Set-piece , defensive blunder or own goal. Jose style.

Kenedy should come on for Oscar in the 2nd half. Hazard should drop back to the 10 role. That will most likely marginally improve our play.

There are other forums out there, you know. Just because someone agrees with your views doesn't = logic and sense.

The fact that he's always injured when Costa is injured/suspended is strange, if not even suspicious.

Buy attacking team filled with flair players and try and rebrand clubs image -- Hire Mourinho, the most conservative, negative and volatile manager in world football. Roman logic. I'm in agreement with some of Ossie's views on Abramovich and his clueless/chaotic running of this club.

Mourinho's management of this team has been an utter failure. All he has to hang on to is his PL medal.

Mourinho should thank god he had Hazard carrying his team's attack for almost an entire half of last season. This game is a further expose of Mourinho and his tactical deficiencies

I....can't...watch...anymore. It's just painful. Painful to watch.

Pochettino. A young, PL proven manager who isn't adverse to the idea of actually giving talented young players a chance. His teams play well too. The entire club needs a bottom-up approach to get rid of the rot, make use of the best youth team in Europe and to eradicate the pathetic "football".

1 shot on target from a corner. A tribute to Mourinho

This reminds me of PSG - Chelsea away last season. Remember that shit? This is why we shouldn't go for SImeone. We need a manager with an attacking football philosophy who can undo the damage.

They should just look at the fucking state of Us and ponder. Long and hard.

That's a yellow card for Young everyday of the week, Atkinson you cunt.

We obviously can't pass the ball out from our defense. We can't deal with a simple press. Mourinho failed to implement such a fundamental part of buliding an attack in his 3 years here. Instead, it's hoof it to Ivanovic for a knockdown.

Mourinho ball. . It will take some time for Hiddink to implement his ideas.

Or Kenedy

A barely fit one as well. Thank you. I've been informed about that.

Remy always injured when he has his chance to play. Sad. Fabregas has a "flu"? Don't believe it. Almost too convenient.

Remy and Fabregas not even on the bench. Wow. What a joke season. Fuck this shit.

Interestingly enough, I just realized Costa has never faced Man United before, playing for us.

Simeone has one of the best young teams in Europe in Atletico Madrid and he's in a position were he's not under a tremendous amount of pressure to fight for the league title. Atletico Madrid are by far the 3rd best team in La Liga and should come 3rd again with ease. At Chelsea, he knows he will be under tremendous amount of pressure to succeed, regardless of what our board promise him. It will be CL-less football next season with a fairly unbalanced squad in a very competitive league. So, apart from the money, I don't really see what makes us so attractive to a guy like SImeone. He's better off staying with that young Atletico Madrid squad and building them to something truly something special than coming here.

Ha, he's amazing. I love his game.

Our Pasalic, Coric, Brekalo, Mamic, Halilovic, Moro, Balic, Vlasic, Rog, Mamic. That's some of the best young players in Europe right there. And that's without mentioning the older but still very young Brozovic, and Kovacic. The talent coming out of Croatia now is unbelievable. It's insane.

The likes of Andre Gomes or Ruben Neves won't be signable in January, so we should go for Amadou Diawara. We've been linked with him in the past and apparently, we even bid for him. He's still young, but he's absolutely fantastic. Offer Bologna an amount they can't refuse. Then sell both Mikel and Ramires in the summer. They offer us nothing. Then we try for either Ruben Neves or Andre Gomes. Of course, RLC is right in the picture as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uko2uWxDP18 (video of Diawara) The CB issue is a problem as well Cahill isn't good enough (he's been a good player for us, but just keeps on getting worse) and Zouma is still too raw and makes too many errors. But there are hardly any quality CB's we can sign in January . We have Christensen on loan who is already one of the best CB's in Germany and is going to be an immense player for us. In the summer, we should Sell Cahill and sign another experienced CB to replace him. That way, we have JT, *experienced CB*, Zouma and Christensen. A good balance in terms of age and quality. Problem solved. Even if that's all we do in the summer, (which it obviously shouldn't), and we manage to keep our current best players, (which is very unlikely) , that should be a decent January/Summer transfer window(s).

I didn't neccesarily agree with him being subbed off at half-time for Mikel of all bloody people, because we were chasing the game really. But if this isn't a big indictment of how much of a liability Fabregas is tactically, then I don't know what is. His positional sense is laughably non-existent. From an athletic view point, he's a joke. And I don't like it when he plays the number 10 either because most of the time, he looks lost and does nothing. Right now, I'm not against the idea of selling him in the summer while he is still worth something. Not because he's not a very good player, but because it's becoming increasingly difficult to fit him into any tactical system. At Arsenal, everything was built around him, and that made him thrive, but that isn't going to happen here.
