much more from him because of the wonders he did @ Inter, but one trophy? Really. Fine. Restart. The pre-season revived some hope, but lets be real; it's a pre-season. Then the Super Cup came along. The 2-2 match was more encouraging but in the end we lost so... I'm kinda starting to worry about his coaching ability. As a person, I think he's fine. (Did you guys hear about the barbecue? What about how he helped the kids that couldn't afford another year with CD Canalis? I wrote about that btw ) I hope he can help us win 2 or more titles... and then leave. He's ruining our royal image. Unless he changes his aggressive strategy( we've averaged like a red card per game) and harsh behaviour towards the media, then: Dear Mou, Please win 2 or more titulos and then return to Inter; they need you anyway.

Just read your blog. What an excellent article 'The Two sided Mou' is! Cheers for the insight as i really genuinely enjoyed reading it.

Wow, i never knew Mou was so generous - Good on him! My respect for Mou has sky-rocketed and you pose a really good question by saying why the media hasn't picked any of this up?

I am also really excited to see Sahin play. I cannot wait till he recovers fully. He was literally the reason for Dortmund winning the bundesliga, look at them now.

Neymar has an enormous ego and is very arrogant. His diving is also an issue but my God he can play some quality football. I wouldn't mind getting him but you are right. Just the thought of Barca laying their hands on him is enough to cause nightmares.

This response was initially meant to be a comment on your blog but my computer started acting up and it didn't work so here it is

Aww thanks man

Ikr? The media just blows up what Mou does wrong and the good things are hidden from view. Sad.

I think Madrid's success this year will be (just guessing) from Nuri AND Kaka. Maybe Cr7 and Ozil can jump onto the u-haul as well.

I want Neymar JUST so Barca don't get him. I mean, we are blessed with so many skilled players already. Can you image what he'll be in like 4 years? He could be the world's best!

Thanks for checking my blog I really appreciate it. And thanks for keeping the chat flowin'. That's what keeps this forum alive

No worries
Yea i hate the way the media work...although, Mou didn't do himself any favours by poking Vilanova

Kaka has been so instrumental for us thus far! I truly hope he can keep this form going and bring back the form of the Kaka of old. I have high hopes for Sahin as well and i just hope he fits in to the squad well. He should though as we are in desperate need for someone to play alongside Alonso in the centre. Lass has been off form of late and Khedira is good, but he is no Nuri Sahin.
I especially like the way CR7 is playing this year. Last season he was mainly focused on placing the ball behind the net and wasn't really keen on passing the ball. Now however, his whole gameplay has changed and i really like the fact that he is building up his assists and his general team play. His role in Higuain's last goal was a great indicator of his self-lessness as he could've easily gone for goal himself and the Goal against Ajax was just........Wow...one of the best goals i've seen in a long time and Ronaldo was the most vocal player in that build up.

I love Ozil and i always have but i agree with you on that he wont be the stand out player he was last year. He will ofcourse be one of the main men but last year i think he (or) CR7 were THE men in our squad. He will still be brilliant and i am just soo darn excited to watching the team play together again.

These international breaks can be so annoying lol.

I FULLY agree with you on the Neymar case. If Barca go for him then we must NOT let them get him.Lol

I like your blog and i will check it often, and yea thank you as well for keeping the convo going. More people need to stop just viewing this and actually get their voices out and make this forum come alive.

Although, the coming weeks i will be less involved as i have my final exams and i need to seriously hit the books.

I found this comment posted on another forum and thought it just summarised our team beautifully.

I agree whole heartedly with this. I currently LOVE what i am seeing with our team.

HALA MADRID!

I agree too.
And there is one thing that I like a lot. Mou changes pieces each match and the team still working very well. For example, I really like Özil, but yesterday he wasn't on the line-up and I didn't miss him. And the same with Higuain.

I think that maybe Mou is a little arrogant, but the work he is doing with the team is brilliant. Nobody can doubt it.
