Fernando

I want to see what he will do if Terry is fit for the weekend. Because David luiz is far better then cahill but it will be a shame if he goes back to the same back 4.

Roman Abramovich did not hold late-night Chelsea talks after Liverpool loss - Sky sources http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10586046/roman-abramovich-did-not-hold-late-night-chelsea-talks-after-liverpool-loss-sky-sources

Most people are bother by KDB leaving because he was hardly giving a chance. Courtois on the other hand has been giving a chance but he seems not to care about being here. So if he leaves, regardless if he does good it won't be much of a bother like KDB. Why? Because we gave him time to play with us and his attitude towards the club stunk.

It would be interesting if indeed we finish once again outside of the top 4. Because I would like to see what the club would do. They already screw up this summer again knowing we was crap last season and doing much of nothing. Will they do the same next season?

Nothing wrong with what he said. He said the truth, he liked Madrid better then here and who wouldn't. He said that in his final year of his contract he will asses his future. So nothing about leaving as a player, without a doubt after he's done with futbol he will return and retire there. That is the vibe I'm getting from those comments.

If they sack Conte I will lose all hope on this club being a dominant force again. We will just go to mediocrity and that is what it will be. It was fun while it lasted.

Because you fools didn't spend on the players Conte wanted. Instead end up spending like 50 million on mediocre players like David luiz and Alonso..... Would have been better if they spend on the players Conte asked for.

Apparently he signed a contract extension.....

Conte is a step up to Mourinho and the best choice available out there that would accept us under the circumstances.

Even if he would to get the sack I think some teams will still want him like maybe PSG? Anyways too early, things can easily turn around for him at United.

I think it's more because of your attitude. Very arrogant and such. Talked down on a lot of people. Like we know Wenger is crap but you just don't say straight out and call him a specialist in failure. Lol If he was more loving like carlo, people would loved him and admired him. Now it's just only a few like that German guy. 😅

I think Rooney might be their Ivanovic. No matter how crappy he is Mourinho will never drop him. 😂

Think might be the system. United right now are just like us, no creativity. Well they got Mata in now, but it seems like us. They don't want to start with Mata and us without Fabregas.

Well that's my original point, even if we have the team to be attacking Conte is not in the class of pep and klopp. We will not be that attacking. It seems like Conte is more like simeone. Have some attacking skills but more of a balanced side. I doubt we will see insane attacking like with Liverpool or city. And we just need to see how that balanced team comes about late down the season. Remember he said he wanted to play matic, Oscar and Kante for balance. He is not talking about attacking here....

The whole point is that he needs time. Now klopp is different because he's more attacking. Conte juventus was nowhere like the, so they are different in class in that style. But the point is still that it took klopp about a season to implement his style. We will wait for the same for conte. After that then we can judge better.

Those who where calling Klopp better then Conte you fail to realize that last season Klopp wasn't that good either at the beginning. Took nearly a season for Klopp to get his idea into the team. I expect the same with Conte, I figure that by February/March we will start seeing the real deal. Right now too early, and do hope that the club backs him in the January transfer window.

Good I hope they continue their crap. Better for us since we will competing for a champion league place with them.

They are setting up like us, no creativity in the midfield.

Kevin De Bruyne's form an embarrassment for Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, says Sunday Supplement panel Kevin De Bruyne's superb form for Manchester City is an "embarrassment and a nightmare" for both Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, according to the Sunday Supplement panel. Chelsea, under Mourinho, sold the Belgium international for £18m to Wolfsburg in January 2014 with De Bruyne having made only eight appearances for the Blues. But after being named German Footballer of the Year in his first full season at the Volkswagen Arena, City brought him back to the Premier League for a club record fee of £54.5m in the summer of 2015. Last season, De Bruyne scored 16 goals in all competitions for City in a campaign blighted by injury but it's his form under new boss Pep Guardiola,who said the Belgian is on a level behind only Lionel Messi after he starred in Saturday's 4-0 win over Bournemouth, that has taken all the headlines so far this term. And the Daily Telegraph's Matt Law thinks De Bruyne's Chelsea departure shows some of the flaws in Mourinho's management style. "It's a nightmare for Chelsea," Law told the Sunday Supplement. "He made eight appearances for Chelsea, not starts just appearances. "It's an embarrassing situation for Chelsea but I think it does lay at Mourinho's door. It shows his flaw with young players and managing situations in that he couldn't manage the situation to a point where he could show De Bruyne that there could be a place for him in that team. "Mourinho claims that he told the board he wanted to keep him and did not want to sell him, but the lad himself had decided he needed to play and that he wanted to go. He made it clear there was no stopping him. "He [Mourinho] questioned his mentality once he'd gone and said he didn't want to fight for a place, he just wanted to be given a place and that's been made a mockery of since. "When he did play in his few appearances for Chelsea he was stuck out on the wing. He was a young kid and his physique wasn't quite what it is now, but since it has been shown he's far better centrally. Law added: "If you think as well, Mourinho was hailed at the time for that bit of business by some of us because he got rid of De Bruyne and with that money he brought in Nemanja Matic and the next season they won the league. That was seen as a key deal that one player out to get Matic in but long term it's an absolute disaster. "It must be awful for them watching what he's doing now and I just can't ever seeing Mourinho trusting to play a player like De Bruyne in the centre. He would now that he's proven but I don't think he would ever have trusted him as a kid to play in the centre in the role he really wanted to." De Bruyne has started the season in sparkling form, helping City, who sit top of the Premier League table, to five wins from their opening five games under Guardiola. The 25-year-old has scored two league goals and grabbed three assists playing in a central role under Guardiola and Law thinks the Spaniard has had a plan for De Bruyne for a while. "I'm pretty certain Guardiola had an input into his signing even though it was some time before the Spaniard officially came in," Law said. "I know people at City aren't going to be delighted with me saying that or people at Bayern Munich but I'm convinced that Guardiola had a say. "Looking at the way he's used him and the way he's hailed him, it looks like he's had a plan for him for a while." The Times' Oliver Kay also called the De Bruyne situation uncomfortable for both Chelsea and Mourinho, while the Daily Star's Jeremy Cross signalled former City boss Manuel Pellegrini out for praise after he signed the player from Wolfsburg. "It is embarrassing," Kay said. "It's embarrassing for Mourinho, it's embarrassing for Chelsea. I suppose if he was at any other club Chelsea could think of buying him back for three times more than they sold him for and do their usual buy-back policy. It's an uncomfortable situation for the club." And Cross told the Supplement: "Full credit to Pellegrini for signing him. They spent a lot of money on him but he saw in the player what Mourinho missed." http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10583414/kevin-de-bruynes-form-an-embarrassment-for-jose-mourinho-and-chelsea-says-sunday-supplement-panel Like some people have said, had Mourinho gotten Messi when he was young he would have never made it with him....

Yeah won as in the past. And in the past capello, Benitez and such was good. But now they are past it.

Part of me is a bit relieved that all this happened under Mourinho. Because for many years no one can do better. The big shadow of Mourinho at the club was a bad thing for everyone. But after his second spell everything fell apart and now the club no longer has that shadow lingering around. Now it's more like as long as you don't do bad as Mourinho last season then you should be okay. With Mourinho we went from the sublime to the ridiculous. One extreme to another.

To me he was more like Gerrard, this is why I thought Liverpool would have tried to get kdb as a replacement of Gerrard. Oh well better at city then Liverpool.

Yeah he will leave this summer because the board are no longer showing ambition. I don't blame him. Despite not appearing last game I still like him and is a great player. But can't get the best with such crap the board keep buying us. He would have been better at City right now with Pep, KDB, and Kun.

And who do we have? I tell you that if this stupid board sack Conte for their failings then I will lose all hope in the club and expect us to go downhill from here on. Because you can't expect to get better results doing the same mistakes over and over again. Then I would just have to settle perpetually for mediocrity because that is what we will get from those that run the club.

Pretty much is the problem of the board. They have people that run the club better then ours. I don't know why Roman does not do a shakeup as well. For a second season in a role the club does a very poor job in the transfer window, yet they keep their job. I will admit that hiring Mourinho was a major problem that set us back as you can see. But they got rid of him and that's a start, but the making decision must also be restructured. Just like what happen at Juventus as well, they restructure their board and they are reaping the rewards. I thought they had learned their lesson from last season but they go and make the same mistakes this summer. It's not good, but hey they will put all the blame of the manager sack him and they continue there.
