The Mourinho Thread

[zolayes 14,489]

The best manager available is probably Ancelotti but we've already burnt those bridges.

Ranieri if we can wait till next year..

[Pizy 18,858]

No chance he'll be sacked after that.

If we lose to Arsenal in embarrassing fashion...

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

All the people keep on saying 'he will resign' LOL, he already said numerous times he will not DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Why would he when he just got a fat contract with probably over 20-30m worth of compensation. We fucked it up by putting 'faith' in him after a good season thinking he has changed from his previous spell at other clubs.

There's the same discussion every week on this forum....

Now that's the definition of a boring season, this time around we fully deserve the "Boring Boring Chelsea" thing, i can't see him changing anything for next game as well, Wenger is going to put another one past him. Confidence in the team right now is 0.

Also, i don't understand the Ancelotti wank fest, he's the definition of overrated.Take it from me, he won the double first season here? He wouldn't have won anything else for another 7 seasons. He's worse than Mou in rotation and if things go south he will never recover the dressing room or react fast enough, he would be even slower than José right now in changing things.

lets see what he is going to say : "we were brilliant. we had more possession. our performance was out of the world and much better than the result. i deserve a noble peace prize for selecting ivanovic game after game after fucking game."

Klopp ticks all the boxes. Ancelotti doesn't trust young players and barely rotates, like Mourinho. And as you clearly stated, bridges already burned.

Fuck this, poor results due to bad luck are one thing.

So much money have been put into players, and I still hardly feel any excitement when I see CFC play nowadays.
I was defending Jose for a long time, saying that he needed time to rebuild the squad, that the boring as fuck defensive tactics were meant to carry us until a new more offensive strategy could be created.
Well, that time is over. I watch football for entertainment, and while wins sure are entertaining, even that excitement runs dry after 87 games worth of grinding out results for 90 min.

I honestly dont know whether there is a mismatch between the vision of Mou and the board (the new contract suggests otherwise), but I am seriously starting to wonder if it was worth it bringing Mou back. Last summer I felt optimistic, and it was not just because a lot of money was spent, but because the money spent adressed weaknesses. The club actually showed an ability to learn from mistakes, and it felt like a construction project that was starting to come together.

What if last season was the actual anomaly? City, United, Arsenal and even Liverpool all struggled with results and injuries, while CFC basically went through the whole season comfortably. Several results that felt undeserved went our way. You would think the club would see what every rival was going through and would prepare themselves, but no.
Chelsea have one plan, and a set of players that go with that plan. When that plan doesnt work, there is no come back.

The CL game against PSG represents what Chelsea have been turned to under Mou 2.0 for me. An inflexible, un-meritocratic team that is more worried about not losing than they are focused on winning. Problems such as the central midfield go completely non-adressed, while the right back gets an insanely expensive backup who has yet to be seen in action one month in.
I just dont want Mou in the club anymore. The last time he was here he felt like a breath of fresh air, now he feels like the complete opposite.
This is not a knee-jerk reaction to the horrible season, but a reaction to a building realisation that he will never change, while football has.

There are actually interesting candidates out there. Guardiolas contract will expire soon, Klopp is available. Both have a great reputation, arent afraid to develop their own strategies and nurture youth. On paper far superior candidates than the current coach.

Only a 10 game winning streak can save the season now. Or at least 25 point out of the next 10 matches in the league.

Thirdseasonwearoutaphobia continues.

Title was gone in the summer. We should be focusing on finishing in the Top 4 & the cups.

lets see what he is going to say : "we were brilliant. we had more possession. our performance was out of the world and much better than the result. i deserve a noble peace prize for selecting ivanovic game after game after fucking game."

And of course the imaginary "chances" we allegedly created which our players "failed to take".

[kellzfresh 7,229]

no, thank you.

All that said, Jose has been performing worse than our players... and that's saying a lot. He needs to figure things out. I don't believe we should sack him, but if he fails to solve it, he should resign. It's the right thing to do. You support the manager, the club will look like idiots firing someone they just gave a contract renew. The only noble thing to do is resignation, although I'm not saying right now. He needs to figure his shit out as much as the players do. We don't have anyone in form in the team, starting from our manager.

What I'm afraid of is if Mourinho can't stop us losing and someone gets Ancelloti, then there's no one able to replace Mourinho without me shaking.

Klopp faced what Mourinho is doing this season during last season so I'm not confident in him.

I'm beginning to believe Mourinho runs away from the league after third seasons because everyone figures his tactics out. He can't even park the bus anymore

Klopp is just coming off a season worse than the one we're currently having. I'm not convinced.

Ancelotti gave McEachran, Bruma & Kakuta chances. None of them were good enough.

I trust Jose Mourinho

I don't anymore.

[yipo 56]

maybe guus hiddink interim manager

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

maybe guus hiddink interim manager

:clown: :clown: :clown: same guy that singlehandedly prevented Dutch team from getting to Euros 2016? this is not 2009 anymore.

[Special Juan 28,100]

What now Jose?

Who's fault was today Jose?

Any chance players can be dropped Jose?

Instead of him body swerving fucking questions he needs to take a long hard look at his managerial skills and sort it out.
