Thats the problem with having Ramires in the pivot. He doesnt have a footballers brain.

We can't do that as we would lose one of Oscar and Willian, and both are really important in this crucial times, the first has been the rare spark and the only player who we can't criticize much since the start of the season, and Willian still gives so much energy to the team.
The solution is clear and simple, drop Fabregas, I don't care about his creativity, Ruben, Oscar, Willian and Hazard can provide that in abundance, our problems rely in conceding and struggling in possession, thus not creating chances, it's not like we have a lot of the ball, control the match but can't create chances ( which was the case in 2013-2014, and that why we brought Cesc which proved to be successful at that time ).
We need a solid midfield now.
Begovic
Zouma-Cahill-Terry-Azpilicueta
Matic(Mikel)
RLC(Ramires)-Oscar(Cesc)
Willian-Costa-Hazard

This is our best formation atm.
By the way, it was an absolutely stupid mistake to send Van Ginkel on loan, he is solid and a great tackler, he would have been starting games now, and we knew we were light in midfield

IMO Suarez is best and then Aguero. Then Benzema, Costa and Lewa, not in that order tho.
The football today is full of so called 'top' strikers, but most of them are flukes.
From Falcao who never proved himself at top club, Cavani who still lives on glory of his Napoli days but never managed to perform at top club. Also Higuain, Soldado, Negredo, Rooney,...all somehow hailed in past and worth 30m plus but neither of them ever did their job.
Where are the times when you had Drogba, Raul, RvN, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Ronaldo, David Villa, Kluivert, and many many more. Many even played on top at same time.
Now there is a bunch of wannabe top strikers ala Cavani or Falcao who achieved fuck all. Played for decent teams but never for top teams or CL. While Falcao was a beast in his time, he will never be in same category as RvN or Raul etc for me.
In these days, Im happy that there are at least Suarez who I believe is the only pure top consistent striker atm and partly Aguero.

Mourinho just needs a mixture of technical and mobile/athletic players. Which means fast centerbacks,
fullbacks that can dribble past their man like maicon/marcelo,
box to box cm who can drive through the middle like essien/vidal/matuidi,
passers who can defend like Sneijder/modric,
one dribbling winger, and one who makes runs behind the defence to score.
And a technical striker with proper holdup play and aerial ability like drogba/Milito/benzema
The only similaires between this our team and the normal type of teams he has is we have wingers hazard and pedro. We don't meet the above conditions in any other area of the team. Psg have players with every condition Mourinho teams normally have: (fast centerbacks thiago silva/marquinho, dribbling fullbacks, tackling passer Verratti, box to box matuidi, dribbling winger Lucas moura/lavezzi, Cavani to make runs from wings to score, and Ibrahimovic with the holdup play of drogba and Milito) Mourinho would destroy teams in Europe, most of those psg players are excellent at keeping balls under pressure and have the physical requirements to cope with Mourinho's tactics.

I'm more worried about players like Ramires who can't pass a ball than Falcao.

If you don't rate José Mourinho as a manager then you know fuck all about football. Sorry. He's forgotten more about football than I'll ever know. Sure, he gets it wrong now and again and even I find his rants insufferable at times. But he's the best man for the job; he's one of us, and he'll win us titles.
Fuck fancy football. I don't care. I wouldn't care if we won a league title with 20 wins and 18 draws and we only scored 20 goals all season. WINNING is entertainment; the fancy football and the 6-0 wins are all nice bonuses. We could have played pretty football, opened the game up, and got mullered like we did at White Hart Lane.
Fed up of fucking FIFA players thinking they know how to manage a team

The worst is considering currently Pep better than current Mourinho... sorry..., I may ignore the Simeone love - as someone else did - but the Pep argument is completely invalid. He DESTROYED that Bayern team, absolutely destroyed it. It came from the best team in the world by a very long distance to being spanked by RM (who they normally spank themselves)... they look nothing like the Jupp team - which was nearly unplayable. God's sake, didn't City beat them twice in one year?
If Mourinho destroyed a team like that I'd love to know what some fans enticed by the neighbor's grass would say.
They pile up excuses for their 'fave' and nitpick and judge Mourinho for everything...

Lol, I can't believe people are actually talking about sacking Mourinho.
Name one better manager in Chelsea's history...Some of you are so fickle.

Engaging in a conversation about Matic with a guy who thinks that Paulinho is actually a quality player you know.... is like talking to a virgin about women.
He also said Neymar is already one of the greatest in history, light years ahead of Hazard, so...................

Listen to yourself.The ballon D'or is an individual award. We pay Hazard's wages to win us big TEAM trophies not to win the ballon d'Or. If he wins it, i'll be very happy for him but the mere fact he plays for an English club and not the two big Spanish ones puts him in a disadvantaged position. Hazard, like every incredibly talented young player from that side of the globe dreams of winning the silly award. He's seen some of his favourite players like Zidane win it in the past and will like to win it as well. But the award has since lost it's value when it was taking from France Football and players started voting for their friends. Henry couldn't win it because UEFA hate England/English football. That's Thierry freaking Henry. That's when I realized being a great player is not enough to win the farcical award. It's even worse now that it's merged with FIFA and in this Ronaldo/Messi era.
It's also very political. Have you seen the way they campaign for it in Spain? One Madrid player comes out and says "Ronaldo is the best player in the world", then next day a Barca player comes out and says "Messi is not from this planet". You think that's coincidental? Or Madrid and Ancelotti writing letters to UEFA complaining about Platini offering an opinion on who should win it? I don't want that shit near my club and I don't think it's in the spirit of football. Ballon D'or is bad for football. Mourinho said so himself. I don't want that shit anywhere near my club.
More to the point, why should Hazard be measured by a dream that he has? That's absurd logic. It has nothing to do with nothing and only devalues the quality of the comments. It's a strange comment to make especially as Hazard has been amazing all season and it's only an individual award that does nothing for Chelsea. But type whatever suits you, I guess.

I can't for the life of me understand how a player can play in the pivot, lead tackles won in some of our matches and still be labeled as someone who can't do the same job Oscar or Willian do defensively.
Maybe they press better than him - as if our system was based that much on press to start with. There was a time this season that yes, we were a pressing machine, not as of late though, but I wouldn't call either a beast and I don't see how much inferior defensively Cesc is to any of them. If he is, it's slightly imo, something we can totally overcome.

The consistency for me is his Swansea performance everyweek, even when he didnt score, he was amazing and involved in all our attacking play /goals. That is my expectation, hazard is among the players who don't have huge stats but when you watch any match they play you'll see their value. I thought you were insisting on him playing like bale that's why I replied your previous post.

Last time I got this excited I saw the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

The fact that people kind off forget how good Kagawa was when he was at Dortmund makes you realize how fast football is. Don't want to get extensively into the debate, but if we still had Mata, I would have traded for Kagawa.
It's hilarious that people think Mata's light years ahead of Shinji and Silva...

disgraceful post.

You really don't need stats to prove that Drogba is still at this age technically superior to Lukaku. People have eyes.

as if he didn't fuck up the trust of the staff and fans at this club.
He can go to hell for all I care. He's full of shit and someone said that it would took us longer to say shit about him that he'd say about us.
And yeah, I'm not holding back at all.
Rom, I respect dearly my elders, but sweetie, he didn't waste one sec to badmouth us and the club... I guess you may have been wrong about him.

I'm not getting enough likes on this forum for my comments, I'm going to another forum

just wanted to say, i haven't been here long and every time i've seen you post it's been quality. i'm finding myself liking every single one of your posts, lol

He's so G...he almost H.

Looks like he's taking the training seriously. Maybe a bit too seriously, that looks like a nasty two-footed tackle....

I always read Jose' quotes in his voice lol

Costa will want to be top dog, he's the alpha male.. I can only cringe at the idea of Drogba trying to 'mentor' him. This is a time for NEW leaders, a new era.. not going back into the past to find Lukaku a cheerleader.
