Is it safe to say Mourhino's best days are behind him? 1) He had a hunger which has disappeared. 2) He had an unfair advantage with the wealth at his disposal but now that no longer seems to be the case and he's looking very mediocre. 3) He looks burnt out; tactically he looks lost. 4) Was lucky to win the league by default last season as City imploded mid-season. Ppl say Wenger is past it but tbf it looks like this applies more to Mourhino.
It looks like all of The Smug One's wummery is coming back to haunt him in spectacular fashion, as he gets "owned" time after time, not unlike someone who posts on this board!
Can someone post a link or the actual Maureen post-match interview please? I'm out and about, but have a huge desire to watch his excuses. Thanks
Chelsea were ****e. Their defence is old, creaky, and mostly past its sell by date. And has now conceded 12 goals in 5 games. Costa looks a shadow of last season's player - As does Hazard. Pedro, at least, looks up for it, but he can't do it all. Team spirit and confidence looks shot to ****. In short it's looks like the Man Utd syndrome of a couple of years ago. Major reconstructive surgery is needed, especially at the back.,
Reported today that Jose has lost the support of the backroom staff over the demotion of the doctor lady. Also that he's fallen out with Costa and the hierarchy are frustrated at the lack of youth team players being promoted to the first team squad. Apparently he missed out on his dream job at Manchester United as the club were concerned about his disinterest in developing youth team players. The game against Arsenal next week should be a corker. Massive pressure on Mourinho to win it. No doubt he'll park the bus and hope to nick a goal.
It will be the ultimate humiliation for him to lose to Arsenal, especially having described Wenger as a specialist in failure, and all the hilarity that that caused among the Chelsea supporters. If Mad Dog isn't going to sack him based on what he's already seen, I doubt he will should Chelsea lose by a close margin and having shown signs of a potential revival, but if they get spanked hard, I can't see any outcome that is good for The Smug One. You'd expect Arsenal to walk it, on current form, but let's not forget that they lost heavily to the Spanners, so it's not necessarily a foregone conclusion.
Where next for Mourinho? He hasn't managed in Germany yet but he'd only consider Bayern Munich as any other club would present too much of a challenge for him and I don't think they'd get rid of Pep to replace him with the clearly unbalanced Jose. Maybe he will take the Portugal job. He always said he wanted to manage his country at the end of his career.
He might consider a job in Saudi or China, Russia even, perhaps? He'd easily be a able to manage one of their top clubs, will be guaranteed top money, and won't have to face the Western press. Although, I think he may pass on a job in Russia, since he'd have to face a humiliating return to the CL.
You've really turned on Maureen and your chav friends haven't you HIAG. It was only a couple of week ago that you were furiously rimming them and now that brown tongue of yours is being used to slag them off.
Nice try, Mr Hatter! My appreciating Jose's penchant for the odd wum against Wenger can hardly be translated, in the minds of moderately sane persons, into a love of CFC. But, you keep digging away!
You admitted that you had an 'allegiance' with Chelsea, because you had failed to wum Arsenal as a Spurs fan. That's looking pretty stupid now
