The Mourinho Thread

[Kezza 1,965]

Jose knows a good team when he see's one..Chelsea and The All Blacks!

Mourinho fanboys like you just don't get it, it's the truth buddy. You don't see the big picture only see the short and immediate. I don't like the direction we are going with him, it was the case after winning the double it is the case after our worst start in 30 years. Nothing changes, nothing have occurred or seen to cause paradigm shift.

It is not about moaning it is about wanting the best for the club. That will only occur under a new direction.

Then stick to Tennis. Go watch Wimbledon and wear a suit and a tie., since you are looking for a gentleman's sport.

Such an over the top reaction. Bottom line we won a game against nine men and it could have been a totally different outcome if Costa had been sent off.

I didn't see you give the same excuse when we played twice with ten men and wound up with a not so pleasant result. Like I've said. We know who the real fans are.

[CMS 382]

We were the better team perhaps but if Costa had been sent off it could have gone either way. It was a better performance when it was 11-11 but after Palace or Everton well anything would have been an improvement. Have we turned the corner i'm not convinced. Ivan and Fabregas were better yesterday but i really am not a fan of Fabregas. He reminds me of that quote about Trevor Brooking by Brian Clough '' He floats like a butterfly and stings like one as well''.

If, if, if, if and if. If only the Chelsea wears red.

I'm always entertained to read people's tactical analysis of our games, or their gameplans going into the next matchup. We should've pushed for a second goal, we should never sit back and keep pushing, why does Mikel even dress he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. We should attack, we should play a high line, we should press press press, we should go to Newcastle with high intensity football and rip them to shreds.

It's as if Chelsea are the only team on the field and Jose's decisions should be made in this dream world where our tactics are not countered by opposition managers, where other teams don't have strengths that exploit our weaknesses, where our player's mentality and maturity is unquestionable.

Chelsea doesn't play games in a vacuum. There are two teams that are trying to get results. Sometimes Jose's tactics and team selection will suit the supporter's views like the CL game last week, other times we will rant and rave that the guy is an imbecile. I'm not a blind JM lover, the guy makes many questionable decisions where reasonable debate can be had over whether or not he was high at the time or just plain stupid. But I can step back and analyze what his reasoning was for that decision. For the most part, to generalize, he chooses the safe option more than I would like and sometimes it blows up in his face (playing 2 DM's against Everton). When he's wrong, he's wrong, but WHY did he choose that option? if people look beyond the black and white facts and analyze the leadup instead of blindly saying this is what we've got to do and screw off with whatever the other guys are going to do, then the decisions become tougher and it's easier to understand why some head-scratchers happen.

Again, even with all the above things being noted, sometimes he's off in his own world and its indefensible, but let's all keep a little more perspective not just when things are bad, but also when things are good.

Excellent post mate.

Yes and your not one of them. You call yourself a true fan bollocks mate. I've been supporting Chelsea when you were just a glint in the milkman's eye. Been all over England and Europe supporting Chelsea mate have you?. Your such a baby. Grow up a debate is exactly that a debate where people will always disagree with others. Just because someone doesn't like your view you just say go and support another club like a petulant child. A football forum is supposed to sort of replicate a pub where people will discuss and disagree with each other no matter the topic. Your the sort of geezer who would walk out crying because people didn't agree with your idiotic rhetoric.

why? why cant u simply drop iva?

every time a winger walks by iva, my love for jose dies a bit.

ps - zouma and now RLC and kenedy and baba. youth wise, we are on the right path. on the other hand, it just confirms, that if u r sent on loan, u r dead to jose.

That might be the best stat i've seen in a while. Finally getting goals from everywhere in the team after last season it was pretty much just Hazard and Costa.

AND JT and Falcao aren't on there who will definitely chip in with a few throughout the season.

Well I dont know about anyone else but personally Im alot happier than I was a few short weeks ago. The young guys are doing good (would like to see Traore getting some time) Im not normally a big lover of Remy on the right but he put in his normal good work and he deserves more time but right now all our AMs are playing good. Happy days.

Mou does praise some strange players sometime. I was pretty happy with Rami and Mikel but to not give Kenedy a proper pat on the back was a bit sad. For 19 and his 1st start I thought the kid was calm as a cucumber. And for a potential big money making HG player his potential to us is sky high.

I still just dont get the Bane situation. This sex tape must be a howler. Does any of you dirty mac brigade have a copy of it?

You know what makes me laugh and confuses me didier. You have made clear numerous times that you think Ivanovic is not good enough and how much of a liability he is when he plays, yet you have him listed as your favourite player

he is my favourite player. iva has been brilliant for us for the past 7 years (give or take). i love his passion, his physical playing style. damn i even shifted to RB from CB. hell i even try to run like him with my head swaying in every direction.

but currently he is hampering us massively. he has lost some pace (be it because of age or improper pre-season) which gives the wingers the oppurtunities to fly past him. he is so scared of getting close to wingers and losing the foot race that he has stopped using his most potent weapon - his physicality. all in all, i dont know how this problem can be solved, but i am not willing to have our right side be treated like a free way until then.

Look in the mirror buddy. You want a debate and you certainly didn't post like someone who wants a debate. You claim a petulant child on my part, but your post says a million about petulant childish behaviors. Again practice what you preach. Your case is akin to a pot calling a kettle black. Looking at your whines here, I'll take a fan for a day more than a fake for a golden jubilee.
