The Mourinho Thread

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

If we dont get european football next year, can he do the simple things.

can he do the required youth integration?

can he make RLC, baba, zouma, kenedy a permament or an important feature of our team/squad.

the likes of oscar, cesc need to be thrown out. mikel, rambo are okay options but we need a strong bench. a bench which can actually be used to be rotated. JT and iva most probably wont get an extension. so our mid and defence both needs an overhaul.

our attack has been poor and non-existent. infact we have looked out of ideas. can he gives us an identity. these are the questions we must be thinking about. and right now, i just dont know if he can do what would be required off him.

Yes he can.

Although if Oscar isn't good enough then neither are Rambo/Mikel

I think he will bring in Pasalic next year (we brought him as the next Frank, and he is doing well at Monaco, who I believe are in EL right now?) and sell one of our midfielders.

Who knows? I honestly believe the club will go without CL football to keep Jose around.

Not coming up with good reasoning tells you all you wanna know; people are getting desperate.

That quote was tongue in cheek and not to be taken seriously. The families of those who died at Hillsborough probably wouldn't see it that way.

That quote was made 20 years before Hillsborough. I might agree with you if it was said 20 years after. How sure are you that at the time it was said tongue in cheek? Liverpool were very passionate about their football back then, and at that time a lot of fans agreed with Shankly's sentiment.

As for tongue in cheek........When I posted it here that's exactly what it was supposed to be mate !!!!!

[Starman60 1,343]

you need to check 'facts'

Liverpool

Football League First Division (3): 1963–64, 1965–66, 1972–73

FA Cup (2): 1964–65, 1973–74

UEFA Cup (1): 1972–73

For 15 years plus as manager.....a decent record but not outstanding or certainly unbeatable as you think.

It was Bob Paisley who took Liverpool to new heights.

like I said....that quote of Shankleys is not to be taken seriously as its a load of bollix.

There are far far more important things than football and in our case Chelsea FC

It was Shankly who put in place the corner stones of the great Liverpool teams for the likes of Paisley to carry on. I don't let on to be an expert on Liverpool history, but I do remember seeing them play at the time on many occasions, and they were very good. And at that time, in Liverpool, football was very important to the people.The city was fairly run down with a lot of unemployment, so football was a passion up there. I quoted what Shankly said at the time, whether he said it tongue in cheek is up to you to work out. As for me?? I put up the quote as a "light hearted " comment...So take it as such..Don't take life or comments sooooo seriously......Life's too short

As for Chelsea ?? I've supported them since 1970, seen us relegated, practically go out of business, get sold for a pound, lose to clubs like Orient, sell our best players season after season to make ends meet, get hammered by Yid fans Birmingham fans Derby fans and the coppers in Coventry on a cold wet Saturday. So after supporting them for 45 years they are a big part of my life and as such are important to me. But do you really think I'm losing any sleep over our current predicament?? Not bloody likely.. It's been a rollercoaster ride and it ain't over yet and I enjoy all the highs.....and the lows too.

The thing is both Traore and Kennedy showed their worth last night, but i doubt we'll see them again for a while (unless he throws them on out of desperation in the last few minutes to get a goal). The same with RLC, after the Southampton loss Jose said he's going to give him a run of games, but no, RLC only lasted 45 minutes which is funny because he was one of our better players against Aston Villa. Jose doesn't turn to youth when we're winning (too much pressure he says) and he doesn't turn to them when we're losing, so whens the right time?

Nearly all of Shankly's quotes are tongue in cheek mate. We are old enough to have seen the interviews at the time. He played up to the camera and everything he said was with a glint in his eye. There was a documentary on British TV a few years ago about Hilsborough where a priest says he cringes at that quote every time he has to say a remembrance mass.

Emenalo will always escape in this kind of situation.

just because you got your facts wrong....;-)

Still think it is a shoite statement to be used nowadays

And as far taking it seriously....I was the one telling others not to and there is more to life than football and Chelsea before you jumped in with that cliched comment

Anyway reference Chelsea you are not the only one who has seen the highs and lows except some of us don't feel the need to put on here unless questioned about it

So, at the end of the day..who gives a toss.

As long as Mourinho and the team relax, enjoy playing the game and just get on with it. One of these days very soon.....the team is going to muller someone by several goals.....lets hope it Saturday lunchtime

Wtf, Jose? Attacking a reporter for doing his job!

Sigh....Is he really that insecure and unconfident at the moment?!

lol I dont think he attacked him, but he is under stress possibly because of his dads brain tumour

I am really sick of his excuses. Defend the players and take blame for bad results, be a man!

It's not everyone elses fault if we are losing with such a quality squad against weaker teams every week. And new theory, it's easier to play with 10 men? Than all out attack in first 10 minutes and than red card is the new football philosophy?

[didierforever 7,349]

Yes he can.

Although if Oscar isn't good enough then neither are Rambo/Mikel

I think he will bring in Pasalic next year (we brought him as the next Frank, and he is doing well at Monaco, who I believe are in EL right now?) and sell one of our midfielders.

Who knows? I honestly believe the club will go without CL football to keep Jose around.

oscar is good enough. even i know that and i dont rate him that highly. the point was does he "care enough".

mikel and rambo are technically limited but they give their 100% on the pitch. their faults wont be because of their efforts.

i honestly cant remember the last time oscar put in a shift/performance and i was happy with his effort.

sorry,but this team has way way too many starters like that. time to give players who actually care a chance.

Yeah, but does that report belong to the game?!
