I was saying the same during the match today. We just don’t do it now. It’s much more high risk as you don’t always have the ball but it’s a lot less boring, easy to read and defend against.

We only had 51% possession so yeah, we have less of the ball but do more with it.

There's a cracking Toby carvery within walking distances as well, Levy's 'ace up the sleeve' when negotiating I imagine.
Jose is literally living the dream.

Yeah I do love that white Webb’s carvery !

I'll take 40% possession but clean sheet victories every game. Some past days of 60+% possession but slumbering through the match were dross.

We had 70% possession games under avb where i wanted to kill myself.

Absolutely loving the mentality this guy has in saying the quote below.. The lads will be mental to not wanna win things with him. Hope they can wake up soon and feel how blessed they are..

I thought this quote just before above was great too!

"Sad is grief. When you lose somebody. You have be sad, you have to be grieving, you have to be crying. But there is no solution. You lose a person – there is no way of changing that. You lose a football match – there is always the next one.

I used to have a Poch one which someone ripped off and put on a T-shirt (not claiming it’s the most original thing in the world but it was clearly my photoshopped image). Wouldn’t have considered it for Mourinho - Guevara was Argentinian and born round the corner from Poch, not that people seem to care about such details when making memes

This is one of the things I knew I was excited about before the first match under Mourinho. No more possession just for the sake of it. No more hogging the ball in the most obscure areas. I love this idea that your team doesn't have to keep the ball.

That performance and result was for all those spurs and other fans who said Jose would bring us boring defensive football, anyone who said that has never properly watched or understood Jose teams.

As I posted before:
-his first Chelsea team was exciting
-his Real Madrid team scored over 116 goals in the league which was a record
-Inter Milan scored decent amount of goals they just are remembered for one incredibly effective resilent defensive display down to 10 men away to barcelona
-his 2nd Chelsea team won the league and scored tons of goals

Great performance great win!

I said similar when he came in mate, any times he played boring football were a consequence of what he inherited. That Chelsea team with Robben, Cole, Duff and Drogba etc played some exciting stuff. He’s inherited an exciting attacking unit here and look what he’s doing already.

A big issue we had under AVB, and bit with Pochettino especially towards the end, is a lot of teams will happily allow you to dominate possession if you’re not being particularly progressive with it. For a start it allows the opposition team to organise and get into shape making them much harder to breakdown. Secondly it slows down attacks and the possibility of counter attacks. Thirdly you’re more likely to give the ball away in a dangerous position, like the centre of the park or in front of your own box when you do lose possession.

Fully agree, Chelsea had 70% possession against Everton, and I loved how that worked out for them.

Exactly, especially when you lose intensity or a magnet like Dembele.

City can do it because they have so many options and so many players that are creative and good dribblers in tight spaces. Still, even they get caught out a lot and now that they miss quality CBs they are getting punished more.

Hopefully Jose will give us a nice balance

I may be wrong, but I believe Drogba and Robben were two of his first signings at Chelsea.

I do agree with your point though. I think we're just a couple of players (fullback & CM/CDM) away from being able to play very similar football to that 2004-2006 Chelsea team.

I love Jose Mourinho...

AnotherSpursFan · Dec 8, 2019

Well, at least this manager is going to rest Harry Kane for a pointless match.

I love him already.
