Just get Klopp in already. Good long term option. Good football. Good with young players. Not a loose cannon. A proven winner. Multiple league titles and one CL final with lowly Dortmund. One bad season, yes, but that doesn't mean he's not a top manager. I know this might sound radical to some of Mourinho's acolytes, but consider what's best for Chelsea. This team is in a decline already. Our board were mad to give him a new contract when they did.

Falcao?? HAHAHAHAA! You can't make this up. 2-0?? Game over

Ivanovic is such a liability, it's a joke. Raped by Montero and Sterling in his first two matches. He's abysmal.

1st shot on target about 70 mins later.

Another 0 shot on target Mourinho specialty of course.

You could make a much stronger case for Mourinho vs Pellegrini. One knows how to create organised attacks, one is very good at organizing defence. One makes proactive decisions in big matches, the other makes reactive decisions. One allows for beautiful football, with a long term playing philosophy at a big club. The allows for turgid, sometimes unwatchable football that relies on his players' individual quality and has been a short term fix throughout his career.

1st corner of the game after 50+ mins.

Wow, JT off. Makes no sense. Cahill should have been off.

When he tries to show some urgency, by playing quick one-two's, his teammates, especially Costa is never on the same wavelength. This goes back to my initial comment on how Hazard has become too good for us (painful but true, only highlighted by lack of quality signings.) and how Mourinho's playing philosophy (or lack thereof) means he won't achieve his full potential here. He'll be off in the summer.

Hazard won the player of the year, despite of the garbage football we were playing. And that's because he's a very rugged footballer who rode the challenges despite constantly getting his shit kicked in. But you just get the feeling he will never fulfill his potential playing for this manager. My fear is he'll be off to Madrid next season. He's become too good for us. That's a fact.

Why are people even surprised by this? When I made a comment about how this team is in decline, how Mourinho was not and will never be a long term solution and how his brand or football and coaching strengths were the antithesis of this New Chelsea, I got a lot of shit for it. People calling me a "fake fan" a "Mourinho hater" and all this other rubbish. I'm no prophet, but I do know quite a bit about football and Mourinho's history to know we were going to be in trouble eventually.

C'mon now. Don't have a go at Hazard because he plays for a manager who doesn't know how to set up organised attacks or coach a ball playing philosophy. Aguero will do nothing in this current Chelsea side under this manager. Hazard has already proven himself in the past. Imagine him in a team that actually knows how to play football.

Could be 5-0, tbf

Fabregas again abysmal. He's completely pointless vs any half decent team.

This team can't even play football anymore. Just relies on luck, individual brilliance (Hazard) and set-pieces to score. Mourinho effect.

The Mourinho effect.

Costa is a fucking idiot. Play football and stop being a thug. Guy is fast becoming a liability.

This looks like a big team vs a small team so far.

woeful ball from Fabregas. The decline in his technical ability and decision making has declined so badly, it's a joke really.

The real conspiracy is Ramires

What happened to Victor Moses?

Does anyone really believe he's injured? Just another excuse for Mourinho to play Zouma or Ramires in midfield. Whether that's justified or not remains to be seen.

Apparently, Dr Carneiro hasn't been back at Chelsea since Mourinho called her a "filha de puta" (son of a bitch, or more literally, daughter of a bitch) in front of 41,000 people. Fearn was present at the meeting, but she wasn't. I won't be surprised if she now resigns and sues the club for constructive dismissal. If this happens, I don't see how Mourinho can keep his job. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11804493/Eva-Carneiro-not-seen-at-Chelsea-training-ground-since-Jose-Mourinho-criticism-as-Blues-boss-remains-defiant.html I was planning on writing a pretty lengthy comment on Dr Mourinho's bizarre (but predictable) press conference today, his refusal to apologize and his threats to walk out, and what this means for the future of the club, but I'll save it for tomorrow. The fact that the club is empowering this egomaniac by not forcing him to apologize to both Fearn and Carniero, shows an incredible shortsightedness and an unwillingness to learn from Mourinho's chequered history.

Made my day, this.

I know this might seem to be knit-picking his behaviour, but I've studied Mourinho and his antics for years. He does do this sometimes. He's never self critical in the really big matches, like the champions league knock-out phase or just decisive matches in general. That's the point. That's when the blame game tends to occur.
