Parky

He doesn't seem to have a very good football brain & I don't know how he was considered a potential brazilian #10 wonderkid. Loves to slow down any momentum in the final third or choose the worst option pass and space to run into. The problem with him is that he doesn't really have a natural position in our team that he excels in. I think he would suit MR in a 4-4-2 formation but even this is still not a perfect for him.

There were positives in last night's game to build on. I'm glad he gave Baba a start who was decent and should continue to develop with more time and encouragement. Would have liked to seen Oscar dropped with Kennedy given a chance to start. Moving forwards I think Jose needs to work on getting the attack to be more clinical and decisive in & around the box as there were too many wrong decisions and holding onto the ball when a simple pass was the correct option. I think Matic and Ramires seemed like the best partnership atm. Ramires looked energetic and dynamic although his technique should be worked on for improvement. Matic showed good composure and grit. He is so important for our team and can be fantastic when he is given the backing and confidence to own that position. Defence is still looking a little too shaky at times. I think Jose needs to improve the communication aspect of the back four. Terry I feel needs to more firmly assert his leadership and marshalling at the back. Definitely more talking and shouting by JT especially to build up young Zouma's positioning and anticipation. I would also like see Begovic be more commanding of his box and talk more with his defence which should help improve some of the indecisiveness at the back. Overall an improved performance which we can build upon. We just need to keep improving on our current weakness and liabilities and hopefully keep winning with Jose also evolving his style of management KTBFFH!

A definite improvement overall. We need to be more clinical in the final third and also iron out any indecisiveness at the back.

Fuck so much conflicting information I do not know what to believe anymore. The media love to fuck with our club which is the only truth out of all this.

Jose said he's not going to change his ways. So in light of that I say draw at best. 1-1

This is the mindset that may be his downfall. But I do hope Jose proves us all wrong guiding us out of this hole..

I have had the time to reflect and analyse our current terrible situation. First of all we stumbled into this situation via Jose's stubborn approach to first team selection, lack of squad rotation and unshakable belief in 'His' players. He continued to start the likes of Ivanovic and Fabregas when they were all both shockingly underperforming. Also the lack of belief and playing time for our fringe and youngsters did not help give them the confidence or match sharpness they deserved. When they were finally called up it was often at the worst situation possible with far too much pressure on them to perform. Instead of trying to break out of a bad situation by being positive with his tactics, formation and selections Jose does the opposite and becomes even more negative and conservative. This approach leads our players to play with fear and trepidation rather than belief and exuberance. We have an absolute abundance of talent in our squad with all their combined talents we should be soundly destroying our weaker opponents by playing positively with belief, dynamism and passion. Im sure his staff and players all know these factors to be true but cannot speak up as they are afraid of the reprisal they will suffer if they ever challenge 'his' ways especially in light of Eva's situation who was much liked and respected by the squad, staff and supporters. Jose has to realise he has the support, resources and belief around him to evolve his approach to save the sinking ship. But ultimately I feel Jose's ego and stubbornness will be his downfall as he will either go down with the ship or more likely get pushed overboard by the ship's owners before it sinks. We must all unite together whatever happens in future and rally around our club as no one person is bigger than the club. KTBFFH!!!!

I might just stay away from all the football news and forums for a week. Too much BS flying in the air! KTBFFH!!!

Rubbish tactics, performance, selections and substitutions.

I like Jose but after that ridiculous 2nd half can he actually turn things around? I'm really having doubts now.

Disgraceful

Farrrk

On comes the beast Benteke

Well at least we have to come out and play some actual football now.

Clattenberg is an amatuer ref. I don't know why he didn't call time after the 2 half mins injury time.

3 hours @ 11:45pm AEST.

2-1 Win. Costa with a clinical finish to open the scoring, Benetke to level the game from a corner and Hazard to win the game beating 3 opponents to score a peach of a goal! $50 @3.8 on BTTS & Chelsea to win. Rugby world cup final after this game. $100 @3 on Aus to win. Massive night of sports!!!

Isn't Matic banned for one game ?

I fkn hate these cunts especially that skinhead Skrtel. A must win game for all concerned. Jose needs to be brave in the selections and how we approach this game. We must play positive high energy football and focus on winning the game convincingly. Begovic Cesar Terry Cahill Baba Willian Matic RLC Kennedy Remy Hazard KTBFFH!

The result against the Klopp's Poo will be huge for Jose, the board and Roman. A sound defeat could become the defining moment for the future direction of this club.

Should have killed the game when they went down to 10 men. Not Hazard's fault at all. It was a good penalty and good save by their keeper. Kennedy should be starting from now on, this guy is our next star player.

Hopefully JT doesn't slip this time Wheres Drogba?

Oscar is useless. Cannot play well unless its for Brazil.

Fuk we're going to be tired for Lverpool game now.

Come on lets win this fkn game! 10 men Stoke is asking for it.
