LDN Blue

Damn.. My match day passion always gets the better of me. COME ON CHELSEA BACK TO WINNING WAYS WITH YOU! :cfc:

LOL well I was thinking Ronaldo rather than Bebe

Also, here's an idea for who we need. Manchester United's scouts.

Word for word, Max. Spot on!

can't believe how deluded I was..

We know it's going to be Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole Ramires - Essien - Lampard Anelka - Drogba - Malouda There really is no indication that's set to change, in shape or personnel. The best we can hope for is they don't screw it up :\

Anelka's back for this one. I'll be very surprised if Kakuta gets 90minutes.

That's precisely HOW a team goes from double-winning to average! Failure to replace these players have cost us dearly. Our bench has never been so weak, at least before we could call up Ballack, Deco, Belleti even Judas, knowing they'd make a difference to the play and make us more likely to score! We had the experience of Ricardo Carvalho to call up when Alex was injured or Terry was tired, we had a whole season knowing he'd be gone the next but failed to replace him. These players, gave us depth, imagination, attacking variety! And now they're gone and no-one's replaced them. There's no trust in our youth so what can Carlo do, but play the players he's got, who at the moment don't give a f*ck. Though there are the exceptions of players like, Cech, Terry, Ivanovic, Malouda.. They can't do it on their own. They need help and there isn't any around.

Actually, I think, we should blame the board and/or Carlo for not speaking up to Roman/The Board at the time.

Hardly, look at the squad.

Exactly. At least he hasn't left us with huge debts by taking out loans in our name, or taking funds out the club for personal gains. (Glazers & Hicks/Gillette)

Securing 4th place is priority #1

Yeah! But there's no signs Chelsea will go for him, and I don't think they will at all.

Yes, yes, yes! Definitely think so! Would be the best change I can think of right now.

Yeah, saw this by the Press Association via BBC Gossip. Least I expect though, like TX and various other members have said, no point in firing him now.

Read the comments, hear out the points.

I have an idea why, and it's quite brilliant. He takes them because he knows he can deliver it with enough fizz, speed and accuracy that even the slightest of deflections would send it into the back of the net. It's a good idea on paper, but the only flaw in it is, Drogba can't deliver that ball properly.

We should be able to exploit it though. We've got some of the biggest players.. Drogba, Essien. JT & Ivanovic know how to head in a ball too.. If we trained on scoring from them we'd score way more goals. ..Of course, that does require someone to put in a good delivery.

1-0 leads always give me heart attacks, especially with our shaky defence! There are only so many spectacular saves Cech can make before one creeps through. And yeah I remember that, I remember Andy Gray going on about how it was an "awful corner, make no mistake about it"

And the 2nd. We know how troubling 1-0's are

I certainly didn't know that, wow. He epitomised the role of a "Yes man", his best move was not changing Mourinho's tactics This is true. Just look at Wayne Rooney, I'm sure if Drogba had the same idea last summer, Roman would have forked out the same funds. Fortunately Drogba's not chasing money, and from his form right now, I can see why. Scolari did go on record saying he never played a player who wasn't 100%, and fair do's to him, he may have extended his career by 2 more years (though he may not even need that now.) Very true. The next manager must be allowed to build his own team.

I'd rather have Gary Cahill to be honest, he'd be cheaper.

I'm sure he's still haunted by Deco. We have a habit of buying players too late, Kaká was awful last season for Madrid, he's returning from injury in January, who knows if he'll be the same, Roman would not take such a risk!

Jamie Redknapp's take on Mikel.. No wonder he writes for The Daily Mail..
