I have been critical of Mourinho since he joined and like many was not keen on his appointment. Having looked over our season since he joined I am willing to reassess and give him some praise. I think he has done a decent job, in the league anyway.
Before he came in in November we hadn't won 2 league games on the bounce since the season before in April, and hadn't beaten one of the league's big teams since the November before that. We have beaten 2 teams on the bounce on 4 different occasions with Jose, and managed to beat City and Arsenal this year.
I don't want this to be a Poch vs Jose comparison or suggest that one is doing a better job than the other. There were different circumstances with Poch and I thought he was unlucky with fixtures and other things. I can only imagine where Jose's head would be at if he had endured the lack of support from the board over several years.
Anyway, this is about Jose and I think he's done decent. You can't really argue with it if we've been in the top 4 form table since he arrived.
It's definitely not great overall as we went out of the cups very easily, and I believe we should have been involved in a top 4 race right to the wire, instead of that being out of the question with 2 games to go. Certain results dating back to the Chelsea loss at home up to the feeble Bournemouth draw have come back to bite us.
Nevertheless, there has been some recent improvement and this should be continuing on to the next 2 games and the new season. A win against Leicester I would consider another big result to add to the collection. At the least I would expect us to give them a good game.
Cautiously optimistic. Onwards and hopefully upwards.
Some praise for Mourinho

Top 4 and a Trophy next season, or there’s been no improvement.
Simple as that.

If we win a semi final do think Jose will cry?

Wouldn’t he need to actually qualify for a semi final first? Could have sworn we got knocked out of the two cup competitions he was involved in.
As for next season, I’m sure ropey league qualify stages will be just as exciting as reaching the CL final.

Real men don't cry, or at least over a game of football. It's embarrassing.

Rather a manager who actually cares than a mercenary has been only here to pick up his pay-check
The Special Once always looks completely disinterested in his interviews like he’d rather be anywhere else.
