He's already played in the Premier League with us two seasons ago and has proved he can cope with it. But whatever reason, Mourinho doesn't play him. On Sturridge, we did send him out on loan but he wasn't our youth academy product, was he? And you only mentioned the players who came from the United academy in your previous post but suddenly brought up one that didn't come from our academy?

Never mind coaching attacking football, I want to know why are we doing things that are very un-Mourinho. - Our defence has gone to pieces in 2015 and yet nothing has changed. We've been making the same mistakes over and over and over again. - For a side filled with tall and big physical players, we aren't scoring enough from set pieces. In fact, we can't even take a proper corner/free kick without hitting the first man! We need to study Atletico Madrid. - Can't barely score from counter attacks despite having some quick players. Can't even remember the last time we scored from a counter! Those aspects are usually the 3 strongest points (strong defence, a threat from set pieces, deadly on the counter) of any Mourinho team and yet, we don't even resemble any of them right now.

Doesn't matter, does it? We have a few players out on loan and we want some of them to make the first team too, don't we?

After today, we'll only have 1 game in hand. It's nonsense people keep on using that game in hand as an excuse. That one is not a given, especially with the way we're playing now and we play that game at the end of April, after facing United and Arsenal. God knows whether we'll still be in first place come then!

WOW! WOW WOW WOW!! JUST WOW!!! I CAN FUCKING SEE IT NOW - CHELSEA, THE PREMIER LEAGUE BOTTLERS OF 2014/15!!!

Yes but remember, we still gotta play United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

There's going to be a meltdown if we don't win today. City, Arsenal and United are 3, 4 and 5 points respectively behind us at the moment. Eeeek!

Hardly an excuse not to play Luis against Southampton. Doesn't mean you only have to play him when the opposing team is being defensive.

Didn't play Luis at home to stretch narrow and deep defensive teams but suddenly starts him in an away game.

FUCKING HELL! HE'S GONE TO SCORE AN OVERHEAD KICK NOW!!!

Showed a burst of pace and scored with his right foot!

Mourinho on integrating young players into the first team... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/21/jose-mourinho-chelsea-youth-fa-cup-final-hull Can agree and understand where he's coming from. However, on the other hand, can't help but to feel he's talking BS at the same time. His idea that you can't really integrate youth players into the first team when you're challenging at the very top every year seems nonsensical. United (under Ferguson), Barcelona and Bayern Munich have always challenged for the big honours every year and yet, that hasn't stop them from bringing young players through. Also, curious to know his definition of 'ready'. Does he mean like ready ready OR ready only when he feels there's no risk in the game/the game has been won for the player to come on for the last 5/10 minutes? Maybe I'm just being highly skeptical of his poor/average record in promoting academy player but it feels almost as if he explained all of that just to make himself look less bad on that front.

Shaka Hislop and Stuart Holden talked so much BS in that video. No wonder no one takes their pundits seriously (except for Marcotti, Honigstein and Lowe).

Saw the highlights and my word, the way he got nutmegged and then committed the foul was embarrassing. So amateurish and predictable.

:lol: And by the way, Costa has 4 goals as well...

What do you expect? Cats are more loyal than humans.

A matter of intepretation. So, it's your fault, dude.

Well, I gave you the answer before you dragged it further than it needed to, smartass.

Yes. Last man tackle.

WHY OH WHY DID WE DROP POINTS LAST WEEKEND FFS?!!! :rant: :rant:

But Mourinho take it to the extreme more than others, no? And smartass? Thank you...

Freaking annoying that we are playing tomorrow and not today. Just FUCKING ANNOYING!! :rant: :rant:

Well, Simeone is no Mourinho, is he?
