The Mourinho Thread

[Stingray 9,441]

I 'm just so glad we have a brilliant manager.. Can you imagine Chelsea having an average Manager? We would have to watch KDB en Lukaku every week...

Yep, you may be onto something here.

Let's get rid of JM and get Enzo Scifo in to manage us. We can have Jean Claude Van Damme in to be the fitness trainer, Eddy Merckx can drive the team bus, green energy of course - he can peddle the damn thing!

Herge can write the programme notes, and while we're at it' let's get rid of that silly old lion mascot Stamford and get Tintin in to do the job. Our theme tunes like 'Blue is the Colour' and 'Blue Day' can be binned off and we can have Plastic Bertrands 'Ce plane pour moi' in it's place, he'll kick the shit out of Suggs anyday.

The players can eat moules-frites, waffles & Belgian chocolate, sod all that healthy pasta and chicken stuff.

And finally...........................................that silly old statue of that Peter Osgood fella can be melted down and we'll have that little boy pissing himself put up instead!!

Sigh .... Jihad on belgians on here ...

May I point out ? That little pissing boy is their national treasure, I believe.

I believe some Chelsea fans may think of Peter Osgood in the same way.

I don't see how this post relates to the Mourinho thread.

Well, you might have something there.

It wouldn´t surprised me though. There is only place....& PO ?

And we could call them the red devils..

I was really happy when Mourinho came back. I tought he was an excellent choice.

he could combine two important tasks:

1. Winning matches and trophies

=> too soon to tell

2. making our young diamonds better

=> For what I've seen so far, Hazard has stopped giving assists and replaced them by tackles, KDB has been sent back to school and Romelu has been expelled.

I'm not saying that Mourinho is a crappy manager all of the sudden, but SO FAR , an average manager would have done a better job.

I hope he can turn things around..

In response:

1. Time will tell, he's done enough to earn my trust

2. Hazard, in my opinion, is in a poor run of form. He had a hamstring tear at the end of last season and hasn't looked fit since. I hope it turns for him soon

3. KDB looks extremely promising, he started the first game of the season and fully contributed to one of the two best performances of the season thus far, however his performances since have looked to lack application and effort - just my opinion of course. If he wants to make himself a better player and win titles and if I were lucky enough to be in his position I'd listen to Jose and give it a go.

He's not a crappy manager and I trust him implicitly, I'd never doubt the effectiveness of him or the majority of his methods.

[zolayes 14,489]

Jose has done it again, we have a difficult away trip which has effectively become a must win after the Basle game, normally the spot light would be on that and even more so with the group stage exit last season.

Jose has sold the media a dummy story yet again.

Some of us might have reservation about certain deals over the summer, loans of players, line-ups, Jose´s behavior..etc.

Am I not the " real fan, " because of it ?

Every so called fan might see Jose as infallible, but I do not.

I questioned his dealings, that´s all. Am I not entitled to do it ? I believe, I am.

you called him clueless amongst other insults/// so what could we call you ????

[The Happy One 18]

how can we know an average manager (without even citing names) would be better?

following the same reasoning I guess I'd be better - Eva and I would rock that dressing room

[Special Juan 27,424]

I don't get the statement "I hope he can turn things around"

What exactly has he got to turn around? If we had lost three games and and looked about as effective as plane without fuel then I would agree to a certain extent, but we have lost one league match, against a very good Everton side and missed numerous chances, which on another day could go in. Basle was a bad night, but I have a feeling this fixture is the sticking point in everyone's minds and they are using it as the stick to beat Jose and call us poor.

I don't think for one second we have been amazing, we have played some good football, if anything the turning things around should be labelled at the strikers and there ability not to convert chances. Jose is dealing with a new hand, and un-opened deck if you like. Six games into the league stage and we have faced Spurs away, United away and lost to Everton....You watch how many team go to United, Spurs and Everton and come away with points, it won't be many I tell ya.

People may argue the purchases weren't right and people were let go out on loan who should of remained but that is now by the by, we have a group of fresh young blood who need to step up, they will but we need to allow them to do this with patience and support, and that means backing Jose to the hilt.

People are being fed off the press, the press have already hit the Chelsea panic button with certain supporters hands hovering right above the button,it's wrong and quite frankly annoying. It's back to this instant success thing again, people are wanting 100% records, clean sheets, un beaten runs, five and six goals a game and quite frankly it won't happen. The BPL this year is the toughest it's been for some time, I mean fuck even Arsenal have spunked nigh on 50M on one player, City have went bonkers again and United have spunked stupid money on an average Belgian......It's madness out there.

We are a young group developing, let the manager manage and give him the support he needs, the press won't, opposition fans won't but we can and will, the best man is in charge.

There is nothing to turn around, just something to build.

[bushman 2,043]

I agree, he is.

You can call me, the correct one.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

I agree, he is.

You can call me, the retarded one.

Fixed..

[Heisenberg 1,824]

The reporters are there to ask questions, any question regardless of Jose´s liking. He either answers it or walks out as yesterday.

Can Chelsea, the club really afford to have such a behavior with the public ?

Yes they can, its José Mourinho and we are a special club.

[TrippingStep 336]

It's just funny how before the season started the media were licking Jose's asshole and picking Chelsea to walk the league and whatnot. Now, after only a few matches, the Arsene Wenger love in is in full effect because Arsenal have swept away a handful of relegation candidates. Jose is now being slated in all the papers for "storming out" of a press conference, Chelsea are "struggling massively," and "they've gotta be missing Rafa now!"

Just having a look at our next 10 league fixtures, we have only 1 difficult opponent in City. I could realistically see us getting 27/30 points if Jose has us clicking. Then the media will be sucking up to him once more.

Edit- Our next 10 league fixtures:

Norwich

Cardiff

Manchester City

Newcastle

West Brom

West Ham

Southampton

Sunderland

Stoke

Palace

We should be winning just about all of those.

Yeah, only Manchester City and Southampton can cause lots of problems.

It means that in December and January we will have many difficult games.

Chelsea is a special club, in what way ?

So apart from last season we haven't picked up more than 3 points from Goodison, Old Trafford and White Hart Lane since Jose was here last. When we start dropping silly points then we can start worrying, but there is absolutely nothing to be overally concerned about right now.

well said.

I had a chelsea dvd watch last night, just the last few season reviews, and although I obviously saw it at the time, just seeing the merry go round of managers, i dont know how we won anything, lol. It has been tough.

We wanted Jose back, he is back, so everyone else stop F****** moaning.

We had stability in every other sense at the club, which is what helped us hugely (even with the assistant's we have only had 3 'club' assistant's in the Roman era, 4 if you count Emenalo's interim spell there).

But your right after suffering with the Scolari especially, it baffles me how people are already questioning if Jose is the right man.

Is the Bushman the guy that made 1000s of posts about Rafa and his greatness last season?
