Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Finishing 3rd with the 2nd? largest budget in the league=Genius:laugh: Mourinho has spent about £40m or so net since joining. Much less than Man Utd and Man City and not much more than Arsenal, Southampton and Cardiff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Mourinho is easily the greatest manager of all time. Just a shame we have dropped so many points against all the crap teams. We have barely dropped a point to the top 6. Just watched his all-star team defend 4-5-1 and oftentimes 6-3-1 against an equally talented Liverpool and it is described as highly organised, wonderful tactics, great team work etc and they score off a slip and an absolute breakaway when Liverpool were going all out for an equaliser; not saying they weren't exceptionally well organised and moved around as if tied to each other; BUT when we played 5-4-1 against much better teams than us e.g. Man Utd and Barcelona it was described as anti-football? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Lampard hit the nail on the head. You have to have both sides of the game to be successful - defensive and attacking when required. Chelsea was the better team when they met at Stamford bridge earlier in the season and played attacking then, now they had to come to Anfield where the home team are always attacking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Chelsea are a total turn off imo. And as for Jose, he really is the boring one tbh. Try humility sometime ffs 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from bitter tims and SPL fans that hate us, I doubt many criticised us playing negatively against such sides. Apart from opposition players like Messi who were hardly going to praise us. The problem with us is we just started playing 5-4-1 v any old team in Europe and it's embarrassing to be such cowards. We pretty much always play negatively, Chelsea don't. A key difference with Chelsea is they don't play route 1 football. You very rarely see a Jose Mourinho side aimlessly punt the ball up the park, whereas our sides of recent years do it all game. Regarding Mourinho, he has 16 out of 18 points v the top 4 this season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Regarding Mourinho, he has 16 out of 18 points v the top 4 this season. Yet sit second in the table and, in all probability third after City's game in hand. So tactical genius only counts against the top 4 ? Nonsense. What about all the points he has dropped against inferior opposition, should we just blame that on the players as it wont fit in with your "genius" agenda or fit with your statistics ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think attitude has cost Chelsea more so than Jose being found out or whatever. Attitude is such an important aspect of football these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,185 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's the manager's job, though, isn't it? Fix the attitude. Stein did it with a team of duffers at Parkhead, then, whaddaya know? Nine in a row. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
