Just like he was with mata? Are you serious? He was delusional thinking we could do good with out mata. But mata showed him wrong as most fans thought as well.

Meanwhile, Mourinho has challenged Kevin de Bruyne to follow Juan Mata's example in a bid to win back his place in his plans. De Bruyne was left out of the squad for the midweek UEFA Champions League win at Steaua Bucharest with Mourinho unhappy with the Belgian's performances in games and training. Mata has only recently been restored to the starting XI and Mourinho believes De Bruyne should take inspiration from the Spaniard. "Juan was in a difficult situation and he managed to understand what we need from him and he played consecutively three good games, Swindon, Tottenham and Steaua," added Mourinho. "The kid Kevin, he has to work. He has to come in my direction. I will go in his direction too. "He's a very good player, his time will come."

Video link to the press, please? Thank you.

He played in the EL for PSV. I heard we have a buy back clause for this guy? Interesting if true. The only player we sold that has been good is Sturridge, after that no one has been good enough....well forgot Matic! But lets see if this kid can turn it up in the coming season.

So the debate between who is better number 10. Well on Tuesday we saw how these two can play together. However do you realistically see them both playing together when we play say Bayern, Real Madrid and such? I'm not sure, and I think Mourinho will go for Oscar as his main man for such a game.

Transfer news: Werder Bremen offer escape route for Chelsea misfit Kevin De Bruyne http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8952488/transfer-news-werder-bremen-offer-escape-route-for-chelsea-misfit-kevin-de-bruyne

You Belgium fans are going overboard! The manager is doing a good job. He makes mistakes and he acknowledges it. That for me is a mark of a great man. Your worried about KDB we get it, but the boy has to work hard. If he is going to sit and cry about it not getting time then he ain't going to get anywhere. The competition is tough and you have to train hard and take your chances when giving. Look at Schurrle, a lot of people writing him of as a waste of money. But the boy stuck in there work hard and slowly but surely is impressing the manager and now the fans. KDB must also do the same.

Uhmm wrong schurrle is an emanolo and company buy. Further proof that our board and staff are doing the right job regardless of who was and is the manager.

He should as hazard has been piss poor as of late.I have and I'm sure a lot have been calling for hazard to be dropped like mata.

His best game at Chelsea. And so far doing better job then hazard! Definitely needs to take hazard spot till hazard picks up his game after he comes back from his injury.

Alright! I'm getting a good vibe from Torres. I really think we will see a better him this season. And let's not forget that he keeps scoring goals in high profile game. With out a doubt number one striker right now.

It's funny cause he blames Mourinho for the problem while at United he blames the player. WTF is that all about? Double standard me thinks. Not worth paying attention. I much rather analyse this article from that site: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/lukaku-loan-highlights-deep-flaws-chelsea-youth-policy-114259401.html

Hehe I remember dreaming about that when we first got lukaku. But dream died as the club sold Danny. :-(

You took only one part to argue about something I didn't say?Of course is going to sound bad as you only took that part and took it out of context.

True and those players that stuck and worked hard generally tend to have a great attitude. Drogba was always a guy we would rely on, Lampard a legend, and Terry has been a rock for over a decade. Heck even Cole was always praised by many managers that he was a hard worker in the training sessions. Cause they know that if they train hard and do right on the field they will continue to be the guys that always play. At Madrid when Mourinho started to bench some under performing stars, they went and bitch and moan to the press. And I clearly remember Mourinho stating this when Mata did good against Spur. That that's the attitude he wants to see. Go train hard and then show him in the pitch that he was wrong. Not go behind his back and cause a bad atmosphere.

Weak character. Don't need fragile boys in our team. Need tough steel men like Lampard. I think every manager that has coached here since Lampard has been at the club has always praise Lampard attitude in training. A hard worker, one of the first to come and one of the last to leave a training session. If kids think they can have a free ride their kidding themselves. We work hard and play hard!

I do feel like this Bushman is a troll. Tries to be in every conversation, trying to start some type of argument and trying to be funny. Not a cool dude!

Well if he is sucking in training then that's he's own fault not the coach. You suppose to do good in training and then impress in the field. Which kdb has done neither of those!

Urban Dictionary: Blow: A common slang word for cocaine. Example: I'm going to waste my paycheck on hookers and blow.

I'm still amazed how someone can still claim that KDB is better then Oscar..... Seriously Belgium fans lay of the blow!

It looks like he will get a ban. And how bad for him as he was getting in form. This will set him back and then eto'o might pick up and get his spot! Truly unlucky the guy.

Thanks, so a thread does exist! Nice.

I saw this article and thought was interesting and wanted to share it with you guys. I thought it merited it's own thread, unless one exist, about what's next after goal line technology! The Premier League has enthusiastically embraced goal-line technology this season. Never again will there be a goal disallowed - or a phantom goal given - for a ball incorrectly judged to be crossing or not crossing the line.Trouble is, those sorts of decisions are only really relevant a couple of times a season. It's unusual enough for balls to bounce down onto the line as it is, but incredibly rare for those instances to be the difference between winning and losing. The hoopla surrounding the technology is little short of a joke. And an incident from Liverpool's clash with Sunderland on Sunday afternoon only served to highlight why the newly-ushered in technology is woefully short of what is actually required.Liverpool opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Daniel Sturridge headed home from inside the box. The only trouble was, the England striker completely missed the ball with his head and only directed the ball into the net via a deflection off his right elbow.We're not for one second suggesting that Sturridge did it on purpose (though he was pretty shameless in celebrating his "header"). It was more one of those fortunate accidents for the striker, a bit of rub of the green that he got away with, and as he collected his Man of the Match champagne he openly admitted what had happened.Furthermore, as far as we can tell, there's no reason to blame referee or linesman either: from the angles of where people were standing, it's reasonable to conclude that all were unsighted - and the incident happened at such high speed that it seemed to all the world as if a legitimate goal had been scored.Yet as the GIF clip on this page shows, there is no way in the world the goal should have stood.The goal proved critical: Liverpool would later lead 2-0 as Luis Suarez scored soon after, but Sunderland pulled one back to get it to 2-1 and looked in great form thereafter. The Black Cats were bitterly unlucky to concede a third and lose 3-1, with the final goal coming only as the home side were forced to push forward, thus leaving huge gaps at the back.Supposedly stuffy and traditional sports such as rugby, cricket and tennis have adopted proper technology to allow officials to make informed decisions. So why is football still lagging behind?The argument against is that a constant flow of appeals would slow the game down, but these days the technology is so fast that the delay would likely be no more than ten seconds.Fair enough: don't disrupt open play without good reason. Surely, however, it's reasonable to double-check goals that are either scored or disallowed? That could be done as a matter of course and with minimal fuss by the fourth official, and would almost certainly be over before the celebrations (or remonstrations to the referee) had been completed. To all intents and purposes, the double-check via video replay would be invisible to the fans.FIFA wanted to keep the game pure and free of technology for as long as possible. Fair enough, if that's your thing. But now that the genie is out of the bottle, why not implement technology properly and in a manner that is actually useful on a game-by-game basis, not simply a safety net to stop the once-a-season freak occurrence?Until that's done, the much-talked-about technology that has been brought into the game will be an embarrassment merely by virtue of its limitations. As any Sunderland fan will tell you. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/early-doors/sturridge-handball-goal-proves-technology-actually-useful-163408046.html--------------------Thoughts and reaction on what people think the next step is? Is goal line technology just enough or more needs to be done?

hehehe some idiot chanted for Pellegrini!

Yeah sorry about that.
