There has been recently a lot of cases of younger guys getting some type of problems in the middle of a game. I am not sure if this used to happen a lot a couple of decades ago, but if it's a new trend then it has to be with all the injections and drinks the athletes take these days. I remember reading about a young teen collapsing in a basketball game and some people said it was because he drank too much red bull....

Well we could finally have someone to rotate Mata out then. Cause after Mata we got no creativity, and he can get some games...hopefully more then what Ryan should have gotten this season!

Is he ready to comeback to the first team lineup like Sturridge did? Or he needs another season of loan?

Yeah he was young, but still was a top dog, like when A. Cole was kicking ass at such a young age. And as far as Paulo I never see it, but if that's your opinion, it's your opinion.

Well that's your opinion cause I always rated Philip Lahm who can play as RB or LB as one of the best in Europe during that time.

Well Pep should know since he learn from the man himself! :blue scalf:

All you need is luck, and having to avoid some of the stronger teams in the quarter is good. If we get pass Benfica then we can worry about Barcelona or Madrid. So we are surprised we got this far, let's do another one! :cfc:

Awesome draws!!! And people already talking about semis and finals???? Geez just be happy we are here. A few days ago we thought we couldn't be here. Let's just enjoy the moment and be happy as far as we go. It's been a roller coaster of a ride!

You guys are right about Terry. But I can see a good assistant coach and coach being formed in Terry-Lampard for Chelsea. They could be like the good cop, bad cop!

Not as absurd as gambling on AVB!

Good report again. Agreed with the Ferreira and Bosingwa departs. Although I like Ferreira as a character...he could stay at Chelsea and be some sort of assistant. He was not a top player, but his experience and assistant would not be bad for Chelsea. Plus you can always use a "translator" Ashley if we get a good offer he must be sold! If not, then get a new LB or give Ryan more chances as you stated. And for RB I still want Cesar Azpilicueta from Marseille. :blue scalf:

Good post, keep the rest coming.

Bielsa's team on track to eliminate SAF team! Hopefully they don't blow it like a lot of teams do in the end against United!

Yeah I would still take the player manager role over Bielsa!

Still I would still take Terry as a manager then some other foreign manager!

Yeah true, but Gullit and Vialli did great. Our players today had have some of the best coaches in Europe. Sure they learn a thing or two about them! And besides when you have an uber team all you need to do is motivate them.

They got experienced as a player and that helps a lot.

Sorry but experience speaks. AVB lack of experience showed. AVB might be a great manager but his foolishness cost him and took us down to a bad season. I am a firm believe that we should gamble on player to coach. I take it over Moyes, Bielsa, Mourinho or any manager out there! We spend so much money on managers, gamble so much, that the alternative is relative cheap. This gamble should be taken!

Well I sure want it. I am tired with all the Mourinho ghost. It will never be with any new manager except that it comes from a Chelsea old boy. We would support them and give them more slack then any other manager. I sure would love to see this. And heck, look at how much Roman spends on sacking manager? Close to 100 mill pound, surely this alternative is cheaper.

A job for Rob Di Matteo has instilled a 'warm feeling' at Chelsea, says Ruud http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12379/7598106/A-job-for-Rob

Lamps - Experience is key http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7598887/ I said it before, it is a shame that Lampard loss some respect with the fans for his problem with AVB but he still is a legend for me. I don't see Lampard as a coach like Terry can be, but he also must be some sort of assistant to the team. Is the time for Chelsea players to managed Chelsea! Is happening with RDM, even though he was not part of the Roman revolution, but this should be the start.

Time for Terry Blues skipper is the perfect candidate to fill boss' chair, says Jeff Jeff Stelling Posted 15th March 2012 Chelsea are looking for a new permanent manager - and the obvious choice is right under their nose. John Terry was the reason the Blues were galvanised and unified against Napoli on Wednesday night and he could be the man to end the footballing form of Russian roulette that is the job of Chelsea boss. A lot of people were having fun on Twitter after the Champions League victory saying that John Terry has now played one and won one as Chelsea manager, and that he took himself off before the end of the game so he could have a look at things from the bench. However, Terry admitted last April that he would love to manage Chelsea one day - and I see very few reasons why he couldn't take over this summer. I know that, at 31 years of age, he is young - and, okay, Andre Villas-Boas wasn't a great advocate for youthful managers in his time at Stamford Bridge - but that's not necessarily a weakness. Kenny Dalglish was only 34 when he became player-manager at Liverpool in the '80s, Pep Guardiola was 37 when he started to manage Barcelona, while Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez took over sides in their early 30s; there is plenty to suggest it can work at the right club. I think Terry would have to begin as player-manager, because Chelsea can't really do without him on the pitch at the moment, but it's a role I think he could succeed in. He obviously has authority, and the ear of the squad, whether that be the experienced internationals or the junior stars at the club. He knows Chelsea's heritage having been there so long and I'm sure he'd have the backing of the owner, Roman Abramovich, with whom he is on first-name terms. Expectations I know Terry is not everyone's favourite and I know he rubs some people up the wrong way, but because of who he is, the epitome of Chelsea, there is a likelihood that he would be given something that few Blues managers are afforded - time. With what's happened in the Premier League this season, expectations have been lowered. If he took over before the next campaign, he wouldn't be expected to go out and win the league at the first attempt, which is what was anticipated under Carlo Ancelotti and Villas-Boas. He's a natural leader, as we've seen when he has dished out team talks before, during and after games, as well as in his exploits with England. That is precisely what Chelsea need and precisely what they didn't get from Villas-Boas. Terry would also be strong enough to say to the elder statesmen in the squad, the players that have been his team-mates for the best part of a decade, when they were no longer required - even though the performances of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard against Napoli suggested that day could still be a long way off. At the same time, there is no reason to suggest that Terry wouldn't be a technically-astute coach. He has enough footballing knowledge, if not the coaching badges, and I'm sure he has plenty of tactical nous. Terry would need an experienced right-hand man, in the way 31-year-old MK Dons manager Karl Robinson has the much-travelled John Gorman as his number two. Ray Wilkins, Gianfranco Zola or perhaps, Gianluca Vialli, would be very popular assistant bosses and have the experience that Terry could lean on. Chelsea fans have been crying out for some stability and I think Terry could be the figure to give them that, and although he won't admit it openly, deep down Terry is probably thinking the same thing.

I think Terry should be our first player to coach under the Roman era. RDM should continue coaching Chelsea, and Terry to come in as assistant in a season or two so he can learn till he is ready to fill the role. In 5 years time Terry should be the manager of Chelsea. He commands the respect of the players and the club. He knows what Chelsea needs, but he won't be able to do it alone which is why people like RDM, Zola and such must be with him. Is time we stop going about all these exotic managers, (like me with Bielsa ) and bring back the player to coach back at Chelsea. It was a great hit under Bates, it surely can be done again!
