I hope Mourinho will make some changes in Sunday. We haven't seen Filipe, Rémy or Cuadrado for weeks, they definetly deserve a chance. My major concern is Costa.. He's been way too agressive this season but poor in goalscoring. He should have been sent off today again but didn't even have a nice shot. Maybe he should sit on the bench for a game or two to calm the fuck down.

José could be the best but I think he is going wrong way with his bus. We have top players for any single position but we play like a Championship team. Mourinho needs to braver and let his team attack - we have Hazard, Costa, Oscar, Fábregas, Willian etc. FFS. (also, I don't want Chelsea to sack Mourinho, I never wanted it for a second. I'm only saying it's not that obvious that he is better than Carlo)

Our matches are boring indeed. If we played like we should with players like Hazard it we could have fantastic matches against top teams. I'm not really angry because we didn't deserve to win and I don't want to see this Chelsea against Barca, Real or Bayern. Apply ourselves and win the PL but next year we have to play much much better in the CL.

Real didn't park the bus in Gelsenkirchen so 3-4 was enough.. We should have attack just a little bit more. Parking the bus with this squad just don't work and Mourinho doesn't seem to be that good in handling crisis now. We lost against Atleti last April, almost a year ago and it looks like we didn't improve since that.

Would it be cheap if I tried to restart this conversation now?

CL was just an example as I've already mentioned. I never said Carlo doesn't have weaknesses. He obviously has but it's ridiculous and too general to say "he can't handle crisis". I'm not saying Carlo is THE man and his carreer has been perfect. My point is that he trained many top teams and has won almost everything, he clearly has the abilites and the experience to build a strong team again in Madrid or at City. Opinions like @illmatc's are just ignorant and disrespectful. We shouldn't look down on Carlo because Real can easily defeat us this year, I'm not sure parking the bus would work against them.

Should I list every single trophy he has got? He kinda won everything. When did I say I only judge Carlo based on his CL-titles? It was just one example. That's what I mentioned earlier.. He is so underrated here.

He couldn't even prove it... We sacked him after one "bad" season(CL-quarterfinals, 2nd in the PL). Many player left and joined us after the 2009/10 season but Abramovich didn't let him build the new Chelsea. Real is having problems right now but they can still win LaLiga(1 point behind Barca) and the Champions League. They have only played a few bad matches, fans and media are making a big deal about it. @Adnane said Carlo can't handle crisis. I don't think it's right to say that to coach who has won the Champions League 3 times. That's it. Why do you mention Di Matteo? I don't get it. He is very young and inexperienced but I hope he'll have the chance to work for a top side again. He has "only" one CL-title though, Carlo has three and worked for several strong teams. It's pointless to compare them. I just don't get why isn't Carlo taken seriously while Mourinho is treated like a god.. Carlo's football is not less effective than Mourinho's, they are both top managers.

He has three Champions League titles which determines this is not true. Ancelotti's teams do have weaknesses but he kicked Europe's ass three times, it's a little harsh to say he can't handle crisis. Mourinho (the divine genius) has never even led Chelsea into the final.

Of course it's not his fault but if he was a player from United's academy noone would say he is underperforming. It doesn't mean he is a flop but fans and the media will put extra pressure on him because of his price tag.

People expect more from a 30 million player which is understandable.

He is unhappy with his role in Madrid and may leave them anyway but I don't think he would come here to sit on the bench.

He's been underperforming for United just like Falcao and Di Maria. United spent a fortune on them so this must be a huge disappointment for them.

City is rumoured to be interested in Aaron Cresswell. Damn, a few months ago they laghed at me when I said he would be a good backup for Azpi.. Awesome player.

Second.

God I love Zeman and his Yolo tactics That's his Roma:

Update: Parma recieved an emergency loan of 5 million Euros in order to finish this season in Serie A.

Croatia is EU-member state too but Croatian players still have problems with work permits. Kramaric had to wait for weeks to get his.

I agree. Also, Zouma had already played more than 70 matches for St. Étienne when we signed him and Ligue Une is a top championship. He had experience against world class players, he won a League Cup with his side.. Ruben have only played about 10 minutes of professional football so he needs to make a huge step.

Courtois was one of our best signings ever and we made a a lot of money by selling Lukaku and Kevin, so I'm in! I haven't seen this guy on the pitch yet but it's a nice first name he got. Sign him and that Mosquito kid

That's exactly why I can't see RLC playing for Chelsea regularly. We have Matic, Fábregas, Ramires and Obi, four great and experienced player.

We are talking about becoming a regular member of the team, not getting a few minutes. José was managing Real Madrid for three seasons. Jesé only played twice, Morata and Nacho made about 20 appearances during that period. This is far from being a regular IMO. I hope RLC's gonna make it here but I think it's understandable that I'm a little sceptical.

He pretty much said the same things about Chalobah in 2013. He said Nate would go on loan for one season then return to Chelsea. I'd love to see RLC playing regularly for Chelsea but the last youth player Mourinho built into the team was Santon at Inter.. José lies all the time

You are right but we should buy him as long as he is available and relatively cheap. Courtois had spent three years on loan before he joined our squad.

It was the right call not to name him against Spurs, he hasn't played in months. It was a cup final, the most important thing was not to concede goals and Zouma was the right man. Against West Ham, who knows? We need to attack and score goals against them. Zoma could be useless this time but it'd be also risky to play Oscar or Willian as a CM, so maybe this is his or RLCs big day.
