The Mourinho Thread

[didierforever 7,349]

Will continue saying 'no', he shouldn't be sacked.

Games like this hurt bitterly, when we're supposed to have been on the up again.

It's harder and harder to justify why he shouldn't be, but I just don't think it'll help.

seriously?

u think it would not have helped if azpi was playing instead of iva and he had as much space and room to run in as bournemouth (intentionally?) gave iva.

u think playing remy instead of oscar with hazard on the left, willian in the center and pedro on the right would not have helped?

or playing rlc instead of the ever-underperforming cesc?

well, 3 of our worst performers this season, started the game. shocking? NO. it was "expected" of jose. any other manager would have told them to not even bother coming to the match.

Don't waste your time mate. There's no reasoning with that.

Unai Emery.

I'm putting all my faith that he should be the man to take-over at Chelsea in the summer of 2016.

Sevilla play real football, and he knows how to win in European competitions (obviously this season hasn't been the case, but still).

The fact that he knows how to approach European matches should not go unnoticed, just look at Mr. Pelligrino.

If you gave Emery better players, most notably Eden Hazard, i'm sure he'll have us back to the status quo, while not abandoning the team's offensive play.

No future replacement is perfect, all managers have their flaws, but I think Emery should be our guy.

Think he'd be able to get the most out of our current squad and the youngster's as constituted, seeing as how we most likely won't be adding many or any top WC players in the summer.

Been saying this for months, agree 100% mate. You've made some good points.

Sacked in March, Villas Boas lost a total of seven league games as Chelsea manager. Mourinho has now lost eight by December 5th

with a much better squad.

Jose Mourinho:

"We did not deserve to lose."

"They (Bournemouth Players) wasted time, called the medical team constantly and drank water as if it was a basketball game"

"The goal we have suffered was the fault of the ref"

"Handball in the penalty area"

LOL!

Still Here?

Nobody is leaving before the game vs Porto.

Needs to look closer to home, once again a load of generic and pathetic excuses.

I got most of that before the end ,, but missed the WATER ,, just shows Jose is the SPECIAL one at pressers ,, Blatter would be wise to ask him for advice

Every single point he made there is true, but this team shouldn't EVER be losing at home to Bournemouth regardless.

At some point our problems (which occur every match without fail) have to come down to coaching and not just "bad luck" like José keeps saying. We've played like shit since the start of 2015. Almost a bloody YEAR now!

say hello to europa then.

Come on Jose, you're better than that.

The things that he mentioned can happen every game. EVERY GAME. But he went 9 straight years (!!!) without losing a home game in the league DESPITE things mentioned above that certainly happened during that 150 game streak. And now he's talking like when any bit of hurdle occurs then you're dead, you lose home games for fun because you had bad luck or something didn't go your way. How can one man sometime ago went with such a record when he's so vulnerable to everything ?

He really doesn't listen to himself.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

And Oscar has beenworse. The guy can't pass or keep the ball. At least Hazard can pass and keep the ball on his worst day. Two goals against an Isreali pub-side in 4-0 blowouts means nothing. He's been almost as bad as Fabregas. I'm just trying to be objective here.

All valid points but Hazard has still been awful.

[Styles 9,790]

Come on Jose, you're better than that.

That's the thing, he really isn't.

[Essien19 1,415]

to have players like hazard, willian, pedro and not play attacking football is not an option. with such players, you HAVE to play attacking football.

as for certificates, and proven success, they mean NOTHING, when you cant put in a team on merit. when you have no MERITOCRACY in your squad, this is the least that will happen.

i feel we can get a 100% right decision because all of us on here want whats best for chelsea. and that is simply NOT JOSE.

The midfield isn't up for it, neither is the defense, imo.

Since the season has started, the defense is a bit higher up the pitch, didn't work out so well.

Willian is playing great stuff, but his style of play often slows us down, Hazard is a similar case.

Pedro is a luxury player, meaning, he needs the passes, but no one is able to send him on his way.

Yes, we can't buy 3 three points only because of his achievements made in the past, that's true.

Do we really have no performance-orientated society in the squad?

Why did he drop some players in the recent months?

I can agree that we could use more players, but some competition is there.

Yes, i think you will come out swinging and point the finger at Ivanovic.

Would Zouma been the better choice? Baba wasn't match fit, at least Mourinho said that, can't find out, but i believe him.

We need to take a look at the bigger picture; some players are important, not just because the way they are currently playing, but rather they offer different things to the team. They help others out and have great character within the team.

Why do you think Van Gaal doesn't drop Rooney? Because there is more than some performances,

Neville didn't mention it in his analyses, it's always been about tactic and mistakes,

we'll see how he handles the situation in Sevilla.

Personally speaking, i would have dropped Ivanovic a bit earlier, but Mourinho knows his stuff, imo.

Everyone wants the best for the club and team, sometimes disagreements have to happen in the family.

Once again there is a rift between the fans, at least in the stadium it's not that hostile.

Your just a Mourinho apologist mate I can't take anything you post seriously. Take your head out of the sand and have a good look at our predicament. We are in real danger of being dragged into a relegation battle and there's only one person to blame for that. When you start a game with no recognised forward against fucking Bournemouth at home then you reap what you sow.

Playing the same out of form players week after week and not changing it just smacks of incompetence. Special one? don't make me laugh he's about as special as a week old K.F.C. bucket

Mourinho is part of the Chelsea family, so yes, i'm backing him till the end. Especially when there are just insults and no reasoning!

But that doesn't mean that i agree with every decisions he made, but almost every coach in the recent years made bad judgement calls, one can find reasons to kick it up their ass. Very easy and populist, don't like it, not constructive and clearly not helping the course.

Working on the relationship and figuring out, why he does this or this, not looking for the easy way out and filing for divorce as most people do these days.

We're rock bottom and it seems it's getting worse and worse every week; i'm not speaking of the style of play,

the results are the problem because we have clear chances but decide not to score.

I knew we were in trouble when i saw Murray, good poacher, very very bad for Chelsea.

No matter what Mourinho tries, there are always things which aren't good enough.

Benching Costa?

Whining about the replacement!

Playing Baba?

Whining about Ivanovic.

Benching Oscar early?

Whining about Costa and concentrating on why no Remy?

Before that, he benched Hazard, Matic, Fabregas and others, so i disagree with your assessment.

Mourinho is losing more and more games, but i think he doesn't like it one bit and is desperately looking for a solution.

At the moment, is he clueless?

Maybe yes, but his reputation is on the line and i'm confident that we'll grind out enough results to survive in the end.

I know there will be big, very big disagreements but i think in the long-term we'll turn it around and then,

something special has been build.

Hate as much as you want on Wenger, but he is an Arsenal man through and through, i really want to have that at Chelsea, someone stable and big enough to survive in the long run. Someone who likes it around here!

Only Mourinho is allowed to make the big calls.

Scolari wanted Drogba gone? One quick talk from Didier with Abra, gone!

Avb trusted Lukaku instead of Drogba against United, furthermore no mate with Lampard? Gone!

Benitez thought Terry's legs were gone? It didn't take long, gone.

Personally i think if Mourinho is getting the sack, we will go back to the good ol' days, meaning,

zero stability and more and more moaning.

That’s just my two cents worth.

[WNDS 502]

The match against Porto is surely going to be make-or-break for Mourinho after this; I'm not sure that he will be able to keep his job if we drop out of the CL at the group stage as well. Weirdly, though, I actually agree with those who think that entry into the EL might be the only way to prevent this awful season from having an unwelcome knock-on effect on our next season; if we win the EL, we are right back in next season's CL (and with a trophy to boot).

Having said that, if we continue to play like this during the second half of the season, we can forget about winning any trophies whatsoever (apart from the obvious ones that the media and rival supporters will be all too willing to dish out at the end of the season ).

[The Chels 2,502]

I guess Emery would be an interesting choice but despite the Europa League success he's enjoyed, his defensive set-up leaves a lot to be desired IMO. And that's not good enough for the highest level. I know it's only one example but I think the goal De Bruyne scored against Sevilla in the last minute in the game at the Etihad sums it up well. A positive approach by Sevilla in trying to find the winner, you could argue, but I'd say it was incredibly amateur and naive. The less said about the game at the Sanchez-Pizjuan between the two sides, the better. Of course it's hard to criticise Emery given that he coaches attacking football and is afforded a very limited budget but for me, at least, it's clear that there are better alternatives if/when Mourinho leaves.
