The Mourinho Thread

[Special Juan 27,424]

What?!

That was shortly after City cut us open down the left (their right), he was telling Hazard to watch for the runners when they doubled up on us.

Looked like he was playing charades, tbh

The picture of José celebrating, is that after the goal or after the final whistle?

This is not José celebrating, this i José after Nastasic didn't saw the red card...

Oh... Well this is awkward...

I'm not sure why, but this has me in hysterics!

Talk about nailing the team selection and tactics...

That is why Jose is the best, he can think outside of the box and win those crucial matches!

That, I believe, was the celebration at the final whistle. He did that before shaking hands with Pellegrini.

José Mourinho and Chelsea's remarkable tactical transformation

[Barbara 15,149]

sorry, but that game was drawn because nothing we could do would change that

I disagreed with some of Mourinho's choices (especially the subs and the time he took) but we could have played the entire squad for 5 days and that 0 wouldn't be removed from there. Let's take a moment to recognize WHU defended flawless there... we were unlucky, didn't have the players to finish it for us (something we never do anyway) and despite Mourinho's minor mistakes, I don't think he earned to be judged by that result... his mistakes were minor compared to the greatness of WHU defense skills in that match

I can't agree with this. West Ham definitely defended well, but in the last 10 minutes we came within inches of scoring multiple times, with perhaps the biggest chance right at the end when Lampard missed a sitter. In retrospect Mourinho was definitely too slow to make changes, but hindsight is 20/20 and Jose was probably confident we would break them down with the players we had on the pitch. I imagine he was worried about a freak goal on the counter as well because it was clear we weren't going to bang in a lot of goals. We created the chances, we just didn't take them. With better finishing that game was ours.

But that's what I meant anyway. Mourinho's mistakes weren't the reason we drew but their defensive skills and our already known and old inability to score. His mistakes were minor imo.

Video of Sky Sport's analysis of last night's game if you wanna relive the build up etc

I am very happy to say Mourinho proved all of my 'negative' criticism wrong last night. But the question now is, why didn't we see this earlier in the season?

Do u guys believe Mou on the whole "little horse" thing or do u think he's just playing mind games ?

IMO he's being honest about it. He knows we have a chance but he still favores City or Arsenal to win it and his main ambition is to prepare the team to winning the title next season.

as long as City keeps banging 5 goals a game they are the big horse and we are the little horse...so he's right to favour them and keep us as underdogs.

José Mourinho and Chelsea's remarkable tactical transformation

the author tried to make it look as though we were 'reactive' last night, he went on and on about how the 'old' Mourinho is back after the Sunderland league cup defeat and that its 'OK' and people should appreciate his tactics... a very misleading article to what Jose is really trying to do, IMO

City are still favourites ,,with Arsenal he is just teasing Wenger
