bushman 2,043 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 In Jose we trust, was seen here just about 2 months ago. Now, folks are in doubt about his lineups ?In my view, it´s too early to tell what he´s gonna do. One thing, I know for sure Jose ain´t infallible as we all thought.The summer transfers are the biggest shortcomings on this team, I feel.Two good players were shipped out, but two meaningless signings were brought in.Patience is needed here. Come December, we may see drastic changes on the team, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Lets calm down here mourinho is still a great manager. No need to start with the sacking terms alreadyPersonally, I wouldn´t use those words as " Jose is great." Jose always had plenty of money at his disposal to buy top players. The cream of the crop & he won with them. When he won PL with Chelsea Roman spent around 150m on players. Those days, the other teams were no match, then. Today, plenty of teams bought players & are even better equipped than Chelsea. Let´s see how Jose deals with it. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Freak 456 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 why i use great is that, if jose aint great, then no other manager is greatwhat about the older managers (began coaching before José) who are considered great?Examples: Jupp Henckyes, HiddinkJose is great...but there are other managers who are also great.

Arief 40 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 We need a real striker, the man who can score goals when the opposite team parked their bus. As simple as that.Too bad we didnt get one on summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 You can go on about the team needing time to gel and stuff but a loss to a side like Basel in such an embarrassing way is not acceptable at all. Even at our lowest of lows we should manage to beat them, even if it means relying on a moment of genuine class from one of our players (which the likes of Hazard and Oscar should be capable of).A side like Basel? They put on a better performance than anyone in the PL would 90% of the time. There is absolutely no shame in loosing to a side that played as well as Basel did yesterday. Very disappointing, but not at all embarrassing. SinineUltra, Ankit and 1chelsea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 why i use great is that, if jose aint great, then no other manager is greatAs I explain above. Greatness is too strong of a word to be used for Jose, in my opinion.Better than good, perhaps ? Jose was fortunate to come to Chelsea when Roman took over & spent millions. Jose acquired a reputation of a winning coach. Then he proved it in Italy, but partially failed at Real. Success has been very generous to him, but as I said moneybag owners came by & suddenly Jose has a real challenge ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should have gotten someone like Pellegrini as our team is young in construction and needed of a philosophy. A philosophy that is that of an attacking coach, something Roman wants. At this point I'm not sure what we will get. I'm actually worried that Mourinho counter attacking mentality is not suited for the players we got. A good manager is supposed to bring the best out of your players and Mata our best players for the last two season is now total useless.......

Chelsea were lackluster & Swiss cheeses pounce on it. Completely disagree. Basel in the first half were nothing short of brilliant. They kept their shape, defending incredibly well and didn't put a foot in wrong. In the second half they had go forward and leave spaces at the back and they made the most of their chances unlike us. Fair play to them for trying to get the second goal after the equalizer instead of just sitting back to defend a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just new their jobs. Our players are still learning their roles and mistakes will happen. With practice and time the execution of these ideas should improve, but it's going to be a bumpy ride.Anyone not prepared for that might as well jump off now.

Anyone not prepared for that might as well jump off now. Basel knew their roles and played as a cohesive unit as did Everton. Yes it will be a rollercoaster for a while and ignoring specific issues with the formation, players and manager (and there are several), we are where we deserve to be because of shoddy planning at more senior levels. Lack of a cohesive management structure, lack of a cohesive player recruitment structure, lack of a cohesive player progression structure (youth -> first team In Jose we trust..

I'm not sure if Mourinho is the man for that job. He's counter attacking instincts might not be the best for players like Mata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 In Mourinho's first season with chelsea, while results were good, Mourinho's first few games established a narrative that would persist to this very day. Slow, strong, compact, tight - boring, boring Chelsea we were. José's first nine league matches in charge saw four 1-0 victories, two 0-0 draws, a 2-0, a 2-1, and finally a surprise defeat (the one and only league defeat that season) away to a pre-riches Manchester city. Lots of points but really not much inspiration.But right now in mourinho's 2nd spell with chelsea, Ignoring the Champions League for a moment and if you squint a little bit, this year's results mirror that season's semi-closely so far. We've had a 2-0 and a 2-1 already, followed by a 0-0 and that classic 1-0 away shock defeat.Patience, it took 9 league matches in his first season for us to finally become superb.

Ainsley Harriott 2,732 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 And not to mention, the attacking trio behind the ST have been constantly changing. vs Hull - Hazard/Oscar/De Bruynevs Villa - Hazard/Oscar/Matavs Man Utd - Hazard/Oscar/De Bruynevs Bayern - Hazard/Oscar/Schurrlevs Everton - Hazard/Mata/Schurrlevs Basel - Hazard/Oscar/WillianFunny because the only time the team was clicking was under the first trio...
