Or now pointing out the mistake and the need to improve means blaming? kc_blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike 373 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 What are the odds Mourinho gets sacked if we dont win the PL or even finish 3rd......I mean Roman must of known that Mourinho was always going to play a certain way and not deliver his sexy football that he wants, so, this shouldn't be a surprise. However, the recent criticism from the outside might propel Roman to make a decision sooner than later in regards to Jose.

However, the recent criticism from the outside might propel Roman to make a decision sooner than later in regards to Jose. i'd be willing to bet 1000$ he isn't going anywhere... he's already talking about transfer targets and building next year on what we've achieved this season. Roman has now owned chelsea for 10 years and has gone through a merry-go-round of world-class managers and has chosen to return to jose. My guess is that isn't an accident but more of an understanding on roman's part that we had the absolute best in the world and if you fire him, there is no place to go but downwards... also, this isn't jose's team, and roman will be aware of this. He's started to changes some things (mata, kdb sold and matic, salah and zouma bought) but none of the players brought in have been here long enough yet to make a true impact in terms of changing the shape of the team and he still has some buying to do... i think roman will judge jose more on this coming season and even then, if we fail (depending on how we fail) he might still be willing to give him some more time... this is my thinking at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman has always dreamed, envision for a specific style of play which Jose is the completely opposite....yeah but the fact that roman brought him back must surely mean something. i mean roman has witnessed jose's style first hand for 3 years and has probably been following his teams since then. he knows what he's getting so i wouldn't worry too much about jose elaving because of style...

SoulTaker 46 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hazard does have discipline issues, as both Willmots and Mourinho commented on it. You don't get all the way up on your talent alone, you need to work your butt off as well. That's what Mourinho is good at getting out of his players.There is always a danger with very talented players that they can believe their own hype and decide that they are good enough as it is. Exampe - Bojan Krkic, back then when he and Messi were going up the ranks Krkic was considered more talented of the two and future multiple Balon d'Or winner, and all this talent got him where?I'm not sayiing Hazard is on the same path, no way - he clearly is developing, is more consistent and generally better this season. But all this "I have to do it alone" talk is not good.But there is also questions of personality. Some players need to be slapped in the face in public, and some need to be cuddled and protected. And while Mourinho is usually getting such things right he's not immune to mistakes.About the discipline issue I don't think I heard anything being said by Wilmots, wasn't it the burger incident with Lekens ? I do remember Mourinho saying he didn't work enough at training though.As for the raising a player part I do believe there's thing you can teach even to player that could be called " genius ", eben if it's only thing you start to generally learn with experience. And for the freedom part it was a " what if ", let's say that Hzard had that tactical awareness and any others tools ( like knowing when his teamates need his help for the defensive works ) that could make someone allow him to act more freely and actually taking decision on the field. Do you think Mourinho would be the kind of coach to allow that ? As said before I do think he believe so much ( not wrongly ) in his tactics that I find it hard to believe he would give that kind of freedom to a player ( I must admit I don't watch la liga except on a few occasion so I have no idea how it was at RM ).About Hazard, yeah he's more consistent and has been generally better compared to last season, I do think his " up " are fewer this season than last year but It's not like I clearly remember every last season games so...

Hazard is showing glimpses of this ability but not consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Polo7 3,496 Posted May 2, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 2, 2014 Mourinho has defended the team so many times this season. He is the coach, he sees the players day in day out and he knows what they are and are not capable of. He trust Hazard and Hazard failed. No we didnt lose because of Hazard alone, other players also failed to produce. But unlike Hazard, the others didnt make comments about the style of football we play.We just got knocked out of the Champions league, then you get Hazard (who had a very average game at best) come out and talk about the teams style of football. He deserved everything Mourinho has said. People can stick up for him all they want but it doesnt change anything. Im not as stupid as some to suggest we sell our best player, I just hope he acknowledges Jose's words and works harder when on the pitch. kellzfresh, darrus, Beepu and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard is showing glimpses of this ability but not consistently.I see, I certainly do hope to see him being given a bit more freedom next year in that case, or atleast on a few more occasion then this season.Back to Mourinho I don't get how people can even bring in the possibility of him being sacked ( or did I miss a joke ? ), his tactical approach did greatly help the team to win big games although I believe with a bit more flexlibity the title would be in his hand.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 isnt that the thing we always do against lesser teams? we just lack the creativity imoNo we don't lack the creativity, we lack tactical ideas to break those teams down. This wasn't a problem under RDM remember when we steamrolled teams or under Carlo. So that is definitely something Jose need to work on. He need to find the right balance between all out attack and all out defence, I can't believe I am saying this but he should learn from Pellegrini/Rodgers on how to beat small teams. Even David Moyes did it well for MU. MrExcalibur100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
