MOURINHO: 'FELLAINI GIVES US QUALITY'

Mourinho: 'Fellaini gives us quality'

 

José Mourinho has hailed the impact of Marouane Fellaini following Manchester United's 2-1 win over Watford on Saturday night. 


Fellaini made his return to the side following injury, and was instrumental in both goals, as well as playing a key role in front of the defence. 


'We made defensive mistakes against Brighton and Tottenham. Against Brighton, we didn't deserve to win.' Mourinho said after the match. 


'Then we go to two difficult matches, difficult stadiums. Burnley and Watford, and I thought my central defenders needed somebody to support them and give them the first wall of physicality. 


'But Marouane gives us more than that. He gives us quality and simplicity. He is playing simple and well. I am really happy for Marouane. 


'I am very happy. With the points, with the spirit. I feel a bit frustrated because we had everything in the first half to kill the game.'

Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

Man City wakiwa wanaongo za kwa 2-1 dhidi ya Real Madrid huku zikiwa zimebaki dakika si zaidi  ya tatu walionekana kama ingekuwa ni timu ya tatu ya Uingereza kuifunga Madrid kwenye uwanja wa Bernabeu. Lakini vijana hao wa Mancini badala ya kuinza kampeni yao kwa ushindi walijikuta wakiachwa nyuma na kuwaangalia Madrid wakiibuka na ushindi baada ya Karim Benzema kusawazisha na kisha Cristiano Ronaldo kufunga goli la tatu na la ushindi, goli lililomfanya bosi wao Jose Mourinho kuslide uwanjani akishangilia goli hilo na Ronaldo. This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo kept coming inside him. "In the second-half, Vincent Kompany looked at what was happening and came across to that wing more. Ronaldo did not...
