Fucking lovely Who cares about anything let's just get 3 or 4 Build some confidence

Get the fuck in That's more like the Chelsea I know and love

Simple answer: No! Long answer: Fucking absolutely fucking not!

Rookie mistake

Let's just win tomorrow - who knows what could happen,we could find some amazing form out of the blue Mourinho might have a visit from the Ghost of Xmas past - he might turn from Defence King to Attacking King Who knows! Just need to beat a decent team, follow up with a few wins in the league, get to the summer and re-evaluate. I don't see much changing until the summer, would have happened already I think. So if that is the case - let's just try to win as much as possible between now and then!

Great post - think we have all considered what our footballing philosophy is/was/could be... The belief was inverse to reality. It was stability then identity, when it should have been identity then stability. We got it the wrong way round

To me these last few pages should see the end of the word 'plastic' ever again (apart from that one) on the forum. Yes, @Didierforever has been critical of Jose, as have I, Stats, Lionsden and many others, sorry ipad is a mate to type on, sticking to the preselected words is quickest. But even now, people that want him gone are still pleading for Jose to change something and deliver something 'special' It is a true demonstration of 'heart' vs 'mind' I can't speak for everybody, but this to me is the crux of the dilema, in our hearts this was supposed to be our fairytale, sadly the reality is different, very different. And that's why I am (possibly we) are so critical of Jose. Not one person on here enjoys watching us lose. I guess our destiny, pro Mou, against Mou will be decided in 48 hours - but one things for sure, you cannot question our members on the commitment and passion towards the club. I'm proud that the forum has allowed both views to coexist, despite some regrettable casualties and the odd overheated moment. So I guess as the French say, C'est la vie - but Chelsea will go on....

Fair play to him and Martinez Both gambled big and despite a few rocky patches - they have got a decent player. If he carries on like this - expect him to end up at City with Bony the other way...

Indeed and that's not a negative mate Just wish you'd been right and me wrong - this whole situation sucks

Thing is - none of this is new. People on here were saying this last season, I only started this season - but it had been predicted, by 'non footballing experts' No matter who is in charge - I just cannot bring myself to support a defeat. It's truly shocking that it might be the best thing for us - UEFA need to sort this out. I think we should go for the win and see what happens, if we end up losing and going out, so be it. One year without CL football might be the wake up call our board need.

If only we had a chance of that happening - but seriously can you see us stringing a run together like that?

Jesus - Robbie Savage said the same thing! You think any other manager wants to say sack that manager? It just doesn't happen

Monkey see monkey do, normally you look to the manager for inspiration. However, he's a bigger child than most, so yeah - he is culpable... His actions have led to the players not performing. Therefore he has failed and must be got rid off ASAP

Poles apart you can't draw any parallels to then and now. He inherited a team of drinkers and layabouts, is that the problem we currently have?

Nailed it Mourinho can no longer be defended. Sick of seeing people stick up for him and blame player power. Only an egotistical maniac like Mourinho could lose the dressing room so quickly, I'm sick of him and I only have to listen to his post match interviews, imagine having to see the miserable prick every day. There's no doubt he wins things - it's now at what cost does this success come at... For me, the price is too high. I will always thank him for what he has won, but in hindsight we should never have gone back - it's like getting back together with an ex - it rarely works and this situation is no exception

The problem is deeper than just chucking different players in. We could chuck Messi, Neymar and Suarez In and I think we would still struggle. There's no cohesive intuitive attacking play It's no accident when players play a pass into space without even looking, because 'they know' their team mate will be there as they have practised and planned this in training. We just look lost offensively. That's what's missing from our team IMHO - there's been a complete lack of focus on attacking play, and we are now reaping the lack of rewards

To be fair Liverpool looked a little over confident and Newcastle were maniacs in pressing. That was a last ditch effort for them - is it sustainable? Unlikely, but might give them a little bit of confidence I had this down as 6-0 Pool - shows what I know

Good lad Support the team and the players

Man... That moment when you called it and hoped you'd never be proven correct. Yes, I have slated Mourinho and logically (to me) along with others (you know who you are ) analysed and pinpointed all of the weaknesses. But seeing it unfold is just more horrible and painful than I care to experience I think he has to go before Xmas, give another manager a Jan window (maybe to call back some players out on loan) We could conceivably fail to finish in the top half of the league. Just abysmal.

That's why I think we missed a trick not signing this guy. Don't get me wrong I admire the Board for showing loyalty, even if I do feel it was misplaced. Klopp look fresh and dynamic with his teams, Mou looks like a dinosaur in comparison and the antithesis of a Klopp team. With the talent we have in our squad it would be amazing to see what somebody like that could turn us into... Instead, we have some enthralling 1-0's to look forward to

Welcome to the future....

Don't you think he's a dead ringer for the bad guy in Karate Kid? The dude that manages the other team Daniel Son and Miagi beat? I can't post the pic as in a meeting

I think we're being too harsh on the lad. F**K me that video did make me laugh though - I simply think he's trying too hard! I think a few of our players are in this boat and not playing a natural game and trying the impossible and it's failing... which is pretty obvious when you think about it - trying the impossible and it failing I do think he gives it everything he's got and there's no denying the system doesn't seem to work for him as it did for Arsenal or Spain. He does have a killer pass in him - but he's had a Donkey (Costa) up front all season and now a False No.9 - none of our attacking play looks exactly 'honed' - so everything is unpredictable and relying on luck (back to that impossible, possible stuff again!) I honestly think if we had a decent team shape when attacking and players that also knew not only their defensive duties, but attacking ones too - we could really get the best out of him. I think he's had some unfair stick about being the mole - which obviously wasn't true

Dam, my thin veneer has been shattered! I honestly, 100% DID believe he was the right man for the job, but since Jan - it's just been very weird I remember the elation of August, September and October of 2014, November and December were ok too, Jan was a bit shit and from then on it's just slid down the pole (quicker than a 40yr old greased up stripper!) He has until the summer to rescue the situation I guess. Yes I wish we'd beaten the Spuds (as half my family are season ticket holders) and my old man (Millwall) is giving me plenty of stick as well (despite them being two divisions lower). I dunno - just keep hoping for a miracle, maybe it will happen this Xmas - if not Hollywood is not to be believed ever again LOL

Shhh... we're in the minority here - can't you see the results of the poll :) :) We have to remember that we are fortunate for such a manager and without him we'd likely be facing a relegation battle
