It's all fine and dandy, but when Mourinho philosophy is of being a counter attacking team, then when a team that gives us the ball we have a hard time. You can criticize Ramires all you want, but its the philosophy that which we are setting up for that makes it hard when we are face in such a situation. This is why our defense must be really good, cause if we get a goal out of nowhere like we did with WBA we must be able to defend to the death.

Pretty interesting point here. I remember how many people where wanking of after David Luiz got here in that January transfer window. The honeymoon period....

He is just better in the midfield then cb. And he should play more in the mid, simple as that. The fact that he can play those double role like essien and ivan is great. Therefore I'm against selling him, as these versatile players are important to the team.

The way we where playing, there was no way we where going to score another goal. Even the goal that we made just came out of nowhere. However I do wish sometimes Mourinho would be more attack minded, but today we just didn't do much of anything from minute 1 to deserve a win. Team was just not in to it today.

Well David Luiz ain't the best defender. But It was our fault for not killing the game. Can't put all the blame on one guy.

Well when Mourinho brought on Mikel, we where defending that 1 to 0 scoreline. But the thing is that with David Luiz we should not defend a scoreline. Hopefully this is the last time we do that, because Luiz ain't as solid as Terry.

Total shit today. The draw was just for how woeful both teams played. Nothing to worry about, still many games left.

uhhmm it was the same from the first half. It was total shit today.

Well the team was mostly shit today as well. It happens, can't be amazing every game.

This what happens for trying to save the 1 to 0. Was coming.

Have to say, has been a very boring game. But at least we have not cross them to death.

Well KDB gone, and I bet Piazon as well. He is of the similar mold of KDB. Courtoius and Lukaku I'm not sure. The club and Mourinho have a tough call on Courtois cause Cech is still good, and goalkeepers can be good till their 40's.... For Lukaku, if the guy can accept to be 2nd or 3rd striker depends on who we keep and who we buy then good. If he wants the same amount of play time as Everton, then just like KDB and Mata he will be sold, sadly.

Pellegrini trying to turn back... Mourinho in truth is just trolling everyone, fans and managers keep falling for his words everytime. I think the media is the best tool for him as twitter is for trolls like piers Morgan. But the funny thing is that people continue to answer piers Morgan despite him trolling the users. Just like managers will fall into Mourinho comments.

Yeah well know that he see no chance with Everton as in the beginning when he said he would like to play cl with Everton if they qualified. He wants to know plea his case to mourinho. Let's see what he will do.

That must be an old quote cause it's mentioning KDB? Anyways, Piazon yeah even though he's doing good at Vitesse he is just too lightweight like KDB. Doesn't seem like a player that will fit to the profile of the team that Mourinho is trying to build.

You should be a journalist so you can ask questions to Mourinho.

Did he on purpose forgot to add Kurt zouma to the list? Or he don't count right now cause he's on loan?

Why? I'm not the only saying that players like his talent tend to do a Ronaldo and say they always dream of playing for real Madrid. Real Madrid is real Madrid, and when they come calling they turn players head.

Well what are the stats of Pep team vs Mourinho team head to head statistics? And that should give you a clue.

hmmmm I imagine Ronalda would love to see that!

I don't know about you guys, but it still has not hit me. How last season we barely made it to top 4, how we crash out of CL then had to contend with the EL and how we had to put up with a manager most Chelsea fans hated. Then to how this season everything now looks promising with Mourinho and us in first place. It still has not hit me, and probably won't for another season or so. But all I can say is THANK YOU IKER CASILLAS!!!!! For if it wasn't for him turning the team against him, Mourinho would have never been here. So Iker you are my hero! I would love to play Real Madrid to show them what they are missing! :blue scalf:

Top of the league, all this with not so great strikers. Amazing!

Still behind Ronalda for me.

100 million player now? Real Madrid do tend to bid big and turn players head. But we have good finances and a good coach. However if someone comes with a bid similar paid to bale you have to think twice about it.

I remember last season and at the beginning of this season when I used to complain about his crossing. It was a waste because our players are small. So it's good that he has changed this and now play low passes as the one he just did.
