didierforever 7,349 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Don't mistake me for one of the people who thinks the sun shines out of Mourinho's arse.But blaming him when the players are performing absolutely abysmally is ridiculous, in my opinion. I'm just amazed there are people on here who want him to leave.the players are performing abysmally cos they have lost the motivation to play. what is cesc's motivation. do you remember his expression after the palace game when we won the PL? it was as if he had attained nirvana. you could see what it meant to him. after reaching that level, players need to be re-motivated. how exactly has jose gone on to do that? by playing them match after match irrespective of how poor they have been.iva has been dreadful. sometimes, a player out of form adn short on confidence just needs to be given a break. why the hell is iva playing 90 minutes of every game?what should be remy's motivation when he takes the pitch next time? he knows irrespective of how he performs, he is going to be dropped even if costa is half fit.all of this is on one man and one man only. like i asked before, i simply want one reason for my questions. the only actual reason seems to be favouritism. jose is willing to fuck up the club's chances of winning the match, so that his favourites can play. i am sorry, but if there is another half logical reason for all of this, i will accept it. but i cant think of any. hence people want him gone. and what is this new thing that he has started of us deserving better? is he joking? does he think all of are idiots? we deserved a loss against everton and palace. we deserved much worse than a 3-0 against city. and today iva and matic sing the same song. what exactly is going on down there?

manpe 10,861 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 And about Torres (manpe this is my response to you aswell so you don't think I'm ignoring you) he was holding us back loads, he was useless unless he scored and that was once in 5 and a half games, a 33 year old Eto'o was a breath of fresh air in comparison. I agree and I wasn't even arguing that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Honestly I believe dropping Iva will improve our defence, with the way he's playing it would be hard not too , but it would only take us so far.We wouldn't concede 12 goals in 5 games if the other three in the defence were on point, no matter how bad Iva was playing, Terry and Cahill have been average at best, awful at worse, Zouma has been showing inexperience lately and even Cesar is starting to lose 1 on 1 battles which is unheard off, dropping Iva will be a start,but we got a lotof work to do on this back four.And about Torres (manpe this is my response to you aswell so you don't think I'm ignoring you) he was holding us back loads, he was useless unless he scored and that was once in 5 and a half games, a 33 year old Eto'o was a breath of fresh air in comparison.i beg to differ. i just cant see us having half the problems we have been having with iva. if azpi is playing as RB, i dont think we concede half the goals we have conceded. both swansea goals, 2 against city, both wba goals, 2 goals yesterday and both palace goals. all of them involved iva straight.yes torres was fucking us up. hence we were struglling to get 4th. we became a europa league level team. i think my point stands. u cant have a fullback standing 6 yards off the winger and letting him cross the ball. as and when he wants to. u cant have a full back getting skiined multiple times a game. u cant have a CM like cesc protecting a FB like iva.

sutro 1,026 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We're on a bad run and people want José out? I'd rather all you fickle bastards go instead. On a bad run? really?Its much deeper than just bad run,what about his favourite players playing ( Iva, cesc, matic, Hazard)like crap over and over again while others dont get any decent chance???

Popular Post! ZOS 580 Posted September 13, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well Mourinho, for one, was not able to sign his number 1 targets in the summer. We were after John Stones and Abdennour as our primary targets in the transfer windows as full backs. We had to settle down signing second tier players like Papy Djilobodji. Mourinho has been a victim of the transfer window, not working for him. Yes I agree, his love for Iva is actually getting annoying but who else is he going to play? Baba Rahman? Unproven still.Listen, every manager has these moments where nothing is working out. It happened with Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti, Hiddink, you name it. Mourinho should not be sacked for the form of our attacking players like Hazard or Cesc. Only Pedro has been decent. The fans need to work closely with Jose, and put faith in him. Listen, this man has won us 3 titles of the 4 PL titles we've won. This man is Chelsea, and it's disgusting to see fickle fans treat him like this. We Chelsea fans need to learn from Dortmund fans. They were in relegation zone for 2 months under Klopp but still trusted him. As Mourinho said today, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34233979NOBODY is better than him, in terms of managing Chelsea. He knows best and I have faith in him still. Name me ONE manager that can take over Chelsea tomorrow and bring success. No one would. Actually, what would be funny is if we win the Champions League or FA cup this year, fickle fans will be back celebrating Mourinho. 1. I did not say he should be sacked. It has always been my stand that only Pep could replace him but the catalan hates us for some reason. But he deserves the lion share of the blame for this mess.He is responsible for the late start to the pre-season preparation (he could have done something about it).He is responsible for playing Ivanovic over and over regardless of his poor performance (BTW, yeserday, he played Mikel to cover Iva's big ass)He is responsible for picking up a fight with the medics. That was childish and stupid. He let the club downHe is responsible for not taking responsibililiy. I mean, how arrogant is this guy? "My players deserve better... I am still the man ... every thing is going against us" ..what a fucking cunt. We all laugh and enjoy him being a prick to everybody else thinking he's just playing mind games and its all part of his plan ... but now its all clear, he is arrogant to the bone.2. I agree the board fucked us all, they deserve to be sacked, all of them. They messed up this one chance to assert Chelsea's dominance over the EPL for the coming years3. Who else is he going to play at RB? ... anybody.., himself, his wife. Are you this much in love with the guy, defending him over Ivanovic?4. Yeah other great managers also have had poor run of performance.They also deserve to be blame by their respective fansThey don't blame everybody else for their own mistake. And if they do, they are also arseholes5. I know what Jose means to the club and I don't want him gone. But no one can help it he himself wants to be sacked. What in hell is he doing? Why persist with Iva and Terry? Why can't he just shut up after matches? Why be so arrogant? Let Steve or Faria take care of the media for a while, ffs6. About being fickle and all that .. listen, I come here to express my emotion. That's all. None of things being sayed affects the club one bit. As far as I'm concerned every body here wants the best for Chelsea in his/her own way.P.S: sorry for the typos and grammer cheers bluezola25, zolayes, Mana and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I agree and I wasn't even arguing that point. My point was even if Ivan was playing like a reformed Bosingwa, we still wouldn't be conceding 12 goals in 5 games if the other defenders were playing to even half of their ability.

zolayes 14,489 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 when it was suggested that we needed MORE cover for the back 4 . in case of injuries or suspensions or lack of form ,, it was said 6 was enough .now it seems we must rely on 6 at the most.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I dont understand why he plays Iva when there is Baba. I dont understand why he didnt play Remy once this season. I dont understand how the WHOLE team is underperforming.These are all Mou faults and he needs to fix them. If there is a player or two or three playing bad, they are in bad form, if whole team is playing bad, its fault of manager because he cant motivate players.One thing I also dont understand is why he keeps with such stupid after match answers like ''we deserved better, they were lucky, blah blah''. We suck and thats it.He needs to put it together, certainly should not be sacked but if things dont change until may, thats it.We havent shown the smallest sign of improvement since october 2014. Our attack has no connection, even our defense is absolute shit right now, despite Mou knows how to make his team good in defense. Actualy we play worst football and results in years, despite having such team, with players in prime or getting there. Take a look at BVB what a change of manager can bring, I hope Mou solves this, but he is on thin ice. Its not bad luck or good game with no results. Its just shit performance after shit performance.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 5. I know what Jose means to the club and I don't want him gone. But no one can help it he himself wants to be sacked. What in hell is he doing?Lol, brilliant !Lots of funny stuff here and some quality posts, keep it going through tough times.Mou says that we're unlucky, wait what ? That thing just starred me in the face. Wasn't he the last person ever who would blame luck ? Over the years he said that he doesn't believe in luck in football just 'unpredictability' of the game which he wants diminish to minimum by preparing team the best way for everything. That's his managerial blueprint. Something is going wrong here when he is more emotional (talking about things like luck, picking underperforming 'his' champions) and less pragmatic.

Blue Armour 4,449 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Problem is, even if we sack him, he FUCKED our squad too much. He sold Mata,KDB,Luiz,Luis,Schurrle and Cech. Our squad is too fucked up and he is the only reason. Selling those players because they didn't fit his philosophy was reasonable when he sold them but now when we have a larger picture to look at it just looks dumb. We could use all of these players now because most of our starting XI is out of form but we have no choice. Drop Hazard for Moses? Cesc for Mikel ? Our squad is buttfucked. The next manager that'll come in will have a lot of work to do. Thank you Mourinho for last year but the shit you bring with you is not worth it.Mourinho may be responsible for a lot of problems with our play and starting 11, but I disagree with the fact that he just 'fucked up' the squad.Given his way, I'm pretty sure he would have held onto ALL those players you mentioned even if it was just to keep them as bench players.The limited squad is down to the club. This isn't 2009 anymore when we could have players like Essien, Ballack, Deco, Belleti, Carvalho, or Bosingwa come off the bench to make a difference.Mata and Luiz were sold to balance the books, and bring in key players like Fabregas and Costa, who did their job last season. KDB and Cech wanted to leave because they wouldn't be happy on the bench. Filipe Luis leaving was down to poor rotation, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB and Cech wanted to leave because they wouldn't be happy on the bench. Filipe Luis leaving was down to poor rotation, I agree.most of those players left because they wanted, not because we asked them to (the list in the post you quoted).Some of them didn't fit the plan, as much as people love Mata, we had huge issues playing with him, just like we have huge issues in our midfield right now.The KdB saga have been well reported throughout the whole thing and even Wolfsburg manager - when Kevin was at his best in the club - said that Kevin is the kind of player that works well when things work the way he wants them to work, when he's got the power. Sorry, I don't want a player like that in my team, even if he's Messi or Ronaldo.All others left because they were rightfully benched for better players - except Luís. I continue to believe that's been the only mistake Mourinho's done with players leading them to leave the team and I think he's very close to lead Remy to do the same, which would account as another mistake.The 'I told so' party looks happy now - some of them - which is obnoxious as hell. Sorry, but they haven't told anything so. The team is completely off track right now, there might be some dressing room problem but fact remains all of those players except the keepers haven't showed up. They aren't performing and they don't look like trying hard to change it. did they predict Hazard to play shit? Cesc to play shit? Azpilicueta to lose his solidness? Matic to look shaky?It's so easy to say 'We've been saying since January how bad the team is' and since the end of January - when City had the same amount of points as us we won a EPL title. Things look terrible now, it's a really bad moment and I think our EPL season is already compromised and we may not play UCL the following season, but am I to suppose the 'I told so' party also predicted Azpilicueta, Matic, Hazard, JT - which were our most solid players to be playing so bad now? Or will they say that when the rest is so bad there's nothing they can do? If I were to mention their individual mistakes in just five matches this post would be much longer. Yes, Cesc had a bad patch, but wasn't the 'I told so' party convinced it was because he can't perform in second halves of seasons? When some people pointed other things around they came barking this half-arsed excused as if it was gospel. Well, why aren't they saying it now? Oh because it's now the first half of the season, so they decided to point out what few had refused to acknowledge: he's slow and doesn't offer the physicality in the midfield. It worked for many months, it could work again just like that. The thing is the system isn't working, no player is working, the manager isn't working, even the computer isn't working. It's a collective things (people) gone wrong thing and then we're in this form. But let's replace Cesc doesn't play in the second half for a new more fitting one: José Mourinho doesn't stand longer than 2 seasons, it's a 3-season curse (or inability, you decide the term).Sorry, many points are valid, but there's no much self-entitlement, and big egos going on (which is SOOOOOO amusing when said people are slamming mourinho for having a big ego) that is hard to take some people seriously.Also, if we're out of UCL for a season, if we don't win bullocks this season, it won't be the first, second or even tenth time in the history of this club. It's not the end of the world. We rose to the world's football elite very quickly and even if we momentarily fall off of it, it won't be the end of the world either. We can just easily climbed it up again. Ask anyone 12 years ago if they believed our rising to football elite would be as fast as it had been and they would laugh hard in your face and call you delusional. If we did it once, I don't see why we couldn't do it again from a much better 'starting' point right now, have things gone to the worst.The overreaction is still overboard by how far some people are taking this. And if by losing the football elite badge would mean losing some sort of fans, I'm all for it and I'll embrace it with all my heart. With quantity there's always a drop in quality, so I wouldn't mind that at all.Jose is making a lot of mistakes, he still has my support and it's his mess to fix. If he notices he can't fix it, he should be the one to step down. The players are so poor right now, that's almost second hand embarrassment, it's also their mess to fix and if they can't find it within themselves the right motivation to play and defend this shirt as they should (and as they have been doing) they can also write down their transfer request. All of them will go away at some point, but Chelsea will stay, even if it's not at the top and while I won't be too happy about it, I won't love the club any less. But I don't believe what's happening right now jeopardizes what we've accomplished at all. We may take a setback, but we'll be at the top again soon after it, if it even happens in the first place. So, the overreaction is really unnecessary. It has happened with the biggest historical teams in the world, what made people believe we were to be immune to that? And most of them came to the top again... BlueLion., SinineUltra, Muzchap and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Tel Aviv, Arsenal, Walsall and Newcastle are our next four games.Hopefully we will win on Wednesday and I think we will beat Arsenal purely due to the mental block they have when facing us, Walsall we should win and Newcastle will be tough but law of averages owe us one up there.If we can win these four which is defiantly doable then at least some form of order will be restored.

They got a win over us and things have only gotten worse for us. I think we'll lose this.Walsall: Is a should win, but if we run out a mainly sub/reserve team, I could see them playing up, us playing down and them shocking us. It's not like it hasn't happened to us before.Newcastle: I'm always worried about playing up there and count it as at least a draw.No doubt, this is an important run of matches, with a combination of a quality team, two teams we "should" beat, and a team that is tricky.
