Right so when Mourinho does well it's because he's a genius but when he doesn't it's the players?

If he was still a world class manager he'd knuckle down and find a way, Fergie won the league (and the season before lost it on goal difference) with those first two players playing big roles, just saying!

Yes but the difference you're claiming Mou is still at a world class level like he use to to be, I'm not saying Lampard is at that level.

Also funny you mention Nuno as he has won the tactical battle against Jose 3/4 times he's faced him, with an inferior side every time.

you mean when Young and Valencia are still in their 20s and not playing at lb and rb but on the wing?

> Right so when Mourinho does well it's because he's a genius but when he doesn't it's the players?

nope, it is more about having common sense and understand where the major fault lies on. For example in Pep's first season when he had 4~5 clowns at the back (Kompany injured as usual), he finished in top 4 just 3pt about Arsenal which was on 5th, and nobody asked 'is pep not at his prime anymore' when he failed to win the league titles. 

it is just funny that when Mourinho achieved the highest point tally since SAF retire and the only manager post SAF era who won some trophies, yet you can say Ole is better when he won jack sh*t at his 3rd season, lost 4 semi-finals, and getting knocked out of the champions league

i just say i will be very happy and delighted to see him back, didnt say it will happen. But if it does, i will be the first to go to the Bridge and sing his name till my throat dies

I'm happy to let you know that Jose will never come back to be our manager.

and I am sad that you are happy about that

So surprised to still see Frank make no changes till nearly the 70th minute, we were crying out for Odoi, or some freshening up on the park

Really positive signs from Lampard today. He quite clearly told the team to try get the ball into box without crossing and as a result we looked pretty dangerous.

Sure it was Luton but it’s still positive to see. He’s got to build on this performance,  Gilmour keep the spot, Werner behind striker.

I’m not going to worry about the defence, we had Christensen, Emerson and Kepa! If it wasn’t for Kepa and Zouma we would have kept a clean sheet.

I’m very happy with the performance today and I hope we build on it.

Well you shouldn't be because Jose hasn't treated our club nicely at all, things change.

3 wins in last 4 games, even though the wins have been against teams we should be beating but the signs of tactical changes are there. 

Feel as though Frank is looking to shift to a 4-2-3-1 which means we lose something in midfield especially against quality teams such as Leicester who will look to outnumber us in midfield. 

Wonder who people will prefer in that no. 10 role Werner or Havertz? 

Werner with his ability to get in behind for me.

Werner certainly. Havertz is just a write off for me this season, hopefully we’ll see the best of him next season.

well because we treated him like sh*t twice

is like someone being betrayed twice and expected him to treat the liar well lol

 

 fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

It always confuses me why some Chelsea fans Mourinho did us wrong. Why would Mourinho not manage another English club after getting sacked by us twice. What else is he supposed to do? It's his job after all.

He didn't have to sh*t on the fans that backed him and sung his name while he had us one point off relegation though, did he?

Also by that same logic he treated Inter and Porto like sh*t....

First time, no one really knows exactly what went down between Jose and Roman. You can say we betrayed him but if we did im sure he wouldn't have come back a second time. 

As for the second stint. I was one of the very few fans who wanted him outm so on that note, he had almost the whole stadium backing despite the turmoil he created starting from the most unnecessary soap opera i can ever think of regarding our female doctor. For me that was the beginning of the end, it created a toxic atmosphere in the dressing room, bad results and it could've all been avoided by Jose himself.

We? I still dont see why you want him back then, same why I dont see why you want Lampard sacked right away either.

Nice new banner at the bridge showing support of Frank. Such a shame our fans are not there in person as both he and the team would feel the difference I believe.

 

Okay....

No, that’s bullsh*t.

Matt Law is usually not reporting if it is not true. I guess we will see very soon.

Surely even our board and owner are not that mental to decide to sack him after a 3-1 victory going on 8-1. Why not sack him after Leicester? This would make absolutely no sense to do it now.

 

 

 

 

If so, absolutely knee jerk reaction by the board. He made positive changes yesterday and next few games were a great chance for him to turn it around.

I’m pissed off.

 

 

 

 

Heard a very strong rumour FSW is to return, club believes with no fans in ground will work better

Thomas Tuchel is touted as the man that takes over.

God i hope that's not true. 

This would prove our board's incompetence. Knee Jerk reactions to situations. Arteta was given time and is below us, Ole was given 2 years nearly and has gotten them to a decent place but yet we go on a bad run and that's that. We were top of the league at one point and are only 5 points off 4th.
