I don't understand what's wrong with him saying that. Lot of people implode over the simplest reasons.

This I think is by far the best comment on this situation you can find. There are a few retards who are going on about how he should be sacked if he doesn't win the League or that the players are shit and the club is shit, but this is the most level-headed response you will find. kudos kellz. on this topic I've been pretty much neutral, because I'm confident enough Mourinho will turn things around, but there is a little to be worried about. Not like those kids who are throwing their toys out the pram and crying.

fine then. I apologize. Mourinho's shit and so are his tactics, lets just insult him more. That will help us.

We had a penalty denied and the last minute shots not going in. We didn't play 'shit', it just wasn't our day. We are making mistakes, and instead of insulting them, support them as they come up with a response. No one's doing it on purpose.

He did say how the team played, he also highlighted the mistakes of the referee. We weren't 'shit'.

It has also worked out successfully before.

That is what I meant. In the game 50% chance, you wouldn't be saying it if the game went through like it should have. You're negating the factor of luck.

It's all nice to sit after the 120 minutes and say it was coming , it was coming. Say that during the 120 minutes, and the chance of it happening is 50%. That was the system we wanted to go with from the word go. and we stuck with it. We are not a reactive team, we have been proactive, and we will until we perfect it. This is what was missing from the night. Add that to any system and we would have that game. But it cannot happen every single time. These are not machines, these are human beings. We move the fuck on and learn from it. Retrospect and hindsight. He has the ability especially with his pace when the opposition is a person down. Before you make substitutions, you weigh the pros and cons, no one does it blindly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Also a lot of people are focusing so much on this 10 man bs. Personal experience, when the opposition is down by a man, the first thing a manager does is not react for the first 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes you identify the player, then you open up your notes and check what his role is in the opposition's system. IF he's a midfielder, you have an opening, if it is a defender, you have an opening. Think about it again, it was a forward that got sent off. No openings in midfield, no openings in the defense, no openings on the flanks. The only thing it does is lower the chances of the opposition scoring because their main goal threat has gone down the tunnel. Mourinho reacted to that by pushing the low block higher up the pitch. It worked perfectly, we could handle anything they threw at us, but we fell to poor defensive marking on set-pieces. Managers aren't retarded, a lot of them need to be given credit because every decision is made after proper thinking. Each and every decision is made better the more you are experience, and better your intuition. tl;dr, I don't blame the system, I blame the lack of energy in our play, and the fact that our strongest feature gave it away for us. 10 men oppositions aren't affected when the player sent off is a forward, especially if the forward in question isn't someone who drops deep.

There are no excuses. It was a bad day. Shit happens in football. At the end of the day Chelsea lost to two set-pieces. No open play goals, no well thought out passes that cut us open for them to score, nothing. Shit happens in football, that's what makes it beautiful. You can't script anything. When it has paid off, no one's called it ridiculous , have they? It boiled down to luck, Chelsea didn't have any. Add that to how weak the players looked on the field, we were set up for catastrophe. There was nothing wrong in the way we played, because if we executed it properly, PSG wouldn't be going on.

If you make a statement like that, you shouldn't be against being labelled as a perfect match for Arsenal. That sentence literally is a quote for an Arsenal forum.

People will, but players are mostly identified with their weaknesses, and to Jose's ideology its far too big to ignore.

Not a player that will fit into the team Mourinho wants. The Shrewsbury game will be all he'll be remembered for. Juan has a different skill-set, hopefully we can get the best out of that.

lol he's trolling. don't feed.

What sucks more is we lost to two set-pieces. I have nothing against the way we played, though there was more then one way to approach it, but we fucked up in the way we did. JT and his markers need to take a good look in the mirror. Anyways chin up. There's still another trophy out there.

Yes it would. Not just cheap, outright laughable if you think losing a game makes one manager better than the other. Also the fact that you have to rely on that to back up your argument. At the end of the day we lost to set-pieces, and now we know where the problem is. First this, then RVP header against us at Old Trafford.

How does winning the 3 CL time mean that he can handle crises? It's his biggest weakness. He can't handle certain situations and that is the truth. Guardiola has won the CL 2 times, he has his weaknesses too. His teams suffer against teams that employ the low block. Because you were considering the ability of managers based on the numbers of CL titles they have won. Simeone has 0, RDM has 1. Who is better? Carlo isn't on the same level as Mourinho. Throw them both into the pot, people would pick Jose. He is treated like god, for fucks's sake this is a Chelsea forum. What did you expect? He is god to many here because he defines us as what we are as a club. They are both top managers. But having weaknesses and accepting them doesn't make them any different. Both manager's have their shortcomings , Carlo has larger one's than Jose does.

What logic is that? RDM has a UCL title too. The divine genius led Chelsea to 6 trophies in 3 years. Get some respect...

Swap? Bruv, Sturridge was the previous Kane. Wonder how a Costa-Sturridge swap would turn out.

A friend of mine looked over that. Lukas Raeder was stolen away from Schalke? Pierre Hojbjerg came from Brondby Mitchell Weiser came from Koln Out of the two I haven't mentioned, I'm surprised Gaudino hasn't got a lot of chances. Seen him personally play here, lot of potential. also the fairly experienced youngster's idea seems rather flawed. Salah and Zouma were fairly experienced youngsters in the Swiss and French League, that doesn't translate efficiently to the Premier League does it?

*hides*

Preach.

Would have seen Mikel starting here. Shame he's out. Looks like Ramires in the middle and not used on the wings then.

You slower than Mertasacker mate. :dude:

Sold.

I'd highly disagree on that. At the end of the day he's human. Disciplined or not, he is not a robot. Everything goes out of the window. I'm appalled at the fact that Barnes did that and didn't even show the slightest remorse. He walked away like he'd collected his daily wages. His leg bent for fucks sake. Over the span of a week, we almost lost two players if they lifted their legs off the ground a second later. To top that Atkinson didn't even give a shit. I hate how people go on about the fact that it's his job. So what? You can't buy emotion. If anything, everyone is disappointed in the fact that he got red carded, but the fact that anyone can blame him for it and go too hard on him is unbelievable.
