Tremendous.
Can't help but feel sorry for Mourinho. His wife is going to get an angry shag tonight, I expect. Jenas was surprisingly shit, as was Boumsong. Dyer was playing like a disabled, but you've come to expect that from him. Decent enough performance from the rest of the team, though. |

I see your point, but at the end of today, Chelsea are out of a cup, with numerous injuries coming out of the game. Duff's condition, whatever it turns out to be, was made worse by staying on the pitch. As Rob said, bringing on 3 players at half time, when its snowing and your playing against players who do have a tendency to be a bit reckless in their challenges at times, your just asking for trouble. While Ranieri was tactically inept against Monaco, Mourinho today was not only tactically inept, but showed a complete disregard for the welfare of his players, who he supposedly has a great relationship. Granted, there is a huge difference between the Champions League and the FA Cup (and I can't say much after what Rafa did) but today Mourinho made some truly awful decisions, and in my opinion, they were worse than Ranieri's.

Hindsight is wonderful, isn't it, he took a gamble and it didn't work, Bridge is bollocks anyway, so I wasn't in the slightest sad to see him go off. Defensivley we had a fucking great side out, second best keeper in the league, and the best defence we could have fielded bar Ferreira, Kezman is our best fit attacker and our midfield matched Newcastl'es in the first half, and was better in the second half. I'm bloody proud of Chelsea today, I went to the game and it was fantastic, forgetting the score, it was a brilliant day out. The Geordies are magnificent, except only their fans near us were singing, the rest did about once all game, I was expecting better. Best stadium in England, really beautiful view and I'd love to go there again. No complaints, I'd have done nothing different, they weren't better then us, they just took one of there chances.

In hindsight it didn't pay off but the only error he made was probably bringing all 3 on so soon, but i've done that a few times on champ manager if i've been frustrated. The intent was to get Chelsea back into the game though, so he should be commended for that, he took a risk and it didn't pay off but that's all really and, after all, they're clear at the top of the league and still in the other cups.

I agree with Dazz to be honest.
Yes, putting 3 subs on was a gamble and it didn't pay off but Mourinho wanted to progress so he chucked on his "big guns" with plenty of time left. Had they gone on to come from behind and win as a result people would probably have praised him. Had he waited until 70-80 minutes or so before bringing them on and they'd still lost, people would probably ask "why didn't they come on sooner?". As Dazz said, hindsight is a wonderful thing. You don't often finish a match with your keeper sent off, a player stretchered off injured and two other players limping, Chelsea's luck just went against them yesterday in that respect. Calling him a moron is a bit harsh considering how well Chelsea are doing and what he managed at Porto ![]() |

Agree with him if you like. That's fine. It's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that making 3 subs with 45 mins of football to play when the conditions are far from perfect and when you are a goal down isn't the smartest move. They could have gone all out for the first 15 of the second half and then made 3 subs. Or they could have made 1 or 2 and kept a 3rd for later. It was a gamble and it didn't pay off.
You might not finish matches with that many injuries but injuries are a frequent occurance in football. It's my opinion that going a complete 45mins when you might need to make tactical changes with any possible back up plan is not bright. I'm just a complete and utter cretin though so what do I know? |

I'll tell you what you know, and thats fuck all by the sounds of it, you said
"My opinion is that making 3 subs with 45 mins of football to play when the conditions are far from perfect and when you are a goal down isn't the smartest move." The first part makes sense, kinda, the last part makes no sense at all, you're saying that when oyur losing you dont make three substitutions??!! Fuck off. |

It's a cup game, Chelsea were playing poorly and Mourinho wanted to make a change. In a cup game, especially away from home, you may as well lose 6-0 as lose 1-0, so Mourinho went for it. He wanted a positive response from his team. A draw was no good, he wanted a team that could go out there and score at least 2 goals and win the match, or go down trying.
He made the right changes, and whether it be at half time or 15 minutes into the half, doesn't really matter. You cannot legislate for red cards and serious injuries, and you should base how you plan your tactics based on the fear that you might get an injury. |

The Camara comments weren't a one off. The one off part is that you were right (about Mourinho), for once, Mantle.

I still don't think you are right about Ferdinand, but I definitley see why we spent £19.85 million in the summer on Riccy Carvalho, he was our best player yesterday and has been superb all season, you were right on that one, Gatesy.

I'd have thought changing two players would've been enough and then if it was still going tits up later, adding another. I understand the need to attack but you're fucking nuts to even risk that kind of thing.

Then it hit september and you started talking some bollocks about van Nistelrooy and you slowly went downhill until you hit rock bottom with "Camara is a good finisher." I think it was probably just a case of you going through a funny patch, hopefully you're over that now and we can just move on. |
