Chelsea?

If our mids suck then we should move to the 4231. but in all honesty 4231 isn't gonna save our season.

AVB shouldn't be in charge of transfers probably. Chelsea should probably let a guy that knows how to asses a team's needs bring people in. YOU CAN'T LET A 34 YEAR OLD RUN CHELSEA. that's crazy. I hope Ron was shaking his head at the players not the manager.

after today: 4231 IS A MUST! Raul M. our midfield 2 should be ramirez and essien and forwards of Kalou Mata, Danny and Drogs. Kalou is starting 11 again. felt like decades when we wanted his head. AVB WAS supposedly FREAKING SHAKING ON THE SIDELINE. YOU GIVE A GUY THIS JOB AND GIVE HIM THIS LITTLE SUPPORT. THE some of Veterans that are supposed to help lead the team are turning on him, the fans seem to think jose will fix everything. YOU FREAKING BRING IN A 34 YEAR OLD, SUPPORT HIM!

rather 1-1 than having one of our rebels score a goal. First time in my life I can remember feeling like this.

I don't want Jose here. we just need to buy players. I don't want another window hearing avb saying this team is good enough or how next year's project is more important.

If AVB honestly thought this team was good enough If he really thinks 433 is better for us than 4231 right now then maybe he's not the man for the job

really dissapoint by the lack of youngsters on the bench. This should lead to boring subs even if we're up big(i pray). also disappointed it seems we're playing 433. like Bertrand and Ivan playing as FB's though

can we get a AVB! chant during the game? COME ON PEOPLE support the manager!

one thing we shouldn't be dumb about is the money. we spent millions this summer and we're still thin. we always spread out our spending and always end up spending millions on 2nd choice players. IF I COULD GET A FEW DEMANDS FROM RON COURLAY N CO. apart from the signings in the OP is SIGN AND SELL PLAYERS EARLY IN THE TRANSFER MARKET. If we wanna sell a player just keep them home. BUY EARLY CHELSEA PLEASE!

I can't wait for players to stop being bigger than our club. Who were the people that didn't back AVB?

Drogba would have been a suspect but he's not around and I don't think he's like that.

If any player over 30 doesn't back AVB, I say SELL. especially if they are causing a problem

Willian shouldn't be brought in as a regular starter, rather a squad player. like Nasri, A. Young Valencia etc. IF KDB is ready for us then I'd rather we use him instead. but the main people that need to leave are probably the guys with strong ties to Jose era. Terry, Cole, Essien and Petr should provide enough adult supervision. At this point our goal should be trying our best to give youth time as much as possible. I know it hard but lets try to get them some time. Lukaku should be giving a start I think. Danny should maybe get a chance in the middle. And any youngsters the team deems ready to move up to first team should probably get a chance too.

start with chech ivan-luiz-Cahil-Bertran Lampard-romeu piazon-mata-Malouda Sturridge If kalou is healthy start him instead of Piazon. if things are going good then. Lukaku for Sturridge, and Mata should also be sub'd

the onlly reason I put Cavani in my line up is because he's the best CF that seems moveable at this point. I don't necessarily want Cavani, just a CF that scores on a regular basis

which is exactly why I support the new stadium. why do most people oppose it again? and when can we realistically expect a new stadium?

"Playmakers" aren't want will be needed if we get some of these guys. when you try to come up with even 5 "playmakers" in the world, its pretty hard. If we can bring in either Di Maria or Eden, along with Mata we should have enough PM. even more that city usually have on the field with their regular 11. Terry and Cech must stay for adult leadership. along with Essien and Cole, players that are older but don't seem like they will cause much trouble in the dressing room. It might be a wish list but we spent about 50+ mill last summer and our squad feels as thin as last year.

When we haven't gotten rid of anyone? Peter Chec, Terry, Lampard and Drogba are the old chelsea and we all know this. yet we claimed this would be a transition year and these guys are still around. how can we not transfer any player that was over 30 last summer? simple example of how these veterans are affecting our team. Vs Man city, we got a penalty and Mata was gonna take it, but Lampard, being on the field for about 10min, steps to the spot instead, and Mata had to step back and let lamps take it. Vs Villa (i think) Drogba takes the penalty when it seemed Mata was the designated PK taker without lamps that day. By none of these examples I'm i trying to say lamps and grogba were selfish or even wrong. But it pretty obvious that Mata, who has performed better than Lamps n drogs (imo) has less power in the squad than these older guards. We need to replace these players. Lampard needs to be replaced, not just in the first 11. Drogba also. These players are too "powerful" which blocks our new players from expressing themselves. We simply should not bring Lampard, Drogba, Malouda, and Kalou back. Messi was good with Ronaldinho around, but the second Ronaldinho left, Messi became a world beater. Players step up when they have a leadership role. You shouldn't waste your leadership roles on players that are losing a step. My suggestions for Chelsea: Transfers this summer: Lampard - great player, but his accomplishments make it hard to drop him to bench. It also makes it harder for younger players to take leadership roles. Drogba - similar to Lampard's situation Torres - I don't think our team fits him Malouda, Kalou, Bosingwa, Feriera(?) and Raul Mierales are wild cards. only replace them if there's alternatives. Bring in: (My bring in is obviously assuming everything works like a video game and there's really no intangibles blocking the transfers) Di Maria - seems to want out, He's the best winger in the world; we need a winger -40mil Ayew - also a very promising winger that tracks back. he'll be pretty cheap and doesn't have to start many games for Chelsea. he seems a hard working. -15mil Hazard -not as big a priority as Di Maria but he can become an awesome player here. 35mil a CF - not sure if there's a better option than Cavani but we should certainly try to bring one in. Danny boy cannot be our main CF going into the next year. he will be a backup CF and RW, if he's not happy and underperforms we should look at Willian or another winger that's not as "ambitious" as Danny boy seems to be.. CF - 30mil This spending spree will cost about 120mill. around 90 mill if you add our player sales. Our typical match day squad 4231 ------------------Chec Ivan-------Luiz-------Terry------Cole -----------Ramirez--Romeu----------- Di Maria--------Mata-----------Hazard ------------------Cavani?-------------------- Bench-- Turnbull, Stturidge. Cahill, Essien, Ayew, Josh M?

what did avb say in after game PC? How awsome we gonna be next year? or how he don't want players that can't play in the CL.

why are we plastics? because some of us are upset at our performance? or some people want the coach out? you guys are true chelsea fans huh, stick with the same old even when we lose. Sound similar to the guys calling any chelsea fan that wanted more transfers in the summer as a "glory hunter". I have no reason not to believe chelsea fans know more about chelsea than most of our coaches.

arsenal 2 -1 sunderland

why Mata for Torres? does avb see Torres as more likely to score?

we aren't deep at all and yet we get to hear how we aren't interested in players that aren't CL eligible. i say keep avb, mostly because coaches do better in their 2nd year.

crap team. crap tactics. crap effort.

Is it because he is a Chelsea player? Or you just think these are all lies? He has been accused of sleep with a teammates girl, and saying something racist. These accusations if true are things that make one think little of a person.
