Sorry Jose, but your continuing faith in Ivanovich and Fabregas is going to cost you your job mate.

I haven't taken a drink for 19 fucking years.........Well I'm having one now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Useless fuckers

Last week against Arsenal. Thats what Oscar does, Matic used to. But I agree, we haven't shown that side of our game this season. I am so fucking angry now that I would even take on Costa

And have we really troubled them so far? We are being outplayed at our own game of closing down and hassling the opposition, and we just don't seem to be up for it.

Utter rubbish......I really pity the fans who made the journey to watch this tripe. We're a fucking disgrace

In fairness to Costa, I hear he is out on the training ground every day this week with Ivanovich........Branislav is teaching him how to play while holding your hands behind your back, because he has mastered it once the opposition attack our 18 yard box

If we cant win here on Saturday then we may just forget about the rest of the season. This lot are a joke this season, turning up in tuxedo's and playing like penguins. We will win 2-0 and put the barcode jinx to bed. Anyway, it's the last time we will play them for a few years as they are dropping down at the end of this season. Pathetically poor team and our fortunes are turning for the better...................And the managers name doesn't begin with a P

Nice piece and generally agree mate....Just feel you're a tad harsh on Fabregas. A vastly improved performance from the drivel he was producing I felt.

I wont get too carried away with this result. Although we played well and it has been a vast improvement on the last couple of weeks, we were only playing against 10 men and then nine for the second half. Arsenal do seem to have an inferior complex when they come to the Bridge of late and the sendings off didn't help. I will say that Costa should also have seen red, but the same thing has happened us in the past, so it's karma. I think next week away to the barcodes will test our mettle and then we will see how much the improvement in form has progressed. Still. I will take today's win and enjoy it. Happy to see Hazard and Fabregas getting back to form. The futures bright, the futures blue..

I really dont want to see Ivanovich playing against Arsenal. I would like to see Baba and Loftus-Cheek getting a start and if we do lose playing them Mourinho can at least say he tried to change the side. But if we lose with the same side that went out against Everton we will all be thinking "What if?" We need to evolve and what better team to start against than Arsenal.

A 3-0 win for us, with a big change in personnel and formation............Then back to the same shit against Arsenal..... Well I can dream, cant I ?

Just put on the TV and saw the result...WTF is going on. Only thing is that now I know the result I wont have to watch this embarrassment on MOTD tonight. And reading the comments on here it seems like it was the same shite, just a different day. Is Ivanovich into bondage or something? Fucking hands behind his back 20 yards out from the goals. I said he should be dropped (preferably on his fucking head!!) and until I see some positional or personnel changes I can honestly say that we are fucked.. No pride, passion, heart or desire to play for the manager or club. Jose, get yer finger out and work your so called magic. You're paid a shit load of money, have a shit load of so called stars, so make it fucking work. We are in a worse melt-down than Utd under Moyes, and look how far United have fallen since. This is fucking embarrassing and I am fucking really pissed off. Another weekend where the wife feels the brunt of this. Play the fucking kids............At least they would play with a bit of passion.

The team as it is at present looks bereft of ideas, and, dare I say it (so early in the season) TIRED. Ivanovich needs to be benched forthe rest of the season. fabregas needs to get his head out of his arse. Hazard really needs to discover his true form as he is a shadow of the player we had last season. Costa needs to drop the boxing gloves and concentrate on scoring goals again.Willian, try and find your shooting boots son, because you couldn't even hit the back of the Shed End lately. Have to say Kenedy looked impressive, but then we only saw a flash of him. Everton will be a very tough test for us as usual. A positive result here should kick start our season, so a little more attacking inovation and perhaps a change to 4-4-2 could do the trick

Have we nobody in the academy who is promising enough to promote.? Hope this guy is good, otherwise it will send out a very negative message to our young uns

Totally agree, but Ivanovich has to be dropped. He's a liability. Is it any wonder they're stalling on a new contract. Start Rahman on the left, Aspi on the right. Drop Willian and start Kenedy, please!!!Ramires may be off the boil, but fuck, he has to be better that Fabregas at the present time.Play Zouma at DMC and bench Matic, he's been absent this season. And Hazard ?? WTF?? anonimous so far this season. Bring back Oscar (not neccessarly for Hazard)), he usually has a good first half to the season. Finally Costa...I think he's starting to believe that because he's at Chelsea he has it made and is undroppable. Well Falcao scored a neat goal today and he can't be any worse. Even Remy would give us more. A piss poor start, and I fear it will only get worse looking at our new few fixtures. As for Champions League.........FORGET IT

Ivanovic, Fabregas and Willian, get yer finger out for the second half. You're well below par guys. 3rd game into the season so time to fucking wake up.

Fabregas.........WTF man!!!!! get a grip and pass the fucking ball to a CHELSEA player

I don't think that too many team changes are needed. Ivanovich probably needs dropping. In my opinion (for what it's worth ) it's our tactics we need to change. We are now getting easy to anticipate. We play the ball out from the back,playing it across the back line, then pass to Matic, he lays it out to Willian/Hazard, they excange short passes and then run with the ball to the edge of the 18 box. We then try and switch the ball across the box to the other wing, with noboby making cutting runs into the box and the move breaks down. Either that or Iva hits the first defender with his cross. Teams just sit across their 18 box and we cant break them down. 4-4-2 and attack, that's my idea. We have the players with the speed and skill to terrorise defences if we break quickly with intent. But our back four (at present) must stay deep as we are getting ripped apart when we play a high line. But then, what the f#ck do I know..... :blue scalf:

Or worse.......United under Moyes??

Depressing performance by a team looking bereft of new ideas. We huffed and puffed and never got out of the starting blocks. Only for Begovic we could have been 4-0 down at half time, and deservedly so. We were awful. our defence was ripped to shreds time and time again. Ivanovic cant cross a ball, he hit the first opposing player with every cross, and pulled out of the tackle for their third goal. John Terry was exposed for pace and rightly taken off at half time. Ramires was lost and had no impact whatsoever except for when he scored (and he was onside) after that he was non- existant. Fabregas!!!! Worst performance of his career in my estimation. So poor, he looked totally disinterested and out of his depth. This is the guy who set the league alight at the start of last season. Hazard couldn't get on the ball in the way he likes and when he did he was still off the pace. Very disappointing. Costa is really beginning to carve out a new career for himself...in fighting.!!! I know he is probably getting very frustrated by the lack of chances being created for him but wtf?? He would fight the pope!! A shadow of the player he was last season. Cuadrado is not Chelsea class. The guy looked lost. I dont think he will ever improve to a standard that will challenge Oscar, Willian or Hazard. Moses would give us more I think. The rest of the team were average......But this is far from acceptable for the Premier champions. A United type of season on the cards I fear. Our attack lacks pace, ideas and a cutting edge. I get annoyed watching us bombing down the pitch, stopping at the edge of the 18 yard, passing backwards, the across the pitch, then back again, then back to the defenders to start all over again. No cutting edge whatsoever. We need to freshen it up big time. Teams have found out how to play against us and they make us look ordinary. Mourinho needs to get his finger out and shake the team up. Another tough test next weekend against a well organised West Brom. Lets hope that he learns from the obvious shortcoming that we have shown so far and corrects them.............quickly, very quickly

Mikel or should I say Mik hell. Once again he gets caught on the ball. He's a bloody passenger and needs to find himself a new team. When I saw his name on the team sheet i expected no less from him, and he duly delivered. He's like a shire horse in among the thoroughbreds. Get rid......soon. Falcao impressive I thought, but as was already stated on the forum he, or Costa just weren't given the service for them to shine. Moses did ok and scored. But if he hadn't scored his performance would not have been noticed (be honest !!) Courtois.what can I say??? What a penalty!! Everyone else did ok. First half we were a bit unbalanced and were overrun. Second half more like the Chelsea I want to see. Finally..........Ibrahimovich is a cunt

OK, Stones is not world class.........But he has the potential to be, and that is what Jose sees. They're are not too many players of his age labelled "World Class" but given the right environment I firmly believe that this guy will turn into the player we need to replace John Terry. He's English, he's young and he has talent. If we dont buy him one of the other big clubs will snap him up, and then we will regret it.This guy has learned all he can at Everton, now it's time to step up a grade and prove that he can do it. Buy him...at all costs.

If Stones possesses any small bit of ambition he will want to join Chelsea. He can stay with Everton and the little whinger of a manager,but he will regret it for the rest of his career. He wont win trophies at Everton and he wont improve as a player either as he wont have anyone to mentor him because he's the best at that club already. Stevie G made that mistake and stayed at Pool but he never won the trophy he craved, and he knew that he would have won a few Premierships with us. Therefore, I would like to introduce our new number 6......John Stones.....Com'n son, you know it makes sense :blue scalf:

Wow, These plans dont just depict a football stadium.............They depict a statement of intent :blue scalf:

I have been reading this thread and it seems that people are split on Peter leaving us. Some are pleased for him, and others are annoyed that he is leaving. Well lets be brutally honest and list a few facts, and then I'll give my feelings on this transfer. Fact......Petr was a super servant to Chelsea for many years now. Fact......He has won everything he could at Chelsea. Fact......He didn't make any waves when he was dropped for Courtois. Fact......He is a true gentleman and superb professional. But Fact.....He lost his place because we now have a better keeper. Fact.....He wont get game time with us next season either. Fact.....He's a good keeper, but he wont win Arsenal a Premiership title.(Because the rest of that team is crap) Fact.....He's getting on, his family is settled and he doesn't want to uproot them. And Arsenal being the second best team in London were the only team to bid. Fact....This was a family decision and not really a football one. He will be well paid, play top grade football and see out his remaining football career incomfort. Fact....He will never get another big transfer payday Fact....Although not good enough for a starting place at Chelsea, he will significantly improve Arsenal........but not enough to overtake us. So.......My verdict is that although I am a bit sad to see him go, I will wish him all the best in the twilight years of his career. But for Chelsea it is onwards and upwards, and if you're not good enough to play regulary and want first team football, well them perhaps it's right to sign for a lesser side than us, to secure that for yourself. Good luck Petr, we will miss you, But the time is right for the parting of the waves.
