Ronaldo Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Awful job by Mourinho this season. Fact. 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. See Rodgers' first season at Liverpool. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppe Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 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. You might enjoy reading this: http://worldsoccertalk.com/2014/04/23/in-defense-of-jose-mourinho-for-chelseas-tactics-against-atletico-madrid/ 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." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Awful job by Mourinho this season. Fact. 2 trophies out of a possible 14 available in the last 4 years. £272,440,000 spent in that time.

Stifler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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.

Zero Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Mourinho's tactics hugely relies on a quality defensive midfielder, and that's why he splashed out 30m to bring back Matic. He was a big miss last night as you can see how s*** Luiz and Ramires were in that position. I believe he would bring in another one in the summer instead of just going for Diego Costa. And for this reason I do think it is a "transition" period for Chelsea. Jose did make it worse by fucking off Mata though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Awful job by Mourinho this season. Fact. Bullshit. Surely for Mourinho to have done an "awful" job Chelsea would have had to move backwards from last season? I can't see how you could argue that point when they have done better in the Premier League and Champions League.

He'll win the league again with Chelsea, eventually, while doing no worse than the semis in the CL. And probably win a domestic cup here or there.

Zero Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I prefer Semi Finals in Champions League to be honest Especially they got the Europa League after shamefully crashed out in group stage of Champions League Nah I agree that Jose didn't have a good season and another one like this may call the end of his 2nd reign in Chelsea But to say it is poor is a bit harsh imo. Personnel-wise Chelsea isn't good enough and doesn't fit Jose's tactics well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, none of that's remotely true, but I'll play along. I think all I ever said after Mourinho's first, underwhelming, season at Real is that they were far more watchable, and accumulated more points in the league with Pellegrini and the swap was a daft decision. It was, by the way. Anyway, Real have the best of the best managing them now while Mourinho's finishing 3rd with Chelsea and bitching about referees hurting them by audaciously giving penalties to the opposition.
