I dont want to blame mourinho, Im saying its not first time that he said something that wasnt true. He also said that Lukaku will stay, that Kdb will be given lot of chances etc. He is great coach, but is using risky tactics that could result in our players leaving. Read first post and your reply on that and you will see you mixed couple of things with my older posts that had nothing in common with that one. If you didnt understand; Mou makes decisions that wil either make this team superb, hard working and motivated or it will bounce in opppsite way; players will leave. One thing you got right that if Bertrand got injured he couldnt play, I agree on that. I put opinion and you put everything I said in denial, based on older posts of mine and stuff you read from news etc. Dont get too much into media, its the lies they make keep them running. Now leave it as it is...

My point was actualy about Luiz and Hazard. I only mentioned Mata because he is in same situation aswell.Thing is that we saw Messi play bad. Was he benched? We saw Ribery play inconsistently years ago, was he benched? We saw Rvp play average in the begining, was he benched after bad performance? Such players must be given play time, they were all in bad times, but THEY HAD TRUST FROM COACH. here, you play bad and you dont play next time...as I said, this tactic will either be good and players will learn discipline or they will become unhappy and leave. No matter how bad you play, Hazard is type of player who needs play time ahead of anything else. He is young and cant be benched. Besides, I see that he missed training? YEAH because media is so reliable...because Mourinho is most honest man right? He is playing mind tricks and people still believe everything he says? And so apropriate Hazard missed trainig after bad performance and with high chance that he will be dropped. Perfect excuse for Mourinho to keep him out of team that could be. You say punishment must be made for Hazard? Will he realy *change* after one missed game? Right... And yes, Hazard is known to be late starter, but he played better last year in first PL season than now. Luiz was always mistake prone, but he was also something special when on ball. Now he is just mistake prone. You like Mourinho too much if you believe everything he does will result in perfection. He has his good and bad points aswell. I never mentioned that its Mou fault for bad players form, but his decisions to bench them all time will have either +/- result. But if he will keep doing this to our main players, we have no stability anyway. Every winning team has 11 players who play best. We have 23 players that only 2 are certain starters. And finaly, why is Hazard playing all time? Because we payed 35 mio for him, thats why. Because he is our biggest talent thats why. Because you dont bench 22yrs old player after poor game and put even more pressure on him thats why. Its not like Hazard would be fail or sth. He is massive talent and he proved it already. He is also inconsitent because he is young.

We all saw that Mourinho made Chelsea to win with any players on pitch, but so far he failed to make Chelsea be even better when we have all our top players in game. This is difference that will make us truly great or just where we are right now. Mourinho failed to make Eden, Luiz better players while I was hoping he will do exactly that in first place; making Luiz trustful CB and making Eden a class winger who will boost every game. Its still time for all that, but Mou is taking opposite way by benching them. If Mourinho made us play better as team, he didnt make any individual play better yet except Oscar and Terry. MAYBE Torres. Eden, Mata, Azpi, Luiz, KdB, I expected more from them realy.

Unfortunely, there arent many top full backs available and Mourinho will stick to Iva and Cole for some time...too bad Shaw is soo young and Azpilicueta looks like very good fullback but will never be on level of Alves or Cole (i hope Im wrong). Also Im curious why Mourinho never tried Luiz in midfield. If Luiz wont improve, Mou will never play him in CB position. Looks like Luiz loses his *extra talent* under Mou at CB. He is passive and lacks energy, doesnt realy run etc. He is orderer not to run forward and do tricks, making him average CB for us. I wonder why Is he so better for brazil...

If Hazard puts his shit together and starts his top creating/scoring/assisting skills regulary, then our attck will be all good. Willian on other wing will add danger from there and we are set. But i agree, Oscar does look jack of all trades but he is pretty average (to compare with other CAMs) in attack (vision, passing, through balls, lob passes etc)

Its always good to keep discipline and order, but this tactic is always super risky. Right now Mou is "playing" with Mata, Luiz and Hazard who were best players last season. Best. You dont just blame these players for having such poor games, but it also depends on coach. Mourinho will either suceed with these work hard and you will play or he will fail massively and we will lose Mata, Luiz and Hazard in summer because they will be unhappy. I feel Hazard is type of player that will fully star only if he is given all freedom and be key/main player of team. Lots of balls to him etc. Players like him do stuff in attack, but only learn defensive duties when older. Much like Ribery. If Mourinho will retrict Hazard role, he will be unhappy. There are also rumours about Luiz attitude and players are mad with him. Is that true? As much Mourinho wants to create team of eleven hard workers, he will also reduce potential of our young talents. But I have one thing to say if Mourinho will be putting Hazard or Luiz on bench all the time from now on, Im sure they will move to club where they will play all time. Mourinho will either make team realy strong or make half of our team unhappy. You just cant expect from someone like Hazard at his age when he wants to prove in pl by scoring goals, do fancy tricks and then tell him to track back like mad or mark players and stick back etc. He wont be happy bout this I feel. If he tracks back, he isnt in attacking position, he loses energy and most importantly over time he will get benched if he wont impress and lose all confidence. And funny that Mourinho doesnt give any chance to Bertrand at all, except that cup game...he was brilliant and yet, Mourinho decided to play Iva.

I realy liked him because of his fighting spirit and commitment to Chelsea, it looks like he doesnt care anymore. If that is the case, he can leave...

Get Pogba. Please.

He looks weak, I dont see him as being proper player for us to control the midfield. Looks weaker than Oscar or Mata...

There is no rises without falls, so...

Lars Bender extended contract, while Pogba also said that he will extend with juve. Not good for us, if they were in Mourinho's plans, they will cost much more then...

I kinda liked Nufc, their team did play good and had some top players like Ba, Tiote and Cabaye, but for past two seasons, money ruined that... Btw how is Tiote doing lately? As much I watched, he is far from that player he was in 2011/12...

Hope he gets enough chances. Thats all. Then lets see how he takes them, but as long he will play, he will have future here

I guess we will get someone but certainy not expensive...either Alonso who could be free or very cheap or someone not expensive maybe even loan... Mourinho loaned Adebayor in his first season in winter when he was at real, I feel he will do something similar this time aswell...not Adebayor but someone of that range (not necessary striker)

I must say I was wrong about him, he was incredible yesterday, but will have to play so well for a couple of times against different opposition to completely convince me.

His english is improving, but is still very raw. He cant lead our attack if he cant communicate properly. Soon as he learns, it will be much better for him

Imbula wont develop here anyway. Currently he is little too young and unexperienced to have such important role as holding mid in our team. Especialy Mou wants more mature players who have experience. Imbula might play several games and impress, but he will be nowhere near that level here atm. Hazard was ligue best player and he still isnt half as good and influental as he was there (he is great here, but he was beast in france). That is because he isnt old enough to take that much responsibility at our club yet. Same would be with Imbula. If we buy him now and keep Lamps for another season and also Alonso, he would sit on bench most of time, because Mou prefers older players. Imbula wouldnt develop here by sitting on bench and eventualy lose his touch or simply leave. Even if we dont get Alonso, I dont think Mou would risk with such young player in important position. Azpi is good example, he is very good but Mou prefers Iva due to his age and experience.

Well he is option should Lewa go to Bayern. Im not sure why would we pay huge for striker, It might not work (again), while Mario would cost less. If Mou actualy gets him, I trust him so why not...

Isnt Imbula just a DM? Does he posses any long passing or creativity? Because Rambo-Imbula would be strong pivot but little creativity from deep Also he is very unexperienced and I would want someone calm and experienced to play in our pivot. Someone who can control tempo and create chances for strikers...

I think pair of Terry and Ricky in general was superb, one of best ever, credit goes to Cech aswell and there was Cole at his prime, one of best full backs of last ten years...god we were so lucky to see them all play for us.

Who cares if Hazard is top 23 or not...as long he performs here, I will be just happy.

Kompany is brilliant but he will never leave City to another pl team...one of few city players that is actualy loyal.

Guy is 187cm and 84kg, thats skinny?

I think in second game, he played together with Modric and then was replaced with Khedira in the end, the game of Madrid got much better after that with Khedira-Modric for last 10/15mins. Alonso looked very tired in that game...So yeah he would be awesome short term option (he is also cool lad) but then what? We would need to rebuild core of team again with someone new. I dont know, if Mou wants him, Im all for it, but its not necessary to work perfectly similar to Etoo case... --- Still Xabi said many times he is happy in Madrid and wouldnt want to return to PL, if he had to it would be Lpool, I just dont see him coming here, but then again, Pirlo went from milan to Juve too...and Mou is good pal with Xabi (werent they together in summer match between Chelsea and Real Madrid in America tour?)

Well, you have plenty of options nowdays, brazil is finaly looking like good old brazil Except for striker, you have big names like Pato, Damiao or Fred but they are all just above average. However as long it works for you, thats great. As for Costa, he would fit good in your team, but my opinion on all this is that Felipe called him back then for those friendlies and then just forget about him during Conf cup and brought Fred and Jo(?!) instead. Its not like they would be world class, while Costs was actualy inform. Anyway then Spain showed up with interest and Brazil did right after just because of spain. So I see no reason why should you guys be pissed about Costa, its Brazil NT fault to not call him earlier. I wont ever get why Felipe calls up many relatively unknown brasil serie a players (that dont even play much once they get call), but he leaves the likes of Willian, Fernandinho, Costa or even Felipe Luis or Hulk wait so long to get call.
