gary gordon 1,777 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 One thing your wrong is that the transition period started after the double from Carlo.The following season we started to get rid of players and trying to implement youth.That didn't work so we just bought youth with potential.So we really been in transition for a couple of years now.What has not helped is the changing of managers.Don't forget, we still had Drogba, Malouda in form, Lampard, Ash and Terry IMO in their peak and Anelka who was very underrated at Chelsea.The current team is way weaker then the one that was given to Carlo and AVB. Let's not forget how well we started 2010-2011. We were knocking in goals for fun. It all went downhill the second Ray Wilkins got sacked. I honestly think Carlo inherited the strongest Chelsea team ever and then AVB fucked it up. Then came Liverpool's secret Agent Benitez who talked us into selling them Sturridge.We've had some real fucking morons at the helm for years and now that we have the best manager in the world, idiot's are still complaining. Give me one striker like Didi and we win everything this season. Blue Traveler and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary gordon 1,777 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It was also rdm fault because he chose Torres over sturridge!RDM chose nothing. He was an errand boy following orders and was given no hope in hell of managing Chelsea FC. His job was over before it even started. The way we treated him and the way some fans still treat him is atrocious. The man is a legend in my opinion.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Real Madrid right-back Alvaro Arbeloa has given an insight into how Jose Mourinho went about imposing his authority when he became Real Madrid coach in summer 2010. Mourinho's time at Madrid came to a bitter end last year as he ended his final season without a major trophy amid widespread talk of dressing room unrest. Spain international Arbeloa -- who was, along with Xabi Alonso, said to be one of the players to have retained support the Portuguese -- said the former Inter Milan manager had shaken things up when taking over from Manuel Pellegrini. "We understood who Mou was one day at preseason," the former Liverpool defender told Spanish magazine Jot Down. "The Spanish players were coming from being the world champions and we joined up in Los Angeles. We played a game there against LA Galaxy and at halftime we were 2-0 down. "The roars that came out of his mouth -- at everyone. He did not save anyone. We learned very quickly who Mou was. You could not imagine Pellegrini shouting like that at Cristiano [Ronaldo]. "We remembered that talk a lot. He said: 'You do not want to run? No problem for me -- the bench. You neither? No problem for me -- you're out.' It did not matter who it was -- a world champion, or Kaka, or a youth teamer." By the end of his three years at the Bernabeu, Mourinho's relationship with even his compatriots Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe had worsened, but Arbeloa said such dressing-room issues did not affect results on the pitch. "The relationship of Mou with some teammates had deteriorated significantly," he said. "But we were professional enough not to let that affect us on the pitch. La Liga we lost at the start of the season, but we reached the final of the Copa [del Rey] and the semifinals of the Champions League. That 4-1 [at Dortmund in semifinal first leg] just happened. It was not for managing better or worse." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hopefully Jose can put together a solid team for next season,Drogba, Anelka, Kalou, Sturridge, Torres ( Then signed Lukaku ) What the hell happened to our attack? Torres, Ba, Eto'o ( Lukaku on loan ) You can really see why we have struggled without good strikers, I am hoping we bring in another face as well as Costa I think people really overlook the hole Essien has left in our midfield, such a shame injuries ruined him. We now have Matic but Lampard and Mikel might be leaving, the club still has a lot of work to do IMO gary gordon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I was thinking of Henrique's post the the other day when he remarked how Carlo' team back in 2010-2011 had a truly offensive lineup.You had the offensive threat of Drogba and Anelka, plus the added goal threat from Malouda (in-form of course) and Lampard. And you have Kalou coming off the bench...Its probably why our attacking movement was much better, our conversion rate was better...(and yes, the full-backs attack support was better too)...You look at the top scoring teams season, and you have not just one, but two teams trying to break our scoring record...and both play with at least two forwards in their formation.I think that's what Mourinho is striving towards, ....to improve the offensive threat from players like Hazard and Schurrle (remember he said he wants him to improve much more next season?) who could perform like second strikers for the team....its not just about a clever pass from a midfield magician... good attacking movement and goal threat from the supporting players can really do well against a defence that just marks out the lone striker and packs itself with numbers... darrus, gary gordon and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 10, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 10, 2014 This season has been a success in my eyes, no rhythm midfield player or relatively good striker but we are finishing 3rd. Next season we will be better offensively, Mourinho like many other coaches seem to focus more on their team's defensive positioning and shape in the first year so they have a solid foundation to build on. Wait and see. TrueChelseaBlue, kellzfresh, gary gordon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,492 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 MOURINHO: ANALYSE THEN DECIDE The season may be finishing tomorrow but Jose Mourinho's work will not stop there. In the coming weeks our manager will discuss with the club his plans for the future, with particular focus centred on his squad for next season and beyond. With loan spells finishing and possible transfers to consider, Mourinho explained how that process, which is already well underway, works. 'I finish the season tomorrow,' started the Portuguese. 'I have been doing a report for a long time and it's something I am going to give the club on Monday. After that the club will analyse it. Then we will meet, discuss it and find a direction to act in relation to every case. 'I am not the club; I am the manager. I inform the club about my opinion not just with a simple comment made in the corridor. I like to do things in the proper way. I like to be committed with my opinions and I always do that by writing them down.' Included among the players who will feature in Mourinho's end-of-season report are two Belgians positioned at either end of the pitch. 'Romelu Lukaku had what I call a successful loan,' said the boss of the striker who has struck 14 Premier League goals for Everton this year. 'Sometimes players go on loan and at the end of the season we cannot find one positive reason for that loan, but Lukaku played all the time - apart from when he was injured - so he has minutes of experience in the Premier League in a good team, with a good coach and scoring his goals. 'You can say the same thing about Thibaut Courtois. A successful case of loans are the ones we have to analyse. My final report will have in detail these kinds of cases. That's my job - to analyse things, have an opinion and make my decisions. I have to work with the club and respect the club's decisions, but I know clearly what I would like for next season.' Since returning to Stamford Bridge our manager has often spoken of building a team for the future which shares similar characteristics to the ones that have been fundamental to Chelsea's core for the past decade. One man who looks like he will form a key component of our side in years to come is Gary Cahill, a near ever-present at the heart of a defence that has by a considerable margin conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League. 'Gary has had an absolutely fantastic season,' Mourinho enthused. 'Two-and-a-half seasons at Chelsea now and for sure this one was the most complete one. 'I believe with no doubt he is first choice for the national team. The experience of a World Cup is part of a player's career and a player's evolution. 'He's really at the top of his game. After that is his personality: he's a humble guy who wants to learn, accepts criticism and reacts positively to feedback. As a player and as a boy I like him very much.' Another man who has impressed Mourinho with his development over the course of the season is Eden Hazard. The Belgian will, like his team-mate Cahill, hope to shine on the global stage this summer in Brazil to cap a campaign that on an individual level did not often waver from exceptional. 'Eden has had a big evolution in his game and a big evolution in his personality. He had a high that lasted for a long time - many, many months. He couldn't finish on a high because he was injured and in the most important moment of the season - for the second leg against Paris, for the first leg against Atletico - he was not there. 'Against Atletico in the second leg he was there but not in top condition. He wasn't there for the last few matches of the Premier League because of his injury, but he was clearly a player with a big evolution and hopefully he will be even better next season.' link http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3817446/title/mourinho-analyse-then-decide?WT.mc_id=social_20140510_23654784 kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
