The Mourinho Thread

[Rhino's Skin 972]

. And fans are still chanting his name? That is great, nice support, thumbs up .. but why am I never hearing support for Willian or Zouma, our best performers this year? I am only hearing "Jose Mourinho" and "Diego, Diego!" ... great

At the moment, the Willian song is sung more than any one regarding individuals...followed by JT double. Even Fabregas has had his one sang in an attempt to lift his performance like we used to with Torres.

Saw this on Reddit today

We have been seriously off the pace for some time now. Last season, we got 41 points from the second half of the season, a decent haul. However when tallied since January, the warning signs last season become crystal clear. Of the 17 teams in the Premier League for both seasons, we are 9th.

• Arsenal: 72
• Man City: 65
• Man Utd: 64
• Leicester: 60
• Spurs: 59
• Southampton: 58
• Liverpool: 57
• Everton: 57
• Chelsea: 56
• Crystal Palace: 54
• Stoke: 51
• West Brom: 46
• Swansea: 42
• West Ham: 39
• Sunderland 30
• Newcastle: 26
• Aston Villa: 23

Now obviously, I will pre-empt this by saying that this shouldn't be directly inferred from. Clubs may have harder schedules one half of the season and that won't be accounted for, only looking at a calendar year. But it is nevertheless telling of just how pedestrian Chelsea's results have been for quite some time now in the league. In the last 3 months or so, pedestrian doesn't even begin to cover it( Since beating Arsenal we have collected 8 points from 9 games).

The reason I'm posting is, is not to call for scapegoating or knee-jerk reactions, but because I'm tired of deflections of bad form or bad luck. There is no way bad form is this consistent, this prolonged or this widespread among the entire squad. There has been no real response or reaction, our form is only stagnating. Burying our heads in the sand about it serves no purpose. We'll see how the rest of December goes but we are on track to get 63 points from 38 league games.

This doesn't rest on one person's head. Or one transfer window. Neither are faultless.

Either the squad is complacent and mentally weak or they are burnt out or the dressing room is lost. A combination of the three in varying factors is more than possible.

Thoughts?

yeah...if we gained the same amount of points after 15 games from now till end of season as last season..we will be sitting quite pretty...i.e. with an outside chance of 4th spot = 66 points.

Just shows that last years results didnt really tail off that much

If only we had a chance of that happening - but seriously can you see us stringing a run together like that?

Indeed and that's not a negative mate

Just wish you'd been right and me wrong - this whole situation sucks

Sorry mate, you're one of the bosses around here, but please show some respect and don't joke around with this subject.

You know what they're doing, not funny.

A few day ago it was all over Dailymail.

He'd take Ivanovic with him, because he can't CROSS.

Amicably part company, get an interim in until the end of the season then throw cash at Simeone.

Jose, like Klopp, will recover elsewhere, but here things are broken and he needs to go.

Maybe have him back for a short third spell before he retires, because it would be a shame if this was his last action for Chelsea.

The end is definitely near if even Tomo is no longer defending Mourinho.

Hire an interim. Go all in for Pep in the summer.

[didierforever 7,349]

fucking hell, this seems real. if we lose (which is very likely), he is GONE.

wake the fuck up jose. for once, play a fucking team that can actually give us a chance of winning than a team you seem to have casted in stone. PLEASE. atleast give yourself a chance.

I dont think he reads this forum. Funny if he did though

he was on the road to Damascus and saw the light

[milka 3,346]

He must beat Porto

[Muzchap 8,966]

To me these last few pages should see the end of the word 'plastic' ever again (apart from that one) on the forum.

Yes, @Didierforever has been critical of Jose, as have I, Stats, Lionsden and many others, sorry ipad is a mate to type on, sticking to the preselected words is quickest.

But even now, people that want him gone are still pleading for Jose to change something and deliver something 'special'

It is a true demonstration of 'heart' vs 'mind'

I can't speak for everybody, but this to me is the crux of the dilema, in our hearts this was supposed to be our fairytale, sadly the reality is different, very different.

And that's why I am (possibly we) are so critical of Jose. Not one person on here enjoys watching us lose.

I guess our destiny, pro Mou, against Mou will be decided in 48 hours - but one things for sure, you cannot question our members on the commitment and passion towards the club.

I'm proud that the forum has allowed both views to coexist, despite some regrettable casualties and the odd overheated moment.

So I guess as the French say, C'est la vie - but Chelsea will go on....

Pep wouldn't come to Chelsea, he has hated the club since his Barcelona days

90% of the things I've said 're Jose still stands, but right now its not working for either party.

It's sad it's came to this but on the plus side, future managers won't get judged compared to Mourinho and have the fans chant for Jose when we have a bad spell, like what happened between both his spells every time we hit a rut, every cloud and that.
