A very fine passer of the ball, not so sure about crosses, I mean it's not exactly like he often finds himself on the wing, he's certainly not a Ramires kind of midfielder that can also be used on the wing.

It's Zemanlandia! He got fired in February for a reason haha, but it makes for highly entertaining games. But yeah, Rossi played under that for most of the season and then a few months and then played under their assistant manager for the rest of it, I really would not judge anyone from Roma too much on this season especially players that has showed their class as consistently as Rossi before.

It's a reasonable price and his drop in form has not been close to as big as people on here makes it sound like, not being able to adjust to Zemans kamikaze tactics isn't really an indicator that he wouldn't be a very good solution for Chelseas midfield problems. Think we got a few players who would be hilariously bad trying to play like this too.

Unlike the Benitez story, they say in the Mourinho article that it's "according to Yahoo sports", basically saying that it's not their own story but just re telling shit sites rumor.

The assistant manager should just be good at his job and work well with Mourinho, if it's someone who played for Chelsea before that would be nice yeah, but if anyone can do a better job then not hiring him would be silly. I have my doubts about Materazzi of all people though lol, Lampard as assistant manager though? Not before he retires... Think you are seriously underestimating how much time assistant managers also spends working, should be 100% focused on playing instead.

Same way as Joey Barton was still suspended in the french league after he got banned with that whole Aguero incident I guess?

Awesome to see Andreas Christensen on the bench toiday.

I don't think it's fair to bring in his time with Benfica, he left because their club president lost an election and the new one wanted another manager, the new president even later admitted that he was in the wrong... But yes, he is a very strong personality and Chelsea needs to be able to handle that.

Of course that's why.

Problem being that Mourinho also has to agree to that.

So awesome

and yet again his shocking defending costs a goal. If it was Luiz on this form we wouldn't hear the end of it from the English media.

Cahill needs to stop being so fucking passive, he ends up backing all the way down into his box without applying any pressure to the player making a run towards him, he always does this.

I highly doubt he's making that much. Obviously it was a big opportunity for him and he messed up, it's not like he fucked up for the fun of it.

It was his debut. After Almunia got injured in the warm up and the second keeper got an apparently pretty bad neck injury while playing, feel really bad for him even if that was some terrible keeping.

That was pretty funny haha

It's hard not to love Luiz.

I don't see Bild saying that anywhere on their site. Anyone got a link or a picture of the newspaper?

It's just a cultural thing, guys.

If he had gone for the premier ass at least I could understand.

Typical. Not even as mad as I thought I would be. Of course it was that rat bastard that had to score the late equalizer after some real Fergie time, not to mention the several other Liverpool players that should have been sent off. Despicable club, wouldn't surprise me if he somehow managed to escape a ban.
