The thing is he doesn't Jordan.. our best run was with granero , our worst recent results was with Khedira..
Jose being gone is not a subject to debate in my mind , for me it's a done deal since the first copa clasico
So glad people are seeing the truth. I will soon start a Khedira out, Javi in (Javi being, either Garcia or Martinez) campaign. I will wait until the end of the season though. The problem is not that Khedira is a bad player or something, and he is normally Madrid caliber but that is just it, normally. This is not a normal era, this is not a normal league, this is not a normal competition. Normally Khedira would be enough because no one wins leagues 95 points +. This is absurd, but you need much more than just cautious and protectionist metallity. My friends are saying that Granero wouldn't have made a difference, or that we would have lost, the point is that we did lose 2 points and that at this stage of the season when Barcelona are going full throttle there is no point in being cautious. All chips in, and go for it.
Mourinho though is a bit of a coward in that at the same stage last season he fucked up against Osasuna (the game I remember) because he was so stubborn and afraid to change. The Bernabeu showed him the way, the light, what we expect, want and need. He did conform for about two games then grew uncomfortable, blamed the fans saying they get bored (when no one actually did get bored) and reverted back to his ways.
Karana now speaks a lot of shit too, he better shut his mouth up. How I loved the unity and excitement Capello made in his last few months (I admit I am a bit of a fanboy) in that he called the last 13 matches the final 13. Mourinho and Karanka are still worried about Pep.
