With Jose the club as a whole is going in a good direction, in 2 years maybe we could be as dominant as Bayern but only if we don't sell our top players. Mata can kiss goodbye to his starter days but I think he could still play a significant part in the club's success because although he isn't Mourinho's type of player, he is still top footballer and could win us many, many points if plan A is not working in a particular game.

He can do so much more with what he has, he seems afraid and lacks confidence and self-esteem. Every pass is backwards, never goes at players even tho he usually has plenty of opportunities to go 1v1. If we are to win the title Mourinho has to integrate him better because the difference right now between him and Mata and the elite squad (Oscar, Willian) is too big.

Chelsea's most complete player, 2 assists, 1 goal for 40 minutes, not to mention the usual godlike linkup play, pressing, tackles and duels won. I've always thought Mata was big fish in a small pond, especially last year. The team is much more gelled and competitive with Oscar. First half was last year's Chelsea with Mata and second half was this year's Chelsea with Oscar, the difference is obvious both in game play and points won.

Lol imagine if Pep really takes Brazil.World cup 2014 final - Brazil vs Spain, the biggest game in history.

Once again Ill say Iam little disappointed RDM wasn't here long enough for all to see this wasn't a "blip" but the guy was plainly clueless.It's ok however, Robbie still has good image, you still have your delusions and we have a 10x better manager and Iam happy with that.When I started watching football regularly, Chelsea already were bought by Roman and were already top team.The difference between new and old fans is that, the younger generation doesn't take fails as lightly as the old ones and there's nothing wrong with that as far as Iam concerned.Big teams always have fans who have big expectations.It's like in family, good parents are never happy unless the kid has straight 'A's.If they are happy then they'll trap the kid in the prison of mediocrity wich all you "old" Chelsea fans know too well.

Roman sacked RDM because, the later had no idea what to do with this squad.How can you have less possession with this squad against Liverpool, Swansea a teams average at best.It's not just the negative results but the negative play.For example the first game in this season (the Wigan game), I was clearly dissapointed even tho we won because we played like championship side and you can bet Roman was 3x more pissed off.

How am I supposed to answer you really.It's like when I was saying we are playing shit under RDM and someone asked me how would I change that.Sorry but iam no football manager and no Roman Abramovic.

As RyanDavidson said :" I'd rather the club won trophies and was recognized as a successful club than kept managers for 10 years. If anyone else would rather a manager in charge for 10 years and not as many trophies then they are fucking retarded. Also being honest, Robbie isn't as a great a manager as you think, he won us the CL which we are all grateful for but his tactical knowledge was useless, every team we've played, we've gave time and space on the ball this season. If some of the finishing was better, we'd be 7th or 8th not 3rd." If you want Robbie to stay and we play shit almost every game and at the end win 0 trophies, while we can sack him and with Benitez win trophies, then you are not Chelsea fan but Robbie fan and can fuck off.

Yes indeed Reus and Willian are playing better right now, but patience ! I would pick Hazard over them both any day of the week.RDM's deep defending was very dire for Hazard and I fully understand him, now let's see how we'll do under Rafa.RDM's tactics needed players that are clinical and that imo comes with maturing (Drogba).I don't expect at the age of 21 Hazard to be as clinical its virtually impossible.Look at Shakhtar and Dortmund, they create far more chances per game compred to us, if Hazard was in one of these teams, god help.

Don't want him back.

Well this may sound very. very crazy but : Benitez has no time to experiment, he's given 6 months and in that period he needs to WIN GAMES and fast.Anyone else thinking Sturridge reminds of young Torres when he came from Spain ? Rafa also had almost 2 years to analyze players and teams, won't be too surprising if he came to the conclusion that Torres is obviously quite past it.I wouldn't be surprised if Sturridge becomes our number 1 striker, atleast till January when a future Falcao deal looks inevitable. p.s. If Benitez is to stay he needs to do something marquee with the squad, example is RDM when changed Ramires and Mata's positions and that Bertrand starting in the CL final.

He's so much worse then Reus/Gotze.

If we finish third in the group, with Benitez and Falcao, we would probably just walk through UEL.I think with so many new players in this squad we need to win a cup or two to install the winning mentality the old guard had.

Chanting "RDM" is ok, the man deserves it.I just don't wanna hear fans booing Benitez.

After 3 years ( including Carlo's last season) we finally have a real manager and it didn't need much time for Fergie to start mind games.

In the end : who's done more for Chelsea ? Roman or Robbie ? Ahaha pretty obvious.Iam actually dissapointed RDM wasn't long enough here for all people to see how massively out of depth was he.

What Rafa said towards us, Chelsea fans was just business I believe, nothing personal.For example when I play football even just for fun, I always try to make other teams players ( even tho my best friends) play worse via psychological attacks.People need to stop acting like crybabies, especially 30+ years "grownups".

People laugh at this but .. Actually everything that he said was right.FA is Fergie..Ever wondered how united is always there with pretty shit squad tbh ..How they can't even get out of one of the easiest groups ever but still lost the PL only by goal difference ..It's pretty obvious, look at this season, we were top of the league playing them at home with chance to make 4 point gap, what happened?Everybody knows, we got burried by ref and look how the things turned out, before that game we were on fire, now we are in shambles.One ref decision sometimes makes the difference between winning PL or not and we all know to which direction these decisions are going when Fergie and Utd are involved.

Ridiculous thread.If you want to support mid-table team with "dignity" appointing only charismatic managers, well don't support Chelsea then.Some of our fans still have that mid-table team mentality, which is holding us back.Robbie's last Chelsea game was one of the worst performances I have ever seen Chelsea play and yet people are "shocked" and etc.., pathetic mid-table supporters.

As long as we are winning and playing good football I don't care even if Tony Adams is our manager.I want the best for this club and if appointing Rafa is the right thing he has my full backing.Robbie was not only sacked due to bad recent results but also because he failed to make our club play as Abramovic wants !He was massively out of his depth for this goal and was deservedly sacked.

Iam glad he is sacked, was obviously out of his depth.The first step in the right direction is done, now its time Pep to be announced as our new manager.

Agree, except RDM staying the whole season..If Pep is free and want's to come, RDM should go asap.. Obviously not the man for this squad and no transition will take place while we still play counter attacks.WHAT transition is that ? We played like that for like 10 years, what transition is Robbie doing, this isn't transition, just playing different players.You may had a Civic the previous year and drive it with 60 and now you may have Ferrari and still driving with 60.You have a faster car but you aren't faster driver.Imo with this squad RDM is as out of his depth as was AVB with last year's players.

Look what FT has done to this club ...Signing just above average striker like Huntelaar is considered "decent signing" ...

In the same sense Barca should stop playing Messi, Iniesta, Pedro, Alexis in a same game ..It's not the players its the coach.

Mazacar sounds dumb .. atleast for me.
