Players like Paulinho or Khedira are what Jose is looking for not players like Rakitic or Kroos.

Lol you don't understand the point i was making. please explain how the team is more unbalanced now??? and please explain how its easy to park the bus, when 90% of teams do it against Barca and Bayern and fail! or is it just easy for us to play that way, or are you just copying Rodgers pathetic comments after we beat Liverpool?

not really! being terrified of Man City under Rafa wasn't very exciting all! if you cant see how Jose spent the first 6 months of the season cleaning up Rafa's mess then i really dont know what more to say.

So you judge success only on trophies won? So you don't take In To consideration things like a manager inheriting a team with no balance, going through a transition season and not having a prolific goal scorer in the entire squad, while going through a building process? Does none of that matter then? and being out the title race in December last season and Challenging till the final few weeks this season, something we haven't done in years! and going out the CL group stage last season and and getting to the CL Semi Finals this season does none of this huge progress no matter as well?

The fact that he left us with a team with no balance and no identity! Jose inherited a team of players who had no specific style of playing. Something that was always going to take time to fix!

oh so it was Rafa who won us the EL then was it? So by that logic it was Rafa's fault why we lost the Carling Cup and CWC! 2 trophies that were there on a plate for him to win but he failed miserably! It was our players who won us the EL not Rafa! if he couldn't even win us 2 trophies that were on a plate for him, so its a bit ridiculous to put the EL win down to him. btw reaching the CL Semi final is a much much bigger achievement then winning the EL! as Rafa would say FACT! Rafa left the team with no balance and no identity! Jose had to fix that mess when he came in! FACT!

please explain how Mourinho failed? when in actual fact he made huge progress while cleaning up Rafa's mess! please enlighten us.

Treble.

he would be a Lampard replacement! and i disagree that we need creativity! we have created the 2nd most chances in the league, plus we have the player who has created the most chances in the league also! that is clearly not our problem, we need players who can put the ball in the back of the net consistently! and Paulinho is certainly capable of scoring 10+ goals a season! Chance Created in the PL 13/14 1. Man City - 533 2. Chelsea - 506 3. Liverpool - 488 4. Tottenham - 439 5. Newcastle - 420 6. Everton - 415 7. Arsenal - 403 8. Southampton - 397 Its a myth that we lack creativity! what we lack is clinical players, and prolific goalscorers! that is what has cost us this season! certainty not lack of creativity!

Like what exactly??? Because i feel it's better for Salah's development to go on loan next season??? Come on then Sherlock please explain what it is about supporters like me who only want what's best for the team! That you seem to hate so much??? CLUELESS

The truth hurts doesnt it.

He has been awful he needs to go on loan next season! he isn't much better then what we have out on loan! swap Salah for Marin, Moses, B.Traore or Atsu and it wouldn't make much difference!

The Brazilian Lampard! Sign him up!

Me! I Wanted us to sign him last summer and would still love to sign him now! he would be a very good replacement for Lampard!

Paulinho would be a great signing! he has the talent he just needs the right team and manager to get the best out of him!

Eto'o done very well for a past his prime ST in his first season in the PL! It took him a while to adapt but once he did he was class! Eto'o would have tore this league to pieces in his prime! Eto'o has done enough to get another year but if Drogba and Lukaku are coming back plus Costa there will be no room for him, and especially no room for Torres.

Matic has been excellent since he returned! i doubt Mourinho really said that! if he did he probably didn't actually mean it, just wanted a reaction!

This season has been a result of an average Transfer window after we won the CL! you see we let experienced player go like Drogba, Kalou, Bosingwa, Meireles Malouda, Essien plus Lukaku out on loan and then a bad injury for Romeu which left us very short on numbers in CM! then Sturridge sold the following January. and replaced them with too much mediocrity! Hazard, Oscar and Azpi were of course great signings, but all 3 are young and are still developing! then the mediocre signings of Marin, Moses and recalling Benayoun! Then the Interim one comes in and was just looking to beef up his Cv! he didnt care about the long term and only focused on the short term success! So this season Jose has been cleaning up Rafa's mess, Jose inherited a team with no balance! and no identity! Jose came in got rid of the dead wood and signed Schurrle, Van Ginkel, Willian and Eto'o! and recalled De Bruyne who had no impact, Van Ginkel got a bad injury and the other 3 all took months to adapt and settle into the team! We then sold Mata in January (who our team was built around under Rafa, so that shows how much Jose had to change the team) then we signed Matic and Salah, both cup tied for the CL and Jose said himself they are signings for next season! It took Jose 6 months of the season to make this team evolve into a much better defensive unit and counter attacking team! which is remarkable as i really doubt any other manager could have sorted us out that quickly! You see this whole season has really been a clean up mission from the Rafa era! Jose has transformed this team and has a great base to build off next season! our main problems dont need another year of transition to fix now, a few signings and sales and some players on loan returning and we will have a squad capable of doing great things next season! A world class Striker - Costa or Cavani A very good back up - Mandzukic or Doumbia A top class CM - Vidal, Rakitic, Kroos or Paulinho A Top Class LB - Rodriguez or Moreno Maybe another AM if one leaves like Reus, Hamsik or Lavezzi Then a few out on loan returning Courtois, Zouma, Lukaku and maybe one of Bertrand Traore/T.Hazard/Atsu/Piazon coming in to make the step up.

CL Semi Final >> Winning the Europa League Finishing 3rd and Challenging for the title till the final day >>>> Finishing 3rd and being out the title race in January Also you forgot to metion Rafa had the League cup and Club world cup on a plate for him! and look what happened!

Last season we went out in the CL group stage, This year we made it to the Semi finals! Last season we were out the title race in January, This season we will likely still be in the title race on the last day of the season! (something we haven't done in years) All that in a Transition year with no world class striker and no prolific goalscorer in the entire squad! Jose has put us in a position now where a few signings in the right areas and a few players out on loan returning, will make this squad good enough to walk the league next season! We have a great base to build off for next season! Jose got us to that point in 6 months! it would take most other managers a few seasons! Huge progress has been made! Jose has showed just how special he is!

I hope this is true! I really wanted him in the summer! he will be the next Frank Lampard for us! Quality player!

Juanfran is definitely the weakest link of their back four! Hazard needs to expose him tonight!

Gutted that Liverpool play on Monday! I wish it was City who had to play that day! now i don't know if i want Everton to win, because i really don't wont the title to go back into Liverpool hands! of course best case scenario would be for us to win, City to lose and Liverpool to bottle it and lose on Monday! but i feel if City lose then I cant see Palace stopping Liverpool from beating them! So i would probably prefer us and City winning this weekend and for Palace to beat Liverpool, Then for City to bottle their game in hand against Villa somehow! I just dont want to see the title go back in the Scoucers hands!
