Did I miss something or is that youtube video you linked completely off topic?

Yes, the whole team yada yada, but this is the Fabregas thread. I haven't forgotten what he did, but at the moment he is useless.

Useless gooner.

Fair enough, so am I. I never believed I could be pushed far enough as to feel what I'm feeling right now towards Mourinho. I think it's fair to say we are all kinda lost as in what to feel and think. On one hand this is a man who walked into the club in a god-like status, but on the other hand if you take the history, sentimentality and unconditional adulation away what do we have left? We have hope, because it is always the last thing to die, but other than that... I don't know.

Are you amazed that the community has reacted this way or are you amazed that the club is in the state in which it is? If it's the first, then you have been a member long enough not to be amazed by this. Heads have rolled for far, far less over here. If you are amazed by the state of things in the club, then I'm with you.

No, I am not calling you a fanboy. I am simply asking why in your mind you are doubting the seriousness of the topic. It is as justified as anything else being discussed in the forum, even more so considering the circumstances. You can show your support to the highly successful manager by voting "no", not questioning or dictating what the community should be seriously discussing.

Why shouldn't it be? It's a justified question that's been discussed for some time now. At least the poll gives a clear view on what the community thinks not having to read through pages of anger and disappointment. You wouldn't be asking this if any other name but "Mourinho" was there.

Blaming the referees who didn't grant Soton 2 pens.

Because there was no question.

"Predictable" being the key word here.

Vote.

Pedro for Willian Brilliant.

Referee doing us huge favours. Will we be able to score a goal from open play finally? Let' see...

Mystery solved. He is shit on purpose because he "likes to speak about his mistakes".

So we are 1-0 behind before the game has even started... great.

Still doesn't justify Jose's childishness. Since when is it okay to call or hint that somebody is fat? Maybe I was raised differently, but I was taught that it is not okay. Especially in a professional capacity to start throwing personal digs. Jose should just shut the fuck up and concentrate on his job, which he is doing very bad at the moment. And I believe it's partly due to him running his mouth too much. It is funny and amusing, of course, but that is why we have become a joke.

Because RLC isn't as famous as Cesc.

No, on the contrary I was trying to point out that our defence is so shit that in normal teams a goalkeeper conceding 2+ goals on regular basis wouldn't be considered any good, but in a team like Chelsea conceding is inevitable and he is the only one who has stopped us from shipping in ~10 goals every game.

Couldn't give a shit about nationality, main thing is for the owner to be just and have the club's interests in his/hers heart.

You talk about being protected and eased in, how many minutes exactly has he got in the premier league? I think the answer is a big fat zero. And that despite our defence leaking worse than ever before mainly from our right side, and what has been tried to rectify the situation? Dropping a left-sided central defender? I guess that's worked wonders so far. This is beyond age, protection and adaptation. It's about using the squad to its full extent and exploring different possibilities and potentials, which hasn't been done. He is protecting someone, but it's not Baba.

Do you think Baba deserves and has deserved more chances ahead of Ivanovic right now and earlier in the season? Do you think Luis deserved more chances last season? "Yes" or "no" questions.

Word. Was in the middle of posting something similar when I saw your post. Eden is the last man who should get any stick, he has been nothing but magical for us since he signed, not only last season. If patience is shown towards the likes of Ivanovic, Fabregas, Costa (and the list goes on), then Hazard deserves it 100 times more. It's sickening to think that we might lose our best player BY FUCKING GOD DAMN FAR because he has stopped saving Mourinho's ass every single game. Maybe the fault lies in the players around him standing like fucking statues and a conservative right-footed left-back offering little to no support on his wing, ever thought of that, Jose? I actually see Hazard trying, but it's hard to try when everything in and around the club is fucking ponce and the manager is grabbing every opportunity to scapegoat you while sucking off other dead wood. Yes, I'm seriously pissed that Hazard appears to be the first name on the list to get dropped when something goes wrong.

It's so cute that you genuinely believe that. Baba is a league cup player for Mourinho, until we get kicked out of that competition. Was Luis also being eased in or just getting shunned for our manager's favourites?

Some pundit on ESPN said that Mourinho's reputation and success has been built on defences and I agree 100000%. When the defence is failing him and he is unable to fix it, he is out of his depth I'm afraid.

Only at Chelsea you can consistently concede 2+ goals as a goalkeeper and still be the undisputed MOTM. Worthy replacement to Cech.
