The Mourinho Thread

[robdog 2,084]

He didn't spoil anything. Everyone dies in the Game of Thrones. You should already know that ^^

Specially a character like Tywin.

Fuck man why spoil things away for all of us!

Alright mods, ban him since he change the subject!

I don't didn't see what HD3D was referring to in Episode 4. I am upset that HD3D didn't tell me about the Night's King. Getting back to the topic - Jose's masterplan worked to perfection. He put in Hungry players that he knew could get a result. Lpuke were expecting the usual suspect & were completely blindsided. Now they are trying to spin that Chelsea are anti-football. Sorry did I miss something in the match? Did Chelsea pick up the ball & carry it across the goal line? Don't mess w/ the Mind of Mourinho or you will get burn

Well boys within an hour or so, Jose is going to be fined or even banned for improper conduct by the FA a-holes.

Chelsea's Rui Faria faces stadium ban after admitting to FA charges, but Jose Mourinho denies wrongdoing

[bushman 2,043]

Jose to contest the charges.

Zabaleta defending us and Mourinho

That's what really matters. We're in an UCL SF and we're fighting for the title. The haters are jealous and bitter, but deep down everyone thinks this way. They just keep taking jabs because they get their pride hurt by us. I'm sure Zabaleta would say otherwise if they were the ones losing 0x2 to us (he probably did in one of their two defeats to us). That's the thing, they know deep down (as well as all fans in the world) that what matters the most is the result. Teams will progress and start showing better football as long as they have one of two things 1) stability with managers and players staying for long so they can develop a work throughly; 2) an inherited style that defines the club such as Barça with the tiki taka and Real Madrid as a counter-attack team. We don't have either because José didn't even inherited a style as our last 3-4 managers couldn't have any more different styles and they covered only three seasons. So while I think every fan would like a more appealing and beautiful style you won't see them disregarding a title because we didn't play the most attractive football in the world or at least attractive enough (although I don't doubt a few members here would do that).

“Everyone has their own style of playing, of setting out their team,” Zabaleta said. “These possibilities exist in football and you have to respect that. In this case, Chelsea are Champions League semi-finalists and fighting for the title, you can’t say anything more than Mourinho is an intelligent manager who knows how to set his team out.”

I'm sure Pelle did not like the sound of that.

Well if they start fighting I don't mind bringing Zabaleta over to our team.

[Rmpr 8,977]

What many dont get is that it's not only defending. It's defending exceptionally well, with every player doing what they are supposed to while trusting others will also do the same. José was simply a genius on Sunday. We made the best attack in the Premier League look like complete fools!

And for the Loserpool fans calling our "style" anti-football, they better wash their fucking mouths. What we did is well within the rules. However, what really is anti-football is all the cheating that evolves that club: the diving, referee's bias, FA protection, non-existing goals, Hillsborough overdose, etc!

Anyway, all I got to say is FUCK YOU LIVERPOOL!

I am not sure if you read this quote from Mark Schwarzer, but it's an excellent retort for those fools who feel that Chelsea doesn't play proper footie:

Mark Schwarzer - "It’s quite amusing to hear the criticism because the bottom line is there was a tactic we employed and it worked down to a tee. We played within the rules and we played the best way we thought we could get a result, tried to frustrate Liverpool and it worked.”

He absolutely nailed it.

I just saw that your responded Rmpr so I am adding your post here. I have been following CFC for a while now, thanks to beauty of Globlization & internet access. The one thing I have noticed is the fact that CFC have always played a counter-attack style. Back when Zola & the lads where there to now. CFC seem to have a good striker that they can punt the ball to & speed on the flanks. Ok maybe you can say in '09 CFC was more tika taka, but it always seemed that CFC would love to have the speed on the break & look for advantages w/ the strikers isolated against slower defenders. Jose has just put this on another level.

Is it just me or are Liverpool fans starting to sound more and more like Arsenal fans circa 2009 to the day?

There's a striking similarities, they think possession = points, they bang on about how they play the 'best football', lose at home to Chelsea and spend days and days after the match telling whoever will listen they morally won, stubborn manager who would rather lose than abandon his 'principles'.

All they need to do now is spectacularly blow the title and they are in every sense off the word the new Arsenal.

[Strike 7,853]

Liverpool don't really play possession football anyway. Do they expect every team to come to Anfield and attack, just so they can hit them on the counter? Jose slowed the tempo down, wasted time from very early on and Liverpool had no clue about breaking down the defence

09 CFC was not tiki-taka

What is amusing is that the bindippers don't even play a possession based game this season. They're one of the most direct teams in the league, a huge difference from last season when they were truly a side looking to be patient and wear teams down by denying them the ball.
