The Mourinho Thread

[Crispylips 6]

I hope he has sights for a long term success with the club, rather than quick fix and dirty getaway that he is known for. I love the guy, but I don't want to have a new coach in 3-4 years time.

Forget about transfer rumours for a moment. Can't wait to see the first preseason training tomorrow!!

Good signs. Looks like the three amigos may not be in any danger. Also I had a random thought (after reading some deluded posts on Redcafe), that we have quite a better first team.

If you were to take the best players from both squads in a 4-2-3-1, you'd get

----------------------------Cech-------------------------

---Rafael--------Luiz----------Vidic-----------Cole----

--------------------Carrick-----Oscar-------------------

-----De Bruyne-------Mata----------Hazard----------

---------------------------RVP----------------------------

7 Chelsea players to 4 United. We may yet also get De Rossi which would displace Carrick. We won't get a striker better than RVP anymore though. The obvious omission is Kagawa. He hasn't proven much in the PL, although not all his fault. However what is obvious is that he is not at his best wide. He won't play ahead of Mata in the hole or Hazard on the left. De Bruyne is far better suited to play wide right.

Their first 11 is quite...underwhelming. I think they'll get found out one way or another now that there's no Fergie to compensate for their team's averageness.

This was what he said in regards to playing style

'I want to make the Chelsea fans happy – by results, by our playing style, by the mentality and the personality of the team,"

Where does it say about playing the football Abramovich supposedly "wants"?

Shit journalism, as always.

Rafael over Azpilicueta? sorry man, I can't agree on that.

You can argue Azpi over Rafael, but I like Rafael too, he struggled against us but overall he was pretty awesome last season. I'd argue Evra over Cole, Cole was disappointing last season and Evra bounced back and had a good season I thought. Vidic is class when he plays but he's barely played now for almost 2 years, I'd replace him with Rio tbh. I'd replace Oscar with Ramires too.

Our first 11 is def better than United and possibly the entire EPL but United won it cause of Fergie and they had great depth within their squad. If you create a first XI and second XI then I bet United might eclipse us (last year, probably not now).

Dave says hi. Makes that 8-3 as far as I'm concerned.
