The Mourinho Thread

New team and new manager, people need to remember that.

He came and straight away did it before but doesn't mean it'll happen straight away again.Times have changed.Our squad have got older,lost class players it will take time.Yesterday was a complete disaster game..not the first time we've had one like that in other seasons it how the team react to it that counts

[HD3D 1,038]

Here we go again. If in doubt get in touch with Roman, to buy more players. I just wonder, how much longer is he going to tolerate this shit ?

It seems to me that approach is much better than the old one "if in doubt, sack the manager"

Thing that annoys me more is people expect us to be 10 points clear etc, this team has new young blood such as Oscar, we haven't got a firing top class forward and we have yet to find our starting 11 that Jose is happy with, that is why we won't win the league but I am not frustrated because we are building the foundations. Of course winning the league would be great but we are not quite there yet, Jose needs time to build this squad and nurture them his way, no rash sacking but give him time.

For me, we aren't that far away, be patient people.

My friend who isn't a big football was watching this match with me. The only thing he could talk about is how pathetic Ramires was. He didn't shut up for the whole game about how useless Ramires was. A he was right...

Its not as if he is so pathetic, its just that he has three bad weaknesses.

He cant pass and he is too small in size for a box to box CM, and he cant score unless its a 1 on 1 with the keeper.

He makes up for it with i think the best tackling in the league though, but......

My friend was mainly speaking of his passing and shooting. Mainly his shooting.

No one doubt Ramires ability, stamina, just do not try to score goals, that´s all. The game could have been won had he just looked around & passed the ball.

Mourinho is our man.. I came to learn this only after I saw Pep go to Bayern. I was expecting him so fucking much to come here that I was gutted as much as I would when we loose a PL game.. now, Jose is a great manager (at least as good as Guardiola), yet he came to us when no good manager wanted to, like a true friend would to his beaten up budy.. and that brought tears to my eyes and I felt bad for wanting that Catalan bastard. I felt bad for forgetting what I really am, a die hard chelsea fan who is supposed to hate passionately everything about barca. Mou is a blue and no sane chelsea fan should even think about loosing him again

ermmmmmm

He was a Barcelona man then change to another club. It would have been with any manager coming to the club.

The squad is really unbalanced, and imo people in England tend to overrates Mourinhos impact. City have a better squad, and at the end of the season the natural outcome is City in front of Chelsea.

The chauvinists in disguise will get angry, but this is a team where Lampard in the decline of his career is the untouchable DM, the best option to replace Lampard is Mikel ( ), Azipilicueta (a so so RB) is playing as LB on a regular basis, Cahill is considered the best to play alongside Terry, 3 CF that can't score goals (one of them returning from retirement in Russia), to other side we have 6 quality attacking midfielders for 3 spots.

I don't think this kind of team is good enough to win in the ultra competitive PL. I think the situation would be worst if we didn't had a proper manager.

all the points you made were correct .. you only missed out that we have the least prolific scoring strikers in our history ,,apart from when Bates's wife got him

to buy Sutton ...

Does that mean you have a friend who is a big football?! It's not nice to make fun of your friends obesity, Spike

So easy to say in hindsight that he got it wrong with the subs today, I disagree. The subs were okay, it was a reaction to our defenders and GK having a nightmare and putting the team in that situation when we should've been comfortable.

I don't think Jose did much wrong today.

Although I agree with this, who is responsible for training our defense?

It goes both ways. He has mertis for the way our attacking trio is playing (it has immensily improved), but so he does have blame for the horrible way we are reacting to defensive set pieces...

You ever heard the term "Polishing a turd" ? Try as you might players like Cahill & Torres will always be shit. Couple that with a lack of luck then you lose. Im glad our deficiencies are being shown before the January transfer window. Hopefully Jose realises this squad wont win shit all.

But he is the one deciding to play Cahill and Torres, so your argument goes to waist...

If he thinks he cant make the team play well with Torres and Cahill, he shouldnt have loaned Lukaku and used abother CB (Kalas, for instance).

Who can he play? Luiz is injured, Ba is crap, Eto'o is crap. The alternatives are just as bad. Kalas you say? An unproven cb is the last thing we need. Yea we all know Lukaku loan was a bad idea but its done now. Also I dont think he would have solved our problems anyway. We need a world class CB, CDM and ST come January.

I'm sorry but some of the comments in this thread are ridiculous. This forum as a whole in fact. And it's not just on here, it's all of social media as a whole. Even some people that go to the match.

I go to every home game, and some away. and I hear it every single week whether we win lose or draw.

It's starting to wear a little thin. Finding it a tad pathetic and cringe worthy if I'm honest.

If its like this now, I don't wanna know what it's like on here on match days. Twitter is bad enough for that.

I've kept my opinions to myself long enough and quite frankly I don't care who doesn't like this, it has to be said.

Those of you who follow me on twitter will probably already know how I'm feeling. I've expressed a few feelings I've had in recent months and as you'll know I'm getting bored if some of the shit coming out of some people's mouths.

I'm pretty sure some of you can't remember the days when we were overjoyed to just win the FA cup. And we're ecstatic to even get near the top 4 let alone b challenging for the Premier League trophy and challenging for trophies on all fronts.

I know we're a different team in a different era now but some of you haven't a clue how lucky we as supporters are now-a-days to have such a successful trophy winning Club because it hasn't always been the case.

You should feel blessed to be where we are, not bitch and moan about every little thing.

And to blame Mourinho is absolute ludicrous.

Keep the faith, keep the blue flag flying high. If you go to the games, sing up. Because the atmosphere at the Bridge has been atrocious as of late and has been for a while and it needs sorting out.

I do my best to get it going but a lot couldn't give a shit about letting their voices be heard. Just happy to sit there and show no support whatsoever. I'm sorry, but I'm not. Going to support your team means actually SUPPORTING them.

Which means singing up, making your voice heard, supporting the players, the staff etc, staying until the game has finished and not leaving half way through. That's pathetic and isn't why you pay your money..

You need to realise how lucky you are and enjoy every second of it.

I'm sorry to all who don't like this and there will be a hell of a lot that don't but I don't care. It had to be said.

Anyway, KTBFFH, CTID and enjoy!!

Rant over.

Admins, feel free to move this if I've posted in the wrong place.

Cheers, TCB.

Chelsea story coming here later this evening that will be making headlines tomorrow. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Hate shit like this so be ready to delete this thread when it hopefully turns out to be nothing.

[Rmpr 8,977]

What an unnecessary thread!

Why not just post it somewhere and create a thread only if the story ends up being worth it?
