Henrique

you must be a clown.

It depends what you call success. About Xavi and Iniesta, as you said they were nobodies. What is hapenning with Chelsea, is the same thing hapenning you brazilian national team. They got rid of the old players, and then suddenly Neymar, only 19 years old then, became the man. The other players that people were talking about were Ganso, Lucas and now Oscar, all of them are u23 guys. They discovered that despite the young talent, those guys lacked experience. Brazil lost all big matches, and now they are asking Kaká again, and the talk is that Ronaldinho should return as well. About Hazard, yes, he gave some assists, he has some good games, but nothing close to the hype around him before he joined. There were talk about him being our captain, and this kind of weird thing.

There were some weird formations where even Marin was on the starting XI team, instead of Ramires. Its a shame that some people here believed Lampard was no longer needed, or that Ramires should sit on the bench for unproven u21 guys.

http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/20421560 "When he took over, Chelsea were in a mess. The dressing room was divided by their alliances for and against their manager. The belief had begun to drain away and with it the defensive organisation that had become the bedrock of the club's success during much of the past decade. And yet despite all that, it has granted him very little breathing space just three months into the new season." Thats why he deserve credit. I dont see Guardiola doing a better job than this with this squad. well, we have Mata (a sub for Spain), and Hazard and Oscar, both u23. For me its also not a suprise that we started our bad run when Lampard got injured. "Chelsea lacked character and presence". I 100% agree with that, I dont like this Mata-Oscar-Hazard thing, because none of them have presence and character, well they are too young. I really hope in the next window we get some experience, because I'm tired of this 20 years old players thing.

Hazard was a 32m signing but right now he is still a player for the future, along with Oscar they are promissing players, but unproven in a higher stage. The problem is they believed both were ready to lead this team.

This squad is not good enough yet, I dont blame RDM.

I think the mods should do that, because we already have two topics about it. Discussions about RDM should stay in "RDM is the right man" topic.

Willian - 4 goals in UCL, one of best players in the groups stage. Hazard - 0 goals in UCL and a timid player in most part of the matches. Just saying.

Thats a bit rash, because I believe RDM played a huge part in the UCL glory. But I have to agree. We are not making progression, and his tatics today proved that. We always played with a CF, and then he tried this new thing. Actually we are not looking like a team, game after game, it seems we rely on the talent of Ramires, Oscar, Hazard and Mata. When you look the fixture, we will have a lot of games between November and January. The squad is really small, today we had no CB in the bench, and you put a tournament in Japan in the table, I'm think I saw this movie before...

3 Sometimes even a bad striker is good The removal of Torres left Chelsea without anyone who has even faint memories of being considered a natural finisher, and meant that their most clinical penalty-area predator was probably Gary Cahill, who as a centre-back was unlikely to spend much time predating. This was an issue on the three occasions when the away team got the ball into dangerous positions within Juventus's penalty area. On the first Hazard might have shot first time, took an extra touch and Gianluigi Buffon saved; on the second Oscar might have shot first time, cut inside and found his path blocked; on the third Mata reached Hazard's excellent cross but appeared to want to control the ball, which bounced fairly harmlessly to Buffon. A natural striker, no matter how poor his form, might at least have mustered a shot from those three opportunities, and could only have made Chelsea more likely to score.

Dude, should you stop using this letters? Can the moderators do something about it?

Poor TX, we are a European League side, after all.

I really dont know if he is the man to take CFC forward, but I'm more than sure than he wont be the man to do that.

I think right it really doesnt matter.

Embarrassing. What a disgrace.

You are a disgrace as well, asshole.

Well, we are playing very good and RDM tactics are great.

RDM really got the balls. No Torres yet.

Shaktar lead. We need a goal.

I have to say you are wrong. We were far from very good. How can a team that play very good let the opponent creat many chances. RDM tactcis were not great. Some people here are a disgrace, I agree. Some just overreact when we are losing, others like you fail to see the team weakness and keep saying everything is fine and great.

Azi is useless in ths game. Stupid line-up by RDM, really stupid. As much as I know Torres is far from being in a good form, going for this game with no CF, and Azi as a right winger was not a smart decision.

Hazard is not playing as a false CF. Its a 4-6-0. Weird.

Is Luiz playing as a DM?

Luiz as a DM, please.
