That couldn't be more any more spot on. It's one of Mourinho's biggest issues this season - the lack of trust shown in certain players and his management of the squad. They've led to the lack of rotation and players suffering burnt out in 2015. Said this many times before and I'll say it again, Mourinho has one rule for one group of players and another for the other group.

I doubt he really cares about that to be honest. As if playing 2-3 youngsters is going to weaken the team, especially in a dead rubber game against Sporting Lisbon. Let's not also forget that he talked so much about 'Academy Day' in the pre-match presser and in the end, only Loftus-Cheek played...for EIGHT freaking minutes!

Ex-Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou sued £7,100 for hammering a chunk out of the Berlin Wall

Can understand him being cautious in the big games or when we play away from home but against the lesser sides at home, we shouldn't always be playing Azpi at LB. We are practically giving the opposition one less threat to worry about.

There's another Copa America in 2016 and if Brazil win this year's Copa America, they will then have to play in the 2017 Confederations Cup.

City, United, Arsenal all play before us. So, pressure x3 if those 3 win.

He criticised the fans for booing the players, notably Fabregas who got a small backlash for his performance yesterday.

Anything for people to defend the 'golden boy' I guess. Unlikely perhaps. Dunga has picked him (again) for the upcoming international friendlies. Not sure if Mourinho is even doing anything to ensure he gets a proper rest away from football. Like you said, he's been playing football nonstop every year since 2012 (IIRC) and is likely to continue doing that until 2020!

Mourinho's son apparently posted this...

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/16/sunderland-sack-gus-poyet-dick-advocaat?CMP=share_btn_tw Poyet sacked. Confirmed. Sunderland holding talks with Dick Advocaat.

Dick Advocaat has been mentioned as a possible replacement.

Why would he want to come here and sit on the bench half of the time..?

Oscar seems to be scoring more off the pitch than on it, if his pictures on social media are anything to go by...

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho 'untouchable XI' has played five times more than fringe team

I'll listen to offers of £300m for Oscar and Hazard, says Mourinho after PSG up ante in bid to sign Chelsea pair Hindsight and all but that's just right now...

Arsenal-Barcelona syndrome.

He's not going to break Thierry Henry's assist record, is he? 10 more games left!

Unfortunately, we have a manager who is very stubborn and can have a dogmatic attitude towards players.

Hardly a bold prediction.

According to the English media, Gus Poyet is going to be sacked very soon.

:rant:

Hope they kick the crap out of each other and DRAW.

Suspect that 2-game suspension was in his mind. Then again, tracking back and tackling diligently have never been his strongest points.

We didn't press as a unit yes but at no point during the game we sat back. We had players around the pitch and most of them were just jogging around. That's not sitting back. More of standing off the opposition!
