== Come on Jose, you know all about parking the bus ==
With regard to Jose Mourinho's comments the other night, I knew what he
was going to do and say before he said it.
Look around in the world of football — it's not unusual. When you don't
beat a team you are expected to beat, an excuse is usually found from
somewhere.
When a team I've managed have done well, it has invariably been Manchester
United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham having 'off days' rather than that we
were tactically aware and astute at the way we set up.
They had an 'off day' because we didn't allow them to do what they wanted.
His comments apart, Jose was okay after the match. He seems less tense
this time than during his first spell in England, perhaps more sociable.
He says he is the Happy One now and perhaps he is.
He has achieved so much in his life, he should be happy. He knows how to
change his teams and when to change them. You survive in this management
game only if your man-management skills are good and you are tactically
aware. Jose has both those qualities.
What he said about us I take as a great compliment. Jose invented parking
the bus, don't forget. I've played against his Chelsea side at Stamford
Bridge when they've gone 1-0 up and he has put on two defensive
midfielders. I've seen him play direct to Didier Drogba when it's needed.
It's perhaps a bit sad when he says things about teams who have played
well against Chelsea but that is just his character. The last thing I want
is for opposing managers to pat me on the back and tell me what attractive
football my team have played — after we've lost 3-0.
