The Mourinho Thread

[LAB 1,030]

hahahaha... i did notice the boos but the interview was not telecasted here. what did he say?

to say murray has been pathetic is the understatement of the year. unprofessional, amateurish display of tennis by murray.

Ah maybe you missed it because of the ads break. He said that Murray is not in his day apparently and he has to try to play now for the his supporters who came to see him, because essentially he is out of the finals after this humiliation. Well, good luck with that because he just lost the only single game point he had all night and it's 3-0 already in the 2nd set. Very disappointing performance.

Thank you for the list. Hmm, wouldn't surprise me then if Jose don't buy anyone in January. Seems he is only sign someone when needed. Our squad are in a good form and doesn't really need any changes.

I think that also depends if there will be certain player available in january for decent price. Mou might buy him then. If not, he will buy one in summer when prices drop.

Interesting to see that, as from the list we could see, he never sign someone because of the price in January. And we all know in January the price most of the time are crazy. Well yes, if Dortmund want to negotiate in January with a good price or offer for Reus, for example want to swap it with Schurrle plus cash, who knows what Jose will do.

This should be blown up, framed and hanged up somewhere for people to worship the sheer genius, classiness and general awesomeness in the picture:

Enjoyed that tennis match more than I have any other in a while. Was absolutely hilarious. Made it even sweeter after the moronic crowd booed Mou to have their little hero spanked all over the court mercilessly by the Swiss Superman.

Roger felt like destroying Murray because Jose was watching, obviously.

Hahaha you couldn't have put it any better.

I wonder if they did have a chat and what 'd they say

Here's what Jose said during the break:

[Nero 1,902]

"In the league, Chelsea is now the most reliable most consistent team, the strongest team"

Mourinho's best quotes. Some real gems there, I love this man so much.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Jose Mourinho's back to basics approach is making mugs of Chelsea's title rivals

Jose Mourinho has a novel way of winning football matches: He plays his best team.

For Mourinho, repetition is the new rotation. And he is making fools of his rivals.

It helps that the Special One knows his best team. Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Hazard, Costa. Willian, Schurrle and Ramires compete for a starting slot, but, otherwise, the line-up is pretty much sorted.

Seven of those players have started every Premier League game for the Blues this season. It would have been eight, had Cesar Azpilicueta not had to serve a ban.

One of the things that sets Mourinho, apart from his ­adversaries, is his decisiveness.

There are few managers in the world game – let alone the English game – who would have removed Petr Cech from the team.

It was a brutally emphatic move. But, while the rest of the elite go from one head-scratching week to another, Mourinho knows his mind.

That much was clear in the summer transfer window.

­Liverpool’s recruitment was ­scattergun, Manchester United’s horribly front-loaded, Arsenal’s unfocused on the needy areas. Mourinho knew what he needed – a world-class striker, central midfielder and defensive cover.

Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luis. Tick, tick, tick.

Brendan Rodgers is being cut ­considerable slack because of the obvious difficulty of replacing Luis Suarez.

Yet, when Suarez signed his final contract at Anfield in December, 2013 – one which surely included a release clause – the club must have known the chances of him leaving in the summer were high. To be scrabbling around at the tail-end of the window and ending up with Mario ­Balotelli was simply negligent.

Fabregas and Costa had been sorted long before business opened on July 1.

That would not have been the work of some transfer committee – that would have been Mourinho using his contacts. Fabregas and Costa have been instrumental in Chelsea’s fantastic start to the season.

And are now enjoying a well-earned fortnight off.

Mourinho claims to have had no involvement at all, but he has had a result that could just make the title even more of a certainty. Fabregas was non-stop in 90 minutes at Anfield and Costa ­irrepressible, before going off a minute from time.

Now, they are having a break while key players from rival teams go through the rigours of international duty.

I bet Rodgers would have loved Daniel ­Sturridge to be excused ­international duty this season.

Recently, Mourinho made special mention of his medical team. Hardly surprising. It is a team that gets them fit for club and unfit for country. Ideal for a Premier League manager.

Of course, fortune plays its part when it comes to ­injuries. But it is clear that, for one reason or another, Mourinho has a more robust collection of players than, for example, Arsene Wenger.

At the Etihad, Manuel Pellegrini has had some injury issues – most crucially with David Silva over the past couple of weeks. But he has still lacked the decisiveness of Mourinho.

He only sort-of knows his first-choice team: Is it Eliaquim Mangala or Martin Demichelis alongside Vincent Kompany? Gael Clichy or Aleksandar Kolarov? Is Edin Dzeko in his best team?

Ronald Koeman knows his best side and a top-four finish is there for Southampton’s taking. But Chelsea’s ­established rivals are in a fog of their own making, stumbling from game to game with no clear vision.

Mourinho – with his single-mindedness redoubled this season – is making mugs of them.

^^ I don't like his blatant implication that our medical department makes the players fit for the club and unfit for the country. That's a lie. Those players when reported injured by the club, more often than not are reevaluated by their NT medical staff. they're injured, end of it. Oscar, Willian, Ramires, Luís, Cahill, Hazard, Cortouis, to mention a few, are all off to serve their NTs.

I can detect BS when I read it, and that's just BS.

Spanish interview by Karanka

He speaks quite a lot about Mou.

Agree. Just ignore that part. The rest are true though.

Mourinho again at the O2 watching Djokovic - Murray. Seems like he can't have enough of Andy lately

[Tautvix 1,321]

It's an old photo. I think he's played 35 or 36 games now.

Ah yes, probably until last season only
