England in need of something special


There is now the faintest chance of chances for the special one to become our national coach. To be honest Jose's face (right) pretty much sums up my feelings about it. If he were to take over it would be a great day for all. not onl does he have a bigger ego than all the players in the dressing room but he some kind of football magican. Who takes a small team like Porto to Old Trafford and beats them? Not did he do that but he followed it up by winning the champions league. The year before he won the Uefa Cup with Porto while casually winning the Portuguese league both times. At Porto he created world class players such as carvalho and deco now at Chelsea and Barcelona respectively. Porto throughout those campaigns played with style and flair, picking teams apart almost.
Winning the title with chelsea in his first two seasons in charge, the first one almost at ease with his imaginative style of football. Free flowing and cutting teams to pieces, scoring almost at will. I reme,ber one performance against Norwich, yes i know Norwich, where they absolutely steamrolled over them without even breaking a sweat, the match finished 4-0 but could of and most probably should of been more.
Where Mclaren suffered so horribly, surely Mourinho will flourish. The previous manager failed to react tactically when England were 1-0 up in Russia, even if he wasnt helped out by Gerrard missing an absoulte sitter. Huddink made a sub which eventually won him the match. Jose wouldnt be afraid to pull big names out of the game in order to get a result.
No player would be a automatic choice, well maybe just one John Terry the captain. If Jose did step into the spotlight all of his former chelsea players would be elated and maybe would start to play well for thier country. Lampard's recent performance in the England shirt have been getting increasingly worse. How can a player who is the heartbeat of a double winning team play so badly for his country?. His performances warrant him a place in the squad thanks to his goals and assists but if he doesnt perform he should be on the bench and give someone else a chance.
Even with his dads blessing , he is still likely to join AC Milan, as he would prefer to manage a big club, CLUB being the key word here! Many players have also stated thier wish for Jose to take over. But as usual the FA are sitting on thier arse doing nothing. if anyone was to be sacekd after the Croatia game it should of been Brain Barwick. If i had one word to describe him, i think it would be twat.
If there was any God then Jose would take over, but as i have come to see with English sport is we get so close only to fall at the last, England Rugby team. Even under Sven at least we managed to reach the competition before we fell apart embarrisingly infront of the worlds eyes.
JOSE FOR ENGLAND.
