I think Mourinho likes to play Liverpool. So hopefully it's a good match.

Yeah look at how Mourinho handle KDB. It's fair to say if he had Messi when younger he wouldn't have made it. So all that talk about Pep having that good generation is hogwash. He brought the best of those players and push them to the next level.

Very good seats my friend.

What he did at those teams just makes me wonder if he had bigger resources how he would fare? Like someone said that Mourinho has big money in his squad that managed closed to 1 billion. I wonder how Bielsa would have done in a matter of 10 years with that amount? I guess Barcelona are that, since Pep is a big admired of Bielsa as well. He learned a lot from him.....amazingly Poch is also from the school. But Pochetino seems the most balance out all of them. Does not have a super obsessive view with attacking futbol as you mentioned. Anyhow they still produced some memorable games that you never forget. Like I remember the game Bilbao played against United in the EL back then. It was a thing of beauty.

Bielsa but only during the interim spell as I admit that guy is too crazy for our board. If Mourinho is crazy with his ego and loses the dressing room, this guy just walks away for nothing after being mad at the board. Lol. And nope not Sampaoli because we already been there with Scolari. Sampaoli needs to show himself first like he is doing at Sevilla before taking any consideration on him. Now if I owned the club I would have gotten Bielsa and given him total control like Wenger. But for our club we can't do that and thus managers like Conte are the best option.

I think the best thing about him as to opposed to Mourinho is that he puts his words into action. He doesn't show favoritism and really does gives chances to those people that show it. And Moses is a perfect example about that. I still believe he is the best choice we could have gotten bar Simeone to go forward as a club.

Yeah good about Fabregas. What about Oscar? He realized about him too? Or he's just injured or something like that? Last I also liked that mikel nowhere near and Ivanovic finally been bench.... Or at least I hope so and it's not just because of injuries.

I don't think we can win, maybe tie or lose. Sorry but I don't have that high confidence for big games yet Even we are doing great against smaller team we need to show it for 90 minutes against the best.

Well to he honest he seems more settled. RLC still looks very lazying at times. Out of all the youth we play he is the one that has more of a calmer feel.

I was worried that Costa would get a yellow card. Good thing he didn't get one as it would have been a blunder that could have been prevented by taking him out of the game. In fact I didn't understand the spat that Costa had with Conte there about substitution....

Take out Costa before he gets another yellow!!!

If Conte is very astute he will take our Costa right now and bring bats. 2 to 0 in the game the team should be able to close this down and save him for the next game. Because more then likely he can get a silly yellow and miss the next game. Show your intelligence Conte and do the smart play before the second half starts.

And that's what we expect of Conte at Chelsea. Conte created a great template at juventus and is one we liked to see here as well. It's what klopp is right now doing at Liverpool and did at Dortmund. These types of managers build something great that merits the time and support. That being said, besides Arsenal, city is the best place pep could have picked because of the board and owners. They are giving him free reign.

If Terry is still good for us at his age, then if we can get two good years from him while integrating younger players then cool.

Fabregas would be perfect for Serie A.

The thing is that we get a player like this that has one great season and hit their peek and keep them. Malouda was another case, one amazing season and instead of selling we keep such players on the books... If we want to challenge for cl again we need better. For now he's good, but also great that his playing to increase his value.

Good his doing this great, but we should sell him as soon as we can get an upgrade. Just like William you sell players that hit their peek.

I think my fears might be realized. And that was at the beginning of the season I thought Liverpool might win it because klopp is in his second season and he knows a bit more his team and the league. As to oppose to city and pep. I hope I'm wrong because I don't want to see Liverpool win it.

So we might have Abraham and Moses in the team. 😊

Merry to around would not be be bad if an average manager last 3 seasons. Can do a lot of damage in three seasons. Conte to me continues to show his good. Only reason to sack is if your bad and the only bad we had that merited short term sacking was Scolari and di Matteo. After that everyone should have had at least 3 years.

Hopefully he drops cahill with Terry back or when zouma is fit.... If he still got it.

Good feeling after seeing Ivanovic drop. Once Terrry is back without a doubt Cahill drop. But so far this is the best we can put out....sadly but that is what the board left us with.

Yeah but he wanted like 5 players in the summer after Kante and Bats. And the club didn't get anyone one except their choice at last minute window. He knew the team was crap but the club didn't do much.
