Mourinho Has An Ability To Change A Game

Jose's absence will not affect us totally although it will be a blow.  Mourinho has a massive presence and having him on the bench helps us enormously.  Mourinho is a marvellous boss and can change a game with his instructions.  That talent makes him the best boss there is.  He has the ability to think on his feet regarding his substitutions and the positional or tactical changes to the shape of the team.  We just look to Mourinho on the bench and we instantly know what we are doing and what we need to correct.
