"He is quite funny, he will not succeed with the three defenders and that is the issue. Stubbornness will not help him and I hope he learn faster and change to the four defenders next match."
@2gbasky4 said:
"I keep telling my friends, it's way bigger than him, he only have one idea and that idea doesn't suit the players... very stubborn and arrogant human being, premier league is not Portuguese league."
