We've been through that in the Ancelotti topic. Keeping a manager for the sake of stability and continuity completely ignoring his ability isn't healthy for the club. Using that logic we might as well have kept Scolari or even Grant.. That, frankly, sounds like one of the pro-Kalou arguments that had everyone criticizing his ability expecting too much from him and having standards that he couldn't meet. In other words it's just a very weak argument and yet another attempt to question the judgment of those criticizing Ancelotti instead of countering all the valid arguments against him. A lot of things aren't working under Ancelotti. Doesn't look like it affects him.

Fair and I've got to admit I'm impressed by your patience. The Copenhagen games will be a real test though

Valuing style over results and/or concistency would have made more sence had we not been a club in need of a transitional period and had our break-even plans not been so reliant on playing in the CL.

At the cost of another season out of Europe? At the cost of destroying what was build in the last 7 years? I'm not even going to mention destroying young players with potential and a U19 European Golden Player winner as the club is bigger than them. The club is bigger than Ancelotti.

If we lose against Copenhagen Ancelotti might get sacked. Would you blame the board/RA for this decision ?

I have an idea: Lets all blame Emenalo Surely it all has to be his fault

Of course. What infuriates me is that we see neither signs of transition nor improving by using the old guard. And hearing that we went through a bad moment doesn't make it any better.

I can respect that. However IMO at this point both the players and the manager deserve heavy critisism.

Pardon my memory but has a midfield of Ramires and Mikel ever worked?

It looks better when you realise that 2 of them were simple caretakers.

It's a shame the lack of respect the players are getting after bringing us the double last season.See how easy and stupid this is?

Gotta use a special font for sarcasm.

Petr Cech 6 - Conceded a free-kick Paulo Ferreira 7 - Solid Branislav Ivanovic 6 John Terry 7 Ashely Cole 6 - Missed a pen and was regular John Obi Mikel 7 - Best CFC midfielder in the fist half Ramires 7 - Passanger in the first 45 but got better later on Frank Lampard 2 - Would have been a 1 had he not scored Salomon Kalou 7 Didier Drogba 5 Florent Malouda 4 SUBS Micheal Essien 6 Nicolas Anelka 6 Yuri Zhirkov --

Who was the last manager who won us the bestest double evar

Oh and to get bs out of the way: Cup manager my arse.

Should I wait until the CL game?

Can't be right. We won one last year in CS.

I give up. Disgraceful performance and we didn't deserve to win but losing on penalties is worse. How long until June?

Keep Anelka away from penalty shot-outs..

Just our fucking luck. Lets see if the only realistic chance for silverware will slip today.

Only our second substitution

Finally!! Thank you Anelka

Hope it'll finish one way or another during the extra time. I absolutely hate penalties.
