The Mourinho Thread

Recommended Posts

Eden Hazard didn’t start a league game for us for the first time since April 2014

‘I left Hazard out because we are conceding lots of goals. We need to defend better. We need our midfield players to be just worried about the central area of the pitch, not to be worried about compensating for the left side or the right side.

‘Playing with Pedro and Willian, the midfield players don’t have to look to the left or the right. Willian and Pedro did amazing defensive work on very good offensive players, Hutton and Richardson, and later Amavi. They allowed the midfield players to be very comfortable, and to have performances like Ramires and Fabregas had, totally controlling the centre of the pitch.

‘It was just a tactical decision leaving super quality on the bench but bringing tactical discipline and hoping that the team could be solid. I continue in that way or he [Hazard] comes in our direction and tries to replicate the same work Willian or Pedro did.

What?... :ph34r:

This is gold.

We're 5 points off top 4, i don't think it's impossible, other teams will lose points down the road, we just have to keep up the results at least, if not the form.

I m not denying where we are and the difference ... Nothing is impossible, we can win the title also even that is possible ... But realistically we need to look what we are doing now and are we improving in terms of tactics which is not.

Our strategy is still dependent on players to lift us rather than changing our game plan or tactics ... We played the same way one year back and still there is no change in our game plan (please educate me in case there is a huge difference) ... Today every team does an in depth analysis of their opponents and it is so simple to read your opponents if there is no change in tactics. Every one of our top players have been now found out by our opponents ... else how can you describe the best player from last season to be at most average in a span of 3 months?

Last season we managed to find success because the momentum was there, form was intact, new faces ... the moment that went off the tactics/strategy is gone for a toss. So today even when we recover our form it would be difficult to get those ease 3 points ... Plus the fact the team which were at 4,5,6 last season have improved in terms of quality of players ...

For this reason I doubt we would make it top 4.

Having said that, I'm a human and a fan at the end of day and will always hope for the best for the club ...

Thought Mourinho had a good managers performance today.

Taking off RLC to bring Matic on and therefore give Baba who was struggling a little more protection on that side seemed reasonable enough.

Villa were obviously sent out by 'tactics' Tim to get straight into us and try to capitalise on any confidence issues. Thought we held them comfortably for 20 mins before going on to control the play until the final whistle.

Seemed obvious that Mourinho and the team had the long trip to Kiev in mind as well...with the subs and closing down of the match giving Villa nothing.

Remember Mourinho used to be lauded as a tactical genius when he used to make quickfire changes such as 2 or 3 at halftime and we won with comfort......now posters moan if a player doesnt get an hour .

Some posters "moan" about everything as long as Jose is still the manager. They probably need a little break. We won today, kept a clean sheet, nothing perfect yet...

Let's look at the game at hand. Let talk about the team, the newly injected players, the benched palyers, the manager's tactics and selection, constructive criticism...etc. We can't just keep wailing even when we win.

I believe Eden Hazard will leave at the end of this season. He came here to be an attacker, not be blamed for conceding goals.

It's a shame, because he can only show his individual brilliance in our team. In a team that plays proper and quality, well-drilled collective attacking Football, that's when he's at his best.

Lol he is taking of Matic and Hazard as if its their fault yet Iva and Cesc get away every time.

If we sell Matic or Hazard because of Mou shit Im gonna lose it.

We have lost so many genuinelly quality players because of Mou so don't be surprised.

I think its really funny that the same people who were talking about "long term" when the club was firing AVB, RDM and Ancelotti, are the same using the argument "Mourinho won the PL last season", or are the ones who believe a victory is enough fo forget the problems.

I still believe he will be sacked before the season, because every game the always come up with a crap.

He was sayng Hazard was 2nd best player in the world last season, and now he is getting benched because he is not as good as Ramires. Matic was humilliated last game, and Jose spent days talking about RLC being the future, only to drop him after 45 minutes and introduce Matic again.

The mand benched Hazard because he was affraid of conceding goal for Aston Villa, probably a "top 3 worst teams Chelsea will face this season". I mean, he wasn't dropping Hazard because he wasnt creating enought attacking chances, but because the team was conceding too many goals. He even praised Pedro, who was a garbage today.

Quite depressing.

Hope you liked the 3 points

Yeah because that's all that matters right :)

The performance - I have no words to describe.

Every time I watch us play I just hate Mourinho that little bit more and to hear the bellend spouting bollocks in post match interviews is just bordering on Farcical.

Did Jose go to North Fucking Korea recently or something? Hes acting like because he says it's so - it's true - dude WTF IT IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE YOU DESCRIBE!!!

utter and complete garbage performances - no chances from open play - I mean seriously against the worst team in the league.

One Swallow does not make a summer - and those of you believing this win will change anything will IMHO have a rude awakening over the next few weeks! I pray I'm wrong, but I don't think I will be :(

Can you keep a secret....just between you and me?

Sssshhh...here goes. That rotation thingy that posters complained he wasnt doing throughout the squad...yeah.

Well...I have a feeling that he is doing it now and players that were not used or had limited time could well feature on Tuesday night in Kiev.

As for the performance today...solid, no dramas and easy. No less no more.

3 points was needed to keep the vultures away except the OTT wendies on Talkchelsea.

Today was about the points, clean sheet and confidence....nothing else.
