The Mourinho Thread

[quickpassnmove 924]

buon Natale! Merry Christmas!

It's not Gary Neville, nor Guardiola,

It's not Simeone, not Emery,

It's not a bit of Koeman nor Parma Ham!

Sack'm in the evening!

goodbye Jose

Ciao Conte!

buona notte!

I seriously can't understand how anyone wants Mourinho to stay. We are a top club playing repulsive football. That is not even an exaggeration. We had one of the finest LB in Europe and sold him because Mourinho decided Azpi should be starting nearly every game. The fact that Mourinho thinks that is the way forward to go long term by keep playing Ivan at RB and Azpi at LB shows me his approach to football. Bertrand, Luis, who are 2 natural left footed players should never have gone but both sold. Then us being a top club, playing the likes of Liverpool and West Ham who are inferior to us and having Zouma at RB is utterly embarrassing. Just how does that work out? Look at all top teams and see one their biggest strengths is by having 2 natural FB in their correct position.

I mean some people were happy with the point against Spurs. That just sums up Mourinho for me. Another manager would look at the game and look out the difference between points between the 2 and actually try to win the game. But Mourinho was happy to take a point. I just don't get that way of thinking when a club like ours is languishing near the foot of the table.

Then just look at every game we have played this season in the league. We have not stringed 2 consecutive wins together and there has literally not been 1 performance in the league from us this season that has been convincing. That is unacceptable. The club going forward with Mourinho is not getting us anywhere. Losing to a Bournemouth side sums that up. That is literally zero-tolerance. Especially at home. Spurs scored 5 past them away from home. Everton scored 3 past them way from home. City scored 5 past them. We bloody lost to them with virtually our whole team fit. That speaks volumes. Even Villa and Newcastle managed to beat them. LOL and just imagine what Arsenal are going to do to them.

We need someone new just to come in and get us playing how we should and I have watched enough of us to know that Mourinho is not that man. It is actually embarrassing watching what Mourinho has turned us in to.

. And fans are still chanting his name? That is great, nice support, thumbs up .. but why am I never hearing support for Willian or Zouma, our best performers this year? I am only hearing "Jose Mourinho" and "Diego, Diego!" ... great

At the moment, the Willian song is sung more than any one regarding individuals...followed by JT double. Even Fabregas has had his one sang in an attempt to lift his performance like we used to with Torres.

Saw this on Reddit today

We have been seriously off the pace for some time now. Last season, we got 41 points from the second half of the season, a decent haul. However when tallied since January, the warning signs last season become crystal clear. Of the 17 teams in the Premier League for both seasons, we are 9th.

• Arsenal: 72
• Man City: 65
• Man Utd: 64
• Leicester: 60
• Spurs: 59
• Southampton: 58
• Liverpool: 57
• Everton: 57
• Chelsea: 56
• Crystal Palace: 54
• Stoke: 51
• West Brom: 46
• Swansea: 42
• West Ham: 39
• Sunderland 30
• Newcastle: 26
• Aston Villa: 23

Now obviously, I will pre-empt this by saying that this shouldn't be directly inferred from. Clubs may have harder schedules one half of the season and that won't be accounted for, only looking at a calendar year. But it is nevertheless telling of just how pedestrian Chelsea's results have been for quite some time now in the league. In the last 3 months or so, pedestrian doesn't even begin to cover it( Since beating Arsenal we have collected 8 points from 9 games).

The reason I'm posting is, is not to call for scapegoating or knee-jerk reactions, but because I'm tired of deflections of bad form or bad luck. There is no way bad form is this consistent, this prolonged or this widespread among the entire squad. There has been no real response or reaction, our form is only stagnating. Burying our heads in the sand about it serves no purpose. We'll see how the rest of December goes but we are on track to get 63 points from 38 league games.

This doesn't rest on one person's head. Or one transfer window. Neither are faultless.

Either the squad is complacent and mentally weak or they are burnt out or the dressing room is lost. A combination of the three in varying factors is more than possible.

Thoughts?

yeah...if we gained the same amount of points after 15 games from now till end of season as last season..we will be sitting quite pretty...i.e. with an outside chance of 4th spot = 66 points.

Just shows that last years results didnt really tail off that much

If only we had a chance of that happening - but seriously can you see us stringing a run together like that?

urm head says no. But, you know me...the eternal optimist ;-)

Sorry mate, you're one of the bosses around here, but please show some respect and don't joke around with this subject.

You know what they're doing, not funny.

A few day ago it was all over Dailymail.

He'd take Ivanovic with him, because he can't CROSS.

Amicably part company, get an interim in until the end of the season then throw cash at Simeone.

Jose, like Klopp, will recover elsewhere, but here things are broken and he needs to go.

Maybe have him back for a short third spell before he retires, because it would be a shame if this was his last action for Chelsea.

The end is definitely near if even Tomo is no longer defending Mourinho.

Hire an interim. Go all in for Pep in the summer.
