The Mourinho Thread

[Mouri_Matic 560]

One thing we can agree on is how competitive the Premier League is this season. I honestly believe 75 points could win the title. I think that's something we have to take into consideration - this league is ridiculously unpredictable.

Crazy thing is by the end of next Sat, we could be only 1 point behind Arsenal. That is how crazy it is.

This does have the air of a 'best of the bad bunch' title winning season.

We were much more in control of the game till we made those subs.

I disagree. Stoke grew in confidence in the second half because we weren't solid defensively.

We lost control of the game when we conceded the first IMO.

But I agree with the rest of your post, Mourinho was trying to win it, and like you said it didn't work... But as I've said before we shouldn't have to put him in that situation to begin with.

Tbf, Arsenal have been the only consistent team this year and it's why they're on top.

I'm just hoping us and probably City hit that consistency too - that's when the title race will get interesting.

So easy to say in hindsight that he got it wrong with the subs today, I disagree. The subs were okay, it was a reaction to our defenders and GK having a nightmare and putting the team in that situation when we should've been comfortable.

I don't think Jose did much wrong today.

Absolutely agree. How much more can a manager do in a match? The team were completely in control in that first half..and things should have stayed that way if it were not for that blunder by the keeper.

This kind of result takes the attention away from so many of the positives. Schurrle, and of course, Hazard. Eden was unplayable for nearly two thirds of the match, and could have presented us with a host of opportunities if Chelsea still had the lead at half time.

Stoke were completely losing the midfield battle, especially in the first half. Though they did gain confidence after scoring the second, but they were helped a lot by us having a man less in midfield when we brought on Eto'o for Schurle and taking off Mikel who was a vital part of our press in the first half and at recycling possession. When we lost control over the midfield we never looked like scoring.

I think City have already triggered their "ON" switch...Its time for Chelsea to do the same. December could be the most crucial point in this season.

Such comments are laughable really. One week, we play well, win comfortably and they say we will challenge for the title. We look strong and going in the right direction bla bla bla. Lose one game like this and it's suddenly 'Chelsea are in crisis' or 'Chelsea are in trouble'. Pathetic!

Well people are ridiculous.

I been saying it, this team is inconsistent. One game we play good and the next we play bad.

We are not ready for anything till we are more consistent with our ways.

For me Arsenal will put their hands on the trophy if they end the year with a 7 points gap on top of the table.

Cant blame Jose for the result today.

if Jose loses out to Wenger in the title race, it would be an epic failure for him

Especially if you compare the 2 squads and the amount of money being spent by us and them.

Eto for Schurrle was the moment i knew we wont win anymore. Schurrle was injured but we lost the midfield after that.

Cant blame mourinho, how could he expect cahill, azpi, cech and especially eto to be complete shit

Cech just looks more vulnerable for some reason..

I wouldn't mind seeing Schwarzer getting a game from time to time..

[The_Flash 1,144]

The strikers were terrible yet again, particularly Etoo giving the ball away for their winner.

Terrible defensively, Jose must change the team!!!

Sorry for being abit off topic but......

bahahahaha

[The_Flash 1,144]

I love that video but we lost too

[bushman 2,043]

Today, I read Jose slams misfiring striker trio who have been outscored two times over by on-loan Lukaku.

Finally, Jose woke up. How about if he were to slam himself for loaning out Lukaku & bringing in shitty Eto´o, not selling BA or Torres ?

All three didn´t manage so much as a SHOT on target yesterday, scored 4 fucking goals between them all season.

Excuses & more excuses I read. We attacked, mentality of the team is improving....etc. Meanwhile, no one is scoring apart from Oscar & an old Frank, plus defenders.

In January, do something, a correction must be made to what Jose already fucked up. Get two proven players who can score, get rid of BA or Torres, KDB poor guy is just sitting on the bench with tears in his eyes.

Otherwise, by the end of February Chelsea is fighting for top 4 places just to qualify for CL.
