Mourinho A Bigger Failure Than Wenger? A few points to ponder - TopicsExpress

Mourinho A Bigger Failure Than Wenger? A few points to ponder from this weekend: 1. With an expensively assembled squad having a healthy mix of veterans and players in their prime, Chelsea were one of the big favourites for the title. While Mourinho has taken every opportunity to criticize Wenger, we might see a season where Wenger wins a trophy and Mourinho wins none. Which manager can be said to have failed this year? 2. To see it further in context - this is arguably the first time that Mourinho has a few players who cannot be said to be proven, world-class players (though purchased at significant prices). And he will most likely not have a trophy this year. Wenger has been forced to work with younger, less expensive, worse-paid players for 8 years. Can we see Wengers lack of success in a better context now? Also, can Mourinho build a young side from the ground up? 3. Chelseas failure to break down organised teams was a feature even before January, but there were many games where they only scored after Mata came in and introduced some creativity. While Mata has more or less struggled to have a big impact at United (though he looked better this weekend), can we say Mourinho made a mistake letting him go? 4. Flaminis performance this week highlighted further what a mistake it was to not play him against Chelsea. Wenger knows his value, but doesnt it seems at time that Wenger holds a grudge against Flamini for leaving? Even after the Chelsea game, Wenger justified his decision to have dropped Flamini by saying that they drew 1-1 at Munich with Oxlade starting instead of Flamini - which misses the point a bit. 5. Finally, while Liverpool are being talked up for the title, saying they just need to win all their games now, same is true with City. In fact, City dont even need to win all their games - they can draw against Liverpool and still win the title. Also, Liverpool still need to play Chelsea. It is not in Liverpools hands - it is in Citys.
