🚨 Enrique Riquelme: "José Mourinho is a great coach, but in our caase, we believe Real Madrid needs a long-term project for the future, not a short-term band-aid.
We need to completely change course with a medium-term and long-term project.
I'm not a Mourinhista, and I'm not an anti-Mourinhista, I'm a Madridista." @abc_es
Bruno Fernandes broke the Premier League assist record today.
Incredible considering he had none in his first seven games of the season.
An excellent achievement, made all the more impressive when you look at the names on the list 👏
@TheAthleticFC
@FPLStone We played fabulous football in the late summer and autumn.
Then it all went to waste as he couldn’t sort out the egos in the dressing room as suggested.
Idk if Mourinho can get that sorted, for a while maybe, but you need to be winning games to keep everyone tuned in.
I think Real Madrid will regret this Xabi Alonso sacking in the long run.
This group of players have turned into insufferable privileged bunch.
I hope I’m wrong.
@FPLStone I think he is excellent at quickly installing a positional system in which players tend to create a lot of chances for themselves through passing patterns. Def line is dangerously high, but we were 7 pts clear at the top scoring a lot.
That was apparent straight from the CWC.
@NighthawkFPL It’s going to be a short term fix, then it becomes apparent Jose has lost touch with current football and we will look back at another wasted season with a squad of tremendous talent.
Until we start thinking long term and accepting growing pains (Alonso) we will never evolve
These are absolutely the wrong kind of questions.
We should be asking, how can Mourinho start or revive a reasonable sporting project for the future, when he can barely last one season?
How can we elevate dressing room culture with the man who is a personified conflict?
People scared about Mourinho's return need to ask themselves the following questions.
What are you afraid of? Can it really get worse than this? What do you have to lose?
To start the season with Xabi Alonso and end it with Jose Mourinho is a remarkable downfall of a football institution.
It has been one of the worst seasons I remember since '98, but the truly dark days are upon us fellow Madridistas.
The season is 78% complete and this team has been set & forget since Gameweek 1, with a rank of 255th in the world. 🌍

@NighthawkFPL Yeah I understood the remark thank you!
Just wanted to highlight Arsenal’s chances this season, I really really hope you pull this off this time!
