There is a problem I have seen manifested and it's that Mourinho has gotten a bit soft. And I believe this has to do with him winning everything and now wanting to create a legacy.Yes I think that too. At the same time he has had two years now. If they are shite, he really needs to show some balls in terms of offloading and bringing in new players this window. Will be interesting to see how many ins and outs and the signings he has made by the end of the window. Personally if he doesnt get it right I am in the epic meltdown lobby. Regardless of who he signs, the fans wont accept the style of football we have played so far for a third season if we arent winning, three years is plenty long enough time to transition into turnign into a team that is your own, Pochetinno and Klopp have both done it in that period, no trophies but progress and entertaining there fans, without the entertainment element or trophies Mourinho could be doomed
Mourinho offloaded a prime Juan Mata for Oscar because he believed that he would better suit his system. Now he says an older and worse version of Mata is now one of his trusted players, something has changed. He doesn't want to cause another dressing room revolt or rock the boat because he has managed enough clubs for 2-3 years and wants something different.
He has always talked about how Wenger and SAF get a huge amount of respect for sticking with their clubs. And with him getting older, you can understand a slight change in his mindset. Unfortunately, this change in mindset might actually make him a worse manager.
