Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 FWIW the best football Chelsea have played by far came under Ancelotti, who also won them the double in his first season - which Mourinho hasn't managed in 6 attempts. I agree, but we are talking about Mourinho and what he is to Chelsea. He deserves the benefit of the doubt and doesn't deserve the sack given what he has achieved.

Btw, Duff and Robben wide and Drogba up top with Lampard, Cole and Makalele were frighteningly good for Chelsea, they weren't like us under KK or Arsenal under Wenger, but they played some super stuff at times and were very very good at attacking and scoring and creating.

ponsaelius Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Abramovic is quite clearly the best thing that happened to Chelsea, not Mourinho. Ancelotti, Hiddink, Benitez, Di Matteo all won trophies. Avram Grant got them to a CL final FFS. It's basically a free shot at all the major trophies for any manager who gets the job, followed by a nice cushy pay off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 He did ? Who ? Terry and possibly... most of the squad http://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/sep/23/newsstory.chelsea "I thought Mourinho was practically untouchable, but a lot of players had complained about him, notably John Terry," Makelele wrote. "So why take such a risk? Because he'd had enough and was looking for a way out? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/may/30/john-terry-rejects-makelele-mourinho-chelsea http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/may/30/chelsea-john-terry-jose-mourinho Terry got his lawyer's involved with these "allegations" but I don't doubt they're true.

The College Dropout Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I used to think - Mourinho is probably one of the best league managers ever. His cup exploits are good but not amazing. He's had clubs that might've been able to dominate a CL campaign but has never managed it. The CL's he's won (all credit given) they've had to defend with their lives in at least 1 tie and had to make their own luck. But he's looking at 2 league titles in 6 years. And he builds boring teams. His best side was RM and Ancelotti came in and immediately made it far more entertaining. Not making a CL final with them or Chelsea (so far) is another blight on his career. I don't like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rubbish. The best football they played was easily when Robben was at his best and then after that it was under Hiddink. You and Ancelotti man.

The College Dropout Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 When was Robben at his best? Each good season under Mourinho they where largely boring. Robben was fantastic aye but brilliant football?Get out/ Just the 106 goals was it under Ancelotti? Scored 4 or more how many times? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancelotti's Chelsea absolutely obliterated the league, scoring 103 goals and battering teams left right and centre. Compare that to Mourinho's first two seasons where they scored 72 and 73.

Disco Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thing is Mourinho's teams probably could have run wild but he's absolutely obsessed with declaring at 2-0 or as early as possible and killing the game by being snide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 The idea that Chelsea wouldn't have won as much as they have without Mourinho. I don't even rate him but Ranieri would've won shit as well with the same level of investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 It's partly cause the players can't be themselves on the pitch, especially the flair players. In games they have to work like dogs and over time that erodes morale. Hazard is the classic example he's always having to run back for every little thing - they are just sick of it all. Over organised. Players have started to drop off. That Brazilian kid came as a forward/winger...Where does he come on? Left back. /Pardesque There was a little period last year when they were killing teams and I can't really remember why that was? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about when they played their best football. For me it was when they first got Robben and then under Hiddink. It's not a defence of Mourinho either, his teams are absolutely awful to watch, but imo they were best to watch during those two periods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really, really pisses me off. So needlessly negative but then again he went years without losing a home game before recently being worked out. Their nosedive has been incredible like, it really has. When you look at their squad, they're vastly underperforming. The stuff with the medic seems like the beginning of the end.

Brilliant to watch and still more goals than any other team have managed in a PL season, even when the format was 46 games. You need to calm your act and smarten up, KI. Edit: Sewelly knows.

Fears gone, like Man Utd under Moyes. Definitely a huge factor. Stops "big clubs" playing shite and getting away with it as the rest go after them and create chances.
