The Mourinho Thread

[Rmpr 8,977]

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!

[Jase 43,479]

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

Oh... Well this is awkward...

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.

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

nvm

someone already answered you

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

I thought the same .... He confuses constant pressing, going up in numbers and be dominant, falling back when not in possession and hitting them hard on the counter with 'reactive'. Quite wrong tbh ....

If anything, it is called being 'agentic' which I very much prefer as a term.

[sutro 1,026]

All other teams/fans hate him but deep inside they ALL would love to have him!

[Stingray 9,441]

All other teams would like to have him deep inside !

That sounds very, very wrong ......
