The Mourinho Thread

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

LOL and the same people here want managerial longevity!

Tough times really do show the character and support of some 'fans' of this club.

[MefiX19 1,092]

The whole Ivanovic thing is so sad that I even had a dream asking Mourinho why is he playing him.

loool

I will always support Chelsea even if we will get religated, but i'm not gonna support Mourinho when he plays Ivanovic, Fabregas, Costa and all others, when he doesn't change formations and still plays that 4-2-3-1 when it doesn't fit us, when he is predictible, when he doesn't rotate players, and doesn't use our one of the most talented young players in Europe from Chelsea academy.

We're on a bad run and people want José out? I'd rather all you fickle bastards go instead.

why are we on a bad run? is it because we had a couple of bad calls from ref?

or is it because our whole squad has been out of form?

or is it because we are integrating youth into the team who need time?

or is it simply because jose has simply persisted with iva and cesc time after time after time?

you give me one decent reason why iva should have started wba or palace or yesterday, and i will admit i am a fickle bastard.

wba - after getting raped by city. and goals which were straight forward his faults. he still started. we had bought baba. was it too early to play him? maybe. what about zouma? why not azpi-gc-jt-zouma. he did give zouma some appearances as a LB in pre-season right? our left back is anyways supposed to be a defensive position, then why not?

palace - everyone on here knew iva will get murdered against the likes of zaha/bolasie. why was he started. 2 weeks since baba had joined still not ready? so we paid 21mil pounds for a player who could not even fill in when we were having a defensive crisis? still does not matter. play aina if need be. why did iva start?

everton - seriously? baba plays for ghana and now is surprisingly "injured" or "not ready".

people might be fickle but atleast we have the best for chelsea's at heart, which is not something i can say for jose as of this moment.

and when we are on this, give me a reason why falcao plays every match but remy has not got a minute. or costa continues or cesc contiues.

Hmmm.

The thing is this has been happening for a calender year, it's not 5 games

His team selection and transfers have been borderline crazy.

His steadfast refusal to integrate any of our younger players has also not helped.

Then you have all the off-field antics

The guy since January is damaging Chelsea football club! That's who I support!

The absolute worst thing though is his refusal to admit he might be at fault - to me that is indefensible. He has a God complex and it will be his downfall and sadly the fortunes of my club are tied to his, so when he shits the bed - Chelsea suffer.

I'm pretty much done with him. He has until Weds night to prove he can turn this around, but sadly I expect more of the same...

and now matic says we deserved a draw. so basically, everyone in our dressing room thinks everything is fine. from jose to iva to matic. hmmmm.. delusions of grandeur going around. i guess these guys need to watch the game once to say how we got owned by everton. shameful behaciour from us.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

So basically like what AVB said before. I'll be the shit one if i have bad players.

Then that case a lot of manager can do good if we have good squad. We don't need him then!

In my opinion he'll come good, at least I hope. I'm just shocked at the way things are going.

Mourinho plays boring football compared to other managers but he always guaranteed victories, desire, passion from the players. And he did whatever he could to win even if he got rid of players who have fought for him. But he seems to fear ivanovic who has cost us so many goals this season (we're the worst in the league)

I don't see any signs of these positives he brings this season. I actually thought we'd come out against Everton, shut up shop with a low block and set out to not concede so that we can go from there. But Mourinho is looking different, almost as if he doesn't care about results because if he cares he'll make us defend deep so that we can salvage some points.

The football we played in the 2nd part of last season was acceptable because we were winning. But to play without creating proper chances, without any passing combinations that looks like we practiced attacking movement and we're loosing on top of it is unacceptable.

As a Chelsea fan he has my respect because of what he has done for us so he can be afforded more patience. But he has to either start winning with this boring football or get entertaining while playing youth.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

To play the kind of football we aspire to play, we need better fullbacks and more technical fullbacks à la Filipe Luis. Azpilicueta and Ivanovic ain't good enough for that kind of play. Anyone who saw United - Liverpool yesterday witnessed how Shaw and Darmian completely bossed the game. Our fullbacks do not play like that.

I hope Baba is given some real chances soon but still I can't get my head around the selling of Luis. A huge mistake not to play him and then selling him away because of it. Selling Bertrand is another mistake which should have not happened considering the lack of academy products in the squad. With an attacking minded coach Bertrand could have reached new highs if he was given a real chance to play with Hazard, Matic and the co.

As to the other transfers under Jose, only selling KdB seems to be a mistake of epic proportions that will come back to haunt us. For the money received, selling Schurrle, Luiz, Mata and Lukaku were all right decisions.

So if we were to get a yet another manager, who would it be? Someone who is ready to bring up our youth (Musonda, Solanke, Loftus-Cheek) and give chances to squad players when the first team isn't performing. The term first team shouldn't exist at this level as the our bench should be more the way it was during the 13/14 season. But you also need to play the players and not just leave them rotting on the bench whilst playing your favourites. The new manager should be more attacking one as our squad is clearly built for that tikitaka but still lacks few players like better fullbacks, new centreback (Stones) and a new creative midfielder to fully utilize that system. The new manager should have a record of playing with high-intensity and high-movement football in the attacking third rather than prioritising the defensive movement. Many times in the attacking third our players are literally static but as soon as we lose the ball all players start running around like rabid dogs.

So who could be the new manager? I don't know. We still lack few players to play the football we want to play and changing manager right now might not be the answer. We might have to sign a nobody and hope he delivers.

Oh come on! Every football fan knows the kind of character he is so all this shouldn't be a surprise. Its sad to see to people forget the good things he has done for us and blame him for every petty thing. No one likes to see their team lose but there still needs to be a level of support to be shown.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Take Ivanovic out the team and we're in the Top half this season. Forget the shit football, his team selection is what pisses me off the most. It's absolutely disgraceful. You simply cannot keep picking your favourites, it undermines the players putting in hard work on the training ground.

I'm not going to revise history & pretend he's a bad manager because of this horrendous run but his cockiness (no longer in a good way), wrath & favouritism is just absolutely shocking. It's only increasingly worsened over the years.

[Azul 1,615]

To those who call other fans ''fickle'' atleast we have the balls to say what's real. I support Chelsea that does not mean that I should blindly support every decision Jose makes. I am a big Jose fan by the way but the decisions he makes is mindboggling at times. He clearly has favourites, Ivanovic is a huge example. He called out Schurrle when he didn't properly defend against City and he also called out Hazard when he did not defend properly against Atletico. When Ivanovic A DEFENDER does not properly defend game after game Jose does not say shit. He also let's us play negative boring football on top of this and his behaviour in the press and the whole Eva saga is also embarrassing.

I'm beginning to think that Jose lost his love for football, he always moans and looks grumpy etc. I hope he goes back to being the best manager in the world but if this keeps going on who wouldn't want him to leave?

I've been saying it for ages now..

There's no other top team playing with such fullbacks, this limits us in sooo many ways.

Just look at Marcelo, Carvajal, Alba, Alaba ...

[Roquila 1,335]

Well, since Alex can call us all Fickle Bastards because we wan't Mourinho out then i'm calling everyone who doesn't want him out a Cunt.

[Leif 6,006]

still I can't get my head around the selling of Luis.

well you know Mourinho, you have to be 100% committed to the cause. he probably caught Luis watching an Atletico Madrid game, the scum

Fickle cunt?

[manpe 10,861]

What happened to Remy? Did he fight with Mourinho or something? He's been on the bench for all 5 games this season and he hasn't played a single minute

Mourinho choose Falcao over Remy, because he is one of his favorites, the same shit goes to Iva, Fab, Hazard, Costa.

Mourinho forgot what Remy did last year, when he scored alot important goals, that gave us 3 points. IMO if not Remy and Hazard we would lost our title last year.

This is flabbergasting to say the least. At the end of last season Jose spoke highly of Remy, saying he deserved to play more and it was his mistake not to give him more game time. Now he signed a past-it Monaco and Man Utd reject who has been injured and in abysmal form for past few years and plays him over the striker whose goals helped us massively to win the championship last term.

There is not even a hint of meritocracy in Jose's selections anymore, not even a faint smell. Demba Ba was right.

[J.F. 1,484]

I don't know what people finding special in him! ok for 2 years, but what else?

2 CL in 12 years with team like RM and chelsea!

Can you please stop posting bullshit like this?

Ferguson won 2 Champions League with Mancheste United, and he was in charge for 27 years. Also this coming from a guy who want Ranieri or Di Matteo to replace Mourinho is even funnier, so next time when u want to write something "smart", please, think twice!

For the first time we need to show that we're not plastic club, board need to stick with Mourinho during this period, resolve problem ASAP, sacking isn't the option, because this can happen with every manager and then want Sack another manager? That's stupid. We need to make smart decisions and finally have stability with our manager, if we continue to sack managers after every bad run then only Hodgson will be available.

[laura90 556]

The worst thing about Mourinho is his favouritism of certain players. That's why he loses dressing room sooner or later. Second is his lack of imagination regarding to team selections and attacking style combined with solid defense. I'm not among disappointed on here. I saw this coming and went trough disappointment long time ago, precisely when he sold Mata and replaced him with Salah.

I don't think this situation is entirely his fault. Lack of transfer budget and 'ignoring' Jose's wishes and getting 'second rate' players instead is big part of the problem. This transfer 'inactivity' may be reacton to Jose's transfer failures (he sold better players to get worse ones in 80% cases) which left our squad weakened instead of stronger. Or maybe it is result of limited funds. We are about to build new stadium, we are likely to face restricted transfer budgets which may lead to underwhelming results in the near future.

I'm not sure we will be better of without him. He is more than capable to avoid relegation. Maybe even get top four because Man Utd, Liverpool and Tottenham are still shit. I don't think we would be looking like winning trophies with someone else. Just far less dramatic.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Little warming thing is that they don't have a week to prepare so there'll be no shit talking about 'positive reaction' from the players and how they worked the best ever !

One thing I noticed, isn't that Mourinho went more emotional ? I mean, when he praises his team after Chelsea - Liverpool (1:0 in COC semi-final) through the roof even though, let's face it, performance-wise it was average, we conceded several chances to them and scored only from set-piece, but Mourinho was so full of praise of the team like we smashed and outplayed them. When we win against any semi-decent opponent for Mourinho, at least what he says, is that everything is all right. He doesn't analyse performances anymore ? WTF ? He truly bielieves that they are really that good (even though they're not) because they're champions ?

Also he is super autocratic man, when he says that decision about team selection and tactics, it's not his decision but the whole team, assistans, analytics, well I don't believe it, it seems that it's 100% he makes decision and how dare anyone can have diffrent opinion ? His assistans seems scared of him. Don't believe there's much of discussion there.

You need diffrent perspectives to see things but it seems assistans just follow the leader.
