On tactics and enjoyment of the game

[Loonerty]

I've been disappointed in the way Chelsea have performed lately. A lot of people are saying this is down to Mourinho not rotating the squad. I 100% agree with this, but I think there's a fundamental flaw as well.

It's his tactics. They're so defeatist and boring. We're currently 6 points clear of the league with a game in hand but you wouldn't know it by watching us play. It looks more like we should be around 10th with the likes of Stoke.

I get up so early to watch the team play and am almost put back to sleep by his defensive regime. It's disgusting and after much thought I've decided I can't in all good faith support that sort of "football" any more.

I can't choose another team in England to support, so I've decided to act on the advice of the likes of typeclub and kaiserchief13 and support a team I enjoy watching.

Bayern Munich. Pep Guardiola's style is the most interesting to watch. I hate watching the other team have possession, and with Mourinho's style this happens sometimes for 55% of the game. That is just unacceptable. Watching Guardiola teams have the ball almost 100% of the time is what I want to see.

I'm sorry to chef, BluesMan, Flameboy, Thistle and everyone else but I just can't follow Chelsea any longer.

BAYERN ÜBER ALLES!

Hm. Interesting.

 

[chef]

Not sure if serious or not.

Dude! Abandoning Chelsea! get in here and set this guy straight! chef

Did you have this viewpoint earlier in the season when you were banging in the goals?

[chef]

Sorry Loony, I call bullshit.

 

[SM]

Yeah I'm getting close to that point with Hull.

 

[Cruyff14]

He's obviously unhappy with Mourinho's tactics chef. Surely you can understand that?

 

[Jatz]

The first couple of replies

I'm thinking its more related to Hird, Essendon, AFL and the opinions of neutrals some how.

A real fan is in for the long haul no matter what.

 

[Cruyff14]

Maybe he wasn't a real fan though?

I mean it's an odd decision nonetheless but can't really go wrong in supporting Bayern atm.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Stops supporting Chelsea due to boring tactics, yet continues to support Essendon.

Shame the same can't be said for a Real player.

Cringeworthy OP

 

[Zidane98]

I thought someone hacked his account at first after reading the OP

I can understand his frustrations - a superstar expensively assembled squad playing dour football. Can see why Mourinho didn't work at Real. Most Chelsea fans have patience now but will they accept this sort of football long term?

 

[Thistle]

Oh Loony, you had me worried for a bit until I remembered what day it was. You know we are a fooking sexy football club

 

[Cruyff14]

I don't think this has any correlation to do with today.

 

[glenferry23]

April Fools Day.

I don't see why not, it gets results and isn't really as bad as some like to make out. Plus we dont play the same way every game.

 

[Magma]

if i pretend its not april fools day then this is totally legit

 

[Benno_900]

Chelsea fans only jump ship when they're losing.

 

[typeclub]

You are much better off waiting for Pep to do his 'sabbatical' as soon as someone takes a trophy off him as there's only so many times he can reject the desperate Roman so he'll probs end up at Chelsea anyway where you can finally see some decent footy

its not like there's any competition in the EPL meanwhile and you know Pep will love it

 

[kaiserchief13]

Nice OP. You will not regret seeing back to back to back trebles

Really?
