Always strikes me as odd how Chelsea are very often described as having a transitional season yet Pellegrini and City is never afforded the same by the press despite the situations being very similar, if anything Mourinho needing less of a transition period as he knows a lot of the players/league.

You're saying that like they're sort of people who bake a manager a cake because they enjoy the taste of his hoop so much.

Awful job by Mourinho this season. Fact.

 

:lol: nah

 

Yeah, first season back, Champions' League semi-final and still in the title race with a few games to go. Fucking disaster, like.

 

Not won anything or looked like winning anything with one of the most expensive squads in the world.

Disgrace that Chelsea spend so much on players to have them used as barricades. The man does get results though, but it's quite ridiculous.

 

Not surprising that they have been susceptible to losing to minnows this season, as these are games they have to take the initiative, and they struggle with this.

Having said that, calling Mourinho’s Chelsea displays anti-football has become a lazy and shallow platitude in and of itself. In the age of information, every football result in the world is at your fingertips. However, searching Google and perusing through social media is a vapidly shallow way to analyze a sport as intricate as soccer. For example, I cannot count the number of times I’ve seen Chelsea catch flack this season for only managing to score a single goal. It is simply easier to hop on the social media bandwagon and make a joke about their “negative tactics” than it is to view the match in full. Were people to do that, they’d realize that such low score lines have been born out of poor finishing and not cautiously defensive tactics. Don’t believe me? Another little factoid for you…

 

Chelsea has the highest shots per game average in the Premier League at 18.

 

Despite that stat, they are continually maligned for being negative and boring. The old adage “don’t let the truth stand in the way of a good story” is certainly alive and well with modern football supporters. Let’s also ignore the fact Chelsea has scored beaten their top rivals while scoring 2 vs. Liverpool, 3 vs. United, 2 vs. City, 6 vs. Arsenal and 4 vs. Spurs.

 

 

"A factoid is a questionable or spurious (unverified, false, or fabricated) statement presented as a fact, but without supporting evidence." :D

Love it when he gets beat, have to say. Thought he gambled too early with the sub today, they had ages to get the goals.

 

He does that quite a lot though. It can look reckless when he gets it wrong like today, but at least he's trying to change things up before it's too late. Better than sending on a defender to protect a 3-0 defeat.

Would like a reset of this poll to be honest. Seems like everybody hates him now but that poll would suggest otherwise.

Typical of this forum really, the media are slagging him a bit more so people jump on the bandwagon, see the forum Pardew apologists just before the local press got a hold of him and now.

2 trophies out of a possible 14 available in the last 4 years. £272,440,000 spent in that time.

 

(lifted 'fact' from elsewhere so it might not be true.)

 

It's almost as if there are other really good clubs in the world, who also spend assloads of money.
