The Mourinho Thread

[didierforever 7,349]

It's stupid as fuck to praise Jose for changing the tactics and good subs when he cocked it up from the start.

so let me get this straight.

- jose should be critisized, abused, castrated for his team selection and the team's woeful performance.

- jose should not be praised when he accepts his mistakes, changes the whole tactics around by subbing off his mistake and also by getting a bunch of players to play wonderful football after half time.

where is the sense in that?

The point is that we shouldn't have to wait til halftime to start playing well. We've started slowly and needed a tactical change in almost every fucking game this season, it's ridiculous.

Let's face it though, it's tough to come up with a set plan that is going to compliment every player in the squad. Makes it even more harder when we have so many players. It's not just drawing up on the board and creating strategies which will be used for long time. It's an experiment, mistakes are bound to happen and will until the end of the season. There are no quick fixes.

Mourinho is pictured as a supernatural manager.

I see him more as human, that an ghostly entity

playing well is on players. it is not jose's fault that our players probably react better to the hair-dryer treatment than to the normal motivation speech that i expect jose would be giving at the start of the match.

-jose dint put in a poor line up against cardiff but he did do a good job in changing the match with his subs.

-same goes for norwich. we conceded in the 60-odd minutes. went 3 at the back, changed the the tactics and won it.

-newcastle was not a bad line-up but an overall poor performance on the team's part. (dont tell me u dint want mata to play that match after his performance at the emirates.)

-the only PL game i can actually think where he did make a mistake was tottenham and yesterday. and in both those games he rectified his mistake.

jose is doing his job my affecting the result of the game and that too in a good way (almost always), now it is upto our players to put in a good performance.

Need Time To Find The Best First-11 For Every Game.

[Jase 43,479]

It's just like what Rmpr said recently. People can never seem to find a middle ground on Mourinho. There will be the bunch that completely overstates what he does and the other bunch goes totally over critical, just like what is happening above.

Ramires key to Jose Mourinho's plans at Chelsea

Nice article, have a read.

No shit sherlock!

We probably need to find another player like Ramires, if possible considering how his attributes and strengths are so important to us. Every time, I freak out if he happens to be on the ground in pain or looking as if he suffers from an injury. Nobody in the team right now will be able to replace him. Shame Essien has gone totally off the boil with all those injuries.

Agreed we need more fans like the Bahia fans

Just about to say the exact same words, "No shit sherlock!"

In terms of importance, Ramires is right up there at the top, being the most undroppable player in our team at the moment. He is just a head to toe Mourinho's type of player and like you said NOBODY can replace him.

Pity we never went for Luiz Gustavo. The energy he and Ramires would bring in a 4-3-3 would be insane.

Mourinho is pictured as a supernatural manager. He is far from that. I said in another topic that in 10 of our 13 games the team had a poor 1st half and had to fix it in the 2nd.

You can look at that picture in 2 different ways:

-Mourinho is a amazing manager and changes the game.

-Mourinho only fixes the mess he creates when he selects the team and chooses his tactics.

I would take the 2nd option. Its clear Mourinho is not on Earth. It took him more than 15 games to realize that Lampard is a shit as a DM, and the same amount of games to realize that the 4-2-3-1 he had in mind is as shit as well. Then he came up with Essien as a starring XI, after 100 years without playing regular football.

Wake up Jose.

But he realised Luiz was a liability very quickly and now we look solid . Do not take it out on Jose because your fan boy fav is out of the picture,this is all about what is best for Chelsea F.C London not what is best for Brazil .

yeah we've been conceding very few goals and getting the results... not to mention playing superbly.

Hey we meet at the world cup with Luiz and you guys with Cahill, then we'll talk.... I mean if you make the single-elimination stage of course.

[Phil Driver 503]

Chelsea is all that matters on here .

[robsblubot 3,468]

:D :D :D

Sorry it's specially funny when coming from you....

I really can't see how people want Chelsea to compete against the other top clubs with players like Cahill. That's something I will never understand.

BTW, to be be clear here: we've been conceding A LOT of goals without Luiz btw.
