It's the current hot trend you know. The minute someone plays like crap, it's all 'Sell Player X. He's rubbish. Get Player Y. He's better!'. At this rate, we'll soon see Matic, Azpi etc joining the list...

Merged the thread with this one. Don't need to have two threads that is gonna basically discuss the same thing.

Could even throw in Bridget upfront while we're at it..

Thibaut Courtois close to extending Chelsea contract until 2018

This is a brilliant depiction of Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund..

Yeah. We do have a better GD; 20 better than theirs - 41 to 21 - but given our dodgy form/record against the lesser sides, I would not say it's a foregone conclusion just yet.

Oscar 'spoke about' PSG move recently

You know, title talks aside for one minute, we gotta make sure we don't mess things up any further if we are to ensure a Top 3 finish and not 4th. In case anyone haven't noticed, we are only 5 points ahead of Arsenal as it stands and our run-in is arguably just that bit tougher than theirs. Us - Liverpool(A), Norwich(H) and Cardiff(A) Arsenal - Newcastle(H), West Brom(H) and Norwich(A)

MOURINHO’S HOME UNBEATEN LEAGUE RUN – A STATISTICAL CELEBRATION

Nothing new. Mourinho has been sulky in his press conferences in past 1-2 months anyway. Just been made worse by what's happening on the pitch. Yes, Mourinho has confirmed Courtois can play against us.

Mourinho seems to have hinted that Torres will start tomorrow...

That kind of comment was so not needed.

And the minute Isco goes off form, there will be cries for 'Can we swap Isco for Player X?'...

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea lack 'desire' and Atletico Madrid want to exploit that in the Champions League, says midfielder Gabi

Perhaps so but then again, I don't think Mourinho is wrong either he made those sarcastic referee remarks on Saturday. The standard of refereeing in recent times have been abysmal and although Mourinho does seem to be selective as we do get our share of favorable decisions, it does feel like we have been getting the short end of the stick of late with referees. We got referees that made poor calls in our games but then other refs that do the opposite in Liverpool and City games.

True but don't think anyone is saying we would have magically won those games if Mata was around. It's just that he could have helped us made the difference by giving us something else offensively, much like how some have said that about Hazard. And I posted something about this point in another thread. Will just stick it here..

Don't visit it. Don't post in it. Simple.

Looking great against Sunderland and against a team like Atletico is two completely different thing altogether...

Yes, I know and I agree but only trying to look at both sides of the coin.

Who's Ramirez?

Yeah...then I'm sure people will still complain about his quietness and for not saying anything. People will always find fault with Mourinho, one way or another...

Agree. However, one cannot overlook the refereeing decisions as well, not just in our games but others as well, especially when there are so many poor decisions being made these days. If it's just one here, one there, then you can probably forgive it but given it has happened consistently, you can't really ignore them.
