We got battered by Spurs last year, maybe that was the turning point for the tactics last season, if i remember correctly. Overall the play of style wasn't pretty but even the second leg against PSG, we almost made progress, lost it because of defending. Is it the right way?! I prefer a different style, way too reactive, "whoever has the ball is going to make a mistake", having around ~30% of the ball is debatable. We have experienced a bad start to the campaign, the next game we kick-start the season, that's a vicious circle, absolutely deadly. Difficult task, but better times will come.

I have just seen the goal, magical stuff. He is like an ex, we parted ways and with the new partner all things work out. It's one of the most difficult things in life, but we have to or at least should accept his departure and life will continue. Kevin de Bruyne seems to be a good catalyzer, where is the Robben moaning thread?! I'm happy for Kevin, he deserves to be happy and have a successful career and life. I had my problems with Fernando Torres, but i wish all the EX players only the best. Cheers.

That's your right and not a bad thing, otherwise we all would be "yes-man". Yes, i have made assumptions, perhaps they are wrong, turning on the discussion isn't a bad thing. Maybe Guardiola changes with his approach, who knows, but against Arsenal Bayern Munich made over 600 passes, Arsenal around 200? For such amounts, you need technical ability and with all due respect, can't see Zouma, Matic and maybe Azpilicueta doing it. Yes, players can improve, but technically? I doubt it, sorry. Guardiola benched Martinez, for him he isn't a midfielder anymore, now he has to play as a central back. Yaya Toure had problems too, not everyone can adapt to that task. I don't watch that much national competitions, but during the world cup 2014 Azpilicueta looked in my point of view really poor. Not as bad as Lukaku for Belgian, but he wasn't up for participating in that style of play, he is better without the ball. Klinsmann famously said that every day he will make most of his players better, that backfired pretty bad. Making the players consistently better is difficult, i'm just cautious with such demands... Mourinho is also trying to make his players better, last season he accomplished it, but now, he has got big problems. In the long run he will get back, another assumptions by me, sorry.^^ I hope that you are right, but you have to come up with good counter arguments, otherwise we have to wait and see.

Yes, i'm in the Mourinho corner or as you said i'm one of his worshippers, lol. Is it that bad, is it a crime?! Blue_Fox already said it perfectly, i don't want Zouma and so on gone! Now i give it a try, what would you change? Buy a lot of new players, a new manager and during the season a restart has to happen? For me that's not necessary, not today.

Excuse me, but this expert named Hamann knows absolutely nothing! Last year Guardiola was on his way to City, almost done, Bayern without a Chance against Porto in the second leg and the list could continue. I can do it all day, lol. I normally respect former professional players and their opinions, but this dude, i'm done!

It's only fair to make demands, when you are in the driver's seat....who decides who comes and goes?! I don't think Jose Mourinho has the final say. After the transfer of Papy Mourinho stated that he didn't know the player, it seems to me that Baba wasn't his idea too, i think that says it all. That was one of the reasons why he parted ways with Chelsea 2007 (ask Robben, he didn't want him to get sold) and is one of the reasons why Guardiola is most likely to leave Bayern at the end of the season (i'm just the coach, can't make transfers and the club knows how i will decide) ... Do you think Mourinho enjoys this kind of shit that's going down here?! Is he really so convinced of himself, that an academic and proven winner let his judgement clouds by emotions? Is he asking himself every day in front of the mirror; how can i be the villain again?! Surely most of the stuff he tells the media is utter garbage and he knows it too, a man who is able to say things like (envy is the biggest tribute shadows can do to a man) in a foreign language for him isn't plain stupid! Maybe it's time for a little trip... I often eat an fried egg with spinach and vegetables, for getting that done i don't need new fancy ingredients, i don't have to run to the supermarket therefore i save time and most importantly i don't need a new playbook, sorry i mean cookbook. Simply, the effort keeps within limits but the result is the same; 3 points, sorry i mean fat belly. Theoretical assumption: i don't have a job and my girlfriend demands a spectacular meal because their family is going to be in town, but she only gives me little pocket money, but i have to be a good boy and make the most of it, otherwise a cruel punishment is coming... Should i stick by the stuff which i know or should i go guns blazing and risk it all? Keeping in mind, that some of the ingredients can't keep up with the taste of the unaffordable ones if a take choice number 2. Everyone is entitled to have a different opinion about that, for example my father would stick to the first, because he doesn't like to take risks which look like a suicide mission. My mother seeks the risk, boring is not enough, even if the job would be done and now everything is in shambles because of number 2, lol. The prices for some ingredients happen for a reason, without some basic quality, only a magician could make it work. Who is in possession of a magic ward?! I don't have a problem with Guardiola but instead of making Hojbjerg, Kimmich, Gaudinio great, he often chooses to use Alonso and so on. Who did he harvested in about ~3 years?! I don't see any new ingredients from their home garden... Klopp is one of the best coaches in business, but apart from flashes (using championship players like Kirch against Real Madrid, no disrespect meant) without class he can't do it consistently. Long story short: Give Mourinho guys like Alaba, Stones, Varane (the list goes on) and the form will begin to take shape, otherwise there will be times where it won't be pretty. I can only speak for myself, but i like the differences in the style of play and the definition "proper football" is not catholic.^^ It's a specialty from Wenger to justify his constant failure by stating he is still playing proper attacking football for most of the time, but not during the decisive moments. No harm meant.

Replacing Mourinho with his arch rival Guardiola would heat things up. If i remember correctly, Mourinho said in the past that he would like to stay in England and maybe London. So its crystal clear what will happen. Yes, Guardiola knows how to orchestrate a football team but for me he is not better that the portuguese. Furthermore Guardiola will change the team: Terry, Cahill, Zouma (bad passing), Azpilicueta (not good enough with going forward) Matic (one dimensional left footy) Ramires, Mikel, RLC (not good enough with the ball), Fabregas (Guardiola does not rate him anymore), maybe Willian too because of slowing the play down, the list goes on, would have to go. I don't want that to happen! Yes, guys like Musonda would get playing time, there would be good things too, but for me not enough. His 3-5-2 failed miserablely, Van Gaal tested it enough. If a new guy has to come, i prefer some young and visionary dude, someone like Tuchel from BVB. But i stay with Jose, he loves the club more than some of his predecessors, you can't buy that!

KdB left Chelsea two years ago, at that time he wanted to play more and prove himself. Back in the day Chelsea had the likes of Hazard, Willian, Schuerrle, Mata, Oscar and Kevin de Bruyne. Mourinho gave KdB playing time, he earned motm. But he wasn't mentally ready for participating in the competition with the other expensive and good players. He could not accept sitting on the bench for some games, but the clubs best player Juan Mata should be awarded playing time too, similiar to the 40 mio. investment Willian, who is playing worldclass for quite some time. This year City has bought a different player, his progress is clear as daylight. After two years, youngsters change, that's life. Furthermore the sheikh payed around 80 million Euros, more expensive than Aguero or Merlin! Such a player gets a different kind of recognition, thats Perez philosophy! Yes, Mourinho made a mistake by letting him go, but it's not that easy to always make the right judgement call! Yes, he is earning millions, but life isn't that simple! Kenedy and Loftus-Cheek are rewarded more and more playing time. I don't agree that youngers don't get chances under the Portuguese. I don't agree with Pacquiao on all points. I think KdB cuts it at City and is already making a difference. Otherwise i think he has got a point.

So much worries about Joses future job possibilities. They won't take him, he plays boring Football and wins you trophies, but he is the devil! Nooooooooooooo You don't like him but he already is in your heads, big time, haha Everyone has his own opinion. I don't think that Jose would have Problems by finding a new Club. United, City, Spurs, PSG, even Perez would take him in a heartbeat. The national Job is an option too, seeing Ronald again, that would be fun. But not going to happen soon, because he is one of us and not running away... fucking love you Jose, great guy and good for the Club in the longterm!

I get where some of you are coming from, but i am not that rutheless with Eden Hazard. Is he as good or even better than last season? I don't think so! But what do i value most? Always having success, commanding almost always top notch performances and calling for some heads, or giving time, maybe allowing some average games, having consistency and my shirt isn't quickly out of date? Personelly i stick to the second choice. I value having Eden Hazard around more than money. I don't want the donkey Bale instead; selfish, spuds legend and without a proper haircut, disgusting!

I really hope that Ivanovic will score, he needs it, especially in here.

Cesc played well against Tel Aviv, he will start in this one! Hazard, don't know, he is clearly under performing, but who is better? Mourinho: That were his "strong words", but we are not that far yet, everything is possible. Maybe later we will see something like that, lol. ...................Traoré.............. Musonda.....Palmer......Kenedy .........Colkett......Loftus-Cheek Baba....Zouma...Salter...Aina .................Begovic.............

Fairplay to you, good points have been made. Yes, my conclusion about Zoumas fundamental position were out of line. You did a good job by bringing me down to earth... For me the bidding for John Stones was an absolute disgrace, every couple of days going a few millions up until the end, where a transfer was next to impossible. Ask for the price and then get it done or leave it there, but the board fucked that one up. Yes, having Pogba as Plan A-Z is one hell of a risky business. In the past Mourinho stated, that not every transfer window a player like Diego Costa comes available and maybe you have to sit one out instead of buying someone else. There are two sides of the coin, i am with Mourinho on this one. Ferguson is not for nothing an absolute legend, he always set priorities about the team and not himself, Mourinho follows a different path. This Scottish dude could easily adapt to any challenge, it isn't even funny. With all due respect to Jose Mourinho, for me Ferguson is the best manager i have seen, he made it time and time again. Yes, Cesc isn't playing up to his performance capability, but does this mean, that he has to be dropped? You stated Mr.No-Balls, i would rather call him Mr.Dispossessed, that's clearly not a compliment! Furthermore his physis has been very poor for a long time. He needs Pirlo-esque Babysitters, lol. You value different things on the field than me, i remember the double pivot with Ramires and Mikel, i'm still not fully convinced by Loftus-Cheek ability to play good long balls in the Premier-League. By the way nice lecture about the difference between through balls and "quarter back-ish passes" and their difficulties, sloppy by me, good job by you. Mourinho doesn't seem to be a friend of flat hierarchies, both of Terry and Ivanovic immediately getting the axe, difficult. I question the competitors for Ivanovic place, maybe in the upcoming weeks Baba will take his place permanently, we'll see. We go round in circles about the same things, without Terry and Ivanovic who would be your ideal captain? That's a big call to make. Jose Mourinho follows a path, where the risks are high, pressure is getting to him, i agree with you. Only time will tell who has had the right feeling. I'm in Joses corner, i called for some heads in the past, but in this case keep them coming, my trust is unbroken. I'am making a living as a scientist, so different field, there is still this quote left, pure gold!

Baba?"Fit with top condition, no.” I think Mourinho said something like that before the clash against Tel Aviv. Yes, last year Baba played a lot of matches, but that doesn't apply for today, means little, sorry. Maybe he isn't completely in shape physically as well as tactically to play for Chelsea. I don't make that call. Against Crystal Palace, if a remember correctly, Zouma went on the outside to deal with the quick wingers alone, got raped more than once. The key word for solving this problem is double coverage, but it's a foreign word at the club, that goes back to the portuguese... Perhaps Azpilicueta playing as a left back means that Hazard should pull a Ronaldo. Defensive work as little as possible so that he can concentrate on playing with the ball instead of against it. Azpilicueta is one of the best 1 on 1 defenders in the game, it rarely happens that an attacker gets the better of him... In the modern game attacking fullbacks are an important part of the game; i don't agree with Mourinho on this one, as you already stated, the handicap is huge and the support too little. I think Baba will be playing more and more, it's a slow transition! Keep calm and trust Mourinho, or fire him, he won't change his mind for anyone except his family. You are right, Baba has been a lot more expensive than Luis, but as everyone know, every sterling counts, especially with the upcoming renovation of the stadium. Furthermore Luis wanted to leave, he was fed up with being on the bench, the board granted him his wish. Once more the situation could have been handled differently, but Jose... Who has got the real power over the transfer dealings? Mourinho didn't want to let go off Cech without getting a good player in return, the board disagreed and look at what happened. He stated that he gave his list to the board in may, he described one of the players in the market as the Eiffel-Tower, again, take a look at the outcome. For me it's clear who has got the power. Cesc Fabregas is a huge brand, everyone in the game know him, big player. There are players like: Wayne Rooney (Van Gaal would never drop him), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Guardiola couldn't drop him), some time ago Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard for the last years, Xabi Alonso for Spain and the list goes on who are in the short run undroppable. A lot more than a few bad games has to happen before you drop one of those players for good. More importantly you need to have an adequate replacement in place. Taking into account Fabregas latest game, overall his performance wasn't great, but the boy has got accuracy and with one pass he is able to set up a team mate with a goal scoring opportunity. He is the only one in the team who can do that with one these passes. For Mourinho Ivanovic participates in that league, if you like it or not, but after John Terry, the scythe-man is coming for Ivanovic, very soon his time will be up. This season Mourinho has been changing his approach since day one. If you stop sitting that deep, a 34 year old defender will get problems by dealing with the likes of Aguero, Walcott and so on. They will get behind him and run riot! Before the season started, he clearly wanted Stones for big money, that speakes for itself i think. Every decision Mourinho is making it's always going to be a double-edged one! During pre-season we teamed up and went to war in the Oscar thread, we weren't happy with his performances so far and we took no prisoners. But the pretty boy fucked back, against Swansea he grabbed the game by the balls and took the war to them and us, fairplay. After that, he pulled an Oscar classic and disappeared, injury and treatment time from Ms.Carneiro, but his return was ardently desired and finally... Matic is untouchable, we already spoke about Fabrepass and his magic through balls at least one is still happening, and there is still our tough-tackling, ruthless ball-winning machine who improves Fabregas a lot. Who gets the opportunity to sit on the bench, Ramires and Mikel played their hearts out too in recent times, especially Ramires did it big time against the Magpies... Loftus-Cheek will be rewarded with more and more playing time, now he is too big to fail, but it's impossible to make all people happy, that's what football is about, almost always moaning about decisions and living in the "what could have been land".... Either you love Mourinho or you loathe him, he makes it easy for you, that quote, over the fucking moon.

Maybe this time you will get angry, i have seen you go on rampage my friend. According to Mourinho Baba had fitness problems in the past, but he is adapting to the task, i am totally sure that a 21 year old defender will get more playing time very soon! I refer to Zouma, he is a bright example in that aspect! I like Zouma he is maturing quickly, but man, have you seen his passing?! Furthermore he also got owned on the wing, was it against Crystal Palace? Not sure, sorry. It's arguably up for discussion who would be the better fit, at least that's my point of view. Sadly we have changed our approach, nowadays the club really likes to sell players, especially when a new expensive guy is coming. That strategy improves the line-up, but depth gets fucked so bad... From my understanding Mourinho didn't want to sell most of the players who have left the club, but now it's all about balancing the books, otherwise the attitude in the market would have been different. Jose already said that he is just the manager, he makes his recommendations but it's up to the board to get shit done! Jose is an arrogant prick who doesn't take shit from anyone, the phrase: "Jose knows best" does exist not for nothing. Everton fucked us, they scored and we hadn't an answer for the scum that day, what did Mourinho do? Instead of bringing on Willian who had played badly before, he chose to bring on Kenedy. He grabbed his balls and rewarded putting up a good show in training. He trusted John Terry until this season, he wanted to buy John Stones, but the board failed him, nevertheless his home is now on the bench. That's rutheless! Loftus-Cheek gets more and more playing time, what about Traore? He chose him instead of Cuadrado who is doing more than okay in Italy now, really interesting. Your enumeration about Ainas strengths goes down like clockwork, fairplay to you, but have you seen Aina play in the Premier-League? I don't! Can the kid deliver under huge pressure? Surely they will target him all the time! The same can be said about this Salter guy, i remain sceptical. But i am having a hunch that you have seen both of them play a lot, so i respect your opinion, but sorry mate, i am still unconvinced because of the lack of first league football. Jose Mourinho made a huge mistake by not using one of them during preseason, that should have been some test! Generelly Jose should have experimented a lot more, but we don't have a time machine, he has to learn from his mistakes, only the future will tell! We don't need to talk about most of the passes from Ivanovic, far too much have been utterly woeful, some day they will be costly! A lot of his crossings are imprecise, nonetheless Remy could have buried that ball against Newcastle United. His harmonious interaction between his offensive and defensive play has been out of balance for quite some time, but it's not that bad anymore, still not good, that's true! Yes, some of his positioning have been bad too, lol. Still, after John Terry is on the bench and Baba not ready yet, maybe soon, but at present i can understand why Jose plays Ivanovic. I think that the team is really missing leadership, yes, the Serbian dude got fucked a lot, but he has personality which you can't buy and although he is making mistakes, he is respected and the necessary authority on the field. The way you speak you have seen a lot more than me, so i give you credit where credit is due.

We have a disagreement, that may not be exactly nice, but that happens in life. After the 7th matchday being the number 15th in the table isn't nice, neither is losing to some mid-table teams, but there will come enough opportunities to balance the score, 5 points to Arsenal or 8 points to United means little. The history speaks for themselves, United doesn't have a Ferguson who doesn't bottle it nor "El Ingeniero" is a master tactician. Last year City occasionally came back, the difference isn't the end of the world yet. We'll see, but they can't hold onto their current position until may. The season will end in may, 93 points are there for the taking, you win some, you lose some, judge at the end of the season or when we are bottom of the league in december, but that's clearly not happening. I see that Jurgen Klopp has a high appreciation, last year he finished the first spell of the season as the number 17th, the club showed faith and look at what happened, hire and fire isn't that good for a project longterm. I had my complains about some perfomances during the second spell of the season 2014/2015, but the boys got the job done and overall they were crowded as one of the most dominant teams in english history, no team could cope with us, big bulldozer! Wenger, Pellegrini, Van Gaal and all the other managers and fans would have jerked off to that dream come true, only here some guys are too greedy. As Mourinho said, every team gives more against the current champion, all of them would like to teach us a lesson. How many teams/coaches have defended the championship apart from Sir Manchester United/Alex Ferguson in recent history? All of our opponents took the game by the balls, especially Swansea, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United once again suprised me. They gave everything and earned their money! They run riot against us, gave their everything and we went 2 down. They didn't play like their position could suggest, they participate in the league and have quality. The first half was shambolic, but we are the current champions and came back, after Fabregas magical pass (finally....) Pedro should have scored from that and the mission three points would have been accomplished! Sadly, he missed, now we are having this disussion, that's life, that's football, people have to deal with it. Do you really think that i am happy? No, there were lots of problems, but what do you want to hear? That i criticise individual players and call for a big shift, Mourinho gave some players chances, but it wasn't that great, now call for a beheading and cry like a bitch, when the big russian guy isn't that quick?! No, i don't do that, the team has to analyze their mistakes and next time, we will be better. The calm people always win the freaggin' war, stay calm and let the professionals do their jobs. There must be a new form of amnesia out there; we know what we are, current champions of england, let that sink in! Mourinho is no Harry Potter and able to pull out his ward so we suddenly fuck them up, improvement goes match by match. Therefore we need faith, but after 7th matches, it's all gone, what can i do, what can i say to that?! Don't know and slowly don't care! Kenedy, Traore, Loftus-Cheek, Zouma, Remy, Falcao, Willian, Mikel, Ramires, Baba and so on, all of them were rewarded playing time! Nowadays i read how good this Ramires dude is and maybe a double pivot with Mikel or Loftus-Cheek should be the solution. After one bad game, would i instantly change my formations? Sadly i am stupid enough to change quickly while playing fantasy football league, i have to learn from my mistakes! Luckily Mourinho isn't that stupid. Maybe now, when Baba is fully fit, he can play more, Loftus-Cheek is also an option, but that's it. In the past i have read that Mr. Ancelotti would be a perfect fit, (that's not necessarily for you Muzchap...) Really?! That dude didn't allow Raphael Varane much playing time, other prospects were non existent and only there for backups, that should speak volumes, i leave you guys there... I would have kept Filipe Luis and gave him more playing time, but Mourinho didn't trust him enough. Baba wasn't match fit to start for Chelsea, he was new to the country, Mourinho is not a magician, someone had to play and Ivanovic is still better than all of us. If someone thinks otherwise, feel free to submit an application, i wish you luck, you gonna need it! Calling for Ivanovics head is popular, you will earn a lot of likes, but you have to think rationally, we don't have a better alternative! Mourinho has defended Chelsea more than any manager in the recent years, the phrase "one of us" doesn't come from nothing. Did i like his recent fight with Mr. and Mrs. Benitez? No, he stepped over the line, but that happens in the heat of the moment! The disaster with Ms. Carneiro could have been avoided, but both are adults and acted way out of line. I wish her all the best, some guys on bluemoon would welcome her, do it, i have no problem. But that's enough, otherwise i don't have a problem with our head coach. Of course Mourinho doesn't throw individual people under the bus, they are going to be benched, but only if there is a reasonable replacement! Calling Mr. Wenger a "specialist in failure" and beating him in his 1000 game in charge with 6:0 is classic Jose. In my view that's harsh, but fairplay, he took him out! Jose Mourinho isn't here to play nice and make friends, he is here to win, that's all what matters. The winner takes it all! As i stated before, for me it's not the right time for pulling the plugg. I can only speak for myself, but even if he doesn't win a title, he should stay! He is a serial winner, that should mean something! Fairplay to you, i didn't watch Chelsea twenty years ago. Does Mourinho make mistakes and questionable things? I am with you, but neither of us is Mr. Perfect. I didn't say that you are not allowed to share your thoughts with the community, i am only surprised how the mood has changed, hardly any positive thing to say or comprehensive solution, it's all about the same things, time and time again. It's all speculation, but i can't see that without Fabregas, Hazard, Costa and so on the others would step up, Mourinho let Kenedys play but that wasn't that big revelation to me, yeah, not bad, but for me not better than the "Stars".

Chelsea doesn't fight relegation after just two months, deep down you know that! I think a lot of the guys here needed an excuse to call for his head, some of them are bored because their toy isn't fancy anymore. As Mourinho said: "envy is the biggest tribute that the shadows do to the man." Really sad and depressing times around here, thank god that Abramovich and his board, a bunch of well trained und educated acadamics, don't think that way anymore. So, get some air, spent time with your families and friends and let that man work, for fucks sake... Otherwise continue that discussion, maybe Costa should go too, lol. I can only speak for myself and I am loving life...

A agree with you that this season he had bad moments. But that doesn't take away his personality and his standing within the team. In my point of view he is well respected and taken serious, that shows his captaincy, a guy like Jose Mourinho doesn't give it to a nobody. Agree to disagree i think!

Nice, a few years back we had somebodys back during the legendary reign of Fernando Torres, now we are in deep shit and battling it out. I see that you brought a gun to the fight, i mean as always you found some good arguments, let's get it started, lol. Ivanovic isn't up to the level which he consistently showed last season. I am right there with you! Even though Ivanovic had his poor moments, for me he upped his performances a little bit in recent times, but it continues to be poor to this day. I believe that Mourinho has recognized it, that's why Ivanovic has decreased his way going forward... Yes, some of his turnovers are really dangerous, a lot of his crossings going wayward and he is often exposed, because they target him! But Ivanovic is far more than a normal right back, he is one of the leaders in the team. He is a well respected member of the squad, he worked hard to achieve his goals, he is a personality who doesn't take shit, he directs his team mates, he stands up to the opponents during fights and he speaks to the officials! Should Baba become his immediate successor?! Apart from the money, which raises the expectations, i am not so sure yet! Baba is 21 years old, new to the country and this level of football. In addition to it he wasn't even match fit for Mourinho despite of playing for Ghana. When you take a look at the big picture, i mean long term project, then i think he will succeed Ivanovic as a right back but not today! Mourinho will establish him, step by step. Fullbacks can be an important part of the game. That's right! Last year Luis couldn't breakt into the team and now Baba needs still time to adapt. Yes, a David Alaba would be perfect for the team, but that's impossible now. Some years ago Ribery excelled during his partnership with David Alaba, Messi and Alves are a force to be reckon with and the list goes on. Would Hazard and Pedro improve having an supporting player around where they can give the ball to? Absolutely, but as a already said, i think Mourinho isn't completely wrong by choosing Ivanovic over Baba. Today, i haven't watched Barcelona play, either i shut my mouth or i watch it in the next time, still undecided, lol. All i can say, for me Alba is good in the offensive, but his positioning in the defense isn't that good, some might say headless chicken! Last season he performed well, maybe he can continue, we'll see. Mourinho always preferred having a defender who knows how to win an aerial duell and knows how to defend. Some time ago he told Ronaldo because of his style of play and refusal to help out in the defense his is out there on his own. That's how Jose sees the game, sometimes Hazard plays similar. I think you are a bit too hasty, Baba will be playing more and more, similar to Zouma who has taken Terrys place. Loftus-Cheek is now too big to fail, but he is just 19 years old, you don't have to be so impatient! Would you have forseen Oscars bad performance? I am not sure, but you would have put Loftus-Cheek in the starting eleven, but Oscar is a rightful member of the squad who has earned some playing time, that's difficult to decide. He wasn't even on the bench, maybe he had health issues, don't know. Superlatives shouldn't be important. Who is the best, or the worst, that's a continuous graph! Some time ago, i really liked those discussions, sometimes it got rough, but as an adult, it's less important to me. Approximately a year ago, Enrique was under huge pressure, i remember the time, where the "Messi to Chelsea" rumours made the rounds, lol. Some "Cules" called for his head, but the executives gave Enrique more time, look how it worked out, i think nobody complains now! I agree with you, that the philosophy and the personality from the man in charge should matter. Jose Mourinho knows the club very well, he has had quite some success, yes, his approach of the game isn't the way football is played with your friends, but he actually wins things, he is a smart and well educated guy with a degree from university, and he really likes it here. Take a look at his emotions against the 2:0 against Liverpool or his beautiful phrase "happy one". For me, he is the perfect man and i don't mind having a difficult season, because i know that a guy like Jose Mourinho will bounce back. Yes, you can call me deluded, but that's my understanding and i have seen a lot of games over the years. At the end of the day, we all have the same motive, but it's really depressing here, so much negavitity over the last months, seriously i have to ask some guys if it's been always this way because then, i am not so sure whether i am a good fit...

They lost some games and played poor football, but does that mean, they will continue to do so till the very end? I don't think so, today they played well, fought back and scored good goals! Fairplay to them! In the past some managers had piss poor starts, but they could redeem themselves and in the end, their position wasn't that poor. The league is competitive and after the glorious crowning some guys decreased rapidly, but they can fuck back! Football is a special business, a few months ago we won the league, now some fans are so nervous, they would like to pull the plug after ~2 months, that really amazes me, but i have to live with that, for me that's short term and limited vision, but who am i to make such claims...

If Wenger resigns they would seriously consider him! On Arsenal-Mania they are already discussing it, as well as in other communities... Mourinho already said, that he would like to stay in London, so you can figure out, what would happen, if Roman is stupid enough and kicks him out. He is a winner and the acting Champion of England, let that sink in!

He never changed completely his set up, but players like Kenedy, Loftus-Cheek, Baba, Zouma got chances. The temporary removal of John Terry is a huge step, for me he he is thinking about improving the team all the time. A lof of guys wished seeing more of Remy, now they saw him, i am not happy with his performance! Some time ago Oscar was the saviour, today he was playing very bad! Afterwards it's easy to judge and everyone know better, yes, Loftus-Cheek should have been a starter, but afterwards is afterwards! Maybe Mourinho should have axed Fabregas and Ivanovic some time ago, but it itsn't their fault, that Pedro could't finish his chance... Something is very wrong and i don't think that changing some names would lead to glory. At the beginning a new manager would grind out some good results but in the long run, i am not so sure. I can only speak for myself, but i would give Mourinho at least another complete season. In football there are bad spells and for me it's important how you look during the bad times, not the good times because then it's easy.

Do you really think thats his masterplan? Doing Jake shit and getting fired?

Clearly that was a bad game! Nonetheless bad luck, Pedro has to score, perfect pass from Fabregas, that was unacceptable! Ivanovic created a great chance for Remy, but caused too many turnouvers... I don't want Mourinho gone! Yes, the style of play isn't that pretty for my eyes, i would have liked seeing more youngsters during the preseason, but against Newcastle i don't make such demands, there is too much at stake! After the game people could speculate whether Loftus-Cheek could have done a better Job than Oscar, but before the game i prefered having Oscar playing... Who would do a better Job? Anyone remember the time without Mourinho? For me, horrible, not only because Mourinho was gone, rather because a Philosophy couldn't be established! All the well respected managers failed miserably! Everyone is entitled to have his own opinion, but i stick with Jose. That's loyalty during a few bad games, the man is a serial winner, i have no doubts. But i respect, when someone prefers seeing a more attacking and fluent side.
