The Mourinho Thread

[didierforever 7,349]

So suddenly u forget what he did for this?? You should be embarrassed from your self. The players are underperfoming. He is not going nowhere.

he is CHOOSING the fucking players who are underperforming. do u understand that SIMPLE thing?

[Cosmin 2,484]

I don't want him to go, but what's there to be done? Sack the players? Fine them? Do what? I really can't see a solution to this. Maybe he just needs to publicly admit that he's lost it, then shut the hell up and then try to fix it as much as it can be fixed.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

If he starts Ivanovic in the next EPL game then I've truly lost hope in Jose and I'd want him to leave after that. If Baba Rahman starts the next game and we play attacking footbal then there's still hope.

Heh...we were all hoping that he would have been dropped a couple of games before..he's only dragging his name and Ivanovic's in the mud by starting him over and over.

Just sack Ivanovic

OUR PLAYERS DID NOT GET WHAT THEY DESERVED

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahah

At this point he surely must be replaying his press conferences and laughing at home

To all you Mourinho sycophants and apologists how do you feel now?. Has it dawned on you yet that he's yesterday's man. So far we have been utterly outclassed by Man City, Palace and now Everton. So take the blinkers off and your fingers out of your ears because there no excuses for the shambles we are getting served up. Square pegs in round hole tactics and formations, players who look both knackered and disinterested.

We are so predictable and are getting out thought and out fought by the opposition players and managers who must say target Ivan and bully Fabregas (most overrated player in the history of football) and that's it you win the game comfortably. How these two are still anywhere the first team is a fucking mystery. Is it loyalty no it's just blatant pig ignorance on Mourinho's part. Who's he going to blame for this latest fiasco?. Ball boy no been there done that, pitch likewise, medical staff, refs no done that as well, our fans not loud enough and not a patch on Liverpool's no he's used that nugget up as well.

I have been saying that everyone who was happy when your winning but playing negative football. Well you reap what you sow because now we are losing and losing badly to the likes of Crystal Palace. The only crumb of consolation is we should make the top four simply on the basis that apart from City no one else is much cop either. Right i'm off to the pub to celebrate Labour getting a new leader out with the old in with the new hey Roman?

The most dissapointing thing is that apparently he worked the hardest ever, players working the hardest ever, they came with conclusion from defeats. There's literally nothing new at all, even as primitive thing as corner kicks remain the same, some new patterns for corners is the minimum you can expect but there's nothing new.

yep. I'm disappointed with his choices, but it seems like he works hard, but not what should be worked. We look like a team that hasn't been drilled in anything.

We look poor in all three zones of the pitch. We have no unit, organization, style, anything.

Blaming him for playing Ivanovic is the easy way to show how poor he's been. We look exactly the opposite of what we were last season around this time. We were still organizing our defense, but those were individual mistakes, not the lack of everything we see now.

It seems he's been worrying too much about too many things - many of them which aren't even his problem - and not focusing in the one that is his problem alone: train the team properly.

Why do we look so insipid? because the players are poor? That's just one aspect. Even poor players show through their poor playing they have drilled something in training sessions. We look completely lost. Like a bunch of players put together. If one tried to use a word to define our defense, midfield and attack what word (other than mess) could they come up with? Teams have philosophies, and whether they're bad or good is up to discussion, but we look like nothing. Every time we defend in defense or midfield, we make transition from defense to midfield and midfield to attack and every time we attack we look a different way. Sometimes we press, sometimes we don't, sometimes we play a low block, sometimes we don't, sometimes we transition exchanging passes, sometimes we move the ball quickly forward. Sometimes our striker is out of the box, sometimes he's inside, sometimes our wingers infiltrate, sometimes they don't. We never shoot outside the box (today was the exception). Actually this season we barely shot. We look clueless in all sort of set piece, but especially lost in our corners.

This is a team that hasn't been drilled and that's much worse than playing Ivanovic. For that José should be held responsible more than anything else and for that he should consider resigning if he doesn't come up with answers, that's his main job after all.

People acting like it's a few games when we've playing badly all calendar year.

Winning an extremely weak league last year set us up for failure.

No quickfire solution here..

Support the team, support the manager and get through this horrible season.

Then start again next season.

[Tomo 21,733]

These calls for Carlo are hilarious, are you people forgetting he oversaw a run of one win in nine games?

[The Rising Sun 709]

mourinho out. Too much ego and too less on the training field.

He has the magic of going to a team and understanding what it needs to win a title.

Once that title is won, and those players lose their flair due to his boring management, they stop performing, and he doesnt have any new ideas.

4-4-2 ? does he even think of new formations? or even different players for positions.

Out.

[ZOS 580]

I don't want him to go but I would understand the decision if gets the boot.

Nope all he knows is 433, 4231 and 442 when chasing a goal. Also attacking sense he is FUCKING CLUELESS, he doesn't know shit and there is a reason why his team never consistently play fluent football. Counter attacking is the only main method he knows

"I don't blame the players, I don't blame myself. I don't accept the result". First noise from the post match interview.

Wow, that's a new one. But what the fuck does it actually mean though? I don't accept the result. The result is what the result is. Whether you "accept" it or not is irrelevant. And he should really blame himself first and foremost. Just pussyfooting around the fact his tactics have been ineffectual and his team has been found out. Difficult to take his words seriously anymore. Sounds like a dead man walking.

[Pizy 18,368]

Wow. Reading these quotes from his post match on Twitter...

Has he lost the plot? This is scary.

Maybe he is indirectly 'blaming the board' for not signing any top class players this summer? Even then with the same squad as last season this is just not good enough.

[Roquila 1,335]

What a nice tactical game. Starting with KDB, Schurrle and Lukaku was a masterstroke. After we were winning 3-2 Jose knew that we need a better defensive shape so he subbed Mata who was playing as CM to get Felipe Luis in this game.
David Luiz had a great game too, he even scored a header! Petr Cech made some awesome saves that would've been goals if it were any other keeper playing for us.

I didn't even bother to read them, I know he'll blame someone, say we deserved better and that his players were amazing.

Did I miss anything or got anything wrong?
