The Mourinho Thread

The manager is stubborn and plays favorites. The smart players (Kdb, Schurrle etc) realize this and leave instead of wasting precious years of their career. Lol @ selling KDB and getting Cuadrado. I take it that Cuadrado is happy to fight for his position ? How is that turning out though ?

Just because Mourinho is a genius, doesn't mean that he gets it right all the time.

But

I tottaly understand what you are saying.

The Curadrado thing is an absolute joke and I reckon it was the board who purchased that joker.

It is not just Quadrado. Ivanovic has been done since last season when people started noticing that all our goals were being conceded down the right side. However, Mourinho refused to drop him. We let Luis go who should be playing for us in Ivanovic's place.

What I dont understand with Mourinho and this board is every year we have some deadwood players who we keep giving opportunity to although we know nothing good is going to come of it. Willian should not be playing for us, just as Kalou and Mikel should have been dropped long before they actually were. Instead we have talented youngsters who languish on the bench whom our manager will never play.

I think some of you guys should apply for the job, because the decisions which we have to make seem pretty simple...
Buy a new full-back, bench Ivanovic.
Buy a new central defender and bench Cahill, or give Zouma more playing time. Cahill isn't up for the job anymore, we need fresh blood!
Now it's Brane, last time i checked it was Azpilicueta, next time maybe Cahill?
Ahh even better, Eden Hazard, why? Because he is "fat", unselfish and has become a money-grabbing piece of ****
and doesn't love Chelsea anymore....
Football is a TEAM sport, but it's easier to find one scapegoat, i see.

Buy a new right winger, because Willian isn't effective as someone like Reus.

Ancelotti would have welcomed Ramires anytime at Real Madrid, but Ramires knows nothing, because there are a lot of football genius around here. We should ask our Daddy to buy as a new toy, maybe the Eiffel tower? The kids just wanna have fun....

Against Swansea, instead of Ramires, Zouma came in, but that wasn't the right call either, almost always moaning is the way to go!

Then we should play like Brendan Rodgers did against Chelsea, try to dominate and play the high defensive line, Avb all over again.
That time, we truly considered us invincible.
Gerrard: "“That game against Chelsea, with the slip, our tactical approach was probably inexperienced for the whole game - going out to try and blow Chelsea away."

I think that's the best strategy, do we have an agreement?

In the modern era it's very difficult for some people to show respect.
Like Mourinho said, everyone is now a football manager and knows best.

Mourinho won the league, but it isn't an achievement anymore, because the competitors weren't up for it, doesn't count, simple as that.

In the last couple of months i wasn't so happy either, i cried a lot for the Eiffel tower or some youth,
but now the season has started we should get behind the team and the manager.
Mourinho has shown more than once, that he is still one of the best coaches in the world, he instructs Ivanovic to play that way,
sometimes he has to be more defensive, remember the game against Arsenal/Sanchez? He kept him quiet, till it was over!

This isn't Fifa where you take only some numbers into consideration, you have to look at the whole package.
We are the Champions, we are the team to beat, a tie against Swansea isn't the end of the world, we will bounce back!

The approach against City will be different, a complete new game.
But if you guys decide, Mourinho isn't trustworthy or has lost his touch, because a league title and poor results in pre-season are the worst, maybe it's time for Abracadabra to interfere...but that would be a very sad day for me....

Not buying this. Last season we had quick, proactive defenders in Zouma, Luis and Azpi, which could've allowed us to make a backbone of Luis - Terry - Zouma - Azpi. How often did we actually see this? Rarely if ever.

He's certainly had the options to play a quicker, more proactive back line but he refused to.

True but for some reason he loves his slow backline. He probably sees them as the leaders that the team needs. We seriously need more one on one defenders (like Carvalho used to do for us, and azpi now) that don't need the bus to be parked for them to have a good game.

I find it strange that we can slag some players off that wont settle for being a team player and fight for his place instead of them wanting to be a definite starter yet others we say is totally understandable and kiss their arses and wish them luck so they can help the team I hate most in the world.

As for Mou and our defence it does my head in. He seems to have this blind faith and love of old defenders right now. I understand having a blance of young and experience but when other teams can openly see that our biggest weakness for them to attack is Bane/Cahill (like today) then just imagine what a better team is going to do. Bane had a new one ripped for him today and its not going to be pretty.

Its sad to see because as a man I imagine him to be as good for the lads as Drogs was. But I think as a player I dont understand why Mou keeps him.

In all fairness, from my view Cahill was easily the best defender on the pitch yday. Iva is getting too slow now, I'd prefer Aina or even Zouma play there to give some pace while we wait for a true RB.

Any comments from Mourinho on this apparent red card syndrome? It seems seeing a player leaving the pitch, whether playing with ten men or even facing ten men, causes great distraught to our team.

I know receiving a red card is a pain and all, but it shouldn't be a death sentence.

what's the point of coming to a forum if it's not to vent your frustration on common issues?

yes I fucking hate ivanovic for being such a big headed cunt .. and I wish somebody slaps Jose in the face if that's what it takes to wake him the fuck up and see the RB needs fixing

Not really sure how I feel about playing Happy in diff positions around defence Not for him or us. I know Mou likes Swiss army knife type players that are flexible enough to play wherever needed but I'm not a Jack of all trades kinda guy normally. These guys train for 1 position most of their lives so using them outside that role can only confuse them.

But at the same time I would rather the lad play than be wasted on the bench. IMHO if we dont start using him when he sees hes better than 2 of our back 4 I think he will be tempted to leave.

Its a shame to have such a great young talent unused. I know we got 3 lads on 1 year renewables so hopefully like Wenger they wont be round long but I expect more from Mou the defence maestro. With Chelsea renown for a great defence why cant he see the Bane/Cahill hole?

In some ways it will improve him as a player as it hones various qualities such as stamina and passing ability. Obviously medium term he belongs at CB but short term getting in the team should be a priority.

After one draw the hate squad is out again. Im not even going to come on to this site when we lose.

How about a draw? May not be seeing alot of you this season then IF things stay like it is now.

None of us like knocking any of the lads but theres times when you just cant blow smoke up their arses and say what you really feel.

Its just so confusing to see what a mess we are in general without picking on individuals and coming from a winning season to a shambles hurts!

So if you want to look at the side thru rose tinted glasses thats your option and Im not telling you not to but please give others their own opinions if they dont agree with yours. Differences makes the world go round.

i had a strange thought last night that Jose is not buying anyone because of his massive ego and wanting to prove that he can do it again with the same team. i know its prob a million miles from the truth but it just crossed my mind. i dont see why we are not going in for players we need, we got the money to do so and stay in FFP
