Before the victory of Burnley I thought that maybe Jose would put tomorrow unusual players like Cuadrado, Oscar, Luis Filipe or Remy. But now I think Jose will put the team of big nights. If we win tomorrow against Southampton practically we would be champions with 10 matches ahead. If tomorrow we won the match against Southampton we will be able to use much more Cuadrado, Zouma, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathan Ake or Filipe Luis from now. Cuadrado needs a chance and RLC with minutes may be important to us. If we win tomorrow ... they will have their chance. Courtois Spiderman Zouma / Cahill John Terry © better Kurt.

Burnley 1 - Manchester City 0 Yeahhhhhhhh! Tomorrow is a day to give a blow on the table of Premier League practically definitive! The fifth is more close friends! Regards to ALL.

Hi friend! Thank you very much. Yes, sometimes I'm very passionate about Jose hahaha!. Jose is a great passion for me. A great pleasure keep talking with you. Thank You. Regards.

Hi Friend! I agree with you with RLC. For me now we have a golden opportunity with Ruben Loftus-Cheek. It's his time. This week Jose has commented that RLC could played a lot more to us if not because we have very demanding for the competitions were playing this season. But now that we have won the League Cup and - sadly - we are no longer in FA cup and Champions League. We have a very favorable situation in Premier League. I believe that, at least in matches at the Bridge, RLC should play in our starting eleven and to accumulate experience in our first team. Maybe a season RLC can be in a situation resembled to Zouma. To me Zouma has to be indisputable. He has already shown to have a very high level and he is prepared to be important to us in our eleven usually start. If we give Zouma minutes to RLC and maybe for next season we can have two new players for our undisputed starting eleven, and perhaps for the next decade. RLC and Zouma are a safe bet. Especially Zouma. Regards. Regards to ALL.

Hi friend! Yes. It is true that we try to score a goal and then we stand very defensively. That's a problem, a serious problem. I trust that will gradually changing this. But as I said in my previous comment, we are evolving and changing small things. For example, last year we had this chiefly problem we face small and unimportant matches teams. Last year we won almost all the major matches in Premier League but lost many points against small teams. Last year tearing his matches with a very low rate and we always would arrive late in the match with much anxiety. So we left many points against small teams last year. I think this year we have evolved and now against small teams try to close before the games. Jose has only used Mikel in November and December. Last year Mikel played every game when we were doing a goal. Although Mikel is now injured, when I was good this season Jose has not used him like he did last year. That's the evolution of which I speak. To build a great team we need patience. Obviously serious concern that in the third season of Jose here asking us we followed the big games like we did this year. But I trust that next year, after two seasons working together, the team can raise the big matches differently. I think we now have three games in the remainder of the season-against Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool-where we can take one more step. I hope that day Jose poses a party with a speed more, taking more responsibility in the domain of the pace of the match. It is a very interesting debate. I think we all, more or less, expect / want more control / initiative of us in matches, especially in big matches. But I think our evolution is still the next. 2013-2014. Conservative approaches in every matches when we were doing a goal, losing points with small teams. 0 trophies. 2014-2015. The same error but only against the big teams, resulting in winning the League Cup and Premier League-maybe. 2 trophies. 2015-2016. Maybe one more step assuming more risk against the big teams. Premier League is not as La Liga where you have to make 90/100 points to win the trophy. Without any anxiety to win trophies (only ambition / desire) we can raise matches at risk assuming that more or less 70/80 points are enough to win Premier League. We must find a balance between the need of conservative approaches and the need to take risks. I trust that the next season without anxiety about the lack of trophies, Jose will raised matches with more risks. Regards. Regards to ALL.

Hello everyone. I've been busy these days and so wanted to say what I think about our current situation. For me Jose is doing a good job with us. I think many times we did not measure well what Jose has done here. Not only it comes to titles, where Jose is the best coach in our history. Jose has changed many things. 1. Policy signings. I have read several messages from friends in this forum talking about the erroneous signings policy conducted by Jose with us in this second stage. I would remind the signings of Jose in the first stage: Cech, Drogba, Essien, Carvalho ... All those signings were the basis of our champion team in Champions 2012. Jose did a good job with the signings that allowed us to have a player base that belonged many years with us having a spectacular performance. In this second stage with Jose we have signed big players (In my opinion): Courtois, Zouma, Matic, Fabregas or Diego Costa. Watching these players we can believe that we are building a new backbone for next years as Jose made in its first stage with us. Then there are players who can raise doubts its management. I think they are mainly De Bruyne and Salah. But they did not have a solid level here in the few opportunities they had with us. De Bruyne was a very soft and Salah player did not demonstrate the level he is showing at Fiorentina. I think Salah can back this summer because he is having a great level with Fiorentina and, who knows, this loan can definitely take off his career with us. But if we sell this summer we will receive a lot of money. Maybe De Bruyne can return In a transfer, but I think it will be complicated. In addition to the spine before mendionaba, we are clocking good intermediate players (who also make the titles are won). Filipe Luis, Willian or Remy. Cuadrado is a incognita. I think Jose -normalmente- players need time to adapt to your playing style. I think we will see next season the best level of Cuadrado. Hardly this season. Obviously everything can be improved, but I think our transfer policy is having a pretty good level 2. The management / approaches of Jose in big matches. Chesea can afford to be without winning any trophy two seasons ?. Obviously NO. For us be two seasons without winning any trophy would have been a complete failure and had fired our anxiety to an unbearable level. When we arrived we had Jose won the Europa League, Champions we had entered in the last game and we had been eliminated in the Champions League in the group stage. Jose started from zero, having to rebuild and modernize our team, and I think that step is doing. But at a time like this we we can not take risks. Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester City may be at risk because they lose and is not a drama. Instead each our defeat seems the end of the world for us. And to be honest, we do not need to win (all matches) to Manchester City, United, Arsenal or Liverpool to win Premier League. We're going to win (hopefully) this Premier League having drawn with them. But if this year we won Premier League this anxiety about not winning trophies and will be forgotten. Once cut the anxiety everything will be different. It is a very similar situation to which Jose lived in Real Madrid. He faced the Barcelona Guardiola, and the distance between Barcelona and Real Madrid was huge. So at the beginning Jose wont matches against Barcelona very defensive / conservative, and gradually was getting dominate Barcelona putting on their level. Therefore Jose now makes conservative approaches. First retrieve the path of victories in the trophies. Then will come the risky approaches in big matches. I trust in Jose. 3. The elimination in Champions League. I have to be honest. For me the approach of Jose was not an embarrassment. I think PSG eliminated us by two corners. But in general terms I think we raised a very smart tie without taking unnecessary risks. Us were about 6 minutes of qualifying for the next round. Obviously we could play better, obviously we could attack but obviously we could better control the tie. YES. It is also clear that it would have been a suicide approach if we had forgotten that -for the double value of the goals outside- they could kill the tie at any time if we were doing a conservative approach to take the lowest number of risks. For me some comments about Jose are unjust. For example, John Terry is wrong on the goal of Thiago Silva when he defends Cahill by mistake instead of defending Thiago Silva. But neither I nor anyone going to say anything bad about John Terry. Obviously a mistake can not make us forget everything that has made John Terry this season for us. You may like more or less their approaches, but in general terms he's doing a great job with us. I can only have good words for Jose. 4. Should Jose continue to lead our project?. YES !. Without a doubt. I believe that in today's football is impossible to find a coach who identifies with so much passion with a team like Jose identifies with us. Jose does not just work for us, Jose feels BLUE. I do not think Pellegrino could do that here. Before Pep Guardiola can be our coach I prefer Ovrebo amounts to the same garbage. I do not think there is a better coach in the world to train us. I think one elimination in Champions can not do that we do not see everything you are building. Jose is trying to do in Chelsea the same revolution that Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United. But to make a new big project we need calm and go step by step. If we change coach that just mean that follow the same path Manchester City or Real Madrid. Each 2/3 years, a new coach and a new change of direction. So it would be impossible consolidate a project. Our future must be built around Jose. Sorry for this long text, but I think it is an important moment for us. Sorry if you upset someone. Together we are more stronger BLUES ALL TOGETHER Regards to ALL.

Hi! Totally agree with you. Maybe now Varane is not at its best moment, but when Jose was at Real Madrid he had a totally spectacular level. I think Varane is having a good performance this season. Not having the level when Jose was at Real Madrid, but its level is good despite having only 21 years. Varane Perhaps the problem is that he has been backup Ramos and Pepe, and Varana has just started playing when they have been injured. A moment that coincided with the worst level of Real Madrid this season. Real Madrid is a totally anarchic team. When results are bad, their offensive players defend absolutely nothing and the computer breaks. Being Centre-Back at Real Madrid is crazy with them have bad results. I think it's a problem of confidence in itself. When Jose was at Real Madrid he was the golden child. Jose's bid for Varane was very strong and Jose made him feel important. Varane was the greatest discovery of Jose at Real Madrid. Now it's different. Pepe (traitor) is the maximum opponent of the clash with Jose, and all pseudomadridistas defend the renewal of contract of Pepe because he defended Iker Casillas against Jose. The same thing happens with Sergio Ramos. He tries to get a new big contract with constant attacks on Jose. The renovation of both is in Madrid and the demonstration that the draft Jose Real Madrid is definitely forgotten and buried. If Jose had continued at Real Madrid Pepe and Ramos probably they have been sold. The renovation of both Madrid is seen as the demonstration that the draft of Jose at Real Madrid is definitely forgotten and buried. If Jose had continued at Real Madrid Pepe and Ramos probably they have been sold. In short, Varane means "The draft of Jose" Pepe and Ramos and mean "The project against Jose". So Varane are not having any type of support and he almost plays the few minutes that do not play Ramos and Pepe. When Jose gave Varane full confidence he responded with a spectacular performance. He even gave a level that few players would give 19 years of age. But Varane is young. If he comes to us he is going to have a coach who knows you well and will give all his trust. Varane (21) and Zouma (20) could be the best pair of Centre-Backs of the next decade. Right now we have a unique opportunity. If we do not take this opportunity probably at Euro 2016 will see how Real Madrid has the best Centre-Back in the world. The Real Madrid is accustomed to make many outlandish nonsense. They are able to sell Varane and stay with Ramos and Pepe. Real Madrid is only important the present. For them plan for the future is a nonsense. We are building a team to dominate football in the next decade. Courtois, Zouma, Hazard or Azpilicueta. Varane has to be the next piece of our puzzle. Regards. Regards to ALL.

Hi! Reading your messages (thank you all) I think this video defines the best features of Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Regarding Nathan Ake I also think that, perhaps, he has less future than RLC. Perhaps a loan would be the best option for Ake. And better if it is a loan to another Premier League team. Regards.

Hi! Yes, totally agree with you. Box to box is the position of RLC. Physical stronghold, great strides, good distribution of the ball and courage to easily reach the opponent's box. Yesterday in the thread Fabregas, I said that is more secure bet for RLC than Pogba. I think Pogba has some extravagant aspects of his personality, and RLC has a more established head with feet on the ground. Thanks for your comment. Regards.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is more like Matic or more like Ramires / offensive midfielder?. I'm not sure. To me Ruben Loftus-Cheek is more like Matic (relatively speaking) for his physical resemblance, for his quality and his movements in the pitch. But I think Ruben Loftus-Cheek has better ability to distribute the ball. Instead, I have read several comments from friends of this forum who say Ruben it's not like Matic and their characteristics are more similar to Ramires or offensive midfielder. What do you think about Ruben Loftus-Cheek? He is more like Matic? Or he is more like Ramires? With another player you would compare him? I think both Ruben and Nathan Ake must have their chance in our remaining matches to finish the season. Ake has now been a year and half training with Jose, and Loftus-Cheek is practically all season training with Jose. I think his time has come. We have a favorable situation in Premier League, and, perhaps, bet now in both can give us one or two great players for our future. You would bet on Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek this season? Which one should be our main bet: Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek ?. Maybe soon we may be talking about Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the same way we do now with Kurt Zouma. I hope your comments. Regards to ALL.

Hi! Varane has had serious physical problems with his knee. In 2013, Jose last season at Real Madrid, Varane is injured his knee in the penultimate game of the season. At first doctors thought that Real Madrid was a very small lesion. But his injury is longer and Varane was not recovered. Finally the doctors of his former team (Lens) found that Varane had affected his meniscus. So Varane was injured almost all of last season. At the beginning of the season Varane practically no juice at all. A season finale Varane recovered and was playing slowly (even he was in the starting eleven of Real Madrid in the Champions League Final). But his problem was that he could not play two matches a week without pain in his knee again. In principle Varane is recovered now and he no longer has pain in his knee. But this week reports have commented on Spain that Varane back have pain in his knee, but it seems it's just a rumor. Right now in Spain the press attacks Varane to defend Pepe, who is about to renew his contract with Real Madrid, which would suppose that Varane would force his departure (probably with us). I think Varane is playing well this season, with no sign showing that he is injured again. I think those comments about a new injury are just gossip. In principle Varane is fully recovered from his injury. His signing can be a hit at the table. Zouma - Varane would be a partner for the next decade. Regards.

Hi! Thanks for your comment. The rescission clause of his contract Koke are £ 42.82 million (€ 60 million). I think that hardly we could reduce his final price more than 10 million. Last year we signed Diego Costa for £ 27.11 million (€ 38 million) from Atletico Madrid. That amount was the rescission clause of Diego. They usually are offended if any team try to sign a player of his team (Atletico de Madrid has a lot of extravagance). Another feature that I had not commented before about Koke is that he is understood to perfection with Diego Costa. Koke and Diego are understood without needing eye contact. When they were together in Atletico de Madrid did not stop to give them passes between them. To Diego Costa if we signed Koke this summer would be a blessing. I think that, taking into account his age (23 years old), their quality, their mind without the luxuries of the money and his ability to work sacrificing for the team that amount of money -more or less £ 27.11 million (€ 38 million) - would be a good operation. With this signing would get a perfect replacement for Fabregas now and for the future. Regards.

Hi Friend! Yes, I share your opinion. It would be perfect If we would sell to Oscar or Ramires to get a good amount of money to sign next summer a specific player in midfield. But the player has to be a TOP player. No one player with nomal level / low level. Like you, I also think Koke would be the perfect choice. He just improved his contract with Atletico de Madrid but reports in Spain Atletico Madrid insist that you are going to sell him this summer to sign the big signings Simeone required to continue training in the Atletico de Madrid. Almost taken for sure Koke leave Atletico Madrid next summer by choice and by the will of Atletico Madrid. Koke would be perfect to complement Fabregas. He can play as a central midfielder with Matic or as Attacking Midfielder with Fabregas - Matic in midfield. In addition, Koke knows how to move in the pitch with intelligence, rotating his position constantly. A dynamism which would allow us to recover the dynamic game earlier this season. Another capability of Koke is that he knows also play on the sides. I think that's the main problem with Oscar, because he knows not play without disturbing Fabregas, not able to move sideways and he stuck our attack in the middle. Therefore, Koke can play or he can play Fabregas replacing Fabregas which can help Fabregas with their problems in the second part of the season, making him the less tired. Koke also is a player with a very well-educated head. He is a young and humble without big ambitions (the main the problem of Pogba) guy. In Spain people would compare him with Xavi Hernandez, but I think Koke also works hard for the team. The following season with Koke. Koke as a means Matic center. Koke Matic Willian Fabregas Hazard Diego Costa Koke as Attacking Midfielder. Fabregas Matic Willian Koke Hazard Diego Costa Without Fabregas (Resting physically to arrive with energy end of the season) but with Koke. Loftus-Cheek - Ake Matic Willian Koke Hazard Diego Costa Regarding Pogba, his price is a joke. I think paying that kind of money would be madness. Pogba has an immature mind. He has many faults like Balotelli. Of course Pogba is a great player, but he is a player with a remote slope of soccer and more photographs than mentality of the football, Freshness (Mino Raiola) which only causes problems (if Pogba comes to us every year he will ask raise shouting it from the newspapers of half the world). It is a very risky operation to pay 80 million pounds for him, for a player who raises many unknowns about their future. I think Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek should play in all 11 games we have left to play this season. To my Ruben Loftus-Cheek has some features like Pogba, but Ruben has a well-educated head which gives me more guarantees than Pogba. Maybe if we use Ruben Loftus-Cheek from now he may be our surprise for next season. This season with Ruben Loftus-Cheek o Nathan Ake. Loftus-Cheek - Ake Matic Willian Fabregas Hazard Diego Costa Thus we would break our current trend where the ball runs very slow. Regards.

In the eleven matches we have left to finish the season Zouma has to be be in our starting eleven in these eleven matches. We have a small margin of error on our rating in Premier League and now is the time to bet on the future and Zouma is our future. Zouma has to be indisputable from now.

I think the problem is not Fabregas, the problem is that Fabregas is alone in the creation of football and is the only engine that we have for distribution of the ball. Oscar does not have the level to play with us. His transfer would be the best option for us. But Fabregas is nonnegotiable. But the problem is we can not let Fabregas alone in midfield as if Fabregas could do everything. Willian or Ramires are players more to work than to create. Matic is perfect but he has other functions. Diego Costa, Hazard or Square are individualistic players. So we have to give support to Fabregas with another player in midfield who can help him. In my opinion you maybe Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek. We will win the Premier League almost sure. So I think it's time to bet heavily on them. Ake or Loftus-Cheek are prepared and now we do not have a huge responsibility to compete in the Champions League. Nathan Ake or Ruben Loftus-Cheek may be the perfect solution to help Fabregas in midfield and speed up the movement of the ball. For next year maybe we have to signing Pogba or Koke (I prefer Koke), but now we have to think about what we have at home. Fabregas is not a problem, Fabregas is the solution. Regards to ALL.

Hi friend! Thanks for your answer. It's true what you say. If, when the big games come Jose always used a conservative strategy. For some more conservative, for others less conservative. But always conservative or, as I prefer to say, a pragmatic approach. I think Jose is trying to make a future project with us. Maybe I like what did Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. But that is not done in two days, we need time. When Jose returned with us, we we had won the UEFA League, being eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League and classifying them for the Champions League miracle. Now everything is different. We fight for the Premier League with head high, at the top of the leaderboard. Last year fight for Premier League until the end. In addition, we now try to compete in all the cups, we have won the League Cup and in a moment of madness, we fell eliminated in Fa Cup. Step by step we get to the other teams respect us as we deserve. Right now in England we have the hegemony of English football. I know that Mourinho can play "better". In fact, Jose has played better with us and other teams. I remember when Jose arrived at Real Madrid, I used to use a ultra defensive strategies. In his first year at Real Madrid, Jose stand against Barcelona Guardiola's a large bus in the box. But that had a meaning: Real Madrid was light years ahead of that Barcelona. The distance between the teams was huge enough to try to compete with Barcelona face to face. Instead, Jose was slowly changing its approach and succeeded, in his third season, face Barcelona face to face and outplay them. The reason was that anxiety to win titles of Real Madrid was diluted, disappeared. They won the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Liga and, last season, despite problems with certain players from Real Madrid, Jose managed to win at Barcelona. What I mean is that we now need to accumulate trophies, either way, to get to have a big name in Europe. That name (the respect of the other top teams) can only be achieved by winning as many trophies possible. Perhaps the League Cup trophy is a small but great teams across Europe have seen John Terry lifting another trophy. Real Madrid often wins with its history, we have to produce that story and we are that way. For Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool is easier to pose a more aesthetic football if they lose anyone would feel cheated. Instead, a defeat for us is like a shot in the head. We are a big club and our requirements are larger. So I think Jose is now at a stage of trying to earn trophies for Chelsea to get the respect (and fear) of our rivals. Then, step by step, we can raise more offensive or aesthetic approaches because our opponents will fear us. But to achieve that we need to eliminate anxiety about the absence of titles. If this year we we had not won anything this anxiety would be stifling. But if we win this year's League Cup and (hopefully) Premier League next season we will be able to play more relaxed without any feelings of despair. Yesterday, regardless of how fortunate or unfortunate approach Jose, we were a few minutes of qualifying for the next round. In addition, yesterday we been removed by a team with great players, PSG is not a mediocre team. In short, if we are trying to build a great team, a new team for many years, and we can not be in a hurry, we have to be patient and slowly try making progress. First. Earn trophies and recover the hegemony of English football. Second. Go incorporating new great young players in our starting eleven. Courtois first, second and Kurt Zouma (maybe / hopefully) Ruben Loftus-Cheek next year. Third. Changing approaches to create more aggressive, vertical, and finalente parties raise more offensive games and get suffocate our rivals to win overwhelmingly. This is a slow process, but step by step we can become the leading English team and one of the best teams in Europe. Maybe in ten years we have a similar name as Liverpool or Manchester United. But that can only be achieved step by step. If we give abrupt changes of direction every two years we will probably go banging on our faces every few years. I think we have to give our trust to Jose and allow him work in peace. Jose is not here for money. If it were only for money, Jose would be at Real Madrid, PSG and Anzhi Makhachkala. Jose wants this team and he wants to get the best for us. If we change course now we probably just will place more close to failure than from success. Today, as yesterday, it is a sad day, but we are building something big. We have to be together. BLUES ALL TOGETHER. Regards. Regards to ALL.

I did not change Fabregas even for all the gold in the world.

If Jose is the culprit only today... Jose will be solely responsible when we win Premier League in May?. NO, Here we win and we lose ALL TOGETHER. I do not know, but when a bad result comes, Jose is a bastard. However, when we have a good result many people say that Jose has won little trophies which are not important. We are a team. Jose may go in the future, but he is important in our history. Roman may go in the future, but he is important in our history part. John Terry may go in the future, but he is important in our history. This may not be "Mourinho is good and Chelsea is shit". Or "Mourinho is a shit, and Chelsea is good". NO, we are all together in the same boat. If we do not paddled together, we are going to sink. When we win in May our fifth Premier League, I'll be here celebrating. But if we lose this Premier League in May, I'll be here paddling with more force than ever. And I know I'm not alone in this. Goodnight to ALL. Regards.

I must be some clown... but it makes me happy.

Hi! As I said before, I respect the opinions of all of us. A world with the same opinions would be terribly sad. To me I liked the approach of Jose. But the double value of the goals was decisive. If we had attacked without care for our defense, they would have killed us before. We have lost through two headed goals. Two corners. Two goals unstoppable. We have been close to passing the tie, and if I supported Jose for his way of understanding football before the match, now more than ever I insist that I defend in as Jose makes the approaches of the matches. But I understand what you say when perfectly. They are just different views. For me Jose has been good, but for you he has not been good. Perfect. But we're in the same boat and we must continue paddling together. Regards.

A sad day, very sad. But it's time to raise your head and think about winning the Premier League. When you're hot is impossible to think calmly. Today is a day to go to bed sad, but tomorrow is the time to think about the future and we can not let this Premier League. Now is when I most support Chelsea. When the sad moments come is when you understand how much you want your team. Regards to ALL, friends.

Hi! Fernando, I understand your anger, I am also sad, but I have made the same comment in the thread Chelsea v PSG and I said: "Whatever happens ... Chelsea!". I put it at the same time I put "I trust in Jose" in this thread. We may have different views, but I respect you aways. And I expect the same from you. I am a fan of Chelsea. Without any doubt. Jose is part of this team. Regards.

Both in good times and sad times ... I trust in Jose Today, with an awfully sad result, I reaffirm my support for Jose. I do not support Jose only for results. I do not care about the result, I care the way. The way done with dignity. And with Jose we always have dignity. The approach has been smart, very humble, assuming it is impossible to win 3-0 in Champions League. For many people has been a fucking approach, but the strategy is also a spectacle. If we fight, we may lose; If we do not fight, we're lost. I trust in Jose

I trust in Jose

Whatever happens... Chelsea!
