The Mourinho Thread

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Didn't he play Traore as a left back during preseason?

He also replaced FB with Kenedy in one game, but I thought it was because he wanted more attackers to win the game...

But if he actualy wants to utilise and transform Kenedy into defender just because he is willing to work hard in order to impress Mou, Im done.

Who am I to question two time CL coach about tactics, but that is downright unacceptable management.

'Mourinho’s off-field conduct has been received badly in the Stamford Bridge boardroom, where there are concerns about the damage being done to the club’s image.'

HAHAHAHA

There are concerns about the damage being done to the club’s image

'CONCERNS'

:)

I don't think it could be said with bigger euphemism. The club's image was absolutely torn to pieces !

Goal.com - reliable

But if we look at this from us side- better time to sack him was after lost with Stoke. Now we just lose 4/5 days for new manager.

Im seriously questioning Mous ability to manage properly if he tried to play Kenedy as fucking CB. You just dont test and train a winger (who is doing a fine job there) as CB or even FB.

What the hell.

Just getting them used to being played out of position for them to be ready when Brendan comes.

11 points in 12 games I would have thought we were Villa or Sunderland ....

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

I don't know if giving him full season is the sign of patience or board's happy permission for mediocrity. I think neither. What I'm most convinced of it is 'political' reason in that. They want that CPO shares and it's crunch time in talks. Fans are fully behind the manager and they don't want to fall from grace with them before that.

I wonder ... We're probably restricting ourself to Diego Simeone. It's almost impossible to see Guardiola taking over after Jose. I think it's necessity to be smooth period before that.

We'll see.

What if Brendan come in we win all of our PL games get max. 89 points and winning the league, because Leicester, City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal starting to drop points.

We go to Round of 16 where we beat Bayern on penalties, in quarters we beat Barca agg. 6-1, in semis we beat Rafa 5-0 at Bridge and lose 1-0 in Spain, and beat Zenit in the Final after extra-time.

In FA cup we beat Arsenal and Man U to win it

And then I woke up...

Or we are giving the new manager a full summer.

From everything I've seen, there's absolutely no reason to suggest that he's going to be sacked at any time during this season, unless we're still this bad in January. Other managers have backed him, the board has backed him, Roman has backed him, most of the supporters back him. The only ones who aren't backing him are the media and some vocal minority of supporters.

Yes maybe board and Roman think that he can save this season and LM for us. But tbh i dont this so.

I never liked Guardiola much, but if Mou leaves, I think Pep would be the only and best choice.

He would certainly add some stability into team and bring fluid football.

Problem is his defensive tactics, no plan b and how he suits english football in general.

After Stoke was the time.

I have already come to terms with it - he isn't going until the summer and even then he may stay if they cannot acquire the right targets.

So at least another 6 months of dull as dishwater Chelsea performances to come

But FML - we need to start winning

Please stop. Guardiola is miles ahead of Mourinho tactically and his teams have ALWAYS been better defensively.

Inter vs Barca 2010?

I still think Guardiola is tactically naive when it comes to the defensive part of the game, but is better at getting the full potential out of a team.

Yeah thats why Bayern was dominating everyone but got out as soon they played against better opponents in CL for past two years.

At least he is not afraid of bigger opponents We were knocked out by 10 men PSG ...

His approach is fine but tactical adjustment is wrong. I mean he lost 5:0 and 5:3 on agg last two semis, including 4:0 and 3:0 defeats.

Tho Im sure this year will be more careful and Vidal if fit might play very big role.
