The Mourinho Thread

[Special Juan 27,457]

Just read the quotes....Talking out of his fucking arse once again.

[Amblève. 4,995]

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?

He'll throw in some shit egg reference in his next pre-game PC and the bullshit bingo will be complete

[zolayes 14,489]

Lol I called him the Captain of the Titanic

Just seen your post he really is on thin ice

He could be called Nero .. Roman emperor FIDDLING while Rome burns

Some people are so fickle calling for José sacking. It was only 3 months ago, everyone was happy for a contract extension. Too much blame is put on José and not enough for cesc and hazard. I am fully confident mourinho will turn it around. He just needs hazard and cesc to return from pre season.

[Pizy 18,454]

So he is just clueless then? can't organise the team to play proper football, can't attack and can't even defend properly, the thing he is so famed for.

His team selections haven't been great but the players themselves have to take a huge amount of the blame too. All of our best players who were phenomenal last season have been woeful for a while now. Cesc, Hazard, Costa, our whole defense. No excuse for those guys to suddenly go to shit.

If this is was the case then no football manager will ever be sacked as they don't take part in the field. Sometime from the players's body language you can tell whether the manager lost the dressing room or not and atm it looks that way. I mean unless he specific instruct the team to not create any dangerous chances in the 2nd half the players are clearly not bothered anymore. Either that he doesn't know how to instruct them to break down a packed defence. Either way it reflects badly on him.

Oh and picking awful players like Fabregas and Ivanovic doesn't help his cause either.

[ZOS 580]

'I don't have bad feeling for the players.... I'm still the man' what in the actual hell?

[Pizy 18,454]

Pointless? How? At least whoever takes over will drop Ivanovic and Fabregas from the very first minute he's in charge!!!

Keep seeing people say they want Fabregas dropped. For who, though? We going to have Mikel as an every match starter? Our football would be even more unwatchable and our midfield even more immobile.

Who are we going to replace José with at this point in the season? Klopp ain't taking over during a season when he can't shape his own team and ease into things. Why would any top manager come in and be under instant pressure?

[Jase 43,479]

Mourinho's post-match comments are getting dull and extremely predictable. He's fast becoming another deluded version of Brendan Rodgers.

Him constantly saying "our performances deserve better results" is the basically the same as Rodgers saying "I thought we were outstanding/showed character".

Maybe he's just putting it for show in the public but if he seriously believes what he says, then he's lost it. He seems keen on sticking with the 'everything is going against Chelsea's way' theme rather than analyzing what's wrong with us and focusing on making us better. I mean, how can we look so clueless in attack and make the same defensive mistakes over and over again in every game?!

We have no suitable Fabregas replacement. Unless we moved Oscar back next to Matic and had Pedro, Hazard, and Willian behind Costa. Josè won't do that.

We had no choice today but to pick Ivanovic apparently.

Unless he's lost the dressing room

And then he has to go

There's no way back from that!

And pussyfooting around the players - if they played shit - tell them! Stop praising them for playing shit - that's encouraging shit behaviour

Punish poor performance, reward good performance - is that a difficult concept to master

I know what he's trying to do - build the old Jose seige mentality - trouble is that's an old trick and has no use in today's game.

I don't want to swap manager - I want him to prove he's the best by sorting it fucking out - but he wont and we'll end up with another interim manager.

Jesus - 12 months ago things looked good - great attacking play, nice squad - has anyone else ever imploded so quickly as this? It's just bizarre and defies belief.

Change the system in the case of Fab being dropped. 4-2-3-1 is not working. He needs a rest more than anything. 2 weeks off.

Agree, who will replace Mourinho. All good and well calling for his head but for who?!?

RLC would be 10x times better than Cesc.

[killer1257 3,282]

RLC would be 10x times better than Cesc.

Or ten times better than Mikel

He could use RLC instead of Fabregas, and Aina instead of Ivanovic.

I'm sure Aina would put in a better performance than Ivanovic.

I think (I hope) what is said in the dressing room will be much different to what is aired out in public.

[Chelsea? 892]

we've been below par since january

Indeed I hope so

But he's had this problem for months and is no closer to solving it - actually making it worse!!!

That's why I think deep down I know his time is up here
