Great post, a very convincing point. I'm one of the ones that wants Carlo to stay but i cannot argue with what you said. Even this season when we beat Man United and Man City, when both big teams are playing 4-4-2 and basically the same way, it mainly comes down to player qualities, our players are better and really did come out of there shells second half to win it. The Man City game, well that didn't look like a threat to be honest, Man City were poor, Yaya was giving the ball away a lot, Kolorov damaged his price tag, Dzeko didn't look the threat, and Silva couldn't do anything past our defence. To be honest i doubt Tevez would of done much our defence played well, like they have all season. The only player who was constantly stopping us getting through the defence was De Jong, and he was playing defensive midfield to. We rode of luck many times last season. I'm stubborn but i can be convinced, this has opened my eyes, i still have faith in Carlo, i have to. We owe him respect no matter what. But tactically he hasn't been impressive, i'm not obsessed in the Champions league, infact i was very happy that we were runners up, and that is a great accomplishment. We shouldn't be to obsessed in it, the thing is who just who could be Chelseas manager?, besides Mourinho because it isn't going to happen guys. The manager of Porto has done brilliant, they dominate the league and are miles head and probably won the league already. Heard they play great football to, really hope porto win the Europa league, it could show something.
