Actually good interview, considering its in twitter. - Mourinho said the best place as a manager is in England, which is quite obvious, and make the whole thing about choosing the hard way when the decided to return to England a fraud. Hi @AbelGuadarrama 10yrs ago i would say be yourself and believe in urself.Now, i would say be what people want you to be #AskJose. JM. -This is really interesting, because in his second spell it seems Mourinho is not as natural as he used to be, sometimes I think he is saying what people want him to, like when he was declaring his love for english football every single week in the beginning of the season, even his "failure specialist" seems to be a calculated move. He knows Wenger is a level above at this moment, those comments were unnecessary, but he knows thats exactly what press want him to do. Quotes that can make big news. Hi @Pav_S1994 still coaching a big team, I would love to say Chelsea but I understand modern football.10 years a long time #AskJose. JM. -It seems he more rational about his future than his previous quotes about not thinking about other clubs. In modern football, 10 years is quite a long time, and even if has success next seasons, its really hard to imagine Mourinho as Chelsea's manager in 2024, for many different reasons. But I would like to see Mourinho interviewed by someone with balls to ask some sensitive questions.

Lukaku is a runner.

OK.

Yes, Im liberal and "picked" my team based on video game (WE wasnt available for PC in 2004, fyi), FACTS, but actually I'm quite big. FACTS: you are biased torwards mediocre players if they are your countrymen, the way you worship Mourinho is really depressing, and yes, I will never understand that because I dont have patience to understand a poor devils mind.

Wow, only place place to be already has 6 posts in 40 minutes, writing the same stuff he did in the whole topic. Internet flooding, really exciting activity.

I blocked only places to be posts a long time ago, but it seems he has some kind of obsession for Luiz, esily the most active member in this topic, and always with negative bullshit. Strange since days ago he was complaining about negativism. I bet he write his stuff from an asylum, where he lives as the king of the world.

Two scenarios: 1- If we win a big trophy, Mourinho will be considered a god, some members will be laughing at people who were saying bad words about Mourinho this season. (Mourinho job is safe as always, and he takes all the credits for the glories). 2- If we don't, some people will be questioning Mourinho even more, while some will be saying we improved a lot, and transition is a loooong process, and we will win everything in the subsequent season. (Mourinho is axed and the press start the bullshit about "stability" and the hunting for the right manager starts all over again).

Drogba was far more useful in 2012 than Lampard is in 2014, and many people here were saying the best thing was to move on, and end his Chelsea career to pave the way for a new era. While would be crazy not giving Terry an extension, its time to believe in young english talents.

Luiz + Oscar for Cavani. Great deal for both parts, imo.

I think its quite the opposite: we have people undermining Luiz to make Cahill look better, but Cahill became the new hero for the english, so discussing this subject here is a lost case.

I think "only place to be" and "Tx" have a point when they say "true" supporters are also extreme Jose lovers, because when they are saying "true" supporters, they are obviously saying "english". Most of "true/real" supporters were supporting the team before Roman's money. Mourinho was the first manager to turn Chelsea into league champions after decades, but after City success, for me its clear who the real special one is. Before Mourinho, Chelsea was already a UCL semi-final side, and got a 2nd place in PL. In first season, Mourinho got the PL trophy, and the same UCL semi-final of the previous season. After he left we finally reached an UCL final, produced the best football of Abramovich era under Ancelotti and the 100+ goals double, and won the biggest trophy of all in 2012 (for me its quite ridiculous that Mourinho tries to get some credit for the 12 UCL glory). I'm not trying to dismiss Mourinho as an ordinary manager, but seeing Mourinho as a godlike manager, is far from a rational thinking.

Thats not the reason, imo. With the squad quickly losing its english identity, Cahill is the only english player in the current squad that have a long term future. When Cahill was still a mere squad player, there was a poll about who should be the next captain and 90% of english members said Cahill. This is the reason why, in the beginning of the season "only place to be" was trying really hard to prove Lampard was a useful player in the double pivot, when it was clear he wasn't suited to the role, and even Mourinho realized that: in the second leg of the season Luiz was ahead of Lampard in the picking order to play in the mid. but thats another problem. I already said that many times in this forum: I can't believe England can't produce better players than the mediocrity of Moses, Marin, Salah. I think a club is supposed to help the local football, and players from other countries should be special ones, but suddenly trying to picture Cahill as a top 3 defender in the world is not the best way to solve this problem. I believe if Cahill was from Germany, the english members would be more lenient with Luiz.

We just sold the most exciting english players around (Sturridge) and then bought Marin, Moses, Salah. All of them are mediocre players, I can't believe England can't produce better products than that. but making fun of Arsenal because of that seems a ridiculous idea, specially because you aren't from UK, and they always had some great english players in their squad, right now they have to young players in NT. But keeping Lampard because he is from England only make things worst, because it basically means the club have no faith in the younger english guys.

Its intriguing that the most loud voices against Luiz always come from english members...

You are wrong. Luiz was a starting CB since january 2012. Under AVB, under RDM and under Benitez. Benitez decided to use him as a DM because he believed Luiz was a better option in that position than Mikel, not because he was "far from solid as a CB". When he wasn't playing as a DM, he was playing as a CB. This is the first season Luiz lost his spot as a CB in the starting eleven. Thas a fact. Mourinho was the first manager to see Cahill as a better option than Luiz, thats another fact. I'm not using the crystal ball method. Its obvious Cahill+Terry are not a long term solution. One is already 33 years old, and another one is far from a "solid rock defender" as some of you are trying to picture. I said it many times, Cahill+Terry were the CB when the team conceded 6 goals to Stoke + Sunderland. Cahill + Terry were there when the team conceded 3 goals to PSG in one game, and 3 games to Atletico in another. You need to analise the whole season. Terry also scored an own goal against Palace in a decisive game, you can't even say he was unlucky. Both were great this season? Yes if you consider we are a 3rd place PL side, and got trashed at home in the semi-finals, and don't tell me they have nothing to do with the bad results this season, they are part of the problem. We need to improve in every aspect next season, we need a better defense. I think if we sell Luiz and don't buy another CB next season, we will be in trouble, and the club will probably spend some millions in winter window to fix the problem. And I use the rumors argument here as well: the rumors about BARCELONA and PSG interest aren't for no reason. He is not leaving for a small side in Premier League or to play in Turkey or Greece, he is leaving for a huge amount of money, considering he is a CB. He is not leaving for half of the money we paid 2 and half years ago. It seems you really know one thing or two about disjointed posts, don't you?

You failed to understand my post. Thats why you though it was disjointed. Cahill has been excellent this season, so this is the reason why Luiz is not playing as a CB, because at this moment there is someone better than him, but somehow people are saying he is useless because Cahill is better at this moment. Luiz still is a good defender, and he is sitting on the bench in most games because Cahill is better at this moment, but people still make a big deal of it. For me its a good thing to have a player like Luiz sitting on the bench. One team is not made for one single season. I still have misgivings about Cahill form in big games: he was far from good in the 1st leg against PSG, and poor in 2nd league against Atlético, and I still have misgivings about his performance in a more audacious tactics (he was the CB when the team conceded 6 goals for Stoke+Sunderland in two games). Terry already is 33, at his age you never how he will be playing next season (thats why the club adopted the one year deal thing with players in their 30s) , just take Lampard as an example. He was really decent last season, this season he was useless, and he will be here next season because of his "legend" status. Terry+Cahill was a excellent partnership this season, no one can deny that, but thats not a long term solution. Luiz still can be useful in that process, he is the younger of our CBs at the end of the day. So, thats was an irony, for you.

I really want you to explain why the post was disjointed. Not the kind of reply I expect from a moderator.

You just need to read this topic to understand why Cahill is not a great CB. He is the first choice because Luiz makes a lot of mistakes, not because he is great. For me its really weird, while people keep praising Cahill because he won the starting XI role, they keep saying Luiz is useless and brainless defender. So, whats the big deal about Cahill being the first choice at this moment, if the other option is a CB that can't even defend? Cahill still is the same defender he was 2 years ago, and Terry is far from being as good as 10 years ago, but both players are more suited to Mourinho's tactics, its obvious. Lets make things clear here: Luiz is twice the player that Cahill is. There is a reason why the rumors are suggesting Barcelona is willing to pay 30m for a brainless and stupid player, while solid rock Cahill market value is probably under 20m, and while teams like PSG are interested in Luiz, probably only some Chelsea's fans and englishmen believe Cahill is a Top 3 Cb in the world. This season, even Juan Mata looked like a shit player in the moments he was on the pitch.

Indeed. Torres came from Atléticos academy, and Aguero was one of the most exciting young players in South America when he was signed. Nothing special about that, the problem is we made an unlucky move in Shevchenko, and a stupid one in Torres. Today Its easy to say he is the worst signing of all time, but even in 2011 few people believed he was worth that amount of money. I have to admit I was really surprised when I read here people saying he was worth even more. Since Torres, the board is taking easy when the subject is buying expensive strikers. This is the reason why we didn't bought Falcao from Porto 3 years ago, and went to Atletico, instead.

Whats special about that?

It would be interesting to read "liosden" and "only place to be" negativism in his topic next season, but now he plays for Spain, so we might see a different approach, after all.

I wonder why we dont have Falcao or Huk in our squad at this point.

I think some people here are starting to take themselves too serious.

Its funny he liked your post. He isnt a normal adult at all.
