Mou and Wenger, what the hell?

The first fixtures of the EPL has just gone by and boy was it interesting. Our favorite Tom and Jerry managers Mourinho and Wenger had a lot mapped out for we there loving fans. Those two are never short of intrigue. Our two legendary managers not long after loosing quite an amount of respect from fans all over the world by deciding to act like two females fighting, by choosing to snub themselves at Wembley. They decided to go ahead and loose some points as well to weaker oppositions where they were expected to get maximum result.
Mourinho, instead of focusing on his team’s unusual school boy defending, and inability to control the game, also the fact that his better than Ronaldo Hazard was barely effective in the game.Instead of facing the clear issues, he instead decided to take out his frustration on poor female medical staff Eva Carneiro, calling her naive. Typical Mou, trying to get the media to focus on his tantrums rather than his team’s shortcomings. That was bad though, because Carneiro and head physio Fearn have now been stripped off their duties and will no longer be with the team during match days. So Carneiro is being punished for doing her job perfectly. A player is fouled and doesn’t get up, the referee sees the injury as serious enough to summon the medical staff.
“I wasn’t happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game. You have to know that you have one player less and if you go to the pitch to assist a player then you must be sure that a player has a serious problem. I was sure that Eden didn’t have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very tired. My medical department left me with eight fit [outfield] players in a counterattack after a set piece and we were worried we didn’t have enough players left.” -Mourinho
According to Mou, the medical staff were too quick to react that it wasn’t that serious, if it wasn’t serious why didn’t Hazard stand up immediately? was he being theatrical? then he should be criticized rather than the medical team. Since when do workers get sacked for being too early to work? He could have instead done the usual, criticize the referee. And by the way, Chelsea were not even close to scoring, nor were they in danger of conceding at that point.I believe there is much more going on behind the scenes to warrant such behavior from Mourinho towards Eva Carneiro. At least luckily for Chelsea they finished with a draw, unlike their North London rivals.
Arsenal were seriously appalling against West ham. A real reality check from Cech. He had a really miserable day. Mourinho surely mustered a smile when told about Cech’s performance against West ham. Cech was at fault for both goals on the day. It wasn’t just him who had a terrible match day though, all the players did. But I doubt any of them was as embarrassed as much as Mesut Ozil though, the mighty wizard of Oz, who was unfortunately found creeping out of the pocket of 16 year old Reece Oxford. Oxford totally marked Ozil out of the game.
Oxford is going to pick up his GCSE results with Ozil in his pocket.

Ozil has been magical today… Disappeared for most of the game only to pop up when giving away cheap fouls.

“What’s in your pocket Reece?”
“Ah! Nothing mum, just a pack of skittles and an Ozil.”

And what was Wenger’s response to such nonsense? that he’s team was nervous, that West ham was much more prepared. Can you imagine? the same Arsenal who steamrolled all through preseason playing the likes of Lyon and Wolfsburg while West ham was busy playing Petersborough, FC Lusitans, Colchester and getting kicked out from Europa by Astra Giurgiu, a team I can barely pronounce.What is difficult in being straight up and facing the teams naivety clearly and show us, the fans that you actually know how bad the team looked. Maybe he’s trying to avoid the obvious question of the team lacking an extra striker. Arsenal and Wenger need to wake up, in order to avoid being left behind so early, just like last season.
