The Mourinho Thread

We just can't keep closing our eyes on this stupid, unnecessary, too early mikel sub + on the bunker tactic from 60th minute.

Mourinho this season has done a fine job, no doubt about that, whether it be domestically or in the CL. But the fact remains, we could've killed the game off but instead got on Mikel and Zouma too at the end. We were defensive at the end that was too risky. We did the same shit against City. These 2 points are major, especially when we played a Utd team today without half their attacking players. (Falcao, Rooney, Herrera)

The little details have cost us the 3 points, Ivanovic giving away a needless foul, Zouma ball watching for the goal...

Ivanovic is a huge liability. It's almost a given that if we concede a goal it'll be down the right hand side due to Ivanovic either going too far ahead or having a lapse of judgement and losing his man.

Sorry he is a beast, most underrated defender in the league and today hasn't changed that. Ref being a cunt is not his fault

Yes, it was not a question of if but when. 5 of our players were on a yellow card and Dowd seemed really frightened by the United fans.

It's the most dissapointing game since he took over, losing to the lesser sides last season almost became expected, so I won't count Sunderland.

City won't be dropping points too often, and we will almost certainly go through a dip in form.

Lol it really isnt. Sunderland? Stoke? Crystal Palace. These games last season were alot more disappointing considering we dominated and still lost. To be fair we didnt deserve more than a draw today.

Far from it. By far our worst defender this year. He is not a beast. I respect him for his commitment but his defense is lacking this year.

Don't care, best manager in the world.

Second best IMO

City game was the worst by far because we couldn't put two passes together the last 30 minutes against a team with 10 men.

[Polo7 3,496]

LOL!

[Tomo 21,681]

Don't care, best manager in the world.

Yet he lost a CL final because he refused to put men on the posts.

No one's perfect.

[iseah100 5,612]

Don't care, best manager in the world.

League titles in 4 countries? No.

2 CL's with 2 different teams? No

Record setting points in 3 countries for a season? No.

No, these type of results against big teams when they score last minute fifa goals are far worse because it's a sucker punch. Last season, we all knew how likely it was we'd drop points against lesser sides, so it wasn't as bad.

Regardless of who the better manager is I think Simeone's big game tactics are better than Jose's. He tries to limit the number of opposition chances by playing a high-intensity pressing game all over the pitch thereby not allowing them space to play their game. Contrast that to Jose's sitting back tactic which relies a lot on luck.

Best manager in the world is up to debate, everyone got their own opinions just accept it.

Simeone-getting a team who should be finishing in top 4 to get past 2 of their best club sides in history is amazing achievement

Mourinho-winning the league in many different countries and CL

Klopp-same as Simeone but atm struggling so don't think he is in contention anymore

Pep-always make amazing team play good, coached the best squad in history arguably

If we are being honest Jose was the best in 2010, Pep 11, Klopp 12, Heynckes 13, Simeone 14. Ancelotti and Del Bosque some where along too.

Obviously...that is why they won at the Bridge last season, twice away at Bernabeu in 12 months now, drew at Barca...etc. With far less superior players too I might add.

Knockout cups can be won any time, the Greece team in the last word cup were imo better than the team that won the Euros.

I don't doubt the sheer spirit and desire we shown to win the CL ofcourse not, however that was the most one sided final i have seen, we were well off the pace compared to thd elite and it showed, the win was simply remarkable.

If our team of 2000 got the rub of the green in Barca, with 3 one off games after that, who knows if they would have done the same.

Small margins.

Small margins is all it take from seperating a Champion and another side in history, that is almsot every sport. That team was a Champion of Europe, an accomplishment that no Chelsea side has ever reached. No one could say they were a shit side or the worst side in 2 decades. Their accomlishment speak for it self.

The CL final we were missing so many players and stil won the game, for me that was a testement of a great side. It didn't matter who it was players steped up throughout the CL and when RDM was appointed.

btw Individual talent does not equal team.
