The Mourinho Thread

[Last Sicarius 610]

do what?

Fall to championship :v

I'm still waiting for right decision from Roman. Carlo is free

But now, lets watch some good football in Dortmund derby.

I think a lot of the fans wouldn't be so angry with Mourinho if he actually played young players. I'd be okay with not playing in CL for one season if that meant that our young players would play in our starting team. Look at United, they are playing Lingard instead of Depay, for example. RLC is a big, big talent and it would be shame if we wasted him.

Jose has left the building.....and the under 21's have stepped it up

Been summoned to another meeting?

[Muzchap 8,966]

3 goals in 7 minutes once Mourinho leaves Cobham.

Does the alleged dictorial presence make players nervous?

Possibly - they know if they don't perform to an unrealistic level they will continue to rot in the reserves

Sometimes doing your job can be fun - but Mou seems to suck all of the life and happiness out of everything...

exactly this. he has no right , not look long term, in this scenario. especially as he promised to do so.

Some of the things he does are questionable to say the least, and no one of sane minds is going to defend him for those things.

However, most people, just like you, go too far from what is the reality, some comments i've seen in here about him, can be appropriate for criminals, or serious offenders, not a football manager, who at least from what we know is not a drug dealer/murderer/pimp.

I don't like Guardiola, i don't like Ronaldo, i don't like Rodgers or others, but disrespect them as people? That's a step too far from what is the reality, or what really matters in this world.

attacking someones eye for no reason. that's the kind of thing that really matters to me, very cowardly and dangerous. deserved an absolute hiding for that imo,

[Essien19 1,415]

what's that based on? one game against stoke? the style was horrendous in the game before vs liverpoolm and i didn't see kiev, but it seems we were bailed out by an own goal and set piece. we need a proper attacking tactician to get us back on track

Have you seen Chelsea play 2014?

One of the best attacking sides in the recent years.

Arsenal can dream of that consistency, probable they still are.

Have you seen Real Madrid play under Jose Mourinho?

One of the best attacking sides in the world during his reign, take a look at the goal scoring record from the boys.

He ended Barcelona, Guardiola never fully recovered from this.

Ronaldo has always been a good player, but Mourinho made him one of the best (goal scorers) in history.

Scoring every season about 50 goals in the season isn't normal and Mourinho made it happen.

Mourinho made Hazard player of the Year in England, again we're speaking about an attacking player.

So, i don't think that Mourinho doesn't know how to attack properly.

We created enough chances to win the game or get at least a draw against Stoke.

Against Liverpool, the 2:1 broke us, couldn't cope with the goals against us.

The mentality isn't good enough, too many followers, take a good look at Cesc Fabregas, yesterday he didn't give a fuck.

We desperately need more structure and organization on the field, but for me the style of play is getting better and better.

More dominance, and the numbers of chances are increasing...

It's only a matter of time when the three points will float in.

If Jose gets the sack, we will win a few games, but after that, it's mostly going to get worse.

Have seen it more than once, sack the coach, win some games, but after that, the interim coach is absolutely clueless.

Di Matteo won us the Champions-League, but he was completely overburdened how to use the likes of Eden Hazard and so on properly.

Yes, if we can bring in a guy like Thomas Tuchel, then we are talking about good competition.

But bringing in a guy like Ancelotti (always playing the same and tactical exremely limited), then i'm 100% against it.

Overall Mourinho has still a few years left on his contract, and the current situation is hurting his reputation a lot,

so i think we will come good.

heat of the moment thing during a touchline melee.

He made up with the Barca assistant and admitted he was wrong.

'I should not have done what I did, obviously not,' Mourinho told Fox Sports during Real's pre-season tour of the United States.

'The person who messed up there was me,' added the Portuguese, in an interview posted on the broadcaster's website.'

Has anyone considered match fixing? #SuperAgentMendes

[borriske 330]

This graph makes it clear that attack-wise, this team has been on a terrible decline since 2014/2015. This lends further credence to Jose's inability to affect his sides on the offensive end.

Mourinho's teams have never had any sustained way of playing in attack. Just relying on counter attacks and the quality of certain individual players will not bring long term success. Excluding the initial spurt in quality of football after the Costa and Fabregas signings, we've been very unconvincing in attack throughout Mourinho's 2nd spell.

Mourinho is to busy making proclamations like "when you reach my level, it's difficult to learn from others". Other managers continue learning, his ego means he's stood still.

That damned Tottenham seems to have been so pivotal in a bad way. But how? Did something happen there? I vaguely seem to remember Mourinho being absolutely furious after that game declaring he would restrict a lot of the attacking plays and focus more on defense. I can be completely wrong about this and I can't find this interview on the net, but it seems to be in accordance with our, erm.., 'style' of play after that.

Edit: I seem to have mixed up the tottenham game last year with the COC defeat to sunderland the year before . (http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/18/jose-mourinho-chelsea-tactics-sunderland). Still, one might expect Mourinho to have made the same decision after that game and after the horrible start this season.

"It's something I don't want to do, to play more counterattacking, but I'm giving it serious thought. If I want to win 1-0 I think I can as I think it is one of the easiest things in football. It is not so difficult, as you don't give players the chance to express themselves."

Jose always does that, he allows the team to be more free flowing until we lose, remember all the interviews he gave saying he wanted us to playinga different style of football from previous sides he managed, he wanted our defenders to play higher up the pitch and for our forwards to press high. He then pussies out once we lose, it's really frustrating.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Palace are beating the same Liverpool team that battered us in our own ground

[lucio 5,386]

As a fisherman you need to stay calm and wait for the perfect moment, it's still too early to get the hook out.

as a fisherman , if you stay out at sea too long (represented here by jose keeping his job) there may be a storm , drowning , killer whales attack (represent by missing out on CL, ruining young players).

i know this is lame but.... i wanted to say something about fishing.
