Also think that a lot of his decisions in the second stint have made no sense at all, he has sold KDB, Mata, Schurrle, Lukaku etc and then completely forgot about his squad last season. He realized this season that all of his big players had played far too much and were mentally & physically tired so he is now making random changes. All just seems totally bizarre.
Schurrle was a mistake for sure. Didn't understand it at the time.

Its because they don't have a hot chick looking after them any more. Players are demoralised.
I swear I'm not a chauvinist, all in good fun ladies of the Caf.

Is it

a) Mourinho loses motivation

or

b) Mourinho doesn't have the ability to motivate players long-term?

I reckon it's B. Therein lies the genius of Ferguson - to be able to squeeze out the extra 1% out of players year after year without them tiring of his methods.

Thats a good point actually and you might be right. Could even be a little bit of A and B.

And i am biased but until he does it over a long period at one club i will never rate him as highly as Fergie either. His record is amazing but he has joined clubs at the right times as well if you know what i mean.

If he persists with the hilariously awful Ivanovic, then the writing is on the wall. Ivanovic 'was' once a very good player; the word 'was' being the operative word there.

His downfall is glorious and I don't think the league would miss him if he left. He's boring in character these days and sucks the life out of big games. As he did when we went to the Bridge last season on the back of a good run.

Makes you really appreciate how good Ferguson was to manage the same team for over two decades and keep the squad hungry by being ruthless and freshening up whenever he saw complacency. Ferguson is so underrated on this board, it's ridiculous.

No chance of him going midseason.

Chelsea will get Klopp if Mou is sacked. Which is better than Liverpool getting Klopp I guess.

Wouldn't mind playing Chelsea before they recapture form! Mane is a beast.

This is crazy, Chelsea lucky not to lose a 4th!

I wouldn't sack Jose, I think he is a fantastic manager but cat see the Russian owner happy with this, especially when Klopp is clubless.

Where would Jose go, Liverpool?

He won't be sacked unless he leaves himself. I can still see them recovering and getting 4th.

I could see him having the season off and going to a big club next year.

Still would be a bad season for then. With this squad, they should be challenging for the title every season like we did under Fergie with good squads.

Remember that picture of LVG taking off his mask revealing Moyes? Someone needs to make the same for Mourinho now! :lol:

It's not the losing that is the problem. The problem on his side is the lack of any sort of change at all. Every game he puts out the same team and every game we lose. Either Mourinho has genuinely gone insane or he just doesn't care enough to change it. I can't think of any other reasonable excuse for why Ivanovic and Fabregas start every single game despite being absolute shit.
