Ronaldo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 9/10 managers in this league would bring off a striker for a defensive player. He still wanted a goal threat. Not when you are only playing one striker in the first place. Take your tongue out of his ringpiece Tactically he played the entire game perfectly.Deserves credit because no one else can do it. No one else can do what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 well this season nobody can win at Man City and stop them scoring, so he can do that at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 9/10 managers in this league would bring off a striker for a defensive player. He still wanted a goal threat. 9/10 managers would revert to a system with no striker whatsoever? Seems a strange thing to praise him for after that result tonight.

Kanj Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd grudgingly have him here. I'd fucking love him here. He'd be perfect here with our crowd and supporters. He'd be an instant legend and he'd create an absolute fortress at St James Park - swaggering about the place while we destroyed people - no defeatist bull shit either, ever.

AlanSkÃrare Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sir Bobby could surely have persuaded him at some point. Don't think he'll leave Chelsea for a long time now. He's had his "FM" journey through Europe now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had his "FM" journey through Europe now. IIRC SBR wanted him as his assistant and promised to step aside as manager for him after a few years.

Dan Gleebals Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not sure what game Pellegrini was watching but for me Chelsea were the far better side last night. A great away team performance, spot on tactics and they kept going to the final whistle, no negative shit what so ever. Are you watching Pardew? Mourinho is a class above when it comes to management. He takes all the pressure of his players (not in the title race etc) and just plays monumental mind games with the opposition in doing so - and people keep falling for it. The bloke is a winning machine, it wont be too long before Chelsea win it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If they invest in a few new players they won't fail under Moyes. They won't win the league or CL under Moyes because he simply isn't capable of managing a team to play the kind of football or game required to win it. He's a better version of Pardew. He worries about conceding and losing more than scoring and winning. He sets his teams up to not lose, to work hard, nick a win etc. He favours hard working players than flair players. Furthermore h lacks the character to manager them. He doesn't have the strength of mind, strength of conviction etc. I mean, he is an average manager to be fair. That's Mourinho too. Mourinho also played pretty defensive/counter attacking football to win both his CL titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Chelsea away games against 'top' sides (13/14): Man Utd - drew 0-0 Everton - lost 1-0 Spurs - drew 1-1 Arsenal - drew 0-0 Man City - won 1-0 Liverpool - still to play Average goals scored per game 0.4, Average goals conceded per game 0.4. Thrilling stuff, I'd like to see that compared against previous seasons as it had seemed that we'd reached a situation where these games generally had a glut of goals before Mourinho came back.

BlueStar Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well yes, when you're one of three title contenders playing down your chances is seen as being a bit wily, when you're 8th and you start saying that's our top limit it's seen as being pretty defeatist. If Jose was sitting in Moyes' position I doubt people would have the same view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Mourinho seems to have found one of his final puzzle pieces in Matic. That defence and midfield is now solid enough to let the front players just go and take it to the opposition, and he doesn't slow the game down like Mikel/Essien.
