The Mourinho Thread

"Chelsea defenders have more goals (19) and assists (18) than Di Maria, Ozil & Coutinho combined"

Boring Boring Chelsea

Invincibles not even up there. Not to discredit them in anyway, but I'd take that 1 L for more W's. It's a shame they didn't go unbeaten in 04/05. Can you imagine going unbeaten and not winning the league...

Would be nice to reach 90+ again. It's definitely possible.

3 wins and a draw would be the very least we should aim for, which in turn would get us to 90. I think as soon as we win against Palace, we will be a lot more free flowing and relaxed. We really should aim for 4 wins though.

Everyone should read this, it's hilarious. (The Article was posted a few weeks ago)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11533641/Arsenal-can-win-the-Premier-League-here-are-seven-reasons-why.html

So in the space of five weeks the 'Journalist' expected us to lose to United, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Brom, and to draw against Palace and Sunderland. He only had us winning 1 game and that was against Leicester. I have to give it to the Journalist, it's a funny read.

The Journo must be a fan of the Specialist in Failure. In fact this piece was an excellent example in failure

people really underestimate the influence he has on this team... not only he put this team together, but he's one of the biggest reasons we're going to win the league.

Listening to media saying how adaptive we are, i had a thought.....

well more of a dream team to be honest, it would be the greatest team of chelsea's history, really more fun to think about than expect to happen!

But, could you imagine Jose building a team which could play in a similar way to all of his great teams?

the machine like efficiency an direct ruthlessness of his chelsea 2004-06

the unbeatable defence of Inter with a midfield of counter attacking prowess.

the glitz and aesthetic of his madrid title winning team.

Thing is, im not so sure you have to really sacrifice one for the other (within reason)?

i think your defence needs to be able to play both deep and high pressing?

your midfield needs to be athletic and powerful (chelsea midfield) have the defensive screening of cambiasso (matic?) and have someone to control possession and be good at starting counterattacks (dont think thats cesc, but i do think Koke)

Hazard gives the spark, the magic in attack. Costa can be dynamite and ignite a game that much more through confrontation, but we need another attacking theat. i think we need a winger/striker. someone who can play the role malouda/anelka did for us, etoo did for inter and ronaldo for madrid. ?

such a team would win the league three times in a row

very unlikely to happen though, i think we'd still have to redo at least half the team?

what would be your dream mourinho team?

I think that's mou aim.

To make this team an adaptive team.

"You ask me about this season I think that Chelsea was the best team, that he deserves to win the title because he has been the most consistent team with very good players," said the City boss.

"I congratulate his owner because he is always improving his squad and I congratulate his fans and Jose Mourinho and the players because they deserve absolutely the title."

Fair play from Pellegrini.

Fair play from Pellegrini.

major dig at the owners of City. smart man.

[The Mak 4,459]

‘It isn't normal to win a title every season,unless you choose the countries and clubs where even the kit-man as manager wins it. Here, I choose a difficult one.’

Officially my favourite José quote ever! Any more of a blatant dig at Pep he would've showed a picture of his face and laughed!

How I love that man, he says everything we're thinking!

[stroey 2,525]

Fair play from Pellegrini.

"When we play against Chelsea I say the impression is we play against a small team with very good players,’ he said. ‘Every person is different. For me, a big team which has possession of the ball must try to score more goals, must try always to win. It is different ways of thinking."

Fair play? F*ck off Pelligrino
