The Mourinho Thread

[Eligius 121]

Mourinho needs to play either Willian or Ramires each game (maybe Oscar).

The amount of grass they cover is crucial to our defense.

We didnt lose because of our defence, we lost because we couldnt score.

we lost because our fullbacks were getting abused....

Only a UCL final will save Mourinho first season from being a failure.

Well the way we play against top team makes me feel that could happen.

The system we are using is great for team that attack us. But we are shit against team that give us the ball. We could pull a miracle like we did with rdm.

i think our am's have to improve their intelligence in making decisions in final third...we have to be smart,fast and slick in the final third that is how we beat these park the bus teams next season they will improve a lot....full backs are not providing any width with azpilicueta sitting back even though ivanovic is going forward his crossing is poor.....last but the important thing is buying a striker this summer!!

There won't be a single doubt about Jose being at the club if we don't win anything this season. That in it self gives us stability and the players won't get a second chance (like Kalou, Malouda, Torres etc in the past), certain players here have thrived from perceived 'fresh starts'.

[Fernando 6,453]

"You have Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill and Azpilicueta and they perform in the sun, in the rain, small pitches, big pitches, aggressive teams, non-aggressive teams and they perform every game from day one to the last day. And you have other players who are fantastic in some matches and disappear in other matches."

Assuming he's talking about the attacking players like Torres, Hazard etc..

Not Hazard. Willian, Oscar, Schurrle and Torres

Not Hazard? Hazard has been inconsistent at this times. Has had his moments and run of games where he performed but other consecutive run of games where he doesn't, like the last few for instance.

I think Torres needs no mention. Every one and their moms knew how shit Torres was at the beginning of the season.

But mourinho and the club incompetent kept him here. And because of that we suffered greatly.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

His a bit arrogant with his team selection at times, did not see the reason to start with 433 today

[robsblubot 3,502]

I disagree Oscar's form has been very consistent. Consistently poor in the last two months or so, but he is never a player to shine in one match just to vanish in the next. The reason for Oscar's consistent poor form might be known within chelsea... I say this because he hasn't been used much lately as if they won't even try to get him to improve by giving him a sequence.

Get a life man. Support your team for once instead of constantly making stupid comments.

Mourinho was asked about Torres's performance, he replied something like "I only talk about individuals when they play really well". Clearly he isnt happy with Torres, which is a great sign!

[Shakez 755]

Not Hazard. Willian, Oscar, Schurrle and Torres

Willian didn't even play today. The only match he participated in from the start is WBA away (1-1 draw). Look how he made an exception for the Aston Villa away game.

He's also very specific about player's "profile". Players that are exceptional 1 match and rubbish the next. Easy to find those players imo...

But tbh, José made the wrong match setup. Oscar should've started from the beginning.

[Jase 43,479]

Benitez has fired back at Mourinho after his comments yesterday about us having a bad season last term..

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/top-stories/Rafael-Benitez-hits-back-at-Jose-Mourinho/articleshow/32917053.cms

"He speaks a lot about people - I like to talk about the facts," Benitez said.

"At Liverpool we eliminated his Chelsea from the Champions League with a team that cost half as much as his side."

"He had an extremely strong Real Madrid and never did anything in Europe. Maybe if they sell (Eden) Hazard and Oscar for hundreds of millions he will succeed in winning something,"

[CHOULO19 24,332]

LOL But he's got a point. I think that is what we lacked most today. The characters to get points even when the team isn't playing too well.
