The Mourinho Thread

[Laylabelle 9,535]

That's how it should be.nor stopping every few.mins for minor things

Its's annoying when the ref gets the headlines

[LDN Blue 7,903]

What you think?

If I could..

He was in that moment where the season was crumbling and he came and salvaged it. Got us a trophy and qualification for CL despite intense hatred from fans. Short term, yes.

Long term, Mourinho is much better for us. Benitez doesn't have the experience or knowledge on winning a league, he's a cup specialist shown by his exploits in Spain, with Liverpool and ourselves. He crumbles under pressure and begins mind games he cannot hope to win. In the long term we'll have more trophies than Benitez could have granted us.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

the problem is that we're losing out on the title to Liverpool, if it was City i don't think you'd see anywhere near the moaning that's going on now

i would consider this season a success if it was City who were winning the league, but since Liverpool are 5 points above us, makes it look like a complete failure

Yeah but it's undeniable that Liverpool have deserved to be where they are. They've outscored everyone and are currently unbeaten in 11 matches. I hate that they'll win the league, but I don't think this season it's a real shame we let them get this far.

The hate gang is back on. I am gonna have ball tomorrow night when they go back into hiding.

LDN,

Liverpoops deserve fuck all. They were helped by the refs since December as soon as the cunts at the FA could see them winning the PL trophy. It will help us all, just watch their games sometime.

Mourinho is surely going to play a 4-4-2 next season, or a 4-1-3-2.

I think he has learnt that times have changed from his previous stint at Chelsea.

The truth is that your midfield can only do their bit with goals, and that too only for a certain amount of time. Over the season they cant keep doing it.

Having only one striker in the team also means that the other striker will not be top class, and is too much of a risk nowdays with injuries, suspensions etc., as the nature of the game has changed from before.

Having two world class strikers in your team means one thing : GOALS!

Even if one gets injured, the machine keeps moving forward.

Add to that, the fact that the midfield will not be under pressure to score all the time, and that keeps them inclined to play for the team, rather than go for stupid solo efforts alot of times , as we have seen later in this season.

I truly believe the game has moved forward, and specifically for us, it will benefit us tremendously.

Rooney - Costa ?

Costa - Lukaku ?

Cavani - Costa ?

The honest and exciting truth this transfer window will be : what exactly Jose decides to do. There are a good amount of options and a great chance to change our clubs philosophy to move in a different direction.

I believe in a 2 striker system and formation will take us up so many notches, its too exciting to think about.

4-1-3-2 allows us to keep the 3 behind the striker the same as we have had, keeping the continuity.

Matic owns the Pivot position.

Defense is phenomenal already.

Its just the 2 upfront.

Jose, Please do this!!!!

[Roquila 1,335]

It's just not going our way. Petr Cech getting a virus when we needed him, referees, Oscar and Ramires not in form... I really thought we could win the PL but it just wasn't ment to be.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Where did I see he was responsible for it? Yes we didn't take our chances but if we had a proper referee we wouldn't have lost the game either.

Conspiracy. Even I can say that I'm sure Mike Riley has told all the referee's to favor Liverpool and make sure teams against Chelsea get penalties.

That was low and uncalled for. I didn't say anything about magic, I just put myself in that situation. Would love to know how you logically came to that conclusion that I saw ''magic'' in every little thing he does.

How was he responsible for our loss though? Because he gave Sunderland a penalty even I thought it happened at first glance? Remember the ref doesnt have 3 different replays to make sure!!!

Of course it is a conspirancy. Have I said I have proof to begin with? Despite Foy, all other refereees had a neutral jury regarding Chelsea this season. There was no reason for Rui Faria to go all nuts at the ref because he didnt do anything wrong.

Everything Mourinho says and does is miracously applauded, despite it being wrong. That is where my conclusion comes from...

[Yeboii 1,844]

The ref gave them an undeserved penalty, that's what he did wrong. This was a real title decider and it looks like Rui Faria really loves Chelsea (at least while he works here) so he went mental. A proper coach and a legend after that. José would have gone mental as well if it didn't mean that he would be sent to the stands for the remainder of the season along with a huge fine.

An undeserved penalty? Look at the replay and where the ref was. Even I thought it was penalty before the replay. And only after a few different angles I realised Azi didnt actually touched him. It was never a deliberate mistake. They had no fault for the result!

Mourinho didnt prepare the team properly, especially when picking Rambo to start. Oscar deserves a slap in his baby face so he can wake up. Ivanovic cant cross. Dave was asleep. Schwazer isnt a proper keeper. Etc. I'm fucking mad at everybody. I'm furious. Good thing I dont live in England now!

The game ended 1-2 because we were incompetent. We were incompetent, not the refs...

EDIT: Like Jaime Redknapp said, blaming the referees is stupid. We are being bad losers. If we want to blame someone, let's blame ourselves.

He's not wholly responsible for our loss. But he did infact play a huge part in it. We aren't helping ourselves with what we have upfront but the referee's don't have to make matters worse. The wrong penalty, Matic/Terry's goal, the hand-ball incident and Rami's red. Pathetic officiating. Replay's aren't there is a whole different topic altogether when you've seen referee's get such calls right before. What makes it worse is that it hasn't happened just once.

Rui Faria went 'nuts' for a simple reason that everything seemed to go against us. Right now he's at home thinking about how stupid he was. Hindsight. As I said, put myself in his place. I would have ripped a seat and thrown at him, only to feel guilty later. It's human nature. All well and good to say something about a person in that situation while we sit here, but what he did was passionate. It showed how much he cared. Once again I'm not saying what he did was right, but at the point of moment, it didn't seem wrong either.

People don't like his PC's, I get it. There are different kinds of people. I on the other hand know where it's coming from. A lot of past managers have used it. Paisley and Clough prime examples. That's where Jose gets his tribalism from. There was that documentary called " Blue Revolution", if IIRC, Mark Lipton talked about it quite well. That's why I understand why older Chelsea fans, especially those who have witnessed the pre-Abramovich era, connect with Jose so much. We aren't going to criticize objectively, that's just not what club-supporting fans do.

LDN,

We are not in a position to make such accusations when we ourselves have benefited from countless dodgy decisions over the course of the season.

It also helps that they have a strict attacking philosophy that helps them dispatch most teams, especially the bottom feeders, with ease. something our multi million pound squad seem incapable of doing all season.

claiming the most entertaining team in the league, with most point (that's what would happen if they win the league) and on course to finish with historic goal record is just sour grapes at this point and this is coming from someone that hates Liverpool passionately. any team that finishes with the most amount of point in the end always deserves to win it.

next time we should learn how to break down packed defenses and actually beat the teams we should be beating like pool have done all season and perhaps we wouldn't need to resort to bitterness because we had be busy celebrating winning the league instead.

[DanAdibi! 106]

I see some people praising Rui Faria for showing 'passion', to me that was truly unprofessional and lacked class. There are many ways to show passion, screaming (putting it nicely) at the fourth official and referee isn't one of them. It got to the point where Mourinho had to drag him away, honestly it was embarrassing to watch.

Football is an emotional game.

I don't know what I would have done in his situation, but hell I was about to punch Mike Dean from my TV screen, so I think I'll excuse him.

[Yeboii 1,844]

It wasn't just the penalty, but the penalty was the last straw for Faria I guess. Completely understandable as the ref was making calls against us for much of the match. I was pissed and I can see why Rui went mad, I'm really surprised/impressed that the players (especially players like Ivanovic and Terry) kept their cool.

It's amazing how people are pinning the defeat on the referee when instead they should be directing the criticism at the manager who's responsible for tactics and picking the team and the players themselves for their lack of quality i,e terrible decision making in the final third, misplaced passes galore, slow ponderous, unimaginative passing in the final third that's extremely easy to defend against etc.

if we came out roaring with high intensity, relentless attacking pressure and created plenty of clear cut chances, barring luck of epic proportions, we would have won the game. instead we played like shit and want to blame the referee for our incompetence.

No one watching that game would have thought we were title contenders and that a lot was at stake with such performance.

It's called Professionalism.

[bushman 2,043]

Den,

Give up, find yourself another club to criticize, Chelsea is not for you.

[Special Juan 28,141]

I blame us for the defeat, without a shadow of doubt, but should these refs be allowed to continue game after game without punishment, yet managers speaking out get punished heavily?

I am not just talking about our game but across the board and across the season. The consistency of officiating this season alone has been pathetic and teams all over are punished for incompetence….is that OK? I don't think so, and whilst managers are told to reign it in and accept a fuck off big fine what exactly is done about bad officiating?

[lionsden 4,689]

Den,

Give up, find yourself another club to criticize, Chelsea is not for you.

And as predicted you avoid the actual argument and instead resort to insult since you have no sound counter argument. true mark of an intellectual midget.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Professionalism doesn't win football games. After the PSG game we were all praising the team for their passion! Passion can win football games.

Football isn't an office building, professionalism is thrown down the drain if it means that you could win a title without it.
