The FA has certainly put a muzzle on him after all his fines this season, so many fines... 4231 is the best for the modern game. It accommodates speed and dribbling really well and tactically flexible, even Pellegrini stopped experimenting went with 4231 (when he plays Milner on the right of the attack that is practically like Mourinho playing Ramires there). 4231 is the stem cell of football formations it can easily be whatever you want it to be.

Anyone else see Mateo Kovacic dicking Lazio yesterday? We need to sign that kid before Barcelona go after him.

4-4-2 is dead and 3-5-2 is for the Italians.

A Jaded Mourinho is still has 10x more character than the average manager. Our problem is the squad has too much drywood, plain and simple. 4-2-3-1 doesn't mean you're fielding two DMs, not at all. it's mean't for 1 holding mid and 1 box-to-box mid. Ramires is our only good box-to-box and even he gets about 10 feet into a run and loses the ball. If you look back at the Stoke City game. Matic started off as the holding mid and Lamps as more of a box-to-box but as the match warmed up they were switching their roles.

First off that was a JPEG not a GIF, if it was a GIF it would work as a posted image.

Burn that Torres shirt now.

Let me say this for the 10th time. Lukaku isn't stupid, hes actually really smart and is humble in life. He knows his position and who he is and what he's done. He knows rightfully for a club like ours he needs to happily accept a back-up striker role. After he missed that penalty for us he was rattled, he knows the responsibility there is in being first striker for an expensive club. What scared him was Eto'o coming in and him being 4th striker, and rightfully so a young guy like him shouldn't like that. Anyone claiming he has a problem with being second striker is totally out of order.

This is just the begging, a lot of things to look forward to next season. We came close and managed to stay competitive with some really good teams, in terms of winning trophies we were competing with some really amazing teams. I think the changes needed are clear and next season we can better no doubt. We're ending off the season in a good spot seeing as we finished top 4 in both domestic and European leagues.

I'll take CL semi final over Europa league trophy any year of my life.

Willian's chant has grown on my so much, I love it.

Yeah I'm not a fan of that attitude. Its just unprofessional, even you're a master you don't ever say it about yourself. I'm all for having our players jacked up on confidence just don't let the cameras and our opponents see it. You only show a humble attitude to the public and you surprise them with the confidence on the pitch.

The wolds greatest rustler of jimmies. He's got everyone playing right into his pocket. Nobody cares less about Jose Mourinho's comments and actions than Jose himself and that's his magic.

'Because we are the famous CFC'

Palace to beat City and Liverpool because none of the other teams they face will succeed.

As crude as our tactics are, they're working as usual.

Sign him up!

If you look at 5 seconds into that video there is a similar shadow moving slowly in the BLUE stands. When they zoom in later you can't see the second shadow. It's probably just the result of powerful flood lights pointing at a low flying spider cam. The way the shadow distorts over the seats and people made it look like it had legs by chance.

I really don't mind my Hazard 17 shirt, I think it just becomes more legit if his number changes to 10 next season.

Can we just sign Ronaldo and play him as a striker?

We need to help Palace for next weekend, red cards, injuries, the works.

LoL that dive was sneaky, I've seen much more pathetic dives. I'd still take Balotelli to Chelsea.

- He can't shoot, and none of our players so if we buy someone they better be able to shoot - Tactically inept, all he can do is wait on the sidelines for the ball. Get Di Maria to do anything else or play anywhere else and he gets into people's way and is blind to his teammates playing in the middle. I really don't like him between Ronaldo and Bale he's much better as a winger. - He overrates himself and always goes for the most difficult choices - Disappointing stamina - Foul and yellow card magnet - Worst of all is that he becomes extremely predictable as the mach goes on, he isn't this mercurial guy people imagine. He's not shit in the sense that he doesn't have talent because he does. The signing would be shit because we wouldn't improve. He's just going to be more trouble than he's worth. He's going to want a raise and he won't change anything for us but waste money. On another note to change the subject. What signings would be better ST/ST/LB or ST/LB/CM????

Let me tell one thing. When I was living at home my family was a Benfica family so I watched a lot of Benfica and we also watched a lot of Madrid. I'm sure I've seen more of Di Maria than 99% of Chelsea fans and he's shit, not worth it. Every game where he had a fantastic minute he had 10 shitty minutes. He's graceful and nice to watch but there is absolutely no reason to sign Di Maria.

Honestly I will no longer make note of your suggestions, just kidding but seriously. Did you watch the Real Madrid game? Di Maria probably put of the worst performance of his life couldn't get out a pass to save his life. He is blows hot and cold. Di Maria is easily in my top 5 overrated players in the world list. Poor decision making and can very often vanish for much of a game. Anyone who suggest Di Maria is a good buy, I will seriously doubt you watch football consistently.
