Looks like we suddenly talking to every defenders left, right center ... seems hilarious at time.

For everyone saying we need to sack the manager, I don't believe that is the right way forward for our club given our situation with managers in the past. I m a big Jose critique but as a club we aren't look up well when it comes to handling our managers. With the slight drop in form, we are out to get a new manager. Every manager in the right mind wouldn't chose Chelsea other than money angle (Pep has been the prime example) ... We say lets go after Klopp, do you seriously think he will come over to get sacked in a year? We would rather wait and try his hands at Bayern next season. Right now, we can just hope Jose sits, thinks, re-thinks his strategy and gets us up and running. We have the players, the potential, even a good manager if he drops his ego and arrogance. Club & board has to support the manager so that when tomm we go out hunting mangers, we can get a world class one. You look around and every club is supporting their managers baring Chelsea (Jose has been the exception because it was damage control after the Pep fiasco)... imagine likes of Pelligerni, LVG, Wenger at Chelsea and they wouldn't have gone beyond their first/second year. My 2 cents on the sacking ...

Agreed on Zabaleta (for me the best RB in the last 3 seasons) & Kolarov (very under-rated) ... But age is catching up with everyone and Sagna at times isnt convincing (a lot of time) ... i believe all of these are in their 30s (if i m not wrong), it's a risk for them at this stage to not invest in those positions ... The fire power they have they will always score and keep the not so strong opposition on the back foot. Let see as the season goes ahead ...

Good piece of business by City ... If Augero can be fit, then they can really do well in the Champions League as well ... PL they should be champions hands down now ... The only weaklings for me in the City squad would be their fullbacks other than that they are very very good.

Fail to understand something, why is that we dont have a backup planned in case the Pogba deal goes south (which has now) ... if are spending shit loads of money on Pogba, I m sure we can get anyone for that position with that kind of money. Something doesnt feel right... If we thought that we will get our man, seems to be an arrogant way of dealing things ... Thought we learned our lesson after Pep's fiasco ...

Jose needs a break ... And I hope he takes one away specially with the international break coming up ... Take a small break, gather your mojos and get going ...

Re-phrasing it: Chelsea cannot afford to sack a manager for a few seasons ... We already have a bad reputation with managers. Just hoping that common sense prevails in Jose ...

Magic Words!! Something that cannot be spoken around ...

Wouldnt be surprised if he would have named anyone but Ivan or Fab.

The good thing abt the game I liked was Zouma apart from Kennedy... Zouma puts in more than 100% to the cause, you put me anywhere and I will be all committed to the cause. It is fun to watch him jumping to get the headers, making those run into the opponent box ... remains of Luiz ..

Firstly lets not talk like an Arsenal supporter .. because that's what you sound like ... The aim of this club NOW is to be there on the top, keep winning day in day out,, season after season ... tournament after tournament ... I know what you're saying and trust me I do echo your thoughts ... But mate, whats happening is really embarrassing ... specially when we have won the freaking league last season, WE ARE GODDAMIT CHAMPIONS! ... I have no issues with losing/drawing but it is how we are losing/drawing it specially with the quality that we have. That's what is killing everyone (my belief). Have we spend shit loads of money to see this!!! Seriously! You play it right and fans will not be as disappointed as we are now. On forums you see everyone saying the same thing ... These are pains areas, lets mend it but we are doing the same old thing again and again and again ... Then you say we need to have a little perspective, how can we have one? You tell me ... I know our fans in the past have suffered or have seen more pain than what we will and I hope the next set of fans never see it! Respect to those fans, seriously they have been there for the club which is amazing ... But now we arent the old Chelsea, we strive to be the best not just in England but Europe and the World. And i m sure if those old fans wouldn't be happy seeing what we are doing on the field. Dont mean to argue or hit on you, apologies in advance if I came across as arrogant ... Cannot help it.

Then I reckon, plz dont switch on the TV till end of season or until you get the news that both are out injured ....

I'm hoping you got the message now as to why I M CONCERNED about how Ivanovic plays !!!!!!

Dont sure but feel that Oscar would be more impressive rather than Willian ... IF he is allowed to play a more aggressive game ...

because some of you are not concerned about the larger issues that we have ... Seriously Ffs!!!!

Ivanovic ... Yaaaaye!

Looks like everyone is awake now ... 2000+ online ... Good Morning!

How the hell everyone is a reliable source and yet there is nothing reliable about their statements ....

Pedro's debut was a breath of fresh air again West Brom ... Hoping we can have the same with Baba against Palace ...

good so now with one layer of defene gone, can I still punch him On a serious note, Jose needs to get out of his one dimensional egotistic approach, it is high time ... I always use to quote his statement which he had given way back "To be a top manager, you need to keep evolving season after season" to every one ... I realized it some time back that Jose will never follow what he says ...

Not to bring anyone down here ... but i recollect last season when I had mentioned I really wanted to punch Jose and the way you jumped in to defend ... And today hearing you go against just got that flash of memories back (If i sure it was you, apologies in advance if not)

Wasn't he injured and Jose had already mentioned he wouldnt feature in the City and West Brom games ...

Every player has a price ... but Juve know that Pogba is a freaking mint and they are hoping on that. The reason there is no movement (like u mentioned) is because Juve wants a bidding war for the most sought out player ... If there is a bidding war, he will get the records broken. Simple as that. Thats why they are waiting. So the reasons/pointers that you mentioned doesnt really hold any ground ... the moment the number is hit, Juve sells him. Like it or not ... It is all about money, honey!

Dont worry mate ... there is a huge queue of those already standing out there ...

It seems there is no motivation left in him this season ... he wanted to win the PL which is achieved, wanted to show that he can still be part of winning side which is done. To up his game at the CM position he will need to up his game... which means putting in defensive efforts & that cant see him doing ... No10 not sure, he not able to dicate play, he will need to really step up ... Jose need to show him some carrot for which he can fight for else he will soon become a liability for us.
