The Mourinho Thread

[Azpinator 2,325]

Why did the director cut to Jose right after each goal and after the FT whistle and not Pellegrini? What's with the obsession over him?

[The Skipper 20,609]

The board have screwed him over by taking away the cheque book this summer. After winning the title they probably had their eye on the next coach and his ideas rather than give Jose any more investment, it makes a managerial transition easier when the squad isn't entirely his own.

And that's why they gave him a new four year contract.

[The Skipper 20,609]

My god i thought these meltdowns only existed on RAWK!

So everyone should be happy that we lost 3-0 to City?

• Boring, turgid, clueless and uninspiring football. Now, no longer can be excused as winning football, as if it ever could.
• Lack of trust in youth team players despite the owner spending millions in youth team. Apparently, Mourinho needs only 10 minutes to know if they're any good.
• Bizarre and irrational behaviour, undermining the club in public. The latest being the doctor-gate, which is still ongoing.
• Same tactics in the big games, regardless of it these tactics work or not.
• A sharp increase in negativity towards the club, because of the manager's antics. And not just by rival fans too.
• Clear favouritism towards certain players, regardless of their performance.
• No progress whatsoever in our style of play. If anything, many of our players have declined technically. Just look at Fabregas in the last 7 months.
• Blaming everyone but himself for his failures. Apparently, "3-0 is a fake result". Maybe he was watching a different game. 7-1 was a fair score-line.
• Team in decline even from last season. I called it back then, but apparently, I was a "fake fan" and a "Mourinho hater"
• Manager's coaching philosophy does not fit the New Chelsea. That's very obvious. We're supposed to be a big club, but we don't play like one.
• The board not making a serious attempt to sign players in the transfer window.

Make of it all, as you wish. You guys already know my views on Mourinho and how he is not a long term solution for us and never was.

All it takes for him is after the window closes to point at a lack of good signings, indirectly criticising the board basically and this will all blow up. I can imagine it happening at some point over the course of the season if we don't make good enough signings, this match won't be the last terrible match we play this season.

You are a Mournho hater. Don't take advantage of us having a poor game to look like mr 20/20 fucking hindsight sitting on his arse on a nice sunny day.

Jezus Christ Mou ....

Get a grip! Im tired of criticising, believing, criticising, believing .... and now losing faith.

[Kieran. 6,317]

I'm officially #MourinhoOut I think. He is not the man I remembered and loved.

Expand please? Respect your opinion bro that's why I'm asking.

To be fair to Mr. E, he has always backed his views on Mourinho, whether we win or lose.

Attack their opinion, not the person.

[didierforever 7,349]

I'm not talking about today, I'm talking about the games before it. When was the last time we kept a clean sheet? All the way back to May 3rd (including preseason)? Even with Mikel/Ramires/Zouma we will eventually concede. And the game will open, eventually.

the fact that we have played only 2 real football games since may 3rd means nothing? pool, wba and sunderland were dead rubbers. no one cared.

pre-season friendlies are not something to judge on. if that was the case then barca should have a disastorous season.

we might eventually concede. but lets look at the odds. for 2 years, we have not lost a single game against the top 4 (united, city, arsenal, pool). we try to play with cesc-matic in the mid and try to play offensive football, we lose to both arsenal and city. i dont think i that u need to be a rocket scientist to know what exactly the problem is here.

And that's why they gave him a new four year contract.

Not quite the same as paying £50m for Raheem Sterling, investment wise.

You really MouOut? I wasn't sure if you were sure. I don't want him to leave, he just needs to accept what he's doing isn't working, he needs different players if he wants to play a high line with high pressing. But if things keep going like this, he may well be fired.

I just don't feel the same. It may very well be the alcohol and emotions talking but he doesn't seem the same. He looks like he's losing it.

do you think Jose will ever change.. ??? I am not saying more I am so angry ,,,,

The whole club is losing it, arguments with the medical staff, delusional about performance and now criticizing JT? Not looking good.

I don't think he will, but if he doesn't i doubt he ever gets another big job.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

That Bayern legend came out and said Bayern should hire him when Pep leaves next year and PSG I can imagine will always come for him

Yup, i instantly thought the same when looking at the post game interview. He looks so jaded and out of it motivation wise.

I think he lost the team .....
