The king of chatting shit waffling as usual. Nothing to see here.

Mourinho also asked for a 16m 29 year old LB and then played a RB ahead of him all season. Mourinho also asked for Falcao and got him. He asked for Begovic and got him.

Yeah, because we expect more from Mourinho. If the team isn't functioning well for almost an entire year then blaming players is futile. The manager needs to be questioned.

Stability is bullshit. All the top clubs change managers in 3-4 year cycles. And if you wanted stability why give it to Mourinho of all people? I don't want to watch his shit football for the next 10+ years.

Disagree. AVB, Benitez, Grant etc all got stick. Only one who didn't was Hiddink and rightly so. Pound for pound the best manager we've had in the Roman era.

If stability means playing shit football then I don't want it.

What! You saying nobody ever criticised the previous managers?

On the BBC interview he said "you don't have to play well to win games". It's really no surprise the team plays such shit football 90% of the time. I can count the amount of good team performances this calendar year on one hand.

He won't go back to Italy. I remember he said he hated his time there; he loved Inter but hated the culture of football.

I used to believe this is most people wanted for the club. But the cult of Mourinho is too strong. Look at the Eva thread. You have people in there insulting her for doing her job and thanking people on social media, calling her 'just a doctor' etc trying to justify Mourinho's behaviour and why we shouldn't care. Honestly, I'm just sick and tired of the football. I HATE the way we play. It is genuinely shit.

OK, here's a question. If we play bad as team regularly will a player like Oscar ever play well consistently? Guys like Oscar are supposedly good players in well-drilled teams that have good players around them performing well. We play shit football 90% of the time. How useful is Oscar in this set up?

PSG or international football. No wonder he's talking all this shit about staying at Chelsea forever.

True, everybody was bad today. When everybody else is on fire Oscar can be the balance guy, but when when everybody is off he will struggle.

Mourinho works backwards. He relies on individual performances and/or moments of brilliance. Oh, and set pieces too. I've never seen a top manager show such abandon to his team's overall style of play. It's embarrassing.

Full of shit as usual.

Balance was missing today. Hopefully he brings the balance next game.

Some people truly believe he's the only chance we have of winning. They are willing to put up with all the shit football and the problems he creates for that reason.

Two of the fourms favourite whipping boys drawing us level

Pedro you fucking mug. Square pass for Falcao. We really have some of the dumbest, greediest players around. Every top play squares that for a teammate to tap home.

HEY BUT WE WERE PLAYING BETTER, GUYS!!

Yeah, when the opposition have dropped deep and he has time and space. Newcastle are protecting their lead and countering with 2-3 players.

Newcastle deciding to sit and play on the counter = more control We're not good enough to take control when things are 0-0 even against the worst team in the league.

We won't see him again until January. Ivanovic will have played another 20 games in the meantime.

Against 2 of the worst teams we'll play all season and a win against 9 men.

I just hope it happens before next season.
