Seeing Wilson having great debut, now I want to see Baker vs Cardiff even more!

Haha though Im realy curious what realy happened there...Real board was certainly unhappy with Jose 'behaviour', but it seems most players still liked him, despite media reports. I remember media saying Jose and Ramos were hating each other but before Jose left, Ramos was crying in his arms...

Football is unpredictable as it can be and its unfair to say that Real is in final because of Carlo, but Jose should still reach final at least once in 3 attempts. I think besides having Bale, Carvajal (for some odd reason Jose didnt replace Arbeloa), Isco as new players, Carlo added calmness into the team, they look less nervous and handle things better. Also change of system into 4:3:3 was great for Di Maria and Modric revelation, also fixing problem of playing CR, Bale and Maria at same time. Deserves some credit for that IMO.

Our defending still has to improve, as long we play more open, we realy dont look like best defence in world. The thing is in best CBs who average 2.5 tackles per game and 2.5 interceptions (roughly), while our CBs Terry and Cahill average just 1 tackle and 1 interception.

If that fine will actualy force Psg to sell first and then buy, I can see small chance if we offer 60m plus...Im sure they will first offload Pastore, Menez, Lavezzi? if required, but they have Ibra and Cavani might not want to play another year on wing... Its either Cavani, Costa or anyone else, as long he solves our striker problems and Im happy.

We have plenty of great talent too, Its our fault if we cant integrate them into first team.

Well he didnt bite you And yesterday he didnt play against us and had no connection with us (we were already out of race). I think its alright to make joke about him in this case, karma is a bitch after all...but keep certain level of respect still.

Clever Platini (or Blatter?) is clever...its legal way how to get money from rich lol.

Yeah but the point is everyone should respect each other...If their fans have low level of inteligence, dont try to follow them... I would only care if WE were involved in this game...If they defeated us, I would be pissed on them, if we would win, I would cheer for us. But when some other team plays with another, that has nothing to do with Chelsea, I dont see point in mocking them...Its just level of stupidity, grow up and respect others. What the fuck have they (pool players) done to you? Even players themselves respect each other (in most cases), but fans often like to provoke. People always talk ''positive football'' but in next sentence, they blast opponent just for fun... I would understand if we were still in title race, then I would be extremely happy for Lpool losing, but in this case, I dont have any reason to mock them. After all, they finished season above. The reason why people mock them on this forum is because no one has smarter work to do and as sometimes its funny, people take it too seriously. Being Chelsea fan and all, I dont want Lpool to win league, or even us, but one has to admit they had great season, and I wait the day when fans and media around the world will cheer and respect us as they respect Lpool (or any other top team like Barca, Bayern, United, Bvb, atletico...) and the day we will play football where we would literaly blow away all opponents from competiton (instead of having these tight 2:1 or 1:0 games where you can get heartattack every time watching us ).

Man...Mou and Suarez. It would be match made in heaven. Top striker, PL proven. Can do anything. But I feel even if we offer 80m and pool accepts, Suarez wont come here. If anywhere, its Real.

Sure, I was just pointing most important things. We already plenty of shots this year. If we can improve the shooting, we will score and win more. There were games where we couldnt break opponent. With versatility we will do that and w will win more games. But for that we need few new players, current players to improve and more team work in team when going into attack (we were pretty solid in defending already). However pressing, they way Bvb or Atletico does, is something you dont 'learn' in year or two. It takes years of adjusting, team work etc. It also requires special type of players and very good understanding in the team. There is reason why two "outsiders" got similar tactcs. They have strong mentality, they are not superstars, they would die to win those games. And they dont have such pressure when playing; team like Chelsea has extremely big pressure I feel (just compare lpool and our strikers; they play for fun, while here, everyone is afraid of failing).

I understand its fucking liverpool and Suarez being cunt and all in the past, but is it realy required to post that shit as response to professional player crying? He showed passion, he was one of best players for pool, giving all every game. I would kill for striker like him, passionate and world class. You can tell me that im defending lpool, but its football, where you enjoy in wins and respect opponent. No need to be dick when someone cries after game that resulted in losing title after having great season.

I understand its fucking liverpool and Suarez being cunt and all in the past, but

In ideal world Jose should replace unfit Mata with fit same quality player. Mata was sold because he didnt fit in, but that doesnt change fact that we lost best player. We lost quality and it should be replaced with someone equal quality that fits the system.

Two things that have to improve Finishing (mostly players fault, partly Mou for not improving, motivating) Versatility (mostlycMou fault, partly players for lack of dynamism) Fix that and we are almost there.

Our stats are also bellow level (the likes of United, City, Everton, Lpool,...) have better passing and ball possession. I know we play counter football, based on defending, which results in passing acc. and ball possession, but those are basic things. Passing, keeping the ball. You improve that and you get more options how to play the game, how to score...but not to go too far with that, think tikitaka, which results in passive attacking, leading to less efficiency. But imo our finishing is number one thing to improve. We are horible. We had more shots on goal than City, yet we scored 30! goals less. Talking about efficiency and chance conversion. Its terrible here.

If Jose meant seriously that he wants a striker similar to his describtion (can create, can score etc.), he will pay as much as required to get such striker. And such striker isnt cheap.. I can see him splasing big money, but question is of any of such strikers will move (Cavani, Suarez, Benzema,...)

We all expect (and hope) Mou will buy LB, CM and striker (all top level, I guess). But Mou could do a masterstroke, bringing just two world class strikers. Lets imagine Costa and Benzema/Cavani. And no one else. Money wise, that would be possible. With the sales of deadwood etc. But willl Psg/Real sell...thats different fact. Anyway, Mou could put all apples into one basket and pick two world class strikers. Im sure everyone would prefer CM and LB too, but lets say Mou gets strikers only. And then all the questions is he mad and how bad is our midfield etc...maybe its just two world class strikers that we need. If Mou pulls something crazy like that and goes on winning league, with improved Ramires in pivot, I think that would be pretty epic. We seem to have soo many problems, maybe we only need couple of realy good strikers. I would prefer CM too, but its up to Mou who will he buy with available money.

Well on whoscored we are not even in top 5, in terms of ball posesion. Am I missing sth?

Baker.

Made LB position his own. Absolutely world class player and one of legends of Chelsea. Its been pleasure to watch Ash all these years in Chelsea kit, if he leaves; thank you for everything. If he stays, a new LB can learn a lot from him. Shaw would be proper replacement long term. One of few who actualy played today and showed respect to the club. Thats difference between these legends and new players. 33 y.o. who won everything gives all even in such game, with little importance. Then you see some new players who dont give two fucks about result, just waiting for the plane to brazil...

I dont mind losing or drawing games in end of this season, but Jose and players fighting can damage the club...thing is Jose always blames players after defeats and that is bad for relationships. Even if nothing real, I dont want Jose-players fallout like in Real. It hurts preseason and next season. It forces unplaned transfers (hazard?) and damages team progress. Jose should admit he got partly wrong. That happens when you telling your attackers to defend whole season. Then eventualy someone will get pissed. They are not defenders after all.

If there is any truth in that...about Jose saying to Matic he had doubts about bringing him back...thats just harsh and no wonder our players lose balls and cant deliver shit if jose treats them that way... Its probably just BS but I hate this stories about our club and Jose-player hating.

Wont play because he has to keep himself healthy for wc? Passion to the club my ass. If he is truly injured, my bad, but I think kid isnt mentaly with club for quite some time... He is good player, no doubt. But he must be much better next season if he wants to be our #10.

Mourinho should actualy say tomorrow that he is partly guilty for such season too. Always blaming players, no striker, no goals, no tracking... I mean, Hazard is fucking winger. Yes he should track, but he cant be only excuse for that defeat...Jose should say "there were mistakes by me and team", not "Hazard isnt 100% in the game"... Even Guardiola, Martino admited they made mistakes and will have to do something about it.. Lets face it. Every manager in the world can say; I dont expect trophies this season, but next one. Or "we are small team, there are bigger ones out there"...thing is I didnt expect Jose to go this far in CL, but I expected at least 2nd place (not much diff between 2 and 3 but still). Only City has better team than us. As things went on this season, we had clear path to win the title. But players failed and so did Jose. If it is the players that are shit, why cant Jose motivate them? If there is no striker, why didnt Jose bought one in summer? Finaly, this season we had plenty of shit games against small teams. We have team that MUST beat such relegation teams with or without striker. Sure, there will be defeats/draws, but generaly, we should beat small teams. Jose saw problems against Villa, saw them against Wba and Whu. What did he do? Nothing. Same players, same formation, same headless attack etc....after all those games, Jose couldnt find way vs Norwich? After like, 10 similar games, where we couldnt break opponent, jose still couldnt find a way? And thinking striker will come next season and bang 3 goals every game, saving our ass? Yeah right... I think either we will get proper players, pass the world cup, leave that behind and truly focus on next season. Result will be winning premier league in style. Or Jose will somehow lose it and we will have another average season. Im not blaming Mou, Im just pointing problems he has to solve. As great manager he is, he shoould fix them. Right?
