Mourinho failed to win anything his last year in Real Madrid and took over Chelsea who won the Europa League title then failed to win anything in four competitions. Chelsea are currently one of 3 unbeaten teams in Europe but will Mourinho and Chelsea somehow blow it all in the end?

He won the supercup in his last season at Madrid.

To be honest, I don't think that really counts as winning a trophy. Supercup matches are pretty much glorified friendlies and they are played before the season even starts.

Matches against Barca are never friendlies for Madrid.

But you're right, it isn't a big trophy but still better than "nothing".

I think we've lost that massive attack style we used at the beginning of the season. We just outscored the opponent 3-1 or 4-2 like Madrid did during Mourinho's spell there.

We complained that courtois couldn't keep a clean sheet like cech but we actually sacrificed the defense for all out attacking like against Everton, Burnley and Swansea. Infact I remember all of the opponents having so much chances but we had more quality up front.

But now we're playing a more controlled game where we are more solid in defense and creating enough chances for only 2 goals per match but that means that if the new additions of Fabregas and Costa's quality doesn't deliver, we look like last season.

I think we should go all out again like the beginning of the season because I don't think the smaller teams have what it takes to score 3 goals against us, so us scoring 3 or more guarantees us the win.

It could be because of fatigue that slowed down the intensity of our attacking too but I've noticed a drop in chances created since the manutd game.

True, but it does suck we lost 2/2 of them :lol:

I do want Chelsea to win the Club World Cup though, because the badge that comes with that can be worn all season. Which is a good slap in the face of our rivals :D

That's like the only trophy we have not won. Oh god, thinking back about it, still pissed that we fucked it up two seasons ago! :doh::angry::rant:

As Torres misses go, that has to be #1.

Benitez messed that up though. He played the prior match with Luiz in midfield and Tite, Corinthians' coach said he was very worried about Luiz's physicality in midfield - Corinthians was a very physical team. Sure enough Benitez decided to make things easier for Tite and Corinthians by moving Luiz back to defense, weakening the midfield.

That was the UEFA Super Cup. Was talking about the Club World Cup.

Yes got it, I see that now.

My misunderstanding came from the fact that the first line of the post by LDN Blue that you replied to, talked about us having lost 2/2 of them. That clearly was a reference to the Super Cup and my first reading of your reply was that it was this trophy you were referring to. As I say, I see that I got that wrong.
