The Mourinho Thread

[The Mak 4,459]

"I think we didn't deserve to lose."

"If the referee performs better and gives us a penalty..."

Haha, for fuck sake José, just man up and admit we deserved to lose. Man up and slate every single player who was absolute dogshit on the pitch because clearly the mollycoddling is having the opposite effect thus far. These are supposed to be men, not boys.

If true...

Mourinho does not see sudden activity in the remaining few days of the transfer window as a solution…

‘I don’t like that. I gave my club the reports of the season and projection on 24 April and don’t think now that I am going to say I want this, this and that. We have to do better, me and the players.’

If we don't buy another game changing player we won't get near the title. It'll be a fight with Arsenal, United, and even Liverpool for a CL place.

I don't understand why Mourinho's pretending that if we went in with a 1-0 lead at HT, everything would have been okay. We would almost certainly still have conceded in the second half because frankly we are incapable of defending.

Title is already lost bar a miracle. Arsenal and MU are taking the other 2 spots so we will fight with Liverpool for 4th place, thanks God they are even worse than us so I am confident we can at least get into play off place at the end of the season with our current squad.

I did type out a long post on what I think we need to do but not all of it was "throw the baby out with the bath water" kind of stuff. so I`ll give it a few days.

people go crazy during a bad spell and somebody being able to keep calm during these times is like pouring oil on a fire.

I`ll wait till all that are boiling have had chance to simmer down a bit.

I feel ashamed that the greatest (and most decorated) manager in Chelsea's history is being subjected to this because of a poor start to the season.

I just can't get my head around that.

Some are tired of his antics as well, before lot of people were willing to overlook it as long as we win but now the results are not there he got nothing to back himself up. Dortmund had possibly one of the worst season in their recent history last year but everyone still like Klopp, Ancelotti has been poor in the league and I wonder why many top ego Madrid players wanted him to stay last season compared to when most threatened to leave to get Mourinho out.

Results alone are bad enough, off the field problems such as medical staff just added to the problem.

I could imagine the treatment of Eva might have had an adverse effect on morale in the dressing room . I would imagine she was popular with the players.

Similar to when Ray was suddenly sacked in 2010-11, it has the exact same effect then.

Stop reading half truths people. This is what he said in full, you also clearly see the pk, where the guy grabbed hold of Zouma in mid air and pulled him to the ground

‘My first thought is to Palace,’ began Mourinho. ‘They came with everything, their team was ready, their players were ready and they came with a fantastic spirit. They were lucky but they deserved the luck, they fought a lot for that.

‘Secondly my team, I think we deserved more. I am not saying we deserved to win because it is not true, but we deserved more than the result we got.

‘And my third thought is the referee made a big mistake, a clear penalty [not given] for the foul on Zouma with the score 0-0. In the game for me it looked clear and at half-time I watched it on television and it was a clear penalty, unless the pundits who can see the red cards for John Terry and Thibaut Courtois see it differently from me.

‘But I prefer to go in this order and when I say Crystal Palace first it is because they are the most important thing [regarding the result].’

He doesn't have backing from the board but come on, Jose is no innovative whatsoever. I was crying inside when I saw that Pep gone with no CBs against Champions League club. Pep Guardiola constantly tries something new, whether it is playing with no centre-backs or some other crazier stuff, but he constantly switches something and try different patterns while Jose is so predictable, I mean 99% percent can say what XI we're going to field, when we went 0:1 down we knew that he will gone 2 strikers plus 3 CBs as he does every time. When some amateurs, FMs wannabes like us can say what XI we're gonna field and how we're gonna play how easy it is for professional managers ?

He doesn't have a midfield steel he'd want, Essien-type player, but there's enough talent and enough variation to try something. Willian as no.10, we know he can't create and can't score yet he is automatic pick there ? What the hell, why not try him as a CM ? Or Oscar next to Matic ? Why not play with 3 CBs from the start ? The only innovative changes Jose is able to do are with defensive players, Zouma as a midfielder (Pepe in previous club) or Azpilicueta as a left-back. Yes, that's the only innovative thinking by our manager.

He famously said that every big tactical evolution in football happened in 70s and modern managers can only copy what was made there.

That's why for 2 years we haven't build any platform yet and why Jose is usually only known for committing players to the cause.
