bethos1 802 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Matter of taste. I personally love physical old-school football which involves defending. Can't imagine us playing with army of dwarfs doing tika-taka 80% possession. It's just silly. Defending is as beautiful art as is attacking, it just requires some insight knowledge and experience to recognize it. How come Atletico aren't boring? They're just as defensive counter-attacking team as we are and we're rumored to be looking at Simone? So in that sense you're right, its the mentality that's keeping us back. And it really doesn't matter who it is or why he is trying to sabotage our squad, our manager, it's unacceptable. Could you imagine this kind of behaviour in an office type of work environment, unthinkable. Whoever it is, has to be gone on the second transfer window opens.That's fine but we don't have the players to play physical so why even try? If Mou can't adapt to these players he should just leave.

Popular Post! Fulham Broadway 17,338 Posted November 3, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 3, 2015 Press conference today at 12 30 I would like Jose to stop looking and sounding like a bitter, beaten, angry man. A nice calm boring presser, with little drama. I would also like the club to come out with a statement re backing Jose to cool the raging media fire with regard to his impending sacking, - if only to stop the media running away with wild untruths, that do damage to the club.I dont want it to be like last time when the next conference features Bruce Buck sat next to a fat sack of shit saying ''Avram will take us to the next level''. Jesus. We're better than that. Johnnyeye, Blue Colored Sky, bababoom and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José seems unable to come out of this hole, so maybe some help from the outside is needed.I agree, giving him 1-2 more months as ''deadline'' would hurt us and insult Jose even more. You either give him full support for a year or just let him go, this ''1 week/month to save your career'' thing is torture. Look at Klopp, he said it himself, he never felt pressure that he would be sacked, that's why he could turn the season around.

Popular Post! Changingman_2000 876 Posted November 3, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't want to appear sexist here, but Eva had a considerable fan base due to the fact that she is fucking stunning. Jose going off on one at her on the touchline could have been easily offset, by laughing it off post match and making a heartfelt apology. Sadly Jose and 'apology' don't go hand in hand. May be a small piece in the collapse, but his treatment of her was unbelievable.....and then he drags it on.Some of our players clearly witnessed it and must have been thinking "what the fuck?" manpe, Fulham Broadway, Bosnian Blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOS 580 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Some decisions took a lot a lot of time, maybe Hazard, Fabregas and Ivanovic (before his injury) could have been benched earlier.But now, he is more ruthless, Matic, Hazard, Fabregas they are all feeling the heat now,their place has been put under the microscope.In my point of the view, the overall style of play is evolving and getting better, yes, the setbacks aren't over yet, sometimes they hit us very hard. I prefer to look at the positive aspects and getting a draw against Newcastle after being 2 down or taking the lead against Pool isn't so bad.Yes, the player's mentality hasn't been fully restored yet, but we're getting there.Long story short:Mourinho does make the necessary changes at least now, the team is getting better at scoring goals, yes, the organisation needs to get better quickly, but overall i can see clear signs of improvement.What else could you expect?More controll and a constant killing spree, but i cut Mourinho some slack, because we aren't talking about a machine, which you simply can turn on or off.If we're that bad during boxing day, the outcome will be different, then we have to analyse the situation very carefully and maybe Mourinho should get the sack then.But we aren't there yet, therefore i continue with my support and trust towards the players and Mourinho.OK, so you think there are improvements. Cool, we can opt to disagree and leave it at that. But for the sake of clarity, for I want to understand your POV, let's break things up a little finer here1) Do you admit that Jose has erred (as has the board and the players)?2) If so, what exactly did he do wrong in your view and what is he doing to amend it?3) Don't you think it is an insult to Chelsea fan's intelligence blaming everything/anything but himself?

Changingman_2000 876 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Doesn't need to cost millions to bring in a replacement if the time comes. I've noticed Bobby Campbell sat in Roman's box a couple of times. £1500 a week and a two bedroom terraced house in Scotland Road, Liverpool should seal the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back up here in my beloved hometown of Glasgow, you just need to mention that your Chels and out it comes "You were nothing without that Russian cunt, blah, blah, fucking blah". So many fucking times have I had to 'interject' with "when you say 'nothing', by that I take it that you are discounting two FA Cups, Two League Cups, One ECWC, One Super Cup, repeated European campaigns and four points from the title in 99' (Cheers Doobs)?"Now Citeh, that's another case altogether. Anyway, I digress.On reflection, Jose should ride it out, Roman should back him, even if it means relegation. The older ones amongst us with recall many seasons of yo-yo'ing between the top two divisions and (almost) a spell in the 3rd, so lets try to stay positive. Should be get relegated, we will lose thousands of tourists (not the worst thing I can think of) and...........should Millwall get promoted............tribal I know, but old habits and all that.

Special Juan 28,156 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Jose Mourinho is in the house.He's just been asked his first question and judging from his answer this could be an awkward news conference.First question: You say you think you've got time, have you spoken with Roman since the weekend?"I don't have to answer you," replies Mourinho. "If I was with the owner or not, I don't have to answer."How long do you think you have?"Three years and seven months," replies Mourinho, referring to his contract.The word icy doesn't quite cover it.

Popular Post! Leif 6,006 Posted November 3, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 3, 2015 If the board stick with Jose through this, and we have him next season again, there'll be a new-found respect for the board from everyone; us, Jose, and that alone will improve dynamics within the club positively since the levels of paranoia would be chopped in half. It's easier to play that attractive football we want when you're not playing for your job on a game-to-game basis.Standing by him would show Jose that he is indeed secure here & able to build a legacy. If he was actually shown trust by the board, and not just told he has it, a lot would change. What's the point in trying to build something special when you've only been given signs that you'll have it yanked away from you any moment?There's never been genuine respect between parties running this club from what I've seen, and this is an opportunity to start building that respect IMO.

Leif 6,006 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 that said, what level would that be? 2nd-tier? i'm sure 2nd-tier managers nowadays do learn from their peers. i'm sure the top tier ones do too. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
