Chelsea Build Up

[wiw]

"I can't decide by myself. I'm just the manager. I have to listen to the club."

Anyone else think he won't be there next season? His whole demeanour, body language and the **** he is spouting on a weekly basis points to him not being a happy bunny there

He's worried that we'll beat his best team anyway demoralise them for the 2nd leg. This way he can shrug off a defeat & still celebrate his 'genius'.

He's already passing the buck. If he puts out a weakened team and they lose then he's distanced himself from it.

good thing for us is it changes nothing - we will prepare and set up the same way, with the same tactics and same mentality whether we were playing chelsea's kids in a friendly or whether it was the intergalactic cup final against the Milky Way All Stars.

It will help us of course that chelsea will no doubt rest a few key players...but they still have a strong enough squad to field a good side...


however what is key is the mindset........for weeks/months jose has been saying his strikers are **** and guess what, they all look ****ing fed up and play ****. For weeks jose's been saying they aren't in the title chase.....and guess what....the team doesn't turn up and loses points to palace, villa and sunderland.

so if he carries on with this attitude then great. They'll turn up here and their target will be "just don't get turned over 6-0"

A 6 nil drubbing for them isn't impossible especially if we turn up which we likely will.

If I was Brendan I'd start playing a bit of mind games on Jose and City by saying Liverpool aren't under any pressure and the pressure is both on Chelsea and City, which it is.

We could possibly afford to drop points in this game and still win the league. Obviously I hope that doesn't happen of course.

Nah he's just a miserable cunt

I'd like to think we'd prepare a little differently if we were playing in space. Or are they coming to us?

[Drew Peacock]

Ramires is the key one

i think if he gets suspended, Mourinho will completley flip - then in what he will see as a protest and snub to the league, he'll defo pick a joke side for us

his argument will be "you (the fa) don't want to help me, you are against us, we are in europe representing you, but you don't want us to be successful in europe" blah blah blah

And if ramires gets a ban, i'd be buzzing - because he's their engine.

Has he had a pull as yet? If it was Suarez, the press would have been calling for him to be hanged on Monday morning - I've not heard anything???

He's akin to a manifestation of the plastic chav massive's collective c*nty consciousness. His ****ishness knows no bounds!

Here's to victories for us & then Atletico. Hopefully we can take down one more manager this season

Very strange, and unusual, for Mourinho to bring Abramovich into it publicly. He's up to something. No idea what. But felt pre-planned.

[Muddled]

He's off to ManYoooo.

True, we'd at least have to do some high altitude training. Probably.

Roman goes through 4 odd managers trying to rid the club of the Mourinho effect. But ends up going full circle and bringing him back. Weird

all i've seen is rumours that chelsea will hear from the FA re their coach/ramires today??

[BubbaZanetti]

The FA are probably busy trying to arrange interviews for Moyes replacement

Jose Mourinho threatens to field weakened team against Liverpool - but how does it compare to full-strength side?

If Jose Mourinho plays a completely different team against Liverpool than the one he will pick to face Atletico Madrid, just who will be in the respective line-ups?

Jose Mourinho's claim that he will ask Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich for permission to surrender the title to Liverpool is sure to upset Premier League and Manchester City chiefs.
Having lost goalkeeper Petr Cech and captain John Terry to injury, and Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel to suspension for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid next week, Mourinho wants to field a B-team at Anfield.

Mourinho said: "I would play with the players who are not going to play Wednesday."

On the basis of that quote, Telegraph Sport have drawn up the two teams Mourinho will have in mind for the Liverpool and Atletico games.

Mourinho team v Liverpool

Hilario; Tomas Kalas, Andreas Christensen, John Obi Mikel, Nathan Ake; Nemanja Matic, Marco van Ginkel, Mohamed Salah, Frank Lampard; Andre Schurrle; Demba Ba

Mourinho team v Atletico

Mark Schwarzer; Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole; Ramires, David Luiz, Willian, Oscar, Eden Hazard; Samuel Eto’o
