That whole video reeks of someone desperately trying to find a method to Jose's madness. That Inter team had a style of play and ethos. We don't even have that after two fecking years.

If we get some key positions fixed, i think we will see it.
It's a coincidence and nothing more. Do you think if someone as smart as Jose undoubtedly is, really wanted to plan for us to play that way the building blocks would have been put in place at least 2 transfer windows ago? Instead, all we've seen on the pitch from us since March 2017 smacks of a bunch of players making it up as they go along because they have no direction from the man in the dugout.
This Rks guy is Arsenal fan, hope they get relegated.
Looking at that video, you can tell he has been watching Jones too much in training.
This is such a ridiculous video on so many levels. Just a fan that's reaching.
Is Mourinho trying to recreate a team he built that has a completely different squad profile to the one he has now and completely different level of opposition?
I really doubt you're a Chelsea fan dude. Zero comments on anything Chelsea related on this forum. Only place I see your post is in a thread someone types Mourinho wrongly.
Jose Mourinho is and will always be a club legend. Arguably the best manager the club ever had.
I am also glad he is no longer with us and hope and pray he never steps foot in the SB home dugout ever again. I like the direction the club is looking at now.
Chelsea has always been looked at by the world as the fore bearers of anti- football ever since Mourinho's first stinct at the club even though we were regarded as one of the best footballing sides in the late 90s and earlier 2000s.
Now with Sarri we are trying to get back to those roots. The players seem to enjoy it and I definitely do. It might cost us a few trophies or league positions in the short term, but I can't help but be excited for the long term implications for the club.
It's very true. From day one he wanted a target man, he wanted a width keeping winger such as perisic or willian which were rejected, he wants a player who cuts in from a winger to join the forward - Sanchez. He literally bought matic again - an ex player when we could get any other defensive midfielder that was available; but of of course if he wanted willian, matic then he doesn't want to recreate his old team
. Then there is his tendency to prefer bulky players like Fellaini, Lukaku etc whilst he apparently wants more defenders like that refusing to play a ball playing defender we had before begging for a new one. Then he primarily played 4231 whilst this formation constantly made players play out of positions. Then there is counterattacking which focuses much more on the teams defensive capability than to hold on an attacking consistency in matches.Is it surprising we play rubbish? He would literally be open to two players max in a group of 11 to be open to pure technical abilities & gameplay - be that hazard, Ozil, sneidjer whilst nearly everyone else is forced to play a restrictive reactive type of football.
There is too many similarities to his other teams - trying to recreate what was successful for him previously rather than utilising the players at his disposal to the best of their abilities. It's all well & good if he is successful - when he is not; he is ultimately doing a poor job of the job at hand.
Fact is Jose & his fans will convince everyone that we need a player, a RW like willian - fact is we don't at all if we change the formation to not utilise a player we do not have. He doesn't do that & complains about not being backed in the transfer market to bug a 31 year old player for 70mil. Now he tries to change the formation a bit & looks completely clueless.
I sure a hell understand why we sacked him. Same reasons why I hope, as a rival fan of course, United don't sack him just yet.
I'm certainly glad Conte took over a Premiership team. not a Championship one.
Besides he knows if he loses this United job no other top team with sizeable funds would want him. PSG? Sure the Arabs would want to see Neymar and Mbappe as fullbacks.
His Madrid side played breathtaking football, esp his record goals total one. I think he's more than able to play good football but he needs to be 100% sure his players are absolute top. Tough luck he's hard to please. In a bit of a shite league and with having PSG players I think he'd go all Madrid, not Inter.
Obviously not watched as much of Chelsea as you but I think that's very unfair on JM. His first Chelsea team was great. Yes they didn't have the flair of the Arsenal side of the same period but they played positive football and scored loads of goals. They went to other big teams and battered them.
Something seems to have changed in Mourinho though. He's become obsessed with the negative side of the game. Hopefully he can find a better balance now Carrick and McKenna are on board.
Again, i signed up here cos i wanted to defend JM, as a grateful Chelsea supporter. That’s it.
I am allocated 5 posts a day and I read so much drivel on here that I feel I need to respond to, that 5 posts a day is not even enough! I am sorry that I do not have enough posts a day ON a United forum to post about Chelsea.
I post on a CFC forum outside of here.
clear dive
He’s as nuts as keane just in a less aggressive way. It’d be a disaster waiting to happen
Tactics spot on, particularly first half when we should have been home and dry.
Absolutely lacklustre manager - has inability to hold control in a match. A win is a win. Watford is Watford. Our football is not football bar some pretty corners.
Victory by a solitary goal. Mourinho style.
It's just horrible watching it - the match day forums asking for where the moaners are once we score 2 corners
. We are watching this balance of luck and utter simplicity.Why anyone would want what we see right now to be improved upon is quite simply puzzling.

Though we could have scored 4-5 with just slice of luck, but our use of the ball is just so uninspiring. We just don't create enough and score enough this way. Top of the table teams have scored double the number we score, and we keep kicking it long for 90 mins.
Jose can never win, even when he wins.
Good team choice, good subs when the game got dicey, pretty flawless performance.
See yesterday got to give him credit, as after half time when the game restarted we lined up weirdly. Fellaini seemed to have dropped in to CB instead of Smalling and Smalling was floating about in sort of the RB situation. At first I thought this is weird but directly from Watford restarting they punted a high ball straight out to that area which Smalling comfortably won and got the ball away.
I’m guessing but this must be a tactic someone has spotted Watford using previously and this was planned. I was reading a bit on McKenna that says he is maticulous and watches hours upon hours of footage of opponents so maybe it was his doing but props to Jose for having the faith and to be honest last few games it’s like Jose has had a labotomy. Recently this team has gone against everything he said in that rant last year about possession and all that stuff and it’s refreshing to see if it’s not quite got the quality yet.

Lol.
No other clubs would want mourinho? You're having a laugh. Only united fans thinks mourinho isn't a top manager anymore.
Which is weird enough!
Yeah. And somehow every manager would love to join us. As if we're the pinnacle of footballing job.
Maybe if poch turns us down we would realised that we're (at the moment) not the all that matters.
Demanding fans
Dysfunctional team
Top 4 or sacked
Have to play beautiful football
Have to play youth
Have to act classy

Jesus
Underappreciated bit of management in using Fellaini to cover for Lindelof's deficiencies. Smart tactics, this is more of what we expect from a European cup winning manager.
So you admit we have some sort of balance atleast. Silver lining huh?

I watched this video of Joses tactics. I can defintely see some of the stuff mentioned. What do the rest of you think?
Your darling aloysius literally did the same thing hogging possession, you are literally just an agenda posting poster. It's tiresome now.It's just horrible watching it - the match day forums asking for where the moaners are once we score 2 corners

It suited the youngsters - that's why I enjoyed it. My darling aloysius - whilst everyone is crying for perisic & willian to replace Rashford & Martial.
You could attribute those criterias to any top club apart from the 'dysfunctional team' one which could very well be a symptom of the current management and isn't necessarily transferrable.
And 'act classy' wouldn't even have to be a criteria for 99% of managers out there and no one would have even got the idea if Mourinho weren't our manager.
We're one of the biggest clubs in the world with the greatest revenue, we don't have to sell to spend unlike some of our rivals.
For the moment the manager has almost complete control over the sporting side of the club which you won't find at many other clubs either.
That for sure was buried and dead already. When have you been in the last summer ?
We're currently the poison chalice when it comes to manager tbh. Yeah I'm not sure managers will be running to get the job here. After Fergie we were, not now.
