The Mourinho Thread

He was number ten in second half of 12/13 when he started to go off the boil.

Yes but you're talking as if players don't lose their form.

Also, out of position is an excuse to a point, but not for how much he's gone off the boil. Anelka, Modric, Azpilicueta, David Silva, Bale, prime Ivanovic, were played out of their best positions and did well.

I take your point but different players have different adaptability. Not everyone can excel in different positions (don't think I would use Modric, Silva, Bale as examples) and for every player you mentioned above, you could probably name a few who works better in a certain position than others.

I noticed it especially because I went away for 2 months between the Reading game and Saints game and watched all games inbetween in one go pretty much (full games) and one of the things I noticed was how much he dropped off, it probably had a fair bit to do with burnout in his defense but he was every bit as poor in that period as Cesc has been this season.

An on the second point fair enough, however his flaws were still obvious even in his prime for us, but one thing that was widely known as Matas strongest point was his final ball and assists, even out of position under AVB he was still assisting, and with 4 last season, Oscar and Willian get slated for having similar low numbers in a season

The main point of what I responded to Parky tho was the fact he criticised Jose for letting Mata go, it might have been painful on a personal level letting him go especially there, but on a footballing level for me it defiantly wasn't a mistake and £37m was a steal for us.

On a side not it wouldhave been intersting if Mata went before KDB, Salah came in and played a lot of games as the 5th attacking midfielder, so De Bruyne might have got a fair bit of game time too, so maybe he would have stayed if Mata went first.

What a complete and utter twat. Is he a disgruntled Man United fan definitely not or just someone who's trying to make a few quid by selling cheap shit to people who don't know any better. And before anyone says it's only Man United who cares if a fuckwitt like that turned up on the Fulham Road he wouldn't last five minutes.

If he is such a big chelsea fan as he says he is, he would never chose united. Lets see how loyal he is...

Let's not fool ourselves, he is more in love with English football than he will ever be with Chelsea. He just doesn't strike as that Terry-type legend. Heck, even Lampard and Čech went to play for our rivals.

Even Terry played for another English Club.

After Madrid Mourinho could have gone everywhere but he chose to come back to us.

But when things got tough, we showed no loyalty whatsoever and kicked him out, even a dog deserves better, imo.

Mourinho comitted himself to us, he wanted to stay here long-term, yes he made mistakes too but after the dismissal i can't blame the man for going to another English Club.

He would have never left us... [emoji30] [emoji25]

I beg to differ. He comitted to us not because of loyalty, but because he knew that the fans love him and will always stand by him no matter what. Not to mention the pay check. It's not like he was managing us pro bono. His sallary was huge.

Loyalty doesn't exist anymore. Not in football.

A lot of things are important.

Yes, the money was the good, the atmosphere great, sure.

But other clubs could have payed him more, the french league is a lot easier, but in end he came back to us,

i honour it because one can't buy such a thing.

Anyway, i don't condemn Jose Mourinho if he takes the United Job.

Thats all.

So long!

Agreed. I wouldn't condemn him either. I simply do not care at all, to be honest. I am more worried for Chelsea than for Mourinho or United.
