Also a 4231 at Inter.

Ok... I am sorry... Anyway about the sacking, I think deep down we all expected Roman to sack Robbie eventually. He wanted Pep, when Pep won the CL vs Manchester United, Roman tried for him (apparently) as did others. He continued trying as Pep only signed one year deals. The fact it took Roman 3 weeks to appoint Robbie shows he was option C or D for him. The only problem I have is with this sacking that Robbie didn't get enough time but I always had a feeling Roman would get of him either end of the season or when results go bad like under AVB. Rumors are that he was sacked because he dropped Torres and didn't even play a striker, the weird and negative tactics vs Juve last night. there had been some rows in the dressing room recently, were nearly crashing out as European Champions in the group stages... oh and yeah we haven't won in 5 or 6 games too. If we pick our form up and recover maybe they will think "oh we've managed to save ourselves with what happened with Andre last year" (frustrating games and performances but eventually he got sacked like 6 or 7 games after the start of it) still ludicrious. Robbie might not have lasted long but he was the first manager here to win us the CL, so hes automatically a legend as a manager in my eyes.

Sky Sports @SkySportsNews Breaking news: Steve Kean accepts Chelsea job on 3 year contract. More on #SSN Anyone shit themselves there?!?!?!

If he wins us a trophy, he will be forgiven but still RAFA FUCKING BENITEZ......... no Roman noooo

If he gets Torres scoring 30 goals a season again keep him... if not he can fuck off haha. Also a twitter comment from Pedro Pinto about Benitez. Pedro Pinto ‏@pedrocnn Rafa would be such a wrong move for Chelsea... haven't met many players who like working with him. What the fuck, hasn't met many players that liked working with him.. ok big turn off, as if I wanted him in the first place as well..

fizzyjacko ‏@fizzyjacko Benitez will be named our manager tomorrow at the latest. Im done. ...... Expand This guy is reliable, a few guys on here probably follow him. Hope hes unreliable today though...

Mikel's job isn't to provide defence splitting passes. Hes a holding player whatever way you look at it, hes there to make tackles, interceptions, cover gaps etc. Hes not a regista, we need one yes but Mikel would defos have to play beside him which means no Ramires (which would suck as Rami is a key player for us now). We don't exactly need a regista with Juan and Oscar dropping deeper to get the ball plus who actually makes runs upfront for us? Not that infamous number 9 guy anyway...

Should of known haha!

Well a rumors started that Rafa Benitez has boarded a plane to London. God save us.......

NO AVRAM, NO HARRY OR NO RAFA PLEASE..... EVEN THOUGH ROMAN WILL LIKELY APPOINT ONE OF THE CUNTS

Looking back at the other games. We were very lucky vs Nordsjaelland, didn't get going for a while. Very lucky vs Juve at home, they probably could have won with better finishing. Lucky vs Shakhtar in both games so we probably got what was coming to us. The teams performances didn't merit going through unbeaten top of the group.

And if Graham Hunters right Pep doesn't even want the job... probably because he won't get time... which hes 100% right to think because well look at AVB and RDM...

We appoint Benitez and we will end up signing players like Sissokho and Pepe Reina... nooooooo go away Benitez you fat cunt

So how many games was that he lasted.. 16 or something... wtf talk about ridiculous... I thought getting rid of AVB early was ridiculous but this JUST TAKES THE PISS. Also Graham Hunter, talkSports Spanish football expert has just reported that Pep doesn't even want the job here.... so yeah.... Roman what are you doing...

Incorrect. The 65% of Mikel's passes this season have gone forward.Proves your backwards/sideways theories wrong. Hes also created 5 chances this season (which for Mikel this far into the season is good) so again your theory he doesn't create chances is incorrect The way he protects the ball is brilliant, hes really good at using his body to shield the ball. Last night I thought he didn't do too bad supposing he was always up against 3 CMs all of a very very high quality (Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio) along with Ramires. He had his usual stats last night 50 passes, 94 % completion rate. 1 key pass, 4 successful dribbles, fouled once. 1 interception, 2 effective clearances and gave away 1 foul. People always seem to criticize Mikel when we loose despite it not being his fault... its odd but I guess hes the "scapegoat" now that Kalou's gone lol.

Looked at like pages 20-35, everyone was either desperate for him to sign to be played as a RW or not signed at all. Funnily enough we don't even play with wingers now haha.

A lot of wants... didn't you not learn you don't always get what you want???

The whole team needs to start closing down and being aggressive. Its pointless one player trying to press 2 or 3 players at once! They will just pass it round him for fun. Pressing only works effectively when the whole team does it as a unit which is why we failed to do it under AVB because the strikers and wingers would do it but the midfield wouldn't squeeze up and do it after.

Surely if we signed him, we'd defos play with a false 9, who would come out of the three for him. The 3 and Willian are all exceptional players.

He must get time. Chopping and changing managers who might not want the likes of Oscar, Mata or maybe Hazard in the team or not use them to the same effect would be ridiculous. They need to become part of the backbone of this club. Players we rely on. Give him to the summer at least. Then the club can question his position if we've done bad.

Didn't Hulk not do something similar for Brazil a few months back? Also disappointed. Can see Robbie getting sacked if we don't get out of this slump or qualify for the last 16.

If your going to set up a team in a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 or 5-2-3 or whatever it is we are playing like Inter did in that 3-1 game, at least demand they fucking press the ball. Basically sitting so deep that they can fucking do what they want with the ball. Robbie won't last if we don't qualify for the last 16 in the CL too...

All to do now, especially if we want to go through. Also Bonucci typical Italian time wasting by feigning injury. What a bellend cunt.

If hes excelling, possibly a loan deal to the championship next season or even in January? well I think he'd be better off in Belgium to the summer. Then the championship. Then maybe a PL loan after that... to a newly promoted side or something then another one after to a higher up club. None of those Gael Kakuta loans or anything... and if that happens with his loans (would be sad as hes seen as a good talent) hopefully nobody will run around saying he deserves a shot after like 20 games in 4 years like everyone going on about Kakuta in the summer... " Hes ready to play for us", "How is he?", "Hes had 3 loans away from the club", "He played like 15 times max out of all three loan spells..." .... when I seen that in the threads earlier this year I nearly cried.... NEARLY..

Didn't a lot of guys on here think he was a stupid signing? I think the fact all the Belgians on the forum who have been watching him and commenting on him impressing means he must be a good player in the making.
