The Mourinho Thread

I'm going to ignore his assessment of Torres (it's probably for media anyway, how do you want clubs to try and buy him if the manager doesn't compliment at least his attitude, when one can't play in the pitch, at least let it be known he has great attitude - something Torres didn't have here anymore and recovered when Mou arrived). There were two - maybe three statements I really liked about this interview

1) we working tactically and training to play with two strikers. One of those could be Schurrle. As a target centered man he doesn't work, but as a second striker he could do some job

2) that he qualified Cesc as a center midfielder, and went further saying that was a crucial position for us to get someone new

3) his repetitive lack of mention of Ramires when he says about players coming back from Brazil. Added to #2, it gives me hope we won't see Ramires starting as many matches as last season.

two strikers, Cesc in the pivot, creating from the deep and Ramires' absence. How much better can it get? Only if the second striker can't possibly be Fernando Torres.

I guess he won't be a main starter, but assuming we want to press high ""The physical [aspect] was difficult for us, because we want to do what we trained and we trained to high press this kind of team that builds from the back. But with big distances between their defenders, it's difficult. It needs a lot of running and effort [...] it was hard to cover these distances but we did very well in the first half..." players like Ramires, Oscar, and Willian will be key, because they cover alot distance.

Hypothetically, if Chelsea doesnt win, do you think Jose should be sacked?

Meaning only EPL title and Champs league (not CC, fa cup, etc).

Only if we play like shit this year and don't win anything, if we are playing good but are unlucky he shouldn't be fired.

If doesn't win anything, I'm afraid he could not survive another trophyless season. Only if we got FA Cup at least, I think he will stay.

NO. Stability is key, as long as it's more attractive football and we get good results he needs to stay. Unless something drastic happens, we need him.

He is trying to keep the fan and the board happy but I prefer he should go for the kill sell Torres and bring in another top strong striker incase

which "top striker" is going to be happy sitting on the bench?

we signed costa, that was our top striker.

If the board continues to sack the manager every time we don't win a trophy, we're gonna run out of quality managers to employ in the future.

Judging by how positive the board has been acting in the last 1-2 years, you would think they have moved on from the days of pressing the panic button and swing the axe at the manager at the first sign of trouble. Don't think Mourinho will be sacked if we don't win any trophy as long as there is further improvement and progression in the squad.
