Not with Hector. He's playing in a lower league amd won't even qualify to be on the subs' bench.

Loads of managers mentioned being betrayed? I doubt it

What did Mourinho do or say to them that caused all this disinterest in playing on the pitch? It was apparent right from pre-season. Now that he has blasted his entire team with feelings of betrayal to the press, all good ties between them have been severed for good or for ill. But he will last the season as long as he drags the club away from the relgation zone.

When I see the turgid football on display in the vast majority of matches this season and coupled with the unmotivated spirit of the team on the pitch, I can't help but feel negative.

I doubt he will or has done that but my gut feeling tells me that Abrahamovich is giving Mourinho the entire season unless the club is still flirting with a relegation battle come March or April next year. Whether Mourinho will remain or stay beyond next summer will probably depend on who is available to replace him in the hot seat.

You contradict yourself in the same post by declaring that you don't care about being labelled a Mourinho fanboy yet demand that I receive a warning for doing so. Feel free to ignore my posts if you don't like to read them but demanding that those who aren't sharing the same views as you to be warned or banned shows you to be the egoistic and shallow character that you are. You don't want so-called negative posts? Create your own forum then.

Shed End is filled with Mourinho fanboys. I chuckle at his biggest fan who repeatedly crows "We are improving" even after losing to the likes of Bournemouth and sitting one point above the relegation zone.

I would like to know what your suggestions are with regards to taking action.

It won't happen with the way Mourinho has the team playing and his insistence on playing his favourites Fabregas and Ivanovic in every single damn EPL match. With an ultra-defensive outlook and a lack of goal scorers, there's zero chance of us stringing even two league wins together, let alone on a run to close a 14 point gap.

Stuck with him until the end of the season. And then Mourinho announces that he will take another season to transform Falcao into a fearsome striker hence the club will buy him. This whole loan project was a disaster from the get-go with Mourinho's ego and Jorge Mendes bank account being the main reasons for this lunacy.

However, man utd has never stopped blooding youth until today. Mourinho only want ready made players and nothin less.

The main reason for me why Mourinho will never reach the heights of Ferguson is due to his constant neglect of home grown youth players. The class of '92 will always be a legendary team and it was all due to Fergie's faith and management ability of his young players.

Fabregas will start. So will Ivanovic. But clearly the former is a bigger factor (in not winning) than the latter. Fabregas's start will result in a 2-1 loss to us.

It's best for the club that Fabregas is sold and Ivanovic is let go on a free transfer by not renewing his contract next summer. The club needs to move on and should never be held back by under performers.

One of the best performances this season (and that isn't saying much!). Matic was the standout player for me with Willian a close second. Interesting to note that with the exclusion of Fabregas (finally!), Matic picked up his game tremendously by not having to waste more energy covering him. Costa ran the channels but still has a problem with his final touch. Now if Ivanovic was dropped in the future with Azpiculetta slotting in at right-back, I would expect more of such performances and results.

I think it will be a 1-1 or a scoreless draw. The usual defensive set-up.

Asking a question is trolling and bullying? You got all your screws on? When I registered has absolutely zilch to do with what I can and cannot post as long as it is not abusive. This is a forum with freedom of speech - I suggest it is you who should deal with opposing views.

Who are the overpaid dross? Names please

Going forward, Mourinho or another manager coming in will have to make do with sensible spending with transfer budgets far below what the Manchester clubs can spend. Probably more akin to Bayern Munich's transfer budget. Regardless of FFP. Hence. proper scouting for cheaper targets and promoting home-grown youth comes vital. The club can't keep wasting millions on the likes of Cuadrado, Schurlle and Salah without making a dent in its cash flow. Moreover, the new stadium is the top priority for budget matters and there's won't be too much left over for splashing out on players.

We don't need another over-the-hill striker in Adebayor but that Texeira chap looks like a decent punt with his goals and age.

If you want warnings dished out, the same applies to you for labelling me as a piece of plastic. You don't like what you read here then create your own forum then and ban all the so-called plastics from it.

Deny his talent? I doubt his talent in being a long-term manager at any club, not just Chelsea. Yes. he can win trophies. But to build an identity like Ferguson? Dream on.

As ridiculous as a post I read in another Chelsea forum which stated that the team is slowly improving . LMFAO! Lost to Bournemouth's second string at home (who hasn't won in 2.5 months) and that's called an improvement!

And who picked those class players regulalry even if they are playing like lower league footballers?

A new manager is the only option left. Since Mourinho insists on repeating on making the same mistakes. Insanity and all that.
