Mourinho names the biggest divers

[Marzelius]

Jose Mourinho has named and shamed the players he feels are the biggest divers in The Premier League.

 

"I am no longer Chelsea manager and I don't have to defend them so I think it's correct if I say [Didier] Drogba is a diver," stated Mourinho.

 

"[Cristiano] Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Robin van Persie are the divers who won more penalties during the last four or five years.

WTF, when has Torres dived for a penelty??

[Stouffer]

Surley he meant Gerrard.

[philyhamann]

Well Torres does get stick for diving, but he more goes down easily under the challenge than anything or "wins" the ball. The line between diving and "winning a freekick" is becoming more of a blur.

[Code]

Where are Rooney and J.Cole?

[Marzelius]

oki, but you never see Torres go down without any contact from the defender, like drogba and ronaldo does.

[philyhamann]

You do from time to time, but not as bad as those two.

[Marzelius]

Can you name a match he does that? I honestly cant remember any. (Maybe my glasses are to red in this discussion) :)

[philyhamann]

I'm not gonna scour every match and make a compilation of the times he has gone down easily.

[hamstrung]

Torres does sometimes go down too easily, but he's not in the same class as Drogba & Ronaldo for that sort thing of thing.

 

Never particularly noticed it from Van Persie.

[Thants]

And still people want him to manage us. Classless. He may be telling the truth up to a point but hey, nice loyalty scumbag.

And for once I agree with philly. Torres goes down too easily. He's no Ronaldo or Drogba though.

[Red Mist]

Joe Cole has to be up there, just slightly behind Drogba and Ronaldo.

[RedKnight]

Gotta love José.

[philyhamann]

Torres was a bit of a diver in Spain, I think he said so himself. Maybe that counts as the past few years.

I totally agree. This is disgusting. Almost like coming out the day before a semi-final and claiming to have a montage of the other teams star player diving.

[philyhamann]

People were whining the other week about him defending Drogbar.

[Maldini]

Torres???? FUCKING TORRES? Ask my bollocks! Out of all the cunts in the league who throw themselves week after week he picks Torres? Van Persie isn't that bad either.

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

Adebayor goes down quicker than a 2 dollar whore aswell, and doesn't even get a mention.

[Nick Leeson]

There's some precious fannies around here. Look at the list. He's named one player from each of the top 4. He's just tried to in some mad way remain fair. He could have picked 5 players at least from his own squad if he was being honest but drop the shock and the outrage. Torres is a diver and that dropping to the knees thing whenever someone sneezes in a nearby county does my fucking head in.

 

Why do so many people have to feel singled out and victimised whenever we're criticised?

[Juniper]

Joe Cole has to be up there, just slightly behind Drogba and Ronaldo.

 

...And on the floor holding his leg

[Dougie Do'ins]

The first half in the derby.

 

For a lad his size he can go to ground a bit easily.

[Carra_is_legend]

Torres does go down easily sometimes but no way he is in the same league as Drogba. And where are Joe Cole and Deco in that list? Or Makalele? Or Essien ? Or Ashley Cole?

 

Surprised about Van Persie. He probably does but I've never seen it.

[Eiler]

I'm sure none of his current Inter players dive.

[philyhamann]

Van Persie dive
