Azpi's finishing >> Willian's finishing. They score a similar amount of goals, so....

AZPILICUETA? LOL! HAHAHAHAAA. Nice one, Son!

Willian can't even finish his breakfast properly. This guy has no business being a starter for Chelsea.

Willian. So predictable. Just fuck off, you twat. Average player.

Their goal from Fabregas giving the ball away like a little kid.

Fabregas has been woeful.

That's what happens when you have a player that can SHOOT. Take notes Willian.

WTF is Costa doing? He's like a fucking statue out there. Second time now.

Remy should be our number 1 striker for now till Costa sorts himself out. Falcao has done nothing to warrant starting ahead of Loic.

Boring, turgid, clueless and uninspiring football. Now, no longer can be excused as winning football, as if it ever could.Lack of trust in youth team players despite the owner spending millions in youth team. Apparently, Mourinho needs only 10 minutes to know if they're any good.Bizarre and irrational behaviour, undermining the club in public. The latest being the doctor-gate, which is still ongoing.Same tactics in the big games, regardless of it these tactics work or not.A sharp increase in negativity towards the club, because of the manager's antics. And not just by rival fans too. Clear favouritism towards certain players, regardless of their performance. No progress whatsoever in our style of play. If anything, many of our players have declined technically. Just look at Fabregas in the last 7 months.Blaming everyone but himself for his failures. Apparently, "3-0 is a fake result". Maybe he was watching a different game. 7-1 was a fair score-line. Team in decline even from last season. I called it back then, but apparently, I was a "fake fan" and a "Mourinho hater"Manager's coaching philosophy does not fit the New Chelsea. That's very obvious. We're supposed to be a big club, but we don't play like one.The board not making a serious attempt to sign players in the transfer window. Make of it all, as you wish. You guys already know my views on Mourinho and how he is not a long term solution for us and never was.

I fully expect him to start the next game. This guy must be thanking his luck! "I play like shit, but the boss still starts me every game? wow.." Brana the untouchable!! Carry on, mate. Carry on.

Mourinho's tactical ability is vastly overrated, as much as the clueless, lazy english press mythologize it. Park the bus and hope for a goal on a counter attack or a set-piece. If the opposition press high, man mark tightly and are very physical with us, we crumble like a park of cards. Pellegrini figured him out. They've been by far the better team in virtually every match between us since that 1-0 win. Of course, the clueless, lazy english press will barely give Pellegrini any credit.

On Sky now : "the 3-0 is completely fake". This man is delusional.

Man City only signed 1 player in their starting XI. The difference between us and them is in the quality of football produced, not in new signings. The excuse about a lack of signings is wearing thin. That's the lesser problem.

Shame some of Mourinho's fans aren't as balanced and sensible as you are. Anyway, I think the mods need to be on full alert on this thread. Emotions are bound to run high, and so are petty insults.

This trashing has been coming. It could have come in the CL game at Paris last season (another game were we parked the bus, and looked like a clueless small club in the grandest stage). Courtois performed some miracles. This time no escaping the harsh reality.

Another woeful tactical performance. 2-3 shots on target in 180 minutes of football. Our players on the pitch, they look like they don't have a clue what to do. The novelty of the Costa and Fabregas signings have worn off. There's a reason why he doesn't last more than 3 seasons at a club. Do we even practice organised attacks? That is practicing our build up play, combinations, stuff like that, when we have the ball? You see it in the teams managed by Guardiola, Bielsa, Rodgers, Wenger and Ferguson in his pomp. Mourinho's teams mostly rely on individual brilliance. And when that's impossible, they crumble.

People who support Mourinho at the expense of the club aren't Chelsea fans. They are fans of a man, and his name is Jose Mourinho.

Diabolical. Can't fully blame him though. A player like him is bound to look like a deer in the headlights playing for this Mourinho side.

God, no. I know Roman likes him, but Guardiola's problem is that he is too radical. We need a balanced manager.

Maybe JT is the new scapegoat. Lol, what a joke.

Mourinho has run out of ideas. He has run his course with this team as he has nothing to offer us anymore. There's a reason why he's been a short term fix his entire career. Anyway, these were my thoughts after the loss to Arsenal a few weeks ago. Still rings true now. What have we seen so far that we DIDN'T see in the 2nd half of the season? Or for majority of the 2013/14 season? Against big sides, specifically in the CL? * Is it hopeful lobs to no one in particular? Or wingers playing as fullbacks, spending more time in the opposition half? * Or 3-4 passes in our "built attacks" then a player hoofing it to no one in particular? Or passing it to Ivanovic to cross the ball to no one in particular? Or ZERO shots on target for over 70 minutes? * Or Ramires being an automatic, unjustified starter? Or Hazard receiving the ball in bad positions, before being crowded out? I can go on. Gone are the days we actually play well in both halves. When we do well in one half, the team becomes defensive in the other or vice versa. This was all predictable to anyone who knows quite a bit about football and the history of Jose Mourinho, the manager. No signs of practicing organised attacks, instead a brief period of dominance then an overreliance on individual brilliance of 1 player. Whether it's Drogba, Milito, Ronaldo, now Hazard. When the team became "defense + Hazard" for the 2nd season in a row, I knew we were headed in the wrong direction. We all wanted to blame it on "fatigue", but that was only part of the problem. The bulk of our problems lies at the feet of the manager. The technical quality of most of our players has gone down the drain. We now rely on instictive talents of our attackers to win us games instead of anything coached on the training ground. That might work against smaller, weaker teams, but against stronger sides, it won't. I know many people in this thread will start blaming individuals again, I won't because I know better. Our players are MUCH better than they have shown today. I know what they are all capable of and I know why they've played the way they did today. I refuse to blame any of them. I'm not that surprised Roman has failed to back Mourinho in the transfer market. Signings will have been a temporary solution to a permanent problem. We will be lucky to scape 3rd place this season. CL? forget about it. At the first sight of a big team, we will park the bus and be humiliated again like against PSG and Atletico. We might win the FA cup, but that's about it. Time to wake up. This team is already on the decline under this manager.

Jurgen Klopp. You're gonna get a lot of shit for this thread from Mourinho's worshippers, (who aren't Chelsea fans btw), but I think it's warranted. Mourinho has run out of ideas. He can't take this team forward any longer. Klopp is the perfect fit. Absolutely, no to Guardiola. Simeone's style of football is not compatible with this squad.

The players are better than they've shown. Mourinho has run out of ideas. It's that simple. The primary problem is the manager not the players.

Terrible football, now poor results. Lack of trust, utilization of youth Obvious favouritism towards certain players Insane, bizarre outbursts in the press. Negativity encircling the club Only short-termism, no long term considerations.
