Can you give me the link plz?? Thanks

I meant in the sense that he never won the PL,

Rafa does have experience in PL, is a good tactician, but I can't see him more than a 'short-term' manager. He had a wonderful chance to show his calibre with Liverpool, but he never showed up. I still regard Pep as the ideal manager, though he has never played in pl, I don't think it's a big risk as much as it was when we got Mou or AVB, both of them were unproven in Pl too. But I would choose Rafa, if We can't get Pep. The only worry I have for Rafa is the tremendous pressure he will recieve because of the past grudges (specially from our fans.)

Why?? Would love to hear you out.

Well ure acting like we shouldn't search for it!! Tht Romans way is to keep sacking managers!! Which is totally wrong, we have been looking for the right manager since Mou. So what!! we haven't found one, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try looking for one!!

It looks like his method but i doubt he wants to change managers every season or so! anyone who knows about football will tell you how important it to have a long term manager!! David moyes with everton, Martin oniel with villa, if only they had money they would've created a legacy like sir Alex, and that my friend is what u have to understand. Period

What ROMAN's method are you talking about?? He like most of us is waiting for the right man to come along! Why would you think he wants to change managers all the time ?? That doesn't make sense at all. And if Mou would've changed his style of play according to the board, he would've been here till now.

Yes, stability is also needed with the back room staffs and we've got that, but look at Manchester United and how much success they have reaped from Sir Alex. We need that too!!

Many other things played part in us winning the UCL, but 'Instability' certainly wasn't one. Stop being so stupid!! How do you think we're gonna integrate our youth. And Your understanding of football is less than arsenal's trophy in the last 7 years!! So shh!!

HELL YEAH!!!! His young and an excellent motivator, he has a history with us, his tactics are impressive. The only problem I have with him is his in-game tactics (he subusitutes players a little too late for my liking) and I havnt seen/noticed him countering the oppositions tactics that much as I would've liked too (AVB and Mou were better IMHO. ) If he can improve that (as i said earlier his young meaning room to improve and improvise his philosophy) and If he can integrate our youngsters from reserves into first team then I'm SOLD!!! We desperately need stability in our club!! It's been due since end of Mou's era.

His progress in our club got hindered by us changing from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-, IMO. RDM just couldn't risk him in a two man midfield, since I don't know what he offers (haven't seen him play) maybe his overall attributes aren't that good/developed over our other midfielders. Besides keeping him as a safety net, I think its better if he goes to another club (if he gets playing time and if we sign de rossi/vidal/any other dmf i.e.) and if the article I read was correct, we have a buy-back clause so it would work out for both parties. Only problem I see here is what if we don't sign a DMF or since Barcelona also has a buy-back clause already in place, why would he choose us over barca? He will obviously choose barca, but he may not if there's no position available he desires with them!! I'm not surprised his not happy. He needs to get matches under his belt.

I agree!! His lack of pace makes him vunerable on counters, but in his defense he does compensate by taking good positions. And I wonder if his marking problem has to do with lack of aggression?? But besides that he has stepped up big time, I can't ask anything more from him to be honest.

Studying mechanical engineering (would love to ask you guys, if the futures bright or not?) kampai!!

Cheer up now!!! Little part of his soul lives inside you!! tc mate

I'm really sorry. May his soul R.I.P!!

Seems like your dad didn't beat you enough!!! Or maybe he hit you so hard that you can only LIE AND OBEY!!! (sad story either way)

Born and bred, Like how apes are taught to solve problems by abusing/treating them, phst!!! Yeah I rather not have that experience !!!! You aren't a fan by choice!!!! You were made one by chance!!! Remember that!!! Fans like you who think their superior disgusts me!!

Everything I know about this club is due to either nagging my grandad, or by researching myself on the net and sharing with fellow fans. Yes!! People like me aren't lucky enough to have witness or have the luxury to take a train to the bridge and watch the match!!! But that doesn't mean I know less about the club. You may have witnessed it with your own eyes but I have read it or heard it!! I know the rivalry that exist between us and dirty leeds, i might not feel the same adreline as you guys, but I know it's important for the old supporters and the club and thats enough for me to take it serioulsy. Think of us like new players like mata and Oscar , they might not know the history first hand but theyve heard of it and respect it, while you guys are like RDM who knows it cause youve already been part of it.

You just press the comment you wanna quote, and it should trigger a button to quote. Hope it helps I can't name a single person that played in 1970 (well not Exactly but Im not that well informed about our past) So am I a so called plastic fan too??? But before you tag me as a "plastic fan", you should atleast hear out, why I don't!!! First I was born in 1990 so that's like 20 years before I was even born, not only that I wasn't born in England either. So the only reason I am a Chelsea fan is because my grandad luckily was a Chelsea fan and I grew up watching/liking them, and trust me where I come from 15 years ago, no one had even heard of Chelsea, hence I feel lucky my grandad somehow knew. I haven't been in any Chelsea match!!! Just once when they came to Malaysia, and I barely managed to be there. But does that make my love/passion towards the club, any lesser than yours?? I certainly don't think so!!! I'm just saying before tagging the supporters of the same club with awful words as "plastic fan". You gotta understand that some people aren't lucky enough to have a heritage with a club and the only way they know about the club is because they liked the style of the team (past or present or via skysports) And beside that, instead of hating them for not knowing the clubs history, you can always educate them!! Because a fan is a fan, eventhough he found out about Chelsea yesterday or he has been following for ages. And should get equal respect from other fans. Period!!

Hi!! Welcome to the forum. Anyway could you elaborate on what "New wave plastic generation fan" mean???

http://www.lifesapitch.co.uk/opinions/luizs-cultured-talents-should-be-savoured-not-criticised/ A decent article about luiz, IMO

I just pray he doesn't turn out like Defoe!!! (based on their erratic decision making, and shoot on sight policy) :/

Pete for now, Luiz if he fulfills his potential, Mata as a vice-captain.

Can you guys smell the fear of United!!!! Come on Chelsea, believe people!!!! BELIEVE!!!!
