As opposed to being beaten off the ball by relegation contenders. As another poster said, I can't see into the future. Sorry but if Ivanovic was in the lineup we would still have kept a clean sheet, their firstshot on target was in the 75th minute.

Erm no it's not if you remember the Maccabi game he got beaten by the equivalent of League 1 opposition in his channel frequently - mourinho said he is adapting and he is but I now see why he has been holding him back. And stop calling me names, I'd bite back but that's against forum rules.

He got skinned 4 times in the first half - if they were better opposition they might have better used the resulting opportunities I'm glad he's playing because he has youth on his side but to say that he has solved our defensive trouble is ludicrous

Yeah because the definition of rational is being so blinded by your hate of Jose that you can see that he had a shit first half Pull your head out your arse and get some fresh air

Are you fucking kidding me he had a shit first half defending, but doesn't get skinned for it, if Ivanovic had had the performance of Baba today you would have said he was shit and asked for Mou's head again I'd choose Baba because when JT has pace around him he still looks class.

Was he shit in the first half at the time of posting? Oh yes he was so stop giving me all that

Not in midfield he wasn't hopefully we will br able to create something similar with Matic/ramires-RLC

Aina would do a better job right now. Looks like he's drowning.

This is the type of game we brought Fabregas for - we had problems breaking down small teams with Matic-Luiz. Sadly we should have retained Luiz for midfield work.

That's why Fabregas is on the pitch

Could he be worse than Ivanovic? Yes he can Aina is a better defender

No matter what he does nobody will be happy - this is the type of game we brought Fabregas to play in. Bus breaking passes.

How do you know? Will you ever be happy with what Jose does?

We don't and didn't have time to wait - unless we wanted to go through last season, when he scored bearly nothing in the league which would have cost us the prem snd probably the cup too and you'd probably be moaning at Jose for that too And Lukaku is not as good as Costa. You're just believing your own bullshit.

Our best CB???? He was a shit cb, he was a good midfielder, though Not a good captain, he was too irresponsible Just because we're shit at the moment does not mean we should regret a good decision.

Lololololololololololololololololololol You say the most ridiculous of things to get one over Jose - we get it, you want him out I much prefer Costa

So everybody thinks we'll be ok apart from some members on a forum Hmm

Jose if you play Iva against Villa and don't win you deserve all you get...

Play Zouma at LB if we need 3 tall players at the back...

Eugh. Mikel-RLC would genuinely be higher quality

Yeah I suppose so... he would do the job far better than Falcao though.

Bring Solanke back and fuck this guy off.

When RLC and Ramires have played (and I'm not a Ramires fan, as didierforever will confirm) we have played much better. We haven't had the opportunity to see the team against proper opposition without Ivanovic, so therefore I won't comment on it. I also think Ramires is staying here - so Jose will train with him and he will likely play. But Matic is the start of the turning over. Subbing the sub was very harsh but Mourinho was right - he has been looking worse than Mikel lately, misplacing passes, getting bundled off the ball by players he steamrolled this time last season, and just looking rather stranded out there - and considering he made our midfield tick along with Oscar in the first half of 14/15 I'm imagining that Jose reckons that he's the first player who needs to restart, and asap. I'd imagine that unless the players play brilliantly for their NT, quite a few players will be getting dropped. I won't be risky enough to say that Iva will be dropped, but I'd imagine that with Cahill away with England our starting CBs will be JT and Zouma, who will remain at Cobham I believe. Maybe if Iva is awful with Serbia he will finally be dropped. Also we have missed Diego so much these last matches. FA punished us big style with this one - Falcao is a gimp and Remy looks toothless, more like a winger than a striker... Against Villa I might well bet he gets a hat trick, he will step up and is one of the leaders in the dressing room imo. Willian has stepped up. Fantastic so far this season. Kenedy should get a start, Hazard has run out of free passes imo. I expect (NT form depending) Begovic Azpi Zouma Terry Baba RLC Rami Kenedy Oscar Willian COSTA In my mind Jose has the next 2 games to turn things around (I'm going to both Villa and West Ham) and if he plays the same team then he can, quite frankly, fuck off.

The shift back towards no defined holding midfielder should benefit England a lot, RLC-Wilshere is more feasible than it would have been 5 years ago. Euro 2020 looks bright. Butland Clyne Stones Smalling Shaw Ox RLC Wilshere Sterling Solanke Kane
