That's precisely why we question Carlo. I personally wonder if he's the right man to lead us through this transition and thus, build his own squad.

Bloody hell. Now that's left is biting.

They'd all - stupidly - say "oh they were mostly penalties" Mindless fools.

Haha I know Oh yes! Had forgotten about Cork! Wait, CB? Why?!

Mm, perhaps you're right. But faith is a cruel illusion, unfortunately it still blinds us (me being the case & point )

Perhaps. But we all know of Abramovich's obsession..

Nah didn't have the chance unfortunately. I'm just glad Pierce recognised his potential and real skill level, Josh will definitely get a boost from knowing there's one manager willing to start him regularly

Understandable. But has McEachran not demonstrated and proven this with all of his appearances to date?

Something that can be fixed via experience, which is gained by playing :eyebrows:

From what I've heard and seen, I think he'd have no trouble adapting. We all know his ability to find a great pass, the England u21 coach, Stuart Pierce was raving on about him today after the match. He's that spark of creativity we lack in our ageing & predictable midfield.

Haha no, still me! I will back Carlo, give him support as a fan for as long as he's here. But I believe he's not the right man to lead the next generation/age of Chelsea players. That is up for a new manager to take on.

I sincerely hope Carlo know of this. Josh is already being likened to Wilshere (a regular at Arsenal). The boy deserves a Premier League start now!

The sole reason Ancelotti was hired was for the Champions League. The sooner we win that, the sooner the board can find an excellent long-term manager with his new, fresh, squad.

Just started watching now (69minutes gone) Kalou just missed a sitter & Drogba looks to have woken up..

Yeah agree with everything.. His age shouldn't matter now, 17 he may be, but with his talent it is irrelevant.

Josh McEachran? Na, but if it works, it works

Drogba, Kalou & Essien all playing tonight.

Kalou as a playmaker? :mellow:

Oh ok! But isn't that sort of pointless? From what I remember we've got a pretty hectic pre-season this summer, good for him to get experience?

This title is so misleading it's astonishing. He simply means, by history, they're a bigger club. I don't think anyone can argue otherwise, Liverpool are a global brand that's been around for years, courtesy of their triumphs in Europe. He's simply trying to cool the bad blood between the Liverpool fans Exactly!

so true..

This was so worth the 1000th post of this thread

Yeah, exactly what I mean there! No-one expecting him to be a full-time squad player, but something like ^ that couldn't hurt.

Question is, will they work well together? Though if Hiddink is taking over from Arnesen's role, then hopefully we'll see more youth emerge into the first team

Do the Sun think we're fucking Real Madrid?
