Sheva.

And if we don't perform, it is the managers fault. So simple, no matter who he is. After all, he is the one who put the non performers out there.

City, Bayern not games for Mata. Not an average team like Basel.

Still our best player despite his up and down performances, the sooner he develops some consistency, the better for this team.

Yeah i know, but for the most part Mourinho deserves some of the criticism i have seen leveled at him. fair enough. But Rafa if anything was working under harsher conditions than Mou, no one wanted him, his team were getting booed at home, and he didn't have the kind of depth we currently do. Not to mention people on here created "Rafa out" thread before his first game i think. At least it hasn't come to that for Mourinho

But that's no fun. Did you or did you not criticize Rafa for bad games and results last season? it's normal, even though Mourinho is a legend, he isn't too big to be criticized when his team don't perform.

What do you want? people praising the manager when we play bad football and can't beat a team like Basel? If we play well, he deserves credit. If we don't and he makes the wrong decisions, he gets the stick he deserves. It's the life of any manager, don't know why some are always crying about it.

He gets paid to be proactive and think of this before, not after games. Smh.

Mourinho might as well not have made that 3rd sub. If that was Rafa, everyone in the world would be talking about how clueless he was. We have 0 attempts, can't create anything, our best playmaker is on the bench, and there's also Schurrle and KDB. But he wasted 20 minutes to settle for the point and eventually we got what we deserved. Ridiculous negativity against an average team. And there's no point even talking about that formation, what's even worse is 2 of those players will start their 3rd straight game against Southampton.

Ramires, 0/10 rating this entire game.

SIghhhhhhhhhh

Why won't Mourinho use the last sub? the fuck.

Lol Ramires, why?!

Thought i was the only one, it's ridiculous.

Torres and Hazard on, we might create something now.

Give Torres the ball and let him do some magic.

I wish Mata was playing, so people could conveniently pin the blame on him. What a shame.

I'm not happy about it, but i did say this formation has a problem against better teams due to having no one on the right. We can win this game with 4-2-3-1, take off one of the CM's - Lampard - for Hazard or Schurrle.

With the way this is going, Mata ain't playing today. Schurrle, Torres and Hazard will all come on in the 2nd half.

Lampard is old, old players should be used sparingly, and definitely not 3 times a week like Mourinho does.

Lmao.

Jose should do an Allardyce and throw on Hazard before it gets too late.

Worst 23 minutes of football, ever.

We can't leave our half, ffs.

Wow Willian, pleasantly surprised with that.
