Interesting post match interview with Steve Holland.

Was going on about how hard they been working on attacking play in training.

Certainly blows away this myth that Chelsea under Mourinho don't put any practice into forward play

theory absolutely blown to smithereens, i agree

Well the article doesnt answer the headline

I think one of the reasons is that Chelsea are always under pressure. Usually to win something or to qualify somewhere. Now we are under pressure to climb the table. Managers simply don't trust youth under pressure and that goes especially to Mourinho. The games where they do play are against weaklings with less pressure than normal, and even then the minutes are very limited and instead deadwood with no future are preferred.

I am wondering how do they expect them to develop pressure tolerance when they are protected to the point they don't play meaningful games at all? Sure RLC has time on his side, but if the past is anything to go by, then age 19 will rise to 21 soon enough and players in his position will have expected to be playing more prominent roles in the team by then, rather than just sad minutes in cock cup or games where there is nothing to win or lose.

yes,Mourinho is a genius.

I wonder what people will think of this season if we finish top half of the table and win the Champions League and say the FA Cup, personally I'd be happy with that.

If we win CL and FA Cup we could finish one goal above relegation and I'd be fucking delighted....it's not even a debate. If we do not get into CL, we'd better not even get 6th and then it is irrelevant where we finish anyway.

Very misleading. No way Mourinho and Pellergini are better than Ferguson. Ferguson played 800+ games in the league, that's why his winning percentage is lower. False stuff from BBC. Doing that so they can spark arguments on Facebook and Twitter.

EDIT: Mancini better than Wenger in PL history? Really? I hate Arsenal but that is so dumb.

They should have done this by the number of trophies they won, and if there's a tie between any THEN the number of wins.

its done on percentage

No it doesn't really highlight Mourinho's strong point as it's an unfair comparison. And it's laughable that you think Jose and Manuel are better in Sir Alex. Laughable.

Again Sir Alex played 800 games in the league, while Jose and Manuel played less than 300. If Pep comes to the league and wins his first 8/10 games, he's suddenly the best PL manager in history right??? Because that's what this thing is. :lol:

And nobody in this planet bar Mourinho fanboys/shit media to gain more clicks would look at who is the best manager from this perspective.

It's the trophies won (and always has been until this article showed up to majorly favour Jose), not win percentage.

In 27 years 13 Championships.

Mourinho: 5 seasons 3 Championships.

Jose Mourinho isn't doing so bad, is he?! :D

I don't want to say who is the best, they all are very good managers.

Ferguson did it time and time again, kudos to him, but his European record isn't that good so every person has his weak spot.

The thing which is laughable here (imo) is that some people call their own people fanboys just because they like their manager.

Everyone who doesn't get in line is just a fanboy or the media is shit, what about freedom of opinion?!

Also you need to remember that English clubs were banned for a part of Fergies reign... So that could skew the results slightly and it was in an era without as much technology and advancement - so it really was going into the unknown back then :)

How about Manuel?

2 seasons, 1 PL trophy. And Manuel's on his way to his 2nd PL trophy.

Until Mourinho matches Ferguson with the trophy count, he's no way better than Ferguson.

I'm not saying Jose is bad, and I agree Jose is one of PL's best managers of all time, but I'm saying it's ridiculous to say Jose is better than Sir Alex at this point of time. Sir Alex has a clear distance between all other PL managers at the moment.

His European record is bad, and Jose edges him there I agree but we are not talking about who's the best CL manager in history here.

The reason I'm calling out on the fanboys because there shouldn't be ANY doubt that who is the best PL manager of all time. You can have your own opinion, that because Jose was a Chelsea manager and won the most trophies with us, his your favourite manager.

But to say he's the best PL manager in history, even Jose himself will disagree with you.

How can I be serious with you if you use win percentage to determine who's the best ever PL manager? Mourinho currently holds the best PL win percentage of all time, that's it. You don't win PLs by having the greatest win percentage.

Real Madrid had the best win percentage in our 2012 CL. Barca has the best win percentage in the past 3 years. Do any of us care?

compare the number of seasons between SAF and Jose first and after that the trophy count
