The Mourinho Thread

Good read.

Yeah i definitely saw Jose puking a few times : when Schurrle scored against Burnley, the tiki taka goal at Palace, and the 5-3 win over Everton.

The whole first half of the season was great in terms of the football we played.

That's the biggest advantage we supporters of Chelsea should have : hybrid.

We are willing to see our team dominate England and join the BRB as the top 4 clubs in the world, but we don't care if at times we need to concentrate more stoping the opponents if that's what wins us titles.

If Luis isn't playing after we've won the PL I might actually lose it.

Winning the league now would be a perfect time to reacclimatise Azpi to RB.

I'd like to see

Cech

Azpi Zouma Terry/Ivanovic Luis

Ake RLC

Cuadrado Oscar Willian

Solanke

Would be fantastic, allowing our key midfielders much deserved rest and giving our youth some minutes, except for Liverpool, full strength lineup just for them please.

Though I wouldn't be averse to Jose going for max points.

seems like he is back to the "happy one"... somewhere in between, he had just become the grumpy one...

I reckon one youngster a game will play if we secure the title before day 38 (I still don't like taking anything for granted) but that will be it, we will want to secure as many point's as possible and won't want to end the season on a whimper.

Mourinho to Wenger: If defending was easy, you wouldn't lose 3-1 to Monaco

Mourinho saying truths every day. I love his approach regarding the Voyeur.

He's absolutely spot on. At historically huge clubs like real,Barca,Bayern, simply winning trophies isn't enough, style of play and the entertainment value matters alot as well. If our aim is to reach the level of these clubs one day then parking the bus football and mentality has to go, it's that simple.

I like how they mention every club except ours that wont except A.Madrids type of football, thats exactly why none of them have won anything this year. Big clubs then they say Liverpool Lol. Great football then they say the Manchester Clubs. Typical bias by Sky.

As long as there is allowance for such football we will always revert to this as fear/pressure turns up.

And so far, reading, listening, there's allowance for this and it's even APPRECIATED by some.

Also reading Mourinho words from yesterday, he said that we play in 'strategic way' and not 'artistic way' because of Cesc, Matic and Diego injuries/suspensions while we're by far in the best position in terms of missing the players in the last 3 seasons.

That's just future confirmation that Jose, as things stand now, is always going to change to strategic style as soon as situation won't be very comfortable.

About Jamie Carragher words, I think he's very spot on when says that if you play that style you simply have to win because there's nothing in there besides. If you don't win, there's ground burned to death and that emptiness feeling, like if there will always be dark. The feeling without looking forward about great times that's are surely ahead once this whole thing click.

That's because it is called quick fixes, they have to work quick and effective but surely you can't rely on this more than few seasons.

He also said he wants to start next season like how they started this season, with dominant and attractive football. The thing is, he was in quick adapting to the situation and was not so stubborn to keep on playing the same style without the right players. (Cesc and Diego injured/suspended)

If you're a chef in a kitchen during a cooking competition of 30 minutes, and you see the salt (Cesc) and pepper (Diego) are overdue , would you be stubborn and continue to make that salt and pepper chicken dish, (Rodgers, Wenger) or would you adapt to the situation and make other dishes with the ingedrients you have left? (Mourinho) That's for me, the difference between a normal manager and a brilliant manager.

That's the first time I've seen a food-Mourinho analogy. briilliant.

First it was Rodgers and now it's Wenger. Sometimes you just wonder if managers are taking the piss or just being plain ignorant when they say 'defending is easy'.

In Wenger's case, it's even worse coming from him when his team conceded 6 at the Bridge, 6 at City, 5 at Liverpool and 8 at United.
