Magic Lamps

John terry has been replaced by zouma. not sure aobut this one. probably mourinho as recognized terry as the reason for the lack of sharpness in our defence. but a risk given cahill's injury.

And the sad thing is, the best we can do now is bringing on Moses and hope for the luckiest of equalizers. We got absolutely no options on the bench. This squad under this manager will win fuck all. Too much deadwood not enough quality all over the pitch.

Now people see why it was premature to give Jose a FOUR YEAR extension. Imagine four years of this shit... I wonder when people in the club actually start to acknowledge we need a proper midfielder. And Agüero is just too damn good. Honestly what a player. Hazard who? Agüero has this grit and determination to impose himself on a game, eden is more of a fair-weather footballer.

just like the arsenal game. we have all the posession but do fuck all with it. they score and we don't know what to do.

our only hope is probably that Costa will get one of citys players sent off. But i guess we could not score even then.

Ramires has been so average. not tracking back effectively, too ponderous on the ball, at least he made 2 decent dribbles.

one good thing about our new approach in big games is that we actually try to play some football ourselves instead of just parking the bus. the downside is that we are like arsenal. posession without penetration.

why do we always get undone by counter attacks but can't string one together ourselves. City look just so much better than us, its depressing. we did not even have one real chance.

now we are fucked . with that approach we should have scored first. but we are static in attack and vulnerable in defense.

6.5m to PSG. Goddamn. Baba who is no better cost 4 times as much.

lothar matthäus is a laughingstock over here. He always acts up as the man in charge at Bayern when in reality no one there wants to have to do anything with him. Whenever a coach gets fired hentells the media he is intalks with the club to take over as manager. In truth he can not even manage his garden gnoms. Take his comments with a solar mass of salt.

Basically this. His regular brainfat moments are just unbearable.loads of my mates are Stuttgart fans and they hate him all. He has been offered to other bundesliga clubs as not even Stuttgart appear to trust him.was rejected by Wolfsburg butnas from have mercy. As German I hope he learns some tactics there. But I hope even more that he will never play for us in a major tournament.

Us winning the Cl would be a miracle like Munich. That night taught me miracles happen . but twice? IMO Bayern, Barca and Real are stonger than they were back then. Plus PSG is also a bit ahead of us. We got a strong first xi no doubt. On its day we could take on any of those, but win over two matches? José does not have the tactics to play our strongest xi in big matches and bringing in Ramirez usually fucks our rhythm. Also our paper thin squad will be completely burnt out the time the big fixtures come. With the personnel we got we should focus on finishing top 4, get out of the group stages and win one or two domestic cups.

Reus is great probably the best German am with Müller and özil but honestly Hazard is a level above. Reus has stagnated a while due to injuries whilst hazard has taken the next step last season. Don't get me wrong, Reus is absolutely amazing I would die for us having him in our team but he is two years older than hazard who has a far higher ceiling. At his best Reus is more effective than Eden but can only dream of having the natural ability to become a the best player in the world.

Lolz. They are a bit late to the party. Sadly the deal is already done.

yup rüdiger is shit. He would be a decent defender if he did not have an absolute brainfart moment (penalty or red card) every other game. He is worse than Luiz in that department. Would anyone really pay 20m for him? 18m euro (about 10m pound) are quoted as pricetag in germany. would that make him more attractive to you?

I have been getting more nervous with everyday jose &/or the board staying in denial of our actual needs passing. IMO keepers are not the reason for our worries tho. Begovic should be good enough. But our lack of options, solidty in midfield and tactical flexibility could be our downfall last season. We looked found out in the second half of last season already and nothing has change. Since Luiz left we have been unable to dominate or effectively play conter-attack in big games, too. Never properly replaced him as DM. Buying Falcao, baba, cuadrado while selling luiz, Bertrand has been complete bonkers. think about treading water. One or two impact signings and the world looks different , but as for now, it looks like games like the swansea one will be a pattern this season. No efficiency. If we lose tomorrow, I fear the psychological blow will be too big to recover as we are shit at chasing. Mourinho of course will play for the draw tomorrow. I desperately hope we somehow play our of our skins like in the city game in winter 2014 and somehow nick a win.

I know it is so depressing. Worst transfer window I have witnessed in more than 10 years as a Chelsea fan so far. Other contenders are 2007 (Malouda, Pizarro, Ben Haim, Sidwell, Ben Sahar) and 2010 (Ramires, Benayoun). Those signings were ok at best but they at least showed ambition to strengthen the squad in depth and in the right positions. I really don't know what to make out of this window We could save money to fund our stadium, but we don't as we want to splash out 50m+ on two young, unproven defenders who are no better than the young, unproven defenders we already got. But no we will never play them cos they did not cost 50m. We could also spent the same money on players who would actually improve us but no. btw Asier illaramandi wants to leave real. Would be a quality backup to Cech who canstring passes together and actually defend. But Jose "needs no midfielders" . Hey, we got Mikel.

Calm down. The opponent was only HIV by far the worst Team in an already shitty league. My cat would score against them. Costa is an OK player no doubt but he will be found out. There is a reason why he only collected like a 5 goals and assists each in the fuckin Ukrainian league. As of yet I would still have Willian ahead of him. Probably he is still better than cuadrado tho but who could have known. Both looked like bang on average wingers with pace and some skill, with cuadrado being in a slightly stronger league. But I am sure, cuad would fare just as well in a Bayern team playing against mickey mouse clubs.

About everyone in Germany hates Chelsea. I think that reaches back to when we thrashed Bayern at the Bridge in 2005. For most Germans we are petro-dollar fuelled rich kids who just buy everyone available, haeno soul and only mercenaries, play shit football. Redundant to say that most Germans are blinkered, ignorant imbeciles. I actually enjoy everyone hating us, it makes us even stronger and closer together. In school, when i was younger I got mobbed for being a nerd and a chelsea fan but then I grew bigger and stronger than all most of classmates it is one of my best ever memories when we won the league in 2010 and esp the CL in 2012 so I could rub it in all their faces. Call me weird but their powerless aggresion and desperate hate gave me such an unique thrill, it was incredible. As for me, I tend to hate the team that is our main rival most. I hated Utd with passion and now I am hating City most, but not to the same extent probably because they are not as successful. Apart from that I dislike about every team in germany because they are all self-righteous small-time cunts who think they are better than EPL clubs. I don't know why.

Moura and Oxlade also cut inside. Every winger cuts inside. This old fashioned go to the byline and cross does not work anymore. Fullbacks are there to create width. Our problem is not a lack of width by the wingers but that ivanovic can't crossand azpi is on the wrong foot to do so.

Of course they are but they got immense depth in midfield, whilst we have none. Which is why injuries are exactly the point. We can't expect Hazard to not get injured again. We are only a couple of injuries away to look like a midtable team.With the big EPL money in, every team in the league has strengthened. There are no easy games anymore. It will be much harder to go on a run like last season. If United get some injuries to key midfielders they can rotate in Mata, Schweinsteiger, Blind or Januzai whilst we could play Moses, Mikel, Ramires or Cuadrado. I hope this won't make the difference.

Whilst I am pretty sure, Utd won't be champions, I got this feeling that they will finish above us. But the big tests are yet to come. Who the fuck are Tottenham and Villa.

It is incredible how this story has been blown out of proportion by media and fans. I am pretty sure Mourinho did not start this on purpose to distract from our horrendous performances but if he did he is a brilliant motherfucker cos it has worked out pretty well. Secondly, I think the a rift between Eva and Mou should not be a problem. Both are professionals. She is obviously a brilliant doc and a strong woman so she should cope with it. Having her around at Cobham is much more important than her job at the games. Most docs can spray ice on a knocked spot or ask the player if he can continue or not. Also I am convinced there are many other capable physios who would work for us. The media is the media, they blow things up for a living, but I feel the support Eva got from supporters is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, one should appreciate the solidarity on the other hand there are comments like "if eva gets fired Mourinho should go" or with "I hope Eva carneiro is ok. I've got a dreadful groin strain she could massage if she wants" being one of the more harmless ones. The kind of patronizing sexism is no solidarity it is as bad as the jody calls she gets during games. Yes Mou can be a jerk at times. But he is the manager and is thus much more important for the team and the club than a physio so we people might stop undermining him even further even if he was wrong on this one. Actually I did not even watch the scene because of which he got mad at Eva and I sure as hell won't look for a video as it is only a bagatelle. At least we should make sure that this trifle does not blur our view on the roles of managers, physios and the right of women to a part of the sports the very same way as men are independent of their outward appearance.

But he takes almost 5 secs for 40m. Maybe he would prefer Tim Visser. Sadly both are not homegrown.
