No. No. No. Swap Isco for Pogba, switch the formation to 4-3-3 and we're set.

Ran out of patience already, eh?

Maybe this time, Fabregas will turn up post-Christmas instead.

Jose Mourinho warned John Terry over first team place a week before trip to Manchester City Mourinho was apparently not happy with Terry's performance against Swansea but on the other hand, he is happy with Ivanovic's performance...

It was a tight decision, marginal at best. Ramires' head or body wasn't exactly sticking out into a clear offside position. Linesman should have just given us the advantage.

Five reasons to explain Chelsea’s slow start to the Premier League I saw someone asked in this thread (if I remember correctly) if a personal issue is affecting Mourinho's mood and the Guardian link above mentioned that his father is having a serious illness at the moment (although obviously that can't be used as an excuse for the nonsense he's doing right now).

Sarcasm much? The only reason I can think why the linesman raised the offside flag was because he couldn't see Sagna clearly on the far side with one of our players nearby him.

He's now fully infected with the 'Chelsea Rubbish Set Piece' syndrome. Our set pieces are so tragic and infuriating.

He looked in line with Sagna's foot in that image. It was a marginal decision and when face with a 50-50 scenario, the linesman should really give the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team.

Never mind Aguero and/or South American players, any striker with a half-decent pace and trickery is enough to give Cahill nightmares. Have seen him struggle against lesser strikers for England when they played the likes of Slovenia, Estonia, Moldova etc.

We know that is BS, given Mourinho's love affair with Ivanovic. Like TheChels pointed out in the previous page, he said the same thing last season when we had Luis but he didn't drop Ivanovic and play Luis and Azpi as FBs even though Ivan had a couple of shocking performances. Only two things are going to prevent Mourinho from playing Ivanovic - Injury or Suspension.

Think that is pretty much clear with the Ivanovic situation. Mourinho has alienated a number of players that way, forcing them to leave and suspect more will follow them out of the door if nothing changes.

@The Skipper, going on a power trip eh? Warned someone the other day and now locking threads...

He had actually RTed a stat about himself.

Mourinho isn't just our manager but he's the report writer as well... http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/match-report--manchester-city-v-chelsea-.html

Fixed.

Erm, you might want to search the forum properly first before claiming that thread has been closed...

As a result of that, the move might mean Isco is available and Juventus are looking to pounce - http://as.com/diarioas/2015/08/17/english/1439763920_570274.html

Nope. Sometimes you play two away or two home matches in a row. The Premier League isn't like the other European leagues.

What a nonsense thread. Yes, Mourinho has his flaws and he (really) needs to work on them but people are acting as if he's the worst manager in the world, the only one with weaknesses etc and the others Klopp, Guardiola, Simeone are perfect. They too have their flaws (e.g. Guardiola too obsessive with possession football, tinkering with the squad) and whoever our next manager will be, someone will create a thread like this because they don't like (or hate) something about the manager.

Why bother? By then, we would have signed Stones, Pogba and Griezmann.

I did but I'm not too worried (not yet anyway).

Gosh, you worry too much Pizy!
