The Mourinho Thread

[The Chels 2,502]

Carry on, don't let anyone stop you from voicing your opinion. It's just amazing that these voices come after a shock defeat and seem to come with a swagger.......

I've noticed and remarked upon our clear defensive woes even when we were winning while lots of people like to pretend they're not there. I would love to be proven wrong and for Mourinho to sort out our issues with pressing and compactness but it hasn't happened yet and doesn't look like happening anytime soon. Still I am surprised we conceded 9 to Tottenham and Bradford. That is some achievement.

Freak results happen, nobody will lambast him with a cain and tan his arse. It's football, we will be back.

any excuses?

[Styles 9,790]

It was the lack of noise wot done it today

[Sheva. 5,373]

I blame him for not using his bench a lot, this results in a lot of rusty players on the pitch at the same time.

I'm not saying they should even start, but sometimes the game is over since HT and Mourinho won't make a change till the 85th minute.

double sack him

and hire that Bradford manager

Tweeted by Bradford

@officialbantams: Jose Mourinho has just been in an ecstatic away dressing room to congratulate every City player and staff member. A real touch of class

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

any excuses?

Montella hold Cuadrado, so that he cannot play today for Chelsea and score a hattrick to win the match. So yes, it's all Montella fault.

Im begining to doubt we will actualy win anything except for league perhaps due to 5 point advantage. It will be difficult to win anything actualy. We have good squad that should be HUNGRY for success and show it on the pitch. Players aint robots. Until Mou starts approaching games bit differently, things change in football and Mou approach looks slightly out. We have problems with small team, with big teams, with away games, with defence and attack. Mou became speculative, has little rotation and no plan B.

Hope he can prove me wrong, but we have been so hot and cold this season its painful.

First time around, we were small favourites in all competitions. Now we begin to look like bottlers. It all started in Club world cup, but then under Mou with Super Cup, whole last season...

In his early years, Mou actualy had good record, he was losing games, but it was tight; players fought hard. Last few years he had some major fuckups; Barca 5:0, Dortmund 4:1, Tottenham, now this...Mou from 10 years ago would not allow that shit, simple as that.

It's not the end of the world, and this could ultimately be a blessing in disguise, but that doesn't make the result any less embarrassing.

Tuesday is even more important now. Let's hope Mourinho can give us at least 25% of what the Bradford manager gave his team today.

From the sounds of it, Mourinho had no excuses to give in the PC. Gave credit to Bradford and called out the players he selected, I suspect Salah will be quaking at the moment.

Totally agree.

But the problem is that people here don't use this logic for everyone else.

Like Pep Bayern getting humiliated by Real Madrid in the CL.

Knowing he will soon be off doubt he cares

The team Mourinho selected was more than good enough to beat Bradford EASILY. You cannot logically criticize him for the team he selected.

I haven't seen the match (like most of you) so we don't know yet whether it was Mou's tactics or the players who fucked up big time.

So until we've seen the match highlights, I suggest everyone holds their opinions back until they have too.

Aren't you the same guy that was trying to pin this result on the youth aka under 22 players with remarks like "That's why he doesn't play the youth". You can't go from your statement in the match and post match thread to "The team Mourinho selected was more than good enough to beat Bradford EASILY". That's changing tunes.

It seems that some members on this forum are Chelsea fans but they prefer to see Jose Mourinho losing matches.

Now Chelsea and Jose Mourinho are the same. All we form the same boat, and we all have to paddle together.

We're on top of the league with five points from Manchester City by Jose Mourinho, because Jose Mourinho is Chelsea, Jose Mourinho and Chelsea is, and we all are Chelsea. all together.

The opportunism is one of the worst things that exist in football. Great teams like Chelsea have many opportunists always near by. But this is a good and a bad new. Now that some are jumping ship for a loss, the boat weighs less and no more space for all of us who rowed even when there is a storm. First work and suffer, then celebrate.

I encourage the Chelsea and Jose Mourinho our leader even when they lose. I do not support Chelsea and Jose Mourinho because they earn trophies. If I wanted that I would follower of Real Madrid. I support Chelsea and Jose Mourinho even if they lose all trophies. This is a passion, not a bookmaker.

Today is a sad day with a terrible defeat,

but today is when there are more important to support our team.

I don`t leave the ship! I keep paddling!

And I know I'm not alone!

We are many supporters who continue paddling in this boat!

Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!

freak results are happening a little too frequently now for my liking

Think is our defensive frailty, something I been saying from the beginning when we was killing teams.

If Zouma is not the answer then go buy a better CB.

But don't worry, we will solve this issue by buying more attacking midfielders.
