FC Basel 1-0 Chelsea (Salah)

Lampard or Mata? Mata or Lampard?

Hmmmmm.

Will Mourinho keep this going all season long just so he can prove that he's in charge? Silly man.

[No Fixed Abode]

Through to the last 16 with a game to go.

Madness isn't it. He's not the manager he was - believes his own hype maybe? Mind you, he always did. It's like having in charge a cross between Capello and Di Canio.

With Sturridge the best striker in the league, Lukaku arguably a close second - would be great to see Mata move to a rival in January (he'd be brilliant at United) and help them to the title.

You point still sort of stands, but

Aguero?? Suarez?

[Ouroboros]

He's going to say that they are forwards.

[Silver Fox]

I only watched the first half last night but I really enjoyed the way will.i.an let Basel players stroll past him every single time they tried

Yeah, it was tongue in cheek.

Bit confused about this. Is Mourinho saying he doesn't know why Lukaku wanted to leave on loan? Or is he trying to shift blame by suggesting that Lukaku should have to answer for not wanting to stay and fight for a place in the team?

Or is he hinting that there is some secret reason that they both know but which hasn't come out?

[soggy biscuit]

Sounds more like he knows he looks a bit silly over loaning him out so is trying to make out there is some kind of mysterious scandalous story behind the move that no knows about and so therefore he can't be criticised for it.

It will reel in a few one eyed fans but I can't imagine many more than that.

[genome]

Yeah, I had no idea what Mourinho was on about either.

[From Despair To Where?]

It seem simple enough to me, Lukaku wants regular football which Chelsea can't or won't offer him and it's all smoke and mirrors from Mourinho to save face. It's no different to what Lukaku has been saying for the past 3 years.

I get the feeling Mourinho doesn't have full say in squad selection. Can't help but feel that Willian and Etoo are Abramovich signings and he has to play them, likewise Torres is a big, big money signing who he is pressurised to play and Ba simply can't handle the pressure of expectation.

You'd think he wouldn't have come back if he wasn't given assurances about control... given his last experience there.

Willian may well be considering the manner of his purchase but I would think Eto'o would be a Mourinho approved signing given the fact they've worked together before at Inter.

Agreed that it's smoke and mirrors in some way. I'm just genuinely perplexed as to what Mourinho is trying to imply.

He's a weird man.

[From Despair To Where?]

But, despite his success, Mourinho wasn't much liked in Italy or Spain. At least in England the press and Chelsea fans will stroke his ego to the desired level so maybe he will put up with a bit more than previously.
