The Mourinho Thread

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Lool this place is so boring when we lose, if you're gonna attack someone then make it our Serbian right-back

Where are all of Mourinho's sympathizers who claimed I didn't know what I was talking about? Your idol is looking pretty overrated right now, devoid of any ideas and perhaps has completely lost the dressing room. His fall is even far worse than it was back in 2007. Too busy self promoting himself midweek with silly interviews instead of practicing build up plays.

I'm here. Mourinho is still the best coach for us and still the best in the world. All managers go through bad patches and while Mourinho is going through 1 now let's not forget that it was only 3 months ago that we won the title again for only the 2nd time since he left 10 years ago with a squad that was not as good as others in the league.

He needs to work hard to change this around, granted, and the first thing he can do is drop/sell Ivanovic, have stern words with Fabregas and maybe drop him too and keep doing like he did today and give RLC, Kenedy and Traore chances as they're hungrier than some of the other players we've got.

If we finish outside the top 4 then yes, big panic but this is Mourinho, he won't lead us to outside the top 4 he'll recover cos he's a great coach like he has proved so many times before with other clubs.

We need to get much better, I agree, and some of the fault needs to fall at the feet of Mourinho but for me the majority needs to fall at the feet of the players. Ivanovic has been ****************** <-- literally no words to describe, Fabregas has been awful, Matic has been a shadow of his former self, Costa is more interested in picking fights than playing football and Willian needs someone to teach him how to shoot.

But these players (barring Ivan) have not become bad players overnight. They're good players going through a bad patch of form and either have to sort themselves out or be dropped from the team. It's up to Mourinho to do so and I believe he will, he's got his favourites but (once again barrring Ivanovic who is some kind of weird anomaly) he's not afraid to drop them and replace them in teams. He's done so at all the clubs he's managed and he just has to here.

I still have faith in him, and probably always will because he's proved himself so many times. But as i've said in other threads, this Ivanovic thing needs to stop. God only knows why he keeps picking him and after the international break Baba will definitely be fit enough and has to replace Ivan in the starting line up.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Fabregas or Ivanovic?

Fabrivanovic to be precise.

[Barbara 15,149]

there you go, not even the bandwagon who says he never takes responsibility can say shit now.

He's making mistakes, no one questions it, but let's talk about the real mistakes instead of the pre-fabricated ideas that sprout here all the time?

Also, he's our manager, we could and should criticize him, but a little bit of support and faith is what supporting a football team is about. So let's hope he figures things out soon. And for Ivanovic to be gone next summer. I'll be happy if he's gone from the next match though

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

8 points difference from City. After 4 weeks. wow.

And we come to this thread to question the competence of the manager, his awful football, clear BIAS towards certain players and mediocre results, but some no mark from Miami calls you a "prick" because you question the one he really supports.

[Styles 9,790]

Fabrivanovic to be precise.

I wish we could have like 3 managers and then substitute them in depending on circumstances.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Also, 11 goals conceded so far..the most by a team this season. If this is Mourinho's idea of a joke, its not a very funny one

[Blue Armour 4,278]

You're the prick, you stupid motherfucker. You don't give a fuck about the club. As long as your idol is protected from (fair) criticism, you wouldn't give a fuck the team is currently 13th and 8 points off of first place.

You're the definition of a PLASTIC fan! Silly Yank. You know nothing because you weren't here before Mourinho. He's all you know, you know no better. The club could do better without you PLASTICS!

Well tbf, with your "I told you so" kind of attitude its kind of hard to say that you actually care about how well the club fares

[Viper22 2,418]

Please be talking about Ivanovic....

Please let it be Ivanovic.

But I know it's either Fabregas or hazard....

To be fair you were not offering any arguments. Just professing how you were right and calling out people who have a different viewpoint to you. I would say that someone that is so joyful to be 'right' as opposed to sad because the team you supposedly support lost paints you as the plastic here, not him.

The most surprising thing about this summer for me is the fact that City made the kind of signings I expected Chelsea to make. They went out and bought players to improve the first XI. I don't understand why Chelsea didn't do this (Pedro was last minute and obviously a reaction to the poor performances and results).

[Reddish-Blue 2,345]

plus (or) Hazard, Costa, Pedro?

Pedro may have been quiet but at least he got an assist

[Fernando 6,453]

I support the mods and I think they do a great job, and the rules are crystal clear about what gets someone banned. But there are a couple of guys in this forum that I wish weren't here anymore. I disagree with a lot of people, I have a huge ignore list, but that's just because I lack the patience to deal with some kind of people. But this MrBlueGuy and many times this Excalibur guy behave like the most obvious trolls. Come on, democracy is a big fallacy, some clean up wouldn't hurt

Totally agree, MrBlueGuy and excalibur are trolls of the highest order.

[iseah100 5,612]

The last thing he cares about is money. I'm still behind him, the club needs an injection of energy.

[petr.breu 1,618]

JM: „If a player is not performing, there are two ways: trust the player and wait for improve, or… have to change. I can go both.“

JM: „Falcao's goal means nothing for the team. But for his confidence it is good“

Mourinho asked if he thinks they missed Terry's organi­sation: „I don't.“

Jose says Kenedy was responsible for the improvement and reaction of the team after the first goal. He adds Azpi was excellent.

Mourinho asked about Ivanovic: „I'm not going to [publicly] analyse individual performances. I don't do that.“

I was merely being smug. Mostly, it was directed at non-Chelsea supporting Mourinho fans. Nothing about being big headed or anything. I was only using hyper-normal vernacular to get a reaction off of these Mourinho fans. If I came here and typed "fuck Chelsea, it's a shit club", these same non-Chelsea supporting posters won't even have blinked an eye lid.
