The Mourinho Thread

[LAB 1,030]

Jose has pulled off a trophy win and 3 points away at WH without Matic and Mikel. Looks easier than it actually is. It's not just about the line up selection. Hats off. :tophat:

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

We've also been at the top of the table since August which is pretty incredible.

[Special Juan 27,101]

I doubted the line up yesterday and I should know better really. There is a reason he's the best in the world.

Mourinho: Loftus-Cheek will be a big surprise next season

If we dont fight for the title this season and if we have no ALCO pressure, Loftus-Cheek would be much more on the ground, "said Mourinho added:

"Believe me, this kid next season will be a big surprise in the Premier League.

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Those are just words for now. If we win the league and there's no pressure for a big title, he and ake should play more next season.

I can only look in amazement at how he has kept Tibo and Cech both happy enough and performing to their maximum. Could you imagine AVB, Rafa or Scolari or any other manager pulling this off?

Neither are probably thrilled when they don't play but there hasn't been any murmurings of discontent and both give it their all when selected. I thought the Cech and Cudicini combo was as good as it was ever going to get but I was wrong.

I knew Mou was an excellent man manager but this takes the piss.

But it didn't happen the same with Mata or KDB.

it all depends on the player men.

yap yap yap. The same was said about other younger players.

Do instead of talk.

But that's the thing. there's always pressure to win trophies at big clubs. if we win the league this season, we will also be expected to defend our title the next season and that pressure isn't any less. Man city are already seeking a replacement for Pellegrini despite being the reigning champions. It's a vicious cycle this youngsters are caught in, unfortunately. Ultimately though, it's the manager's mentality, trust and philosophy that determines whether a talented youngster is given playing time or not. regardless of pressure, I believe a manager like Guardiola is more likely to give youngsters opportunities than a mourinho.

2 top class players we have potentially lost in Kevin and Salah due to Mourinho's unexplainable dislike of them. Really hope Zouma becomes that world class player one day so at least he can claims one to his name along with Varane. Haven't seen Mou turn any young potential player into world class yet.

He prefers quick fixes. Willian and Juan are prime examples of that.

we have to take the bad habbits of Mourinho too unfortunately, it comes with the package

sometimes he just freezes out players completely for some reason

LOL you moan a lot, I bet I can find posts from you moaning about Salah when he was here. When we see any of those players playing like that for a real team we can talk.

Robben, Cech

That's the grass is always greener side for you.

Almost every time we dropped point's in the first 6 month's of Mous return all we heard was "well Rafa........"

If a Chelsea player feels under appreciated by supporter's all they have to do is leave, then suddenly they were always rated.

Hazard is damn close. Besides the odd glimpse he was all flair no end product in his first season.

Schurrle and KdB - in my opinion it is arguable the two of them will go on to become very good footballers, but world class? I can't see that.

But either way, this isn't FIFA15. You can't have a squad of brilliant players, it doesn't work. Look at City.

Is there a single thread on this forum where i can read without Salah popping up?

It's getting really annoying.

You haven't seen anything yet.

Let's hope Costa gets back on form soon else the bring back Lukaku brigade will be back.

We've already started with jokes of Mata to come back for Oscar.
