The Mourinho Thread

[Melanicus 5,208]

I think avb is better than mourihno now. Game seems to of gone past mourihno and he seems mentally ill now. Doubt hes our coach next season

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....

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.

Merged that post with this thread..

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.

My biggest concern is that Mou is not attacking minded coach, but Mata, Hazard etc would play best under someone who is. As for midfielder, we are over loaded in CAM/LW/RW, but we should buy hard working DM Witsel/Vidal/...instead of Willian.

Hope I am wrong, but I want Chelsea to play attacking football; something nice to watch and Mou wont be able to give that. He will bring trophies etc, but for the cost of attractive game.

Just dont want us to do an Arsenal.Play decent pretty pretty football and yet spend every season trying to finish 4th and not reslly get anywhere with the football played.Find a balance between the two that works and brings result etc which hopefully can do

I think the supposed "attractive game" is over-rated. Arsenal back in 2009 and Barcelona for me aren't even pleasing on the eye to me, i think passing the ball around in traingles isn't that good to watch and personally i love watching teams who will force opponents into submission (Chelsea 2005-2010, Madrid).

I hate this perception of good football, there's a lot more ways of good football than just tika taka.

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Espically when its just pass...pass..pass...pass...oh look we lost the ball and they just scored woops! Oh well it was good to watch while it lasted

Even worse when the opposition try taking the moral ground, like in 2009-2010, we battered Arsenal twice with great defense and brutal counter attacking football, they hardly create a chance of real note in 180 minutes, but were trying to claim the moral victory because they played more short passes and triangles

I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE COMPARING MOURINHO TO THIS SCUMBAG AVB?!!!!?!111!!! MOURINHO IS THE BEST COACH IN THE WORLD AND HE SHOULD STAY IN CHELSEA FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personaly I dont like Barca either, but Bayern last season is example of how world class football team plays. Direct offensive football with fight to score as many goals as possible. They scored 3/4/5 goals per game on regular basis. And yes tiki taka is shit, but Bayern last year or Real Madrid in 2000s is what we should try to play. I remember that Bayern multiple problems couple seasons ago, but they improved and didnt spend realy big, I hope we can do the same.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

And also nice football wins you many more new fans. I remember last season there was more neutral people who liked chelsea than this year! Main reason was Mata who is now on bench but as team we played more offensive though.

[Blue Warrior 109]

Keep the faith, have patience. One bad result does not make a season. We are lucky to have the second coming of the Best manager in the world. In terms of entertainment I preferred Ancelottis style of play. Lets look objectively when we are 10 games in. AVB is a chronic underachiever who talks about style of football over substance.

[zolayes 14,489]

I didn't really expect the "Jose OUT" campaign to start so soon ,,,,another month and it will be "We want Rodgers or Martinez or BRING BACK RAFA"

[1chelsea 864]

What are all this shit spraying on here. Think about it if all 20 shot was on target you then be smiling right. I will kill who bash this man his not the one who miss those shot, what I expect is you guys talking on how he could talk them through on hitting the target and you think avb is better and his making wrong decisions?? I bet you all enjoy the match but was not happy with the lack of goals but seriously that a good match apart for the not scoring thing but some of you who saw man-u game know if we played like that you will shoot the sun down that game is shit but they scored that the difference............. I love the action on the game and want snipers to do their work at best

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Win some you loose some...it happens!!Aint nothing new espically us loosing to the likes of Everton.Aint a diaster we havent just lost the league because of it.The other top teams have lost as well and its only a few games in!
