Rafael Van Der Vaart
This could be Mourinho's real legacy.
Well it definitely won’t be winning the league cup. Anyone that thinks that we can beat City again after tonight’s performance is kidding themselves. Yes, we beat them before, but let’s face it, we defended for our lives and defended far better than we normally do. That day we had shape, we had organisation, and all of that appears to have left us behind sometime in 2020. City have kicked in to gear meanwhile. I really can’t see us winning the final.
And what’s more, in the past teams that reach the league cup final then often fall apart for the rest of the season. Certainly it’s what happened to us in 2008, leading to Ramos’s eventual departure. So on that basis, things aren’t likely to end well this season.
