Fernando 6,663 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hmmmm this is why I don't get much excited about beating to a pulp teams like Swansea and schalke. Once we are able to do it to the likes of Liverpool then I will say that this team is scary. EMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Makes Liverpool look like Real Madrid while Simeone makes Real look like Liverpool. Please watch Atletico to see how to press while maintaining compactness and defensive stability. (This is not knee-jerk - I've been moaning at our defensive system for a long time.)

Jase 43,479 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There's seriously something wrong when it comes to playing Liverpool in the cup and the league under Mourinho. Almost a huge difference in the performance. Heisenberg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted January 20, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted January 20, 2015 Let me just type my piece. I know some posters will accuse me of being anti-Mourinho but then again, I could care less. The way we're playing against Liverpool is all Mourinho. It's not Iva or Cahill. The unforced errors and misplaced passes is as a result of the negative tactics. Same thing at City. Even Cesc was misplacing them too. Even if we lost this game, say 2-1 and at least came out to play FOOTBALL, I won't be typing this now. First and foremost, what some seem NOT to realize is that Mourinho is the one responsible for setting this team up offensively and defensively. In the latter, he's great, phenomenal even. His ability to organize a defense was almost revolutionary in English football in his first spell here. Let's remember in his first season here, we only conceded 15 goals in the league. First and foremost above anything else, he's a defensive minded manager. There's nothing wrong with that, but it seems a contradiction to the current group of players at his disposal. In the former however, he's a one trick pony. That's what many people don't get and that's why I feel this group of players don't match his management style at all. Mourinho just doesn't know how to set up his sides to play decent, possession based football. We just press and hope for the best. When the press doesn't work, we retreat to our shell and play "counter-attacking" football. Except it isn't actually that, it's the football of cowards. And when defend and hope for the best doesn't work, we invariably lose or if we're lucky, draw. The only time we come out to play and express ourselves on the pitch is against mediocre sides and even that is once in a blue moon. That's the pattern I've seen in his second spell here, especially in the so-called "bigger" games and it worries me greatly. I hoped and prayed that Mourinho would have become more sophisticated with his tactical approach 2nd time around but it's the same shit over again. It's the worst football of any Chelsea manager I've ever seen in my life with the players at his disposal, both on the pitch and on the bench. We might win the league, but we won't win the Champions league. Once we face a Barca or a Real especially, we'll get killed. We don't have the same defensive minded team that we had a few years ago and I can't imagine Cahill and a 34 year old Terry being able to defend for 180 mins vs the best attacking players in the world.

Hazard and Cesc defending for their lives for 90 against Bale and Kroos. Ronaldo bumming us and scoring a hattrick. What's most frustrating is that we're a much better side than this. Mourinho is just so much of a coward and to scared to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucio 5,418 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 im embarrassed watching those tactics. it wasnt defend deep and counter. it was play like dogshit and sneak a penalty. made a midtable rabble look like juventus. this team is 7th, we should be able to go out there and teach them a lesson. basel managed to outplay them at anfield, in a much more important game than that. there was really no sense behind that performance, lucky not to be well beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not coincidental that Mourinho regularly loses SFs - matches where he uses his flawed defensive methods. He either sets his team up to defend deep with no attacking output (Liverpool away last year) or to defend by pressing high and leaving huge gaps in the midfield (Liverpool in the PL this season) or both (today's game).

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If only we had Mourinho from 04/05 back..He had worse mentality back then, at least now it is trying to nick a goal at least. Back then, it was 0-0 as main aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
