Pizy

For the love of God, please score again! Hurry!

Our defending around the box is so nervy and poor. Everyone terrified of players running at them. It's a huge weakness of our. When teams press and run at us with the ball we struggle mightily.

Jesus Christ! Wake up! We need to score again before they do or well be in serious danger.

Awful, awful setpiece defending. School boy.

Hopefully Steve is telling the boys not to relent and to get after them as if we're 0-0 in the second half. One of Mourinho's biggest annoyances is settling for results far too early. Fucking hammer them!

Oscar was the player who said "I'd rather lose than win for Mourinho." I'd bet on it. Looks like he's actually trying now.

Pedro, Oscar, Matic, and Cesc...wow. Look like different players. Costa's best game in ages. He's actually playing as a striker! Who would've thought that works?

I'm as pissed at the players as anyone but I wouldn't boo them like this.

I'm sure Fabregas and Costa are thrilled to go out there and perform for fans that are booing them.

Imagine the scenes if we come out in the same lethargic, can't be bothered way and allow Sunderland to boss it. We better se the likes of Costa, Cesc, and Oscar with a point to prove and at the races today.

Were people honestly expecting Steve Holland to instantly chop and change the entire XI? As if. I expected maybe 2 changes, if that.

Did RLC secretly break his leg or something? Can't even get on the bench anymore.

No Hazard. This'll be a difficult one. Even more so than it already would've been.

If he said it we can all assume the opposite is true.

But if Pep goes to City and Acelotti to Bayern they'll be left with no other world class managers. They may not have much of a choice unless they stupidly give it to Giggs far before he's ready.

I'd love that, but it would be pretty hard to see him not only screwing Atleti by leaving himself, but also taking their two best players with him. Would be amazing to have Koké in midfield next to Matic and Griezmann in the hole as a second striker behind Costa. We'd essentially be Atletico de London with half of our XI having played under him before. --------------------Costa-------------------- Hazard---------Griezmann----------Willian --------------Koké--------Matic------------- Baba-------New CB------Zouma-------Azpi -------------------Courtois------------------- Goddamn, that's a hell of a team.

Or you have a load of pussies in your ranks not playing to their ability...

I'd happily have Simeone IF Koké is the first "must buy" he targets and brings with him. Wouldn't the language barrier be a serious issue, though? It doesn't matter too much when it comes to talking to the press as we've seen the likes of Pochettino use a translated for that stuff, but would he be able to communicate well enough players like Hazard etc?

Honestly, many of them are so desperate to get back the the summit that they won't care about his "style." They just want to win again and go further in the CL.Can't see him wanting to go to PSG for the very reason you said. Piss easy league and no challenges on a week to week basis. Not winning the CL is a failure of a season there because walking Ligue 1 is no problem. I think back to Madrid or United are his only two options.

A Chelsea legend and our all time greatest manager winning and stopping us winning with a direct rival wouldn't bother you?That's madness to me. Especially if some of the players who got him sacked fuck off and abandon us.

If we don't get Pep or Simeone in the summer we risk becoming Liverpool for the foreseeable future. Struggling desperately to get back into the top 4. We won't be able to attract or keep star players without a respected, top class manager and CL football.

I wonder how the majority of Chelsea fans would react to him not only going there but also being successful (and therefore preventing us from being successful).He can make Chelsea look terrible and stick a dagger in us that'll hurt for years if we get our next appointment wrong.

As expected, that statement makes it sound like he's pissed off (as he should be) and will take the United job. He'll try his damnedest to make Chelsea regret sacking him again. He'll be even more motivated and determined than he was before.

Yeah, but I don't think that's down to him sabotaging Mourinho. I just feel he's played so much football over the years that's he's burning out physically. He looks like an old man against any midfield with some pace and athleticism.Other clubs have figured him out. He's not going to surprise anyone anymore. They'll target him and take him out of the game.

Personally don't think Fabregas has been tanking it. He was slow as fuck and unathletic last season as well. Still don't think he'll suddenly turn it around in the coming weeks and become the highly motivated player he was when he first joined. If anything I think Costa is the biggest bad apple in the team. And I do think that Hazard was getting annoyed with Mourinho and his methods.
