The Rising Sun

Morata is quite a basic striker. If we spend anything above 50 million pounds, we need that striker to be just one level below the suarez and agueros of this world. Even YouTube has not changed my mind. YouTube makes every player look special . What is special about him? He looks no better than pelle

For that to happen we would actually be required to play him. The only youngster that is worth that here is RLC

Jose out. Ivanovic and fabregas for reserves.

out. won a few games against championship level teams, and arsenal by luck and bad behaviour.... we deserve better.

mourinho out. Too much ego and too less on the training field. He has the magic of going to a team and understanding what it needs to win a title. Once that title is won, and those players lose their flair due to his boring management, they stop performing, and he doesnt have any new ideas. 4-4-2 ? does he even think of new formations? or even different players for positions. Out.

anyone noticed something hilarious during the game? Every ball ivanovic tried to cross, was blocked at the spot. Every ball that an everton player tried to cross from ivanovic's side. went straight in. Pathetic.

City also had the same players from last season, pretty much. The Chelsea same players excuse doesnt exist. Jose needs to learn to play attacking football or i can see a tough season coming ahead. Make players train to play in an attacking style, and dont always set them up not to lose, thats how players lose their creativity, pace and direction. Get you shit together and man up Jose.

doesnt have class.

Oscar was phenomenal. The fact that he was taken off instead of fabregas was such a joke. Feel sorry for him. Willian does everything right except finding the assists and goals. Would be probably the bets cdm ever, who has an attacking side as well. Ivanovic has got to either learn how to cross and give assists, or sit on the bench. I would much prefer azpi on rb with lesser forward runs than ivanovic doing what he does. Jose just made him the VC if im not wrong. KDB and Schurlle sold, for salah and that other guy. we need a better attacking approach. Dont slow the game down. Dont slow it. Dont. Just Dont.

Its Mourinhos job to get players improving during training. Another training session is still another failed training exercise. This was a real world scenario training session for both teams, and we were terrible. What has he been coaching our players apart from saying " we are family" i trust you. Lets hug each other and create a loving environment. Create an attacking philosophy and it will show during games. Yes, i know it is pre season, but this is a longer thing for me. Jose needs to get his shit together.

Terrible performance from the team, but that is ok since its preseason. Just hoping we play better football than we did last season. We cant sit back and counter attack as a gameplay style against every team. We need to be quicker, more agressive and dominating this season. If Jose plans to play the same way we played last season, that will be disappointing.

i'll be surprised if even 1 of these European and domestic champions break into our first team. Maximum a few appearances in the 80th minute or so. Not with Jose in charge anyways.

probably the worst buy we have ever made. Feels exactly like the Lamela transfer where the player is fuck all. what on earth were our scouts looking at. No skill, just stand and dance, thats it. then lose the ball. No pre season is going to make this guy good. Hater alert!

Somehow he needs to get us playing at a level to compete with the Big teams of Europe toe to toe. Dont know how, but it should be the next thing in his agenda now that the PL has been won.

No drogba please! Hopefully Remy is fit by then. Love drogba, but its sadly over for him IMHO. 2-1 win.Ivanovic winner.

Above Cazorla definitely in performances over the season, and even if you were to judge via FPL points, which is a good indicator of the players performance over the season, Erikson is up there.

----------My PFA Team of the Year: -------------------de Gea------------------ -----Ivanovic- ----Terry----Bertrand------- Sanchez--Fabregas---Eriksen--Hazard- --------Costa-----Kane------Austin--------

agree with your point there, but the only thing i can say is that last year we had a team with lesser quality than this year. and we were playing vs 10 men for most of the game,

Mourinhos negative attitude lost us this tie imo. Didnt push his players to play positive and let the game and gameplan drag on hoping that we scrape through. We have done this many times in the Pl going 1-0 and then scraping through. We are deservedly out as we are not positive enough to deserve to go far amongst the elite

In the words of Jose Himself : This is a disgrace. 2-0 up, can not lose 4-2. At home. We couldnt watch the game but i simply can not imagine what went on for such a turn around to happen. The fact that there was rotation shouldnt matter. Our second team should be able to beat bradford, and in this case, hold on to a 2-0 lead at home. What the fuck happened.

Hopefully he is more productive going forward, but in general play seems no better than salah or schurrle. He will provide something different but not an upgrade IMO. This is purely based on youtube.

tries to hit the ball too hard almost every time he gets a chance at goal. He is making himself the prime candidate to be replaced in the starting 11 this summer. We need more quality and goals/assists from an attacking player on the RW, and at some point of time, his "effort", which is respected by everyone, is not enough anymore. Just to give an example of another player who makes similar effort as willian, SANCHEZ. If we had Hazard Oscar Sanchez as our front 3 with Costa. That is what will happen this summer IMO. A new RW for sure.

anyone else think shaw is average at best? very unimpressive

Disgraceful move by Lampard. While he is a legend and will always be respected at Chelsea, he will be viewed differently from now. Took fans from both CFC and New York for granted. Sad really. They even put up a few huge billboards in NY with Lampard in the image and sold some 12000 season tickets. This is jus plain wrong, and UEFA should look into it.
