I'm still looking for a reason why I might enjoy watching CFC play now that Drogba's time is truly done. Jose and whatever is going on within the organization are making enjoyment nearly impossible. I'm skipping more matches and fast-fowarding through some of the play. At this rate, I'll be done watching football within a couple years. better things to do with the time left in life.

Hazard to be benched more until he's a "team player" for Jose's Chelsea. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-says-eden-hazard-6652824 Interesting development. wonder where that's headed. How do you like being expected to carrying the team that is so inept at attacking and always the one to be kicked by the opposition? Will your knees hold out? Better in Spain or Paris?

This isn't going to last. Doomed manager. Never figured it out, still won't figure it out. tick-tick.

Ferguson's new book, Leading has good reviews. Might be the first ever book I buy from sport people. I'm more interested in usefulness as opposed to entertainment and nostalgia.

We should be playing 4-3-3 some of the time at Chelsea with RLC in the mix. would do well for our future and maybe help the present.

the seething drone of the 1st game's soundtrack along with the freshness of the story and its combat make Assassin's Creed 1 a landmark game in all my years of gaming (since Atari and Colecovision).

Simeone is also the wrong manager. No. We need to evolve, not hold or shrink.

they started on that because I quoted Sir Alex: "what you do on the training ground is usually what you get on Saturday."

yep. why not just go 4-3-3? I'm for it. I've been for that shit for more than 5 years while CFC haven't had 3 great attackers to put up in the AM positions. Now we might actually have 3 excellent AMs in the squad, but it's still worth playing 4-3-3 when all the opposition just pack it in and Chelsea pass too slow in the opponent's half. The problem for me is that --as SAF said again tonite on the radio: "what you do on the training ground is usually what you get on Saturday." If it were up to Cesc Fabregas, a Chelsea training session and match might look more like a brisk, quick-passing, flowing Chelsea attack --or like a classic Man Utd attack. I doubt Mourinho and his staff have it in them to produce this. Meanwhile at Anfield...

after this "ask the players" bullshit, I really wish someone among the players has spoken up or will speak up this week. We can probably wager already that Chelsea won't be in CL football next year unless other sides have injuries and fall apart later this season. So, the question is all about keeping our most valuable players for the future while not in the CL. I can't see a bad side to changing the manager despite the fact that he might not be the perfect one for the long-term. It's only going to be a few more bad results and poor performances then this manager is gone. That's the sound of inevitability, Mr. Mourinho.

if there were a younger manager like Eddie Howe Chelsea could hire, I would be for that.

anyone tried some good drugs lately? anyone watching South Park these days? waiting for the 2nd Mourinho term to end.

dribbling down blind alleys, creating nothing from open play and interplay... also, too SLOW. When these things go away, I will enjoy Chelsea's football. However, I've been waiting for years for this to go away and for Chelsea to consistently pass quickly and readily to teammates getting quickly into open space or beyond opposition defence. So many times, it's like a dream that Chelsea will never realize, so I just watch some other clubs play for that --ie. "real football." flowing football won't be realized under Jose. the enjoyable Chelsea that I want to see needs a fresh manager and coaching staff. now, Chelsea can't even grind out wins in their typical boring fashion. Time to dump the manager.

worked for Ancelotti's AC Milan, but not for Chelsea. after all those millions spent, there was never a great front 4 for that 4231 at Chelsea.

I, for one, WOULD get on an online forum and praise a football club IF they demonstrated consistency and promise. Chelsea repeatedly have lacked a balanced squad and consistently lacked promising build-up play since about 2005. Some people can reply that they've been fans since the 60s or 70s; I really don't care. Why would I watch something that consistently disappoints and offers very little in the way of hope? That's just depressing. **one note: I basically missed all of the successful Ancelotti season, so I cannot comment on that one season. If it weren't for Didier Drogba, I probably would have never bothered watching Chelsea after 2005 and IMO Chelsea relied upon him for way more than they ever should have since Robben's departure (among others). When Nemanja Matic returned, David Luiz and F. Torres departed, I began to think that Chelsea were turning a page. With this manager, I cannot say things have a shimmer of hope --even if we have had success scouting and signing to potentially brilliant players while also fostering some good talent in the youth team and reserves. Jose, Emanalo, et al. can sign the best young players and we can all talk about Jose as "one of the best," but on any given week, one of the most dreadful matches I've had to watch for years has involved SLOW, INCOMPETENT Chelsea on the attack. HOW IS THAT CHANGING NOW? It's hard to know what exactly has happened to Cesc Fabregas in one year, but it's possible that --Chelsea-- happened to him --along with the fact that he shouldn't be sitting in front of the back four. Jose's fault; not the player. The other possibility is that it's just the player and his own life/career/physical fitness, etc. --which I doubt is the main reason. A player from Barca comes to Chelsea... that's a story of a player moving from a quick, up-tempo, cohesive passing side to one that plods along every week, sometimes increasing the tempo, but often relying too much upon individuals (who are not Messi or Ronaldo, or Marcelo, or Xavi, BTW).

bunch of nonsense discussion. Chelsea need a next manager, the kind that AVB was supposed to be. this league is moving forward and it looks to me that Chelsea don't know what they're doing (although the same can be said for clubs like Newcastle and Sunderland).

Time for a manager change --and no, it's not Simeone, nor any of the big names. someone fresh, but capable as a tactician, willing to take some risks, develop young players with time on the pitch. It doesn't take a genius to park a bus when needed, so get someone who can potentially do it all because it's not possible to build a future with Jose's mentality. bunch of bullshit and regression with this guy. I'm done being on the fence. Jose out.

I'm done watching this team until the manager leaves. got better things to do and I don't want to feel bad about football with some idiot ruining it for everyone.

No one on this side will realize his full potential under this manager.

this needs to stop. this is absolute crap. someone else needs to build the New Chelsea and get the squad playing both attacking, cohesive football and solid defence. I've seen enough of this regressive Jose shite show and for 7 years, Chelsea have been the boring big money club that every neutral hates for a good reason. time to move forward with fresh faces for coaching and management. stop wasting talent on shit football.

Maybe next week CFC can finally crack into the relegation zone.

this team is going to crap because of the manager. Why do the Spanish players come to Chelsea aside from the money?
