The Mourinho Thread

Chelsea challenged to improve on 2005 vintage

I don't like all this talk about being potential 'invincibles', remember when the media used to go on about a potential Quadruple around 2005-09.. on the basis that we were still in every competition.

Hopefully Mourinho keeps our players focused on the task at hand instead of going into the match thinking it is won before even playing.

I doubt Mourinho thinks like that.

Allardyce said: “Jose has just texted me to say ‘Well done big man’. This shows how important it was for him, never mind for us.

Pellegrino will be angry to hear that

Same.We got like that a bit last year and came out badly so this time round different attitude completely.Showed it against Arsenal..Villa etc no reason why they should think differently this time.Bloody better not anyway

I know Mourinho doesn't think that way. Just the expectation from fans on our team could make our players become complacent. Mourinho needs to make sure that doesn't happen

You can't bemoan not killing off teams when you sit back and defend with a full 20 MINUTES to go. Been disappointed with his tactics in the two trips to Manchester.

Coward tactics again.

How are you going to attack teams when only Hazard is really playing well? Rest of the attack was poor and Drogba cant run. Its a shame we lost but lets not start ridiculing Jose when we have done really well so far this season.

We lost?

You fail at life.

He just should take more risk sometimes. If we somehow defended the setpiece, we'd be praising him. Shit anyway. Mourinho will have to improve on it. Then again, every manager has his faults.

I'm not ridiculing him, mate. Just making an observation. Jose is still my guy but we shouldn't have retreated into a shell in the last 20 mins against that United side. I also agree that perhaps 1 or 2 players put up unacceptable performances today which is beyond the manager's hands.

...

2 points.

[iseah100 5,612]

2 points.

Not the end of the world. Tough, but Man U are improving. 2 points from Manchester won't lose us the title. We are still 6 points ahead of City and they have to come to our house next time.
