Jose Mourinho lost some of his aura?in the PL
Lost his aura is an understatement. This is a man who has won multiple champions league medals, and topped leagues all over Europe. I think it's time now he packed it in. He's gone downhill fast. Players don't seem to trust him, and he's become inconsistent. That's not to say United isn't winning games. But he steered Chelsea into a melt down last season. And United have had a few hidings of their own. Plus a real drop in quality on their European nights. I think maybe Jose needs a year off.
Best manager this year so far though. It's a tough call. Conte has been good, but one could argue that being out of Europe has helped Chelsea immensely. Raneieri has really shown what a flash in the pan Leicester was last year. Klopp, he's really taking on all comers and doing it well. Arsene is as usual; 4th or bust, don't play to win, play not to lose shit. Guardiola i dont think knew what he was getting into. This isn't Spain where you have shitty teams to destroy with the worlds best front line every weekend.
Pochettino though, he looks impressive. Making all of his players a threat, getting everyone to try for goal. This is a guy who clearly studies film after film, and is really working on a game plan. Honestly: as much as I hate Spurs, I think Mauricio is doing one hell of a job keeping them going. By now they'd have normally sold their best players, bought some shit fuck boys, and called it "reconstruction" but it really seems like they're holding their own and definite title challengers. They're going to win the league soon. Maybe this year, maybe next, but that work is going to pay off.
