The Mourinho Thread

You know Rafa did a better job trying to promote the youngsters at the club (and he was a short term manager) than Mourinho has so far. Rafa gave Ake and Piazon chances. Jose has ditched Ake.

People here are acting as though it is 'Mourinho masterclass' that we are two points of the table. Well with the amount of money we've spent, don't you think that this team sort of HAS to be challenging for the title? We look disgusting going forward and one more point:

"Mourinho teams are great in defence. Rock solid."

Really? Just look at us messing up basic crosses.

He will always be the best to many. Those trophies he won for us the last time has made him immortal now to many, creating blindness and delusional.

When was the last time we had a good team performance? I mean the whole team clicking and playing well, and not just Hazard and one or two others playing well and the rest playing badly.

Bayern Munich in Super Cup for me, but then we lost so it was useless.

He brought Piazon on once when we were 6-0 up :blink:

Regarding the highlighting bit, if it was so easy then why didn't AVB or Robbie crack it?

Because they was only given a short while and the players weren't there for them at the time? Where was Hazard, Oscar for AVB? Why Robbie was sacked after 2 months?

It is his fault for signing another winger instead of a top class striker like Cavani

We don't know who is calling the shots when it comes to signings. I'm sure Jose would't have come back if he wasn't in charge of it, but who knows?

It's clear to all of us that we need a striker,DLP,LB and possibly a new CB. If we don't make any moves for either of these, something is not right at Chelsea

Wouldn't be wrong to say this team is rather fragmented right now. Despite having all these talents and a reasonably good squad, sometimes you just watch us and think "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PLAYING?!". Cannot say all the blame is on Mourinho as some should be laid on the board for not investing properly in the squad and only interested in buying 175 946 847 AMs every season. However even though the squad is far perfect, questions need to be asked of Mourinho as well because some of his decisions this season have been somewhat baffling and why we are not doing better than we have been. If it happens a game here and a game there, then you can arguably excuse it a bit but this has been consistently happening far too often.

P.S. Before anyone jumps the gun, no. I'm not asking for Mourinho to be sacked. Just questioning the situation at the moment.

Well this is Chelsea dude, don't be surprised. We didn't start to sign creative midfielders until after like 4 years later. And when we do we go on and sign 6-7 of them needlessly. Same with RB until Dave came. Now we need a striker but we probably won't sign any until Torres quit the club

Since 2009, before that maybe 2006. This team doesn't work, the person who did it knows nothing about football

This club fought for the Premier League title with Ancelotti, and in Mourinho Era. In all the other years was completely shit.

Sell Luiz, sell Mata and some others and bring real talent, prepaired to fight for titles. Because this ones are not ready. And please don't forget to bring a striker.

I don't have an issue with Luiz and Mata personally. I think there's a lot wrong with our squad and the way it's coached by those two are fine by me.

Mourinho: "We all know this is a transitional period. I believe that in another club, everybody would say 'OK, let's work and wait calmly'."

Nailed it. Everywhere but here.

That is not true at all!

We are no different than other big clubs with high expectations...

In England? Wenger more than 10 years without winning, Mancini 3 years with the best team in the country, Moyes will be at Manchester next year.

Mourinho in the first time he was here lost a League after being the best manager in the histopry of the club, and some months later was out. Since then in League Chelsea won 1 league title and didn't fight for any other Premiere League title.

I don't buy this difficult transitional period Mourinho keeps trying to imply. IF anything we are only going through it because he insists in playing Lampard 3 times a week in a position he can't play in. Take him out of the equation, get somebody there - boom! - we're suddenly exponentially better.
