The Mourinho Thread

I thought that. But I just find it annoying how he'll pop up now and say "NOW I'm one of you" because it suits him and claim he's spiritually been with us all this time or whatever's going through his head. I know it's flirting what he's doing. He does it at every club. I just don't like it.

Seems to me like your looking for something negative to point out. Which other time could he have said that? When managing Inter or Madrid?

He has showed Chelsea as much love as he can while managing other teams without going too far for the sake of inter/Madrid supporters. Maybe even going a bit too far with his love for us during his Real period.

I understand that mourinho has a great understanding of psycholgy and the interview seemed too perfect but everything he says sounds genuine to me. I have zero doubt about that. Not for one second did I get the idea that he was claiming the CL trophy a bit of "his".

Yes it's so easy to win just because you spent your right proved AVB spent nearly £80m in his sole summer with us and got sacked for taking a team who were champions 2 season's previous to 5th or when Kenny spent £80m in the same summer and finished 8th.

Ofcourse money helps, but if you seriously think any half decent manager could have had the same scale of success at Inter and especially Chelsea Jose had, then i advice you to see your nearest doctor.

I think u are being harsh in avb and daglish. I thougt avb signing was excellent, but we had pathetic squad. Remember Bosingwa and malouda in the first team. Daglish in the other hand did awful signing with his trio british.

But i think mou is a better coach than those two but you cannot win without good player.

Making a mountain out of a mole hill, I can imagine Jose was delighted when we lifted the CL trophy last year, to a point I bet he celebrated like one of us. He's part of this club even when at Madrid, he's just a supporter in a managerial role and a super manager at that.

I think you got it wrong, mate.

He says 'now' because now he's coming back to the team as fan and when he first joined us in 2004 he wasn't a fan.

He didn't become a Chelsea fan while he was on Inter on RM. He became a Chelsea fan while he stayed with us the first time.

I think it's pretty obvious the now in that sentence means this because the question is a comparison of what he promised in his first interview when he arrived here and what would he promise now.

He said the promise is the same, the difference compared to that first interview and this one is that now he is a Blue fan.

I think he'll go with 4-2-3-1

Cech

Azpi - Terry (if he's healthy, otherwise Cahill) - Mangala (or any new CB) - Cole

Luiz - Ramires (or new DM)

Oscar - Mata - Hazard

Cavani

I believe Essien and Lampard will start a few matches, rotating with Ramires or Oscar.

I think he'll also bring Kevin to the starting XI on occasion and given how the kid answers he may start in more matches

The alternative would be a 4-3-2-1

Cech

Azpi - Luiz - Mangala (or any new CB) - Cole

Oscar - Essien - Ramires

Mata - Hazard

Cavani

Here I can see Kevin rotating with Oscar and Lampard with Essien

edit: it seems I can't do right or left - I really can't, and I'm too lazy to edit the whole thing, so yeah, invert the left and right backs and wingers.

Maybe not next year but after working on the positionnal sense, I could see Oscar and KDB the two more advanced players in a 3 man midfield.

Oscar would not need much work with his background in Brazil and the way he played in the olympics.

KDB It would just be a matter of calming him down a little bit, being more effective in defense with less running by being in a better position in the beginning.
