The Mourinho Thread

[Parky 739]

Jose does not know properly rotate the whole squad to have all the squad match fit and sharp. Also he lacks any skills building up a young players to their full potential. He needs the best players at their peaks to have any success.

I didn't think Baba was very good in the second half, to be honest. He was better, but still does not look Chelsea quality imo - I honestly hope he proves me wrong.

I would like Oscar to start over Cesc, obviously. But I can see why Jose continues to start Cesc: We lose creativity almost completely with Matic-Ramires-Oscar. Personally I didn't think Cesc was bad against Aston Villa. Still not good enough, but he was not a liability.

I can't help it. Jose is a man of the club. Loves the club. I honestly think he will pull us out of this mess, this season has been an exception to an otherwise spotless record (and no, Real Madrid 2012-13 was different; the players rebelled against him but the players are 100% behind him at CFC). I can understand people that want him out but I hope you understand why people want him to stay.

However if we get knocked out of the Champions League his fate is sealed. I believe it also got RDM fired, after it became clear we would not qualify.

sorry, dude, cant agree with most of what u said.

baba was good in 2nd half. did not a single mistake or give any leeway in the 2nd half.

what creativity are you talking about? when was the last time cesc did anything creative or "control the tempo" etc etc as people claim he can do.

what difference would would RLC/musonda/boga/baker have made against villa if they were playing in place of cesc? i honestly think they would have been far far better.

if jose loved the club, he would have kicked cesc out of the team a long time ago. his continous inclusion of cesc in the main team smacks of nothing but ego and favouritism.

Each to their own. But to say that Jose does not love this club is absolutely wrong.

Cesc is capable of doing amazing things, I think that even you would admit that - he has completely lost belief in himself.

ehmmm.....Rlc will probably start the next game, as someone else already explained he's very young and doesn't have it in him to play a full 90 min match, let alone 2 matches so close to each other.

Yes, the rotation everyone was crying for is happening.

If Rlc won't start/play at least 45 mins the next game i'll eat my humble pie.

As to why "Rlc isn't on the bench and Fabregas is starting"

Maybe i would give minutes to Oscar instead of Cesc but that's it.

Will quote same message over and over, really, i'll do.

He also loves Inter. Doesn't that make him plastic?

RLC is a professional footballer, playing for a team like chelsea. are you telling me he cant play 90 minutes? if yes, then jose's judgement is way more worse than i thought before. dont say that he is just 19. i have seen 19 year olds play 90 minutes twice in a single week and still fit enough to play a match.

again, why is not cesc benched? what has he done to guarantee a first team place?

Costs 30m and £150k per week and probably a secret clause of playing regularly all the time or something.

Jose basically asking for a stadium ban from Uefa right now!!

But he complemented Matic, Ramires, played the progress we're making. And you bastards were saying he had no clue about man management - just brought 5 players back.

I just don't understand this man

Right... And guess who would still be playing at RB spot if not for the injury?

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Consistency? shit Consistency...

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

He wasn't wrong though...

i want to make a joke about rotation and how Jose's lack of it would cause him stalled shoulder growth in the gym but it's just not happening

I've watched the Aston Villa match over and over again. I don't think RLC completed more than 60% of his passes. They were mostly mistimed or misplaced. Also, I don't think he won more than one or two tackles.

He may have showed a promising attacking movement in that match but he was easily the worst player in the CENTRAL MIDFIELD against Aston Villa. He was rightly subbed off and didn't deserve to start the match today.

He's got massive talent but showed non of that on Saturday and now that Matic is showing some improvement, I think it's time to try Kenedy or Traore in some interesting games.

RLC will be back but I think he really needs to up his game. This is a good opportunity for him to showcase himself before our players return to full form
