The Mourinho Thread

[polo 18]

de bruyne or oscar or schurrle it's the same thing . EVERTON 1 CHELSEA 0

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Im starting to doubt in decision of appointing Mou.

We play defensive football

He benched Mata, Azpi

He didnt bought proper striker and midfielder

He bought Willian for 30mio despite already having several players in that position (Kdb, Hazard, Oscar, Mata, Moses, Schurrle)

He loaned out Moses and Lukaku

He isnt giving Kdb enough playtime

Our team looks lost in games

We dont play attractive football

---

I hope it was just everton game, but overall we have team that can play brilliant attacking football and Mourinho is blocking that. Why should we stop with lead 1-0 when we can score couple more?? So far, I blame Mou for not playing attractive football, not trusting our young players and benching Mata/prefering Oscar instead.

TELL me any other manager with the IMAGINATION ( and balls ) to take off a world class LB and replace him with a dodgy striker. THAT is why Jose is the "ONLY ONE"

I wouldn't call that imagination. Bringing on a past-it striker was always a stupid move.

Everton were probably pleased when they saw Torres come on...cause they know he's useless most of the time.

We'll be champions.

1- Today he replaced a RB with a CF.

2- Azi is far from being a superb full back, Ivanovic was always the best option.

3/4- Etoo is a fine striker, and you said we have many players in position, so why are you talking about not buying a proper midfielder?

4- Moses was shit and Lukaku is raw.

5- Kdb is not a world class player, so not giving him enough playtime is not a sin.

People starting to doubt Jose already? Brilliant.

[Barbara 15,149]

a summary of what he said by the end of the match. I agree with most. He did made a mistake with the André sub imo. Something any manager in the world does once in a while. Some more often than not.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

I remember that time he bought on Ivanovic for Azpilicueta when we were chasing a game!

Yea. like- for- like subs we're our thing back then.

Now its 5-3-2 from 4-2-3-1..Thats one of the positive points from the last match- the versatility in our attack with a strong defense. Everton just got lucky yesterday

[TrippingStep 336]

Why does he play a backline with Terry and Ivanovic as right back.

I'm still disappointed we didn't give a chance at Benitez as we had a good foundation and two three players, one striker, central midfielders, the loanees back and we could have challenged for the title this year.

There was much more dynamism in our back 6 last year, more movements, players pushing to break midfield oppositon line, opening angle passes, more triangles, good patterns in the runs to stretch defenses.

I knew what the plan was during the matches, this year I have not this feeling so far. Just more caution, waiting game like against Manchester United where it was boring to see us not trying to attack them.

1 defeat and AVB is suddenly better than Mourinho?! He's lost it and mentally ill?!!

[Laylabelle 9,388]

Hard to compare Jose and AVB......We've only played what 5 games?Spurs win yesterday was the first without having to rely on pens to get a result....

[sainttourist 68]

I just hope he stays for 4-5 years at least, it will mean some overall evolution to the club and everyone around. Some ppl just got this obsession from our recent past, that if we not win, we need radical changes and the manager is the first victim. When Jose came, I thought people will act smarter and judge his work proper, knowing who he is.

After watching everton and chelsea match yesterday i wounder has jose lost the plot.His substitutions were puzzling bringing on another 30 plus player lampard as he has played a number of matches lately and travelled with the england team to ukraine surely there were more younger and fresher players on the bench to come on?.Lampard has being a great player for chelsea but now he is being overplayed at this moment in his mid thirties also there seemed to be a sign of desperation in taking off ashley cole and putting on two strikers also why? is azpilicueta not playing at right back instead of ivanovic as he is most suited to centre back instead of that error prone luiz.

Why buy young talented players and never play them they will become disillusioned with the club surely he is not going to throw them on in a champions league match as the time to try them out is the premier league? I think jose needs to take a hard look at the old guard and figure out are they really up to it now.

True blue since the late sixties.
