The Mourinho Thread

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Mourinho to be sacked...? He no longer understands the game? Lol you lot are pathetic. Yeah we lost a game we shouldn't have but it happens in football. We want the stability of having a brilliant coach for more than 1 or 2 years. Your all a bunch of glory hunters who can't handle defeats.

And yet we didn't, we drew! If we blow our five point lead then this sort of vitriol is to be expected, but right now, it is pathetic. Lets sack Mourinho and bring another manager in.

Today, as yesterday, it is a sad day, but we are building something big. We have to be together. BLUES ALL TOGETHER.

Regards.

Regards to ALL.

I kind'a get what you mean ... but even with all your enthusiasm and good will, I don't think its possible to defend last night or any of the other big games recently.

I do NOT want Jose to be sacked. I want him here for as long as possible. I just hope he changes his way in big games sooner than later.

It'd be criminal to dent your energy and optimism any further

Regards

What sucks more is we lost to two set-pieces. I have nothing against the way we played, though there was more then one way to approach it, but we fucked up in the way we did. JT and his markers need to take a good look in the mirror. Anyways chin up. There's still another trophy out there.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Just remember before you slag him off for how the players let us down, this man bleeds blue as the rest of us do.

[Tautvix 1,321]

If you all guys win together with the team, so learn to lose with them also. It's not like Jose or Chelsea lost. We are all Chelsea fans so we are all responsible. When Chelsea win some guys say "We won" but when Chelsea lose "They lost".

[Tautvix 1,321]

As for this season the clear objective is to win EPL. The last time we won it was in 2010 and for most of the fans domestic title is way more important than CL. For me also at least this season.

Tactically the man is a dinosaur. what can one attribute his obsolete tactics to. His stubborness and unwillingess to learn and evolve or a lack of know how. Its a combination of both for me.

[killer1257 3,282]

Yes,he deserves criticism,but everyone makes mistakes.I remember when Guardiola draw against Chelsea 2012 when Chelsea had 10 men.He made the mistake to continue going forward and forward,but forgetting that one counter attack and Chelsea was back in the game.He underestimated us.

Hopefully Mou understands now that he has to play for the win when playing for the draw is too risky.

Furthermore,he needs to rethink his transfer philosophy because it was a mistake letting KDB leave,while Oscar could have been at PSG for maybe more money.KDB had always more potential than Oscar.

Also,buying always players like Schürrle,Salah and Cuadrado will not make us any better.We need one world class RW and then we will have much more threat against the other opponents.Hazard can´t play alone^^.

In general,english football needs to give youth players more chances because United brought players like Keane,Beckham,Scholes etc. from their academy when they used to be good,but always buying players from other countries,who maybe are not able to adapt to the style of the Pl is risky.

[Fernando 6,743]

He needs a proper winger and a midfielder. Oscar and cuardrado are jokes

Lol he bought Cuadradro and didn't even play him.....

[Fernando 6,743]

i made a mistake of quoting "mrblueguy" who supposedly thinks that klopp (relegation zone in bundesliga) and simeone who cant win an away game if his life depended on it.

like u said, we lost a game we should not have and he should be critisized (though i put the majority of blame on the players). but any nincompoop who asks for a league cup and 5 points top of the table with a game hand, manager to be sacked is not worth the time and effort.

Great point but your leaving something out.

Simeone Atletico and klopp budget ain't the same as Chelsea.

If you should be comparing us then it should be to City pellegrini as we are in the same category.

And in that view Mourinho will have achieved exactly the same thing pellegrini did last season.

Carling cup, Premier League and last 16...

I'm laughing my ass off at these comments if wanting to sack Mourinho, yes he has made some mistakes this season and yes we've not been playing nice football the last few months but we just fucking won the Capitol Cup and the EPL is ours to lose.

[stroey 2,525]

Always been an admirer of Mou's defensive approach and counter attacking football. But at the current Chelsea, we're not even solid defensively.

Corners/Crosses:

Can you count how many we've conceded through crosses or corners lately?

Aston Villa 1-1 (cross)

Burnley 1-1 (corner)

1st leg PSG, 1-1 (cross)

+ 3-4 headed chances, thank Courtois for not conceding more.

Westham 0-1, thanks to Courtois and Sakho for not conceding.

2nd leg PSG, 2 goals through corners, Silva is 1m83 and many of ours are near 1m90. How could he have those 2 free headers?

We used to grind out 1-0/2-1 with good defending and especially in set pieces/crosses with big guys. What's the problem? Is it Cech, who normally organizes the defence? Now we have Terry to do that, could that be a problem?

I like Courtois, but if that's the problem, Mou should let Courtois organize the defence or recall Cech. We looked quite impressive in the 2-0 COC final btw and have many clean sheets with Cech this season, coincidence?

From potential Quadruple to Capital One Cup only be the end of the season is sackable offense to me. If we win the BPL though I would give him another year but he needs to learn from this mistake, or he will have to go in summer 2016.

[Azul 1,615]

The reason why we're leaking goals is because as soon as we get a goal we drop so deep that PSG actually end of having chances with 10 men. We need to put pressure instead so that we atleast get a second goal or that we can keep a cleansheet. You can't drop deep and expect the likes of Cavani, Lavezzi etc do nothing. The same tactic that lost us the games against Tottenham, Newcastle etc, lost us this game aswell. Shit has got to change or we this will happen next year in the CL again.

Don't be silly. The quadruple was never going to happen. I had a better chance ending up with Kelly Brook.

Who is supposed to take over after sacking Mou btw?

If someone like pellegrini can do the same as Mourinho while playing better with the same resources then I will say anyone better then pellegrini.

But not now since we are in course of winning the Premier League.

Next season if we regress then it will be time.

Because many people are forgetting the resources equation when comparing managers.

Give someone similar resources and might produce the same as we seen in city.

[Azul 1,615]

To those saying that Mou should be sacked just lol.. let's just hope he learns from his mistakes instead of losing hope.

would be amazing to see Simeone or Klopp as EPL managers

[Special Juan 28,864]

Throw off the fucking shackles from now until the end of the season and get at teams.

The thing is, no one has been 'good enough'. Ranieri, Grant, Scolari, Ancelotti, AVB, RDM, Benitez. There is no manager that is visibly superior to Mou, looking at the results that is. So you can sack Mou, but it will be the same for any manager that takes over. Unless you get lucky and get someone who delivers instant and great succes.

Look at Barca. After Pep, they went with Tito. Not good enough. Then Martino. Not good enough. Now Enrique. Not good enough.. no wait, there's been a revival so let's give him some more time. If he does not win the title or CL, he'll probably not be good enough either.

Even though I'm not his biggest fan, it would probably be for the best to stick with Mou for the next 4-5 years. Unless there's some freakish decline of course, that goes without saying.
