The Mourinho Thread

[Tomo 21,733]

I wouldn't worry about that, he got portrayed as a bit of a mercenary cunt,

Mainly by United fans, which is quite ironic considering how Rooney' only still there because they made him the highest paid player in English football history.

Maybe he will sign a 400k p/w deal soon, really confirm his love for United.

The master has done it again

???

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Next 8 games are:

Swansea home

Liverpool home

Southampton away

Hull away

MU home

West Ham home

City away

Newcastle home

Surely parking the bus is only possible for that City game? If you guys believe any of those game we should be playing defensively then you might as well point out now so we won't have a argument like tonight again. In 2 months we can look back at this post and all the initial expectations then compare it to the real situation. Maybe Liverpool game we could be a bit cautious after scoring because they got one of the best player in the world and most inform player in the world atm.

You are the worst person on this entire forum.

The mods should give us all a Christmas present and ban you. You know nothing about football and represent nothing of the Chelsea that we all love.

CELEBRATE its been done the 3 wise men have given us 4 gifts Gold Frankie sense and even merhr much merr a ban on the troll

Tough run in, you can't please everyone. I am happy with the fighting spirit shown by the team, all you want to feel is the players went out and gave it there all. Inches either way and Super Frank makes it a diff game. In Mourinho we trust.

Well done Mods.

Now Bushman next please.

What happened with those guys?

[Fernando 6,453]

The problem for him is will Roman accept this type of football in the long term? Hundreds of millions of pounds of attacking talent all for us to aim for draws against the big teams. It may work for now but soon he could be falling out with the owner like last time when he got more negative with his tactics.

I thought about this before, but then I have to ask myself does it makes sense that they went apart the first time knowing how he was just to get back the same men?

If you accept him back is because you are willing to take the whole package.

They where divorced and after many years realize they couldn't live with out each other, so they re married.

To me it seems more like a marriage of conviernence. We needed a manager but no one else was around, while Jose appeal to other clubs went down after the Madrid fiasco, so we pretty much had no choice but to try it again.

Problem for me is that I feel it will not end happily.

Nostradamus called and he wants his predictions back

[HD3D 1,038]

I don't think even the trolls in this forum feel skeptical about the fact that Chelsea is 2 or 3 key signings away from being a force to be reckoned with at an international level.

We have a very young squad and to be honest I think it's doing quite well considering all the flaws that it has.

Hopefully the board won't grow impatient, and will actually have some faith in this project. It will pay off.

Well done Mods.

Now Bushman next please.

I never thought i would say this, but Bushman is well off the radar right now, if this thread and the match thread is anything to go by.

[Barbara 15,149]

I wouldn't worry about that, he got portrayed as a bit of a mercenary cunt, but he's the complete opposite. The myth he wants to join Madrid is just a blown out of proportion quote from his Lille days when he got asked what his dreamclub would be, combined with Zidane's continuous praise. He's here and I don't see no reason for him wanting to go.

The guy wanted to play Champions League... what's wrong with that? How people can get the idea he's a mercenary just because among the many options he had, he stuck with one would give him UCL football as a mercenary? Those guys have dreams, they aren't on this only for the money... so the fact he wanted to play UCL football and it weighted on his decision proves the opposite imo. If he wanted only money he'd go wherever paid him more and end of story. Instead he wanted to go to a team that gave him the chance to play one of the biggest competitions in the world. Hardly a mercenary decision imo...

As for him wanting to go to RM... well I think any player would like to play in Bayern, Barcelona and RM nowadays simply because those clubs have better chances at winning the biggest titles at stake. RM is now struggling to settle with Carlo's tactics, but in a season from now if Perez doesn't fire him (or he decides to quit), they'll be back on track. Then it's down to the player's personal preference and I don't know Hazard well enough to say how much playing in a superior team (squad wise) in a less competitive league (competing with 'only Barça' and every 3 years some wonder team like Valencia two years ago and now Atletico).

Mourinho is praising him constantly and seems adamant to give him plenty of chances... I wonder if part of it isn't a strategy to gain his trust and club loyalty (or manager loyalty) in addition to trying to give him confidence, ofc.

Still can't believe people blame Jose for a draw. We had at least 4-5 clear opportunites to score against probably the best Arsenal team in 8 years..It could have easily ended 3-0 to us. Like Jose said, we need to get our defence right and the goals will come. ...

The hunger in defence i saw today took me back to the Chelsea of old. I'm proud of the boys..

Have patience my lads and remember, it's a marathon not a sprint

[Strike 7,217]

I'm fine with games like this. Lot of Chelsea's big games have been away from home - Spurs, United, Arsenal, Everton. In the second half of the season, there'll be the home games and Chelsea always tend to put the opposition under pressure at home. A midfielder in January and things should improve

Exactly. We defended AS A TEAM. All 11 guys getting back and then working their bollocks off to get forward and support the attack. We seemed to want to be first to every ball, be it Mikel's tackle on Arteta or Lampard getting to the knockdown first for a shot.

This was a great foundation that we need to build on. The lack of a clinical striker is all to clear though and we need that threat up front to keep defences honest, but last night's team was the type of team that can scare oppositions.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

I'm just kinda happy and amazed we kept a clean sheet!Didnt mange to against random sides but Arsenal who seemed to been scoring every chance recently we managed it.
