Popular Post! Gilvorak 3,734 Posted September 3, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted September 3, 2015 Lionsden with some great posts in this thread. If the result at our appalling poor form since mid January is to throw more money at the problem then doesn't that make Mourinho a chequebook manager?I watched PSG play Monaco the other day & the quality of football they play in comparison to ours is lightyears ahead of us. Every single one of their players apart from Cavani is elite in possession. They split Luiz & Silva, push both Aurier & Maxwell high up the pitch & Motta (who was sensational) is the outlet, constantly recycling possession & controlling the game. That's a brand of football Jose initially promised the fans (while passive-aggressively criticizing Benitez for negative football) in one of his early press conferences when he returned"I had one meeting – not five, 10, 20 – with Mr Abramovich and we were convinced this was the way we want to do it. I don't want to defend as a low block, central defenders playing in midfield or long balls to a lonely striker. We want to be proactive."If you sit there deep in a low block, with no spaces, you can do that for three hours. No problem. I've played like that many times at certain clubs and it's not a criticism. It's an option. I went with Inter to Barcelona and, for 60 minutes, we played with 10 men. If we'd had to play for another 60 minutes, we could have. But I don't want my team to play like that."Over 2 years later & we still play a rudimentary style of play utterly reliant on one player who gets blasted when he can't consistently deliver.

We did exactly the same mistake real Madrid did in giving him a contract extension after winning the title. I think you learn more from the season where you don't win much. Take a look at pellegrini and Mourinho career in England the past 3 years. What is the difference? That even though both having rich teams they won the same trophies with the exception of one thing. There's progression in pellegrini team of style. Third season of Mourinho what is our style? It's understandable to be very pragmatic your first season but after 3 seasons we should have an idea what the guy is about. Now ask yourself is this the guy to really lead us for a decade? At the moment I don't think so. He continues to be a manager for a 3 to 5 year solution. And you know what? That's fine, but let's not get long term stability just for the sake of it. It has to be someone that has the same philosophy of the club.And by those quotes you just put it looks like the philosophy of the club and Mourinho are not being met at the moment. lionsden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The overall makeup of the team is still top 2 in the league (only City is better)....Should still be fighing for the title and domestic titles regardless of not getting pogba and a cb.However, Jose needs to be sacked in order for the fight to begin again.....

There's only one Ferguson.A manager for 4 or 5 years is more than enough. Chelsea need stability in the type of manager they appoint, and the type of players they sign.

Van Gaal has my respect United team is not good at all. Their midfield is slow, Mata is slow and Rooney has to drop deep a lot to help the midfield. They have romero as gk, who might be the worse gk in the EPL along with blind as a cb. United has scored 2 goals in 4 games this year. Team was always overrated by people thinking Bastian was going to be the same bastian as 2012. Chelsea forwards: pedro, costa, remy better than united and arsenal.AMs: Arsenal i ranked the best, but they have too many cams on their squad.CMs: Pending on Jack, but without jack, chelsea has better midfield than those 2.Cbs. I prefer arsenal over united/chelseaGK. chelsea over both united and arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Depending over Jack???Even he looks shockedJack Wilshere is fantastic player. Injury prone, yes, but when healthy, he is one of the best cm/am in the epl. Much better than ramsey isJack Wilshere is still 23 years old and outside of inform yaya, no one in the epl is a better b2b midfielder.

Much better than ramsey isNowhere near Ramsey, he is a Great Playmaker as well as a good Finisher. His play is kinda like Lampard but is not at the same level yet, but he can be up there if he remains injury prone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ but we are not superior to Utd and Arsenal but I agree this squad/team is capable of much better performances and result than we are currently showing.
