The Mourinho Thread

[dmode 113]

I don't get it. Two simple changes will make this side a whole lot better - Zouma for Cahill and Louis for Iva (switching sides with Azpi). Why the stubbornness from Mou to ever try this out. Does Cahill and Iva have naked pictures of Mou ?

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

yep. madrid having the same problems as well.

lack of rotation is killing our form

the problem today was not fatigue due to lack of rotation. Actually there only were a few instances were some players individually looked tired, but never the whole team despite our small squad.

I agree we have too many average players like Willian and Oscar playing all the time. But who are we gonna replace them with? Fucking Cuadrado?

we got rid of a potential top 5 player for whatever reason

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Fucking Cuadrado?

What do you want from a player who played less than 180 minutes of competetive football in 45 days?

Same happened with Salah here when people were mocking him.

[Fernando 6,743]

I really don't know what he was thinking when he bought the likes of Cuadrado and Willian. This is the era of technical players with an eye for a pass etc and he's still going for these fast physical types that can't do much else.

Yeah I do think that these two are a waste of money. That's like 50 million in them.

[The Chels 2,502]

Plenty of us have been calling for it all season: a back four of Azpi-Zouma-Terry-Luis. I wish Jose would stop being so stubborn and just give it a try because it will likely improve things both ways.

We'll have the opposition penned into their half so much more through playing a higher line and having 3 mobile defenders (with 2 FBs both excellent at pressing), we will have natural width (and the subsequent overlaps and intricate play) as opposed to that from a centre back and a right-footed LB, and we will be able to deal with opposition counter attacks much more effectively without any walking liabilities in defence.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

If Mou is too stubborn to bench Iva i really feel he should just move Iva to RW. He offers more in attack, and at least the same in defence as Willain.

Luis could then move to the left and finally give Hazard the support in attack we have been calling out for since last season

And Azpi could move into his natural positon at RB and stop, what has become an open lane for opponents to drive through.

Hello everyone!

I could not watch the match because I have had to work today...

A sadness, today we had a great opportunity to sentence this Premier League, but even we're going in the top of classification with +6 points. It's a sadness but we are still in a privileged situation.

I just saw a short summary of the match and it's a sadness that we could not score a goal on all occasions that we have had in the last stretch of the match.

A sadness, but I think that players like Zouma, Filipe Luis, RLC or Cuadrado may have more minutes from now.

Nevertheless The Fifth is still very close.

Regards to ALL.

SEEMS you are the one licking his arsehole

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

ive got two leading opinions on mourinho at the moment.

first: he is stubborn, and cannot see the changes that need to be made. He will not drop Brana, he is one of the most influential players for his style. everytime the goalkeeper kicks, its to brana. whenever costa drops deeps, who's in the box? not Oscar, hazard or willian. not matic or cesc. its brana. with all the players that drop central, who offers width? not azpi, and costa does but you want him in the box. its bane who gives an outlet. now, personally, I think that shows how much our team lacks. to many people just want the ball to feet, when the spark isn't there it produces the crap football we've been seeing. I don't think he'll rely on zouma, I think hes trying to edge him in slowly in a time which is the run in to a premier league, but that's crap considering hes played in semi and final. he really needs to drop Oscar, we have yet to see a run of games with willian no 10 and cuadrado a decent run, with cesc and matic.

second: he's not showing his displeasure. He knows we are playing crap and the players aren't doing the minimum. But the team is young, its obviously fragile. hes focusing on the positives to drag them over the finish line. win the title, he's thinking, and then we can mess around with producing a final product, a good team. just talk about the gap we've got, take the pressure of a win the league, regardless of playing well or crap.

I really hope its more second

No, it just SEEMS I'm the one being rational.

There's a reason he's the manager and we're all typing our thoughts on a website.

I'm going to log out because a lot of members on here are clearly spoilt by success.

100% agreed. Success is great but it brings a lot of glory hunters.

[supporter 3,088]

I have not seen the match today, but I think the case that we have not played well today this could be directly related to our defeat in Champions League and maybe today we have played depressed / disheartened by this situation.

It is difficult to motivate for a trophy in which we got along so long in the TOP after a sad loss.

I've only got a brief but see in our players a face that reflects melancholy and fatigue.

But we can not let a tree blind us to the rest of the forest. We are in the TOP of the league with + 6 and a match less is a privileged position that we have we won with great effort.

In the days of draws or defeats the natural tendency is to have bad feelings, but both Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool would give gold to be in our situation. We are up by our great work.

excepting Bayern Munich, we are the best team of the best leagues in the world. That's something.

Trust. BLUES ALL TOGETHER

Regards to ALL.

Criticising Mourinho and wanting him sacked are two different things. I am very critical of him as of late. The recent form and perfomances of the team are in dire need of criticism, it is as if Mourinho is blinded by his own arrogance. If he doesn't adapt and change he is in danger of becoming a completely found out manager like Wenger. The parallels are there and it is startling, of course it is still early days and Mourinho has time on his side. I'm confident the shipped can be turned.

I'm not critical of the success the team has had 1st in the league and a Carling Cup but I am critical of the perfomances leading to this success. I'd like to see domination and not scrappy wins. Did you know the team hasn't scored more than 2 goals in 13 games? Absolutely unacceptable with the attacking talent the team has in abundance. I have faith in Mourinho but does Mourinho have faith in the team? I don't know, but with the lack of rotation and the emergence of a few untouchables, I don't think he really has.

I love this guy but WHY OSCAR? WHY THE FUCK OSCAR? WHY THE FUCKING FUCKS OF ALL FUCKING FUCKS, OSCAR????

We have to criticize him after games like today.

What attacking talent?

Hazard is a genius so fair enough.

Cesc is in a terrible form and only replacemnt if RAMBO.

Willian is limited but should be given a try as a CAM, that's one place jose should be looking at.

Oscar is a pile of shit who would seems unable to complete 2 5 yard passes in a row. His first touch is abysmal and for someone who is supposed to be the main linl up man in the team, he is just AWFUL.

cuadrado- the jury is still out

Remy - one of the most untapped of our attacking resources. Deserves a bloody chance even if its as a RW.

So with our main and probbaly only real creative player hopelessly out of forn I don't expect goals and with our no.10 losinf balls every time he touches it, I don't expect control of the game.

[zolayes 14,489]

look back to the start of January .. check the results BUT also remember the performances
