The Mourinho Thread

[Fernando 6,453]

It seems his decision to axe few players paid off. He is the best coach for this club and the support that he received from supporters was really great.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. One day does not makes a trend.

Needs to be sustain in the coming games.

But we are going in right direction.

Small steps...

Forget about this weekend. Tonight was great, and for the first time this season, we have something great to celebrate.

Tomorrow we turn to Arsenal, but for the rest of the day, be happy most was well.

Looks like those who hate Mourinho are just the vocal minority. Please Jose please dont play Ivanovic again.

[Milan 17,853]

I hope he learnt today - some players deserve to play, some to be benched. Please Jose tell me you learnt a lesson today.

[Fernando 6,453]

Sure but I invite u to enjoy this moment, why not? 3 points, clean sheet, good performance, fans support the manager.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

My analysis is based on a series of games not just one.

I love Mou so much and it would break my heart if he leaves,but he should leave Chelsea if Mou still does not want to play the players who actually deliver on the pitch.

Iva does not deliver.So give Baba,who really is a big talent,his chance.RLC delivered and Mou should give him more chances.Not Mikel.he should give it to RLC because showed how much potential he has.

So glad to hear Mourinho chants today, that man deserves it. Good to see our greatest ever manager getting the respect he deserves. All the fickle fans on here, shame on you!

This!

He's one of us! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

This is exacty what I wanted from him. He dropped Ivanovic and he changed things up. Let's hope this continues vs Arsenal.

I don't think people are fickle

I think they're Frustrated

Today we changed the personnel and got a much better team - even missing a pen didn't make their heads drop!

This was a joy to watch, some heart, desire and commitment.

Now every negative Mourinho post I have seen - has been about him not changing players - he did and it worked.

So I would potentially reclassify 'fickle' as 'correctly frustrated'

Class from all the supporters at the Bridge chanting Mourinho's name. You could see it meant a lot to him.

Come on Chelsea. Our season starts now.

Proper support!

Sticking by Jose through this time is a must. We owe him that much!

Because it's only one step in this recovery process (if you can call it that). It means nothing if everything goes BS again on Saturday.

To the Chief Superintendent Fulham Police Station, Heckfield Place, London SW6, 5NL.

Dear Sir,

I would like to report a suspected identity theft. There's a young chap who seems to be masquerading as Eden Hazard. This person shows on occasion that he's really Eden but since his Summer holiday he's like a changed man. His demeanor is totally different and his confidence appears to have gone. But more worrying is he's started to take penalties like his wearing winkle pickers and he's aiming for someone in the top tier of the Shed.

Yours Reverend R. Slicker

What the supporters were singing at the Bridge. All that matters.

What HAPPENS on the PITCH is what really matters.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

What HAPPENS on the PITCH is what really matters.

We won and he made several changes? Steps in right direction, and it shows majority of the fans are right behind him.

[Barbara 15,149]

Two quiet threads today... post match and this one.

I read people saying we would barely scrap a result today prior to the match. He does many changes, we win comfortably and the posts still deviate. What matters is Arsenal and Macabbi was awful.

I have doubts Iva will be left out of the team though. Baba didn't look comfortable enough defending against such awful team. I think we'll have to endure Iva simply because now we lack someone decent enough to replace him *sighs*

if he knew what TC is, he'd say they don't read papers or TC

[Kezza 1,965]

This is exacty what I wanted from him. He dropped Ivanovic and he changed things up. Let's hope this continues vs Arsenal.

I don't know if he dropped him as much as he did rest him. We'll see what happens on Saturday.
