The Mourinho Thread

[Special Juan 27,439]

Great support for him last night, really pleased to hear the fans in full voice and support of him.

I said after the Villa win, we must now put a run together and it starts at Stoke.

Chelsea may not have been feeling too confident before their Champions League game with Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday, as a fan took a picture of the scoreboard at Stamford Bridge showing the visitors holding a 2-1 lead - five hours before kick-off. The match did finish 2-1, but in favour of the Blues.

Have Chelsea fans saved Mourinho from the sack? by Dan Levene

After receiving a strong indication Mourinho's tenure was over after the 1-3 home defeat to Liverpool, with a stay of execution only there pending the breathing space of the international break, Wednesday night's show of support by fans is understood to have made a major impression on those who run the club.

Let's hope this is true!

Well, technically, they did score two goals

It is the truth, we were awful throughout the whole match and thanks to Willian scoring one of the best goal of his career scrapped a win against a average side. This is far from a corner turned at all.

Coming out of the hole we're in isn't going to happen in one game. It comes gradually. And I don't know which game you were looking, probably Arsenal's, but first half we dominated them totally. A little better movement in the box and it could have been 4-0 at half time. This kind of killer instinct and confidence is just matter of time. Eden Hazard was on fire when he came on, even only that is a big big plus for us. Last night was a step in the right direction. Proud of the result, of the performance and of the support.

Jose Mourinho will solve Chelsea problems - Jorge Mendes

edit:
If you watch the video you will see Jorge Mendes was very comfortable and confident when answering the first open question from the interviewer. But then the second question from the interviewer: ''do you think he (Jose) will stay there? Will he be given the chance to..(solve the problems)'' Jorge Mendes started to stutter a little bit, didn't directly answer the question, and even looked a little bit panicky.

This tells a lot, I think the board is/was seriously considering sacking Jose, if he isn't already sacked yet.

I've been critical of him in the past weeks and it's justified, I have also been critical of players too, and again it's justified. Last night was quite brilliant show of support from the fans, made me proud of who, and what we are. This whole situation from the start of the season has been quite unreal, some what of a 'It's just a bad dream' of course we have seen bad times before but it's also how you deal with bad times and controversy, and I honestly think this show of support from fans is massive towards our board and Jose, it's in these times we need to stick together, keep showing massive support and unity to the club we love.

I didn't see any improvement. Still clueless whenever going forward with total inept of what is going on when I have a ball 30 metres from goal from every player.

Our matches are bereft of any enjoyment. Sorry that I have to admit it, wake me up when we create something by ourself.

I'm sorry but I give up. I simply cannot watch our matches, it's horror show how clueless we are attacking, it's the lowest point I'd ever imagine from hundreds million squad.

At least I hope we gain a little bit 'confidence' now so players can figure something out on their own. After all 'confidence' is main offensive tactic for Jose and he happily admits that.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

It's a truly soccer/football inclusive phenomenon where the supporters will be enraged/angered/belligerent against the manager. From what I've witnessed in other sports people really don't care about the manager as much as a football fan does.

Hey hey speak for yourself, nothing will make me as sad as India replacing Gary Kirsten with Duncan Fletcher

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Actually I don't see this team going nowhere, and perhaps I'm not suppa optmistic, but I don't see how firing Mourinho will make the team finishing in the top 4, for me this team won't be playing UCL next season. This team needs some new players in winter and an overhaul in the summer.

Hmm, overhaul? Who would you get rid of, out of interest?

I personally don't think we need an overhaul, just 2-3 signings.

AVB is the best manager of Europe currently, only manager with 100% record so far in CL.

100% record in the Champions League but sit 10 points behind leaders CSKA Moscow in the Russian league.

Maybe that's why Mourinho has been so moody.

Wont even discuss this. Since I joined this forum in bad moments people keep saying the squad needs 2 or 3 players. Anyone who believe the squad needs only 2 or 3 players Dont understand how bad the situation is.

This squad needs 3 players at least in the defense.
