The Mourinho Thread


 Share

Recommended Posts

I'm neutral, but I agree with this. It is personal opinion and no one can change that. Even if I'm the biggest Lampard fans and think what Lampard done by joining our rival was not a big deal at all, I have to respect that there must be some other who might hate him because of that.

And I think it is really pointless and unnecessary thing to insult each other because what they are think is right and others wrong. Can we just accept that?

Agreed. I just think its so short sighted that you turn your back on a legend because at 36 he's sitting on our title challengers bench... City aren't even rivals really. I had far too many fond memories of Frank to have this minor blip keep him from coming back to the club at some point.

Mourinho: Full of trust

Jose Mourinho says his side are ready for tomorrow’s game at Newcastle United, our third in the space of a week, and the Blues boss has no concerns over the absence of Nemanja Matic.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference at Cobham, the Portuguese, whose side will set a club record of 24 games unbeaten if we avoid defeat, insisted the only objective is to secure three points.

‘I’m not looking for records, I’m looking for victories, points and if possible at the end of the season, titles. We just want to win the next match, that’s all,’ said Mourinho.

‘It’s a difficult stadium to play at, there are a few stadiums in this country that clearly when they see Chelsea shirts they play the game of their lives and when they play other teams they look like they are playing friendlies. Maybe it’s because, in the last decade, Chelsea have become a strong team everybody wants to beat.

‘We are ready for tomorrow and the only record I want is to win the title three times with this club.’

The manager confirmed Gary Cahill is fit and available for selection having been taken off at half-time during Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Tottenham following a collision with Jan Vertonghen, while also stating Diego Costa will lead the line having been suspended in midweek.

There will be a change to personnel in midfield, with either John Mikel Obi or Ramires expected to come in for Matic, who serves a one-match ban.

‘It’s another big player who is not playing but we trust other people,’ said Mourinho. ‘Matic has a free weekend, which he deserves very much, and he will come back stronger. Other people will play, we trust them so no problem.

‘Diego was also important for us but he didn’t play [against Tottenham] and we didn’t think about him.

‘Matic’s last yellow card was because a fellow player lost the ball and he had to make a defensive transition. Sometimes the referees give a yellow card when a player stops a counter attack, sometimes they don’t.

‘Mike Dean decided to give him one, which is acceptable, I just hope that in every game when opponents make fouls on our players when we start developing counter attacks the referees do the same. When you stop a counter attack you should get a yellow card so Mike was correct.’

Didier Drogba produced an impressive display against Tottenham, laying on the first goal for Eden Hazard before scoring the second, and Mourinho believes the Ivorian still has much to offer in a playing capacity.

‘I don’t know his qualities as a coach because I’ve never seen him coach,’ said the Blues boss.

‘He’s still a very good player and if he wants my advice I think he should stop when he wants to, not wait for me or the club to decide.

‘We want him, we love him. After that, I know Mr Abramovich is very happy to keep him at the club in any area he feels useful and happy, but that’s after he makes the decision to stop his career, which I don’t think will be tomorrow.’

So because at the end of his career when he had no use to us at the age of 36, he went to collect a cheque and sit on the City bench now he has an asterisk next to his name? LOL Does Dennis Wise have an asterisk? He played for Milwall who are hated by almost every football supporter in England. Kerry Dixon also played for Milwall, Jimmy Greaves went to star for Tottenham(though I admit he's more of a Spurs legend) John Hollins played for QPR and Arsenal! None of the players I've mentioned even come close to Lampard in terms of club status...

You answered that point yourself. They don't come close, that's why they're not significant enough to care about (with the greatest respects to them).. They never had the admiration Chelsea fans have for Lampard. He knew that as well, prior to leaving he acknowledged that admiration, that's why he said he wouldn't play for another Premier League club again[1]. He knew that his name would be held in legendary breath alongside Cech, Drogba & Terry and still decided to go back on his word.

no true Chelsea supporter will look back at this even 10-15 yrs from now and think he's any less than a legend/hero/classy individual as he was before he signed for NY.

If classy means saying one thing and going back on that, to your own fans, well then..

Mourinho: "There are a few clubs where, clearly, they see the Chelsea shirt and they make it the game of their lives – and when they play other teams they look like like are playing friendlies."

I'm glad he said it because that has been obvious for a while. Look at Sunderland: they were fucking queuing up to throw themselves at the ball against Chelsea but didn't put in anywhere near the same level of effort against City. :lol:

This belongs in the locked Lampard thread so I'm not going to continue on with this much more. I made my point and you guys aren't acknowledging and are starting to mince words. The fans still sing songs about Dennis Wise damn near every match! SO because Lamps is a bigger legend he now doesn't get the same adulation? that is so ridiculous I don't even know how to address that.

I guess in time, perhaps not for you, we will see just how loved Frank is at the club. What he's done for Chelsea can never be tainted by sitting on City's bench at the age of 36.

Had it been Liverpool, Arsenal, Utd or Tottenham the case might be stronger but even then I doubt he'd be vilified for playing elsewhere at 36. If I'm truly in the minority I will GLADLY accept that because what he's done for me and my club far outweighs anything negative he can do at City, and yes that includes scoring a late equalizer.

You really think they had the energy to put in that sort of effort against City 3 days later? Come on... City haven't won there in 5 matches before this one.

Fair enough, at least there's some recognition that there are many people who feel negatively (even those that go to the Bridge.. I remember one hero member making SB to be like an Ultra stadium)

Yeah, they put all their effort into the Chelsea game with no regard for their midweek fixture; I'm pretty sure they won't recover for another week or two. Sunderland don't even put in that kind of effort into the Tyne-Wear derby ffs.

Who the fuck cares about the "tyne-Wear" derby? My point is they put in the same amount of effort against us as they do against City, which is supported be the fact they have taken points in 5 of the last 6 games at the stadium of Light.

The fact that they failed to do so this time has more to do with fatigue than it does with them taking their foot off the gas. They don't play two a week often at all!
