The Mourinho Thread

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I can't find the post where I said I'd give him until the New Year to sort it out... but at this rate we'll be in the Europa League by Thursday morning, out of the FA Cup in round three, and in a relegation dogfight. He's done nothing to change the set-up. We've had a few wins against piss-poor opposition down to strokes of good fortune or brilliance, but tactically, we're the same predictable team we've been for two years. You can overlook poor football when we're overpowering teams and winning games, but you can't when you're failing to create clear-cut chances. How many clear cut chances have we had in the last few games? None. Unacceptable.

I know there's no-one more qualified we can bring in, but he's too stubborn to change it, and while mongs like Fabregas and Oscar get free rides, we're not going to win another game between now and the end of the month.

If we get a positive result against Porto which lets face it is pretty unlikely on current form then what?. Because if we get drawn against R. Madrid, B.Munich, Barcelona, P.S.G and for that matter Man City we are going to be on the end of a serious caning. We basically on current form are the equivalent of facing Maccabi Tel Aviv.

the summer wasnt great, but it's effectively the same squad + a "top" player in pedro, and 2 promising youngsters. So i don't think it explains the drop from 1st to 15th.

Its obvious quite a few are not hungry, and some dont give a fuck. Fabregas joined us to win the PL and hes done that. I can see why Jose seemingly blindly plays him though. He about the only one that can thread the eye of the needle, as he did so many times last season, but now can rarely be arsed.

Most now are not up for the fight, let alone realise its ultimately about sticking the ball in the onion bag.

Baba must be Emanalos nephew or something, Ramires is lungs on legs, Mikel one dimensional with imagination of a brick, Oscar is a hologram...good squad players only

Imo the only ones worthy atm are Tibo, Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Azpi and Zouma.

Maria and the board need to realise this Summer or January, that the parent clubs of prospective acquisitions are fully aware that the Russian is a multi -billionaire and as such will demand silly Man City/Chelsea money. So if there are people the 250+scouts have earmarked then dont fuck about.

Not surprising, after our disgraceful approach against Tottenham, it should've been obvious to everyone that he would never change, and that he had no future here in the long run.

I don't even care about the league season at this point as long as we don't get relegated. String a run in the CL together and I'll live.

[Reddish-Blue 2,701]

Scolari wanted Drogba gone? One quick talk from Didier with Abra, gone!

Avb trusted Lukaku instead of Drogba against United, furthermore no mate with Lampard? Gone!

Benitez thought Terry's legs were gone? It didn't take long, gone.

Personally i think if Mourinho is getting the sack, we will go back to the good ol' days, meaning,

zero stability and more and more moaning.

That’s just my two cents worth.

Yeah, let's forget about the good old days, you know, when our team actually understood the meaning of "scoring goals" and "having fun"

Let's forget that zero stability gave us the Champions League trophy.

Has he been sacked yet?

Two or three underperforming players is acceptable as generally the rest of the team picks up the slack and grinds out the victories/draws but when 7 or 8 players in your starting XI don't give a shit about the team or the result, it points to problems in the dressing room

All those rumors of a mole in the dressing room, problems between players and the manager..

As they say: where there's smoke, there's fire

True, theres so many permutations where it could have gone wrong. Yesterday, and much of this season though one thing was missing for one reason or another-someone goal hungry, a recognised striker. Its fine the neat possession round the box but ultimately you want a clinical finisher. Two would be good.

[Special Juan 28,868]

Has he been sacked yet?

In the big picture and taking everything into account I cannot believe he is still here. He hasn't even tried to shake things up such as tactics, formations and giving fringe players a chance.

If I was RA I would have him called in at first light tomorrow and want a full explanation as to what he is thinking.

[DYC. 7,542]

Eva put a gypsy curse on the club. I wouldn't be surprised if the results turned around if Mourinho got sacked. He messed with the wrong woman.

Well done lads.

Exactly. I dont think losing is the main reason all are upset. Its that Jose isnt showing any signs of improvement. Fabregas, Ivanovic and Oscar are complete and utter shit and he still plays them regularly. Even if he doesnt think RLC and Remy are ready, it would be definitely worth to give it a try. Plus, what different set up has he tried? The only different thing he tried was to play strikeless and that has already be proven to not work back when RDM tried it. I mean WTF!

I am pissed. We always complain youngsters dont have space because we have big names ahead of them, but when those markee players arent performing Mourinho doesnt give them the opportunities they deserve. Why did we sign Kelvin? Why do we have Kalas and RLC? Etc.

Jose doesnt deserve more time imo. Why give him the January window to splash a bunch of cash, not finish top 4 and then hire a totally different manager come May who might not want those January signs at all? Its a waist of money.

I don't know what it is but their is some type of bad luck curse energy in West London. bad management for Clubs like Fulham, Queens Park Rangers and now Chelsea and Leicester City is fine but maybe next season Leicester will have a nightmare and might suffer like Chelsea next season for 2016/2017.

[DYC. 7,542]

is she a gypsy?

Don't know. She always reminded me of one. Can you not imagine her with a flowy skirt and a scarf around her head, dancing on a windy field with excessive jewelry dangling in every direction?

[DYC. 7,542]

Chelsea were still shit before the Eva incident. Highly doubt this was her doing.

Swansea was matchday 1. The football in the second half of 14/15 was boring but effective. That team was actually a unit.

But you can choose not to believe. I smell bad juju.

you are right, she does look like one

[lucio 5,418]

Sorry but I count preseason matches too. We were shit in all of them, and I also count the Swansea match because the Eva incident happened around the last 10 minutes of the match. We were shit against Swansea.

I don't count lucky 1-0 wins like QPR and United last season as effective either.

The manner of how we are throwaway these matches is what's killing me right now.

she may have cursed the whole club, so they are unable to sack him
