The Mourinho Thread

[Essien19 1,415]

Champion of England who can't even win against Newcastle which is one of few worst trams in the league right know.

They lost some games and played poor football, but does that mean, they will continue to do so till the very end?

I don't think so, today they played well, fought back and scored good goals! Fairplay to them!

In the past some managers had piss poor starts, but they could redeem themselves and in the end, their position wasn't that poor.

The league is competitive and after the glorious crowning some guys decreased rapidly, but they can fuck back!

Football is a special business, a few months ago we won the league, now some fans are so nervous, they would like to pull the plug after ~2 months,

that really amazes me, but i have to live with that, for me that's short term and limited vision, but who am i to make such claims...

I mean.. It was his subs that saved this game

The problem is not tht we don't get result, but theres alot more, i wrote few pints go back in few pages and you will see it.

Those wanting Klopp in, are being very contradictory here. We are wanting the best manager in the world out because of inconsistency but we are wanting another inconsistent manager to take over? Shit makes no sense.

I personally will never succumb to this best manager argument, even if Mou is the best manager it doesn't mean he is the best manager for Chelsea. The correct thinking is what manager is best fit for Chelsea, not which manager accomplished the most.

Barca won a treble with Luis Enrique, not a good manager for Roma. But great manager for Barca because of his personality and understanding of Barcelona.

No question it is a better approach, a Ferrari is an amazing car. But it doesn't mean it is the best car if you need it for a long commute to work

This club needs a progressive manager. one that takes pride in the presentation and performance of his team aswell as result, One that is proactive i.e identifies tactical and technical issues and nips them in the bud, One that reacts and responds well tactically during the game, one that isn't afraid to play youngsters and reward good performances accordingly, one that shows no favoritism and is only worried about the overall progression of the team. A good personality that will help put a the negative image associated with the club is a bonus .

Any manager that fits some or all of these criteria is most welcome. personally i'm done with Mourinho. He's taken us as far as he can.

I used to believe this is most people wanted for the club.

But the cult of Mourinho is too strong. Look at the Eva thread. You have people in there insulting her for doing her job and thanking people on social media, calling her 'just a doctor' etc trying to justify Mourinho's behaviour and why we shouldn't care.

Honestly, I'm just sick and tired of the football. I HATE the way we play. It is genuinely shit.

Those expecting that sacking the manager will bring about a revival in our fortunes just like seasons past, better think twice.

There is a serious lack of leadership on the pitch at this point, and is one of the main reasons why our team performed in a differently in the two halves of today's game.

Lampard, Cole, left,followed by Drogba, Cech, and the only other leader remaining in the squad doesn't have a secure spot in the starting 11.

Its not like 2012, when the squad could pretty much take care of itself regardless of who was managing it.

atleast people can change their chanting from "boring boring chelsea" to "shitty shitty chelsea".

totally agree!

Nahh. PSG, Juve, Inter.

Let's say Mourinho gets the sack. City would go for him in the summer, I'm sure. Pellegrini isn't staying there for 10 years.

Utd would go for him if he's available after Van Gaal retires or if he gets sacked.

Perez still loves him although I don't think Real and Mourinho is a good fit. But they've ran out of manager options. Benitez had a decent spell at Napoli that ended very poorly and he still got the job.

Mourinho has excellent timing. He usually steps in at the right time, with actual possiblities of winning.

He won't go back to Italy. I remember he said he hated his time there; he loved Inter but hated the culture of football.

What really does baffle me the most is the lack of change in every aspect. It's like Mourinho and his staffs just spend hours analyzing our matches and at the end they all reach the same conclusion "Everything looks fine, no need to change anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it" "Ivanovic, fabregas it is" "The same unimaginative football it is"

Some weeks I'm convinced they (jose and his staffs) just sit on their asses doing nothing and other weeks I'm inclined to believe they genuinely have no clue on how to stop the bad performances and get us playing decent football.

yeah.... like they analyzing nothing every week... 0 changes... weird...

Everyone in the world, may dislike Mourinho's antics but Arsenal, Liverpool, United, City fans would take Mourinho in a heartbeat. Other team fans may dislike Mourinho as someone working for Chelsea, their rivals, but everyone in the world knows Mourinho is the best manager in the world. You don't seem too knowledgeable about football.

There's no way that Gooners or Scousers would accept Mourinho. He's not looking like the best manager in the world at the moment is he. He's under severe pressure and Porto could be a pivotal game.

[blues.bridge 340]

I can not wait that jose is fired, today we don't have lose for luck, very very luck.

No one storyline in the game, we have scored twice: first for a big shoot, second is been random!

[nadavTKL 1,787]

there is more than one?

I mean, what does it mean that a manager is not suited for a certain club? does Chelsea have a certain style that it needs to protect?

[DYC. 7,542]

He won't go back to Italy. I remember he said he hated his time there; he loved Inter but hated the culture of football.

He also said he'd return one day. But whatever.

Anyone looking for some quick succes will be interested. Give him a good squad and he'll deliver a few titles. You can't say that about all managers.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

‘Maybe one the reasons why Newcastle over the years don’t get good positions is because of this mentality. They choose some matches to sweat blood and in other matches they don’t. This is an attitude of a team that wins nothing.

Destroyed Newcastle.... lol!

[DYC. 7,542]

Klopp has been with two clubs in his career and he received the time and worked in an environment to build. Question is how he'll cope in a situation where there's pressure to deliver immediately.

I remember him cracking and not reacting well (whether on the pitch or to the press) when the the pressure was piling up in his final years at Dortmund, when they were no longer underdogs.

It's possible he's not built for such environments. Only way to find out is by diving in and trying though. I wouldn't mind Klopp as Mourinho's successor at all, especially since we'd see style of football never witnessed before in Chelsea's elite club era, but it's far, far from a guaranteed recipe for succes, even in theory.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

And I thought the Everton game is the worst game I've seen. Well maybe it still is.

However if it weren't for Willian and Ramires, today would have been an icing on the fantastic shit cake Chelsea made so far this season. And the best part? We may get even MORE icing from after the next game!

How can we have almost ZERO creativity from Oscar, Hazard, Fabregas and Pedro is beyond me.

Mourinho's Magic...
