That's more like it .... crunching tackles , long range passes and shots , great defensive headers , breaking up play and driving forward with the ball ( better than anyone we have or have had for ages ) ..... can't wait to see him crashing into challenges on the roughneck Madrid players .
Joe Cole was at his best under Mourinho.
That not what HE says .... he loved his time at West Ham but regrets much of his time under Jose , he concedes that he earned England caps but didn't enjoy playing on the left midfield and all the tracking back , covering for the raiding Cashley Cole .
When Joe was young , he was a fantastically gifted ball player who could do unbelievable things but Jose knocked that out of him and turned him into just another hard working midfielder . Before he chose Chelski he was chased endlessly by Fergie who wanted him for ManU .
