When is Jose´s next press conference?

Yes,you both are right. The weird thing is that Mourinho yesterday mentioned that our players could have some attitude problems.We saw these attitude problems during the second part of the season and we still have these kind of problems.Instead of benching some players,Mou still gives them chances over and over again. Look at what Ramires did yesterday.He ran his socks off,tried to show how good he is and he delivered. Kenedy always tries to impress the coach,he always runs like a bigger version of Ramires,going into every duel he sees and he showed that he has desire for this club. RLC impressed everyone with his great runs,his tackles and his quick reading of the game and he showed that he wants to be in the starting line up. Instead of giving those 3 more chances,he gives Iva,Oscar,Hazard and Cesc more chances,which is unfair. These attitude problems could be fixed if those untouchable player sit some matches on the bench and see what younger players or players that love the club can do.Maybe,they change their minds,but Mourinho first has to change his mind by giving other players chances. Iva was the worst player against Walsall,why does he bring him against Newcastle. I do not get it.

That is not true.Look at the posts in the Ivanovic thread for instance.There is a lot of criticism about Ivanovics poor performances out there,but the main thing is that Mourinho always gives him more chances instead of benching him. That is his fault.Why not give another player a chance?Of course,when players play bad and we criticise them,but why does Mourinho not change more.Benching Terry gave us a little bit of more stability.Why not bench Iva?Oscar and Cesc were poor yesterday,but I know that both of them will get more minutes in the next two matches.

He was not even on the bench yesterday.Let´s hope that he will get some minutes against Porto,but it is very unlikely because he could not make it even on the bench against the worst team in England right now.Depressing

Cesc and Oscar are not winning any tackles,so Matic has to win all of them,which is a bit unrealistic,if you ask me because he is no Son Goku. Sometimes,yes,he has his Son Goku performances,where he wins every tackle,but you can´t expect from him these kind of superhuman performances all the time. That is why a player like RLC,who is big and strong with a good technique would give Matic much more stability,but Mou will probably gibe Mikel more chances rather giving RLC chances.It is what is is

That is why RLC should have played against them.Matic and RLC would complement each other perfectely and we would have outmuscled them easily,but Mou still sees a baby in RLC,even though RLC is one of the strongest players we have in our squad.Mentally,he is also ready.

He did not do anything productive when going forward,he still got beat several times in the defense.He deserves to be criticized like any other player that had a bad performance today.

Hopefully,RLC starts as a no. 8

http://www.transfermarkt.de/branislav-ivanovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/36827/saison/2015/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/631 According to this,he got 2,but he also got one yellow card today,so it should be 3

So,if I counted correctely,Iva has 3 yellow cards,so let´s hope he gets two more,in order to see that he gets a one match ban. Desperate times that we live in if I have to hope that a player has to get a one match ban to see Iva nowhere near a Chelsea game

Actually,changing some names would change a lot.Let me tell you why.If you look at our starting eleven,you clearly see that we have one right back playing on the left side and a centre back playing as a right back. Azpilicueta is still our best defender.He knows how to defend fast players and he shows week and week out that he defends attackers from crossing the ball to the penalty box. Iva can´t defend that.I know you rate him highly,but let´s be honest,every player that comes from the left side,will cross into the box because Iva can´t defend that. That´s why it is so important to have some modern fullbacks. Just bench Iva and if Mou loves Iva so much,play him as a CB.Maybe he plays better there.I highly doubt that,but maybe he really does. If that somehow happens,we will have two modern fullbacks playing on our side. Azpi switches to his natural side and Baba comes in,who is just brilliant when going forward because he actually can cross the ball into the box. Moreover,this means that players like Hazard and Pedro will have much more freedom to create something and our play would benefit from is so much. Today,I watched Barcelona playing an average team.I saw that Jordi Alba,who is the best or second best LB at going forward(mayba Alaba is better),was injured and Adriano replaced him.Adriano was very poor at going forward and Neymar played horrible because he had to face always three players.Not an easy job,if you ask me.Hazard has the same problem with Azpi.The only difference is that Hazard always has this problem,while Neymar only had it today. The funny thing though was that Barca playerd very good from the right side.Why was that?Sergi Roberto played brilliant football as a right back and Munir and him played very well together,which created a lot of space and as a result of that,many chances. On the left side,there was no sign of modern football,but on the right side,we saw some quality football,which shows the importance of actually having some modern fullbacks. Chelsea is the only club I know that does not have modern fullbacks. Changing one player would immediately improve our game.Just one. Me personally,I would also bench Oscar and replace him with RLC,who always has his good games and if Mou refuses to give him his chance,just play Rami,because he at least gives always his best. Cheers mate

We all know that Cesc is not famous for winning tackles and Oscar can win tackles,but he is not consistent with his game.Against Arsenal,he jumped in every duel and he did not win every duel,but almost everyone.One week later,he does not win any of them.Sometimes I think,that he does not win his tackles against the more physical sides,while playing against a more technical team,he shines. Furthermore,we know that if Cesc,nor Oscar win tackles,Matic will not win his tackles either,because he can´t be the one who will win every tackle that Oscar and Cesc lost before. Ok,sometimes Matic has his superman performances,but that can´t be the case all the time. I like how you defend him,but his performance was not good.I expect from him much better pressing and this time he did not deliver. Ramires did much better and our play improved immediately after Rami came.

The funny thing is that Alves is also a finished player.He can´t cross either.Every Barca fan is furious with his game.Just play Azpi RB and Baba as a LB.That is the only hope I can see

Matic has bad games when his midfield partners play bad.Oscar did not win any tackle,Cesc never wins tackles and you can´t expect fro Matic to win every tackle. Apart from that,Iva plays in every aspect of his game horrible.I do not know where to begin because it would take too much time,but in short,he can´t defend,nor he can attack.

So sad that we waste so much potential

Any good streams?

Especially against Walsall,Iva was clearly MOTM and showed how good he is

Does Iva start?Please say that he does not start

City lost against Spurs and suddenly everyone thinks that they are shit? They are obviously not the new Barcelona,but they are still title contenders and we should not underestimate them.We underestimated them already this season and lost 3:0 without having any chance to win against them.We could have easily lost against them if Aguero had a better day. Also,losing against Spurs is not that unrealistic.We lost against them last season 5:3 and Terry and Cahill could not even once cope with Harry Kane on that day.

Somehow,I forgot to watch the press conferene.Any links to rewatch the press conference?

We played Mikel against Man City if I remember correctely and we still got overpowered in midfield,so I do not see a reason for playing him. I hope that Remy plays ,but Jose somehow thinks that he could turn Falcao into the old Falcao.

Hm,this could be a reason,but how is he supposed to get better in that kind of area without playing more? Schürrle once said that the big difference between the PL and the Bundesliga is that you get your fitness by playing your games in the PL,while in the Bundesliga,you get most of your fitness from training because you actually can train more. The PL has more matches and one cup more,so it is obvious that the PL clubs can´t train that long and hard and need more rest that other clubs in from other countries.Schürrle said that it was hard for him to find that fitness in order to compete with the players who always played.Jose was also not the guy who liked rotation that much. I hope that they do not waste such a talent.

Zouma had the luck that Cahill and Terry started to look weird.Their partnership was not that good anymore,so Mou decided to give him a chance.Obviously,he took that chance brilliantly,but to be honest,I do not see that luck happening to RLC. Mou only gives him chances against the very weak teams and even if he plays well,Mou brings Mikel or Ramires on from the bench when we play against PL teams.That is kinda sad because he did not play bad this season.Even in pre season,he was the one who played good,even though he just played one match if I remember correctely. We all know that Mou does not bench the players he loves.Cesc will not be benched because we rely on his creativity.Matic plays the no.6 role and he is of course better that RLC in that position.Oscar is a player that will not be benched for RLC because Mou loves him and his attitude. There is no room for RLC right now.I do not know how many good performances RLC has to give to be in the starting line up in the PL in a competitive match.Yes,he played last year,but that were matches which were unimportant.

Just such a great player,but I hate that Mou refuses to give him more minutes.Why did he not play him the whole match? We did not need Matic for this match,so why risk a potential Matic injury?RLC looked so great and after we replaced both RLC and Kenedy,we did´t look that great anymore

He made a lot of very good runs,but his shots were just awful.Ok,he also had a little bit of bad luck,but still he could have finished much better.After some weird misses,he lost his self confidence and looked very bad.Remy for me is the striker to replace Costa in the next match.
