The Mourinho Thread

[guddy69 174]

I think we were really good last few games and we are going to beat Liverpool.. they players "that hate defensive tactics"were really trying hard..

It's all coming together..

What can we of wenger as our manager and us not to winning trophy for three seasons? Whoever is our manager will kill himself not making team have trophy for three seasons even when the players themselves fail to perform. Jose is in his hard time but will be stronger after the experience I will bet on that.

Mourinho has released his first album

Rodgers be like: I left Liverpool because I thought Chelsea were looking for new manager with lots of character

[jernej93 565]

You have to realize what Mourinho can and what he can't offer to Chelsea. He is sure one of the best managers in the world and when he leaves Chelsea he will takeover some top club. But what do Chelsea fans want right now? Youth integration, stability, attacking football? We won't get any of those with Jose. He can bring us trophies and good results but on short term. He plays around 8 players all the time since his day 1. Even in Carling cup where all the big teams are playing with their "B" squad we lost with our first 11 once again. He can talk about RLC being part of the team yes, but he talks bullsh*t all the time. Players like Baba, Kenedy, RLC, Traore won't get a proper chance under Mourinho, this is a fact. Even though they have big potential

Guus Hiddink coy on Chelsea links amid Jose Mourinho doubts

Leonid Slutsky, the manager of CSKA and Russia, is a possible candidate to replace Mourinho if sacked.

That's an interesting candidate. Slutsky is known as the 'Russian Mourinho'.

Without getting into the second half of last season where we all know things were, shall we say, different from the first half, I think the beginning of this season was simply a snowball effect. There have been mistakes, poor decisions, bad performances, bad luck, and the momentum just made the problems bigger and bigger with every passing week. It's hard to stop momentum. To carry the snowball metaphor forward, there are two ways to stop that snowball, either it hits a brick wall, or it slowly runs out of snow. Hitting that brick wall could cause irreparable damage to the wall and it's foundations, or the wall could stand strong and have no ill effects. That brick wall is firing our manager. Could be good, could be bad, no guarantees. Letting that snowball roll and eventually run out of snow is a slower process. We can't expect a season that's been downright terrible to magically turn around. With all the issues piling on top of eachother, there are a whole bunch of layers of crap to peel off one by one before this thing gets turned around. I think of myself as a positive guy, some might even say naive, but I've been watching these last few games with a hopeful eye looking for positives. If you want to see positives, they are there to see. But if you are looking for negatives, you'll find them too. I prefer to see the snowball gradually slowing down and getting smaller. For anyone who wants to see it, this club is rallying around eachother and getting ready for a positive turn. Be part of the positivity and enjoy supporting this club. The members here will have no say whatsoever with what happens on the field, but we completely influence the mood here. We all get frustrated and we all want what's best for the club, but coming here and being grumpy 24/7 doesn't help anyone. If anything we should be able to come here and be happy for having a great group of people going through the same emotions and same difficulties as we are and help support eachother through this time. I choose to see this whole thing as turning around slowly but surely with Mourinho at the helm instead of barrelling down that mountain towards the point of no return.

Are you Brendan Rodgers ?

Even in Carling cup where all the big teams are playing with their "B" squad we lost with our first 11 once again.

Kenedy, Traore, Baba, Zouma RB, Mikel, Remy.... hardly first 11.

Right now at this current state, we shouldn't be going for managers without PL experience. The English league is such a hard league to adapt to and with our current state, it's even worse. This is why I disagree with getting Simeone, Pep or any other non PL managers. Just look at Klopp for example, he is struggling already at Liverpool. But if this was the start of the season, I wouldn't have an issue of getting a manager from a foreign league.

Slutsky, on the other hand, is a very talented underrated manager. He has gotten the small club of CSKA to Quarters of CL twice, won CSKA the title many times with a squad not even worth the amount Hulk was bought for. Plus, he made Russia qualify for Euro 2016 from a very bad state Capello left them. With this being said, I wouldn't want someone with no PL experience at this moment of time. Though, I would like to see Slutsky in the PL one day.

3 of them were subs , another cost £15-20M, another has been here for 10 years.

what style do his teams play?

Still not first XI.

[kobematabryant 400]

He has a pragmatic approach to games, so as Jason said, he is similar to Mourinho or AVB.

[jernej93 565]

Kenedy, Traore, Remy haven't even started? Zouma was RB at our last PL game so yes he is first 11 since Ivanovic is injured. Mikel started because Matic was suspended. Only Baba than .. one change and our best performer was dropped (Azpi)
