Ok I've called it this guy may be worse than Torres. Let's wait and see but I'm not hopeful. This guy is a brainless clown on the pitch. To his credit his football is great comedy as he makes me laugh out loud watching his circus act..

Seriously no more free kicks or crosses for Cesc. It's like he just lofts them high hoping for the best.. I swear I could deliver better set pieces than this guy.

To be realistic and fair to Jose it is way too early to be calling for his head. However I am angry like many others here with Jose's actions and stubbornness over the last two weeks. I will say this though. If we do not fight closely for the title and we exit miserably in the CL while playing with exactly the same tactical approach and starting with the same XI with the likes Ivanovic, Ramires and Cesc as they consistently under perform than things could change. Many of his loyal followers may switch their way of thinking. Jose need to know benching underperforming players is a big part of sports psychology and beneficial as it keeps players hungry and focused. Also having a more progressive and wider tactical approach is how success should be achieved in modern football. I believe the days of turning football into a street dog fight is limited in the success it can bring for a large and modern football club.

Put on a $100 for the draw with both teams to score @4.6 1-1 most likely

Fabregas better turn up in this game. Otherwise straight sub for Oscar in the first half and bench..

Jose tends to get his teams to rise to another level when they are under pressure and criticism. Will be close but maybe we can sneak a 1-2 victory..

If we lose tmr this threads going to explode.

Surprised at how strong he is for such a lanky tall lad but i'm sure he will fill out as he matures. Quite surprising to see a CB so comfortable with the ball and in possession even when under pressure. Need to see more of him to rate his heading and aerial ability though. If everything goes well than Stones and Zouma could become a formidable partnership once both players mature.

Yea two good goals..

I agree if it was Rafa in this situation we would all be calling for his head to roll...

If this is true it would be a disgrace especially with the service & dedication our medical staff have shown. If they get dismissed it would definitely be a strong case for unfair dismissal which could become an ugly legal case that will tarnish our club's reputation. That video above is the killer evidence showing medical staff getting called on the pitch twice by the match referee. The ref and medical staff practising duty of care while Jose is having a childish fit on the sidelines and public sook afterwards hitting out at the innocent party.

So this sets a dangerous precedent for any future Chelsea first team medical staff during games. *If a Chelsea player is down or injured you must first seek approval from the first team manager before assisting the player even if the game referee is waving you on for medical assistance. *If you break this club policy you will be called out and shamed by the manager on live broadcast while also being demoted from your position and benched. This policy stands even if it is in breach of your medical code of conduct and thr extensive training you have undertaken. I respect Jose and our club but clear they have got this one completely wrong and it looks like the shit has hit the fan and may backfire on their faces.

Alex Ferguson was a kunt and blamed everyone to protect his team. Jose has huge admiration for Red nose. Overall sport has progressed with more respect and humility expect football. Football has the biggest egos, prima donnas , diving and drama queens in all of sports. It's all getting a bit too much really. The players and managers get a huge amount of ca$h and sometimes it feels like they don't give a fuck or operate within society's norms. In my job if I did to Eva what Jose did I know that definitely I would be reprimanded for shifting blame and responsibility for my own failings or inadequacies to a weaker party. Yet in this case it was turned the other way round. I respect Jose for what his has achieved for our club but this whole saga with our first team doctor has been gutter trash drama. Doctors are professionally trained to assist anyone in need of medical attention anywhere and at anytime. KTBFFH!

LOL

Jose you got this one seriously wrong. A man sometimes has to accept his mistakes and not blame the easy target. Benched our first team doctor seriously WTF! I'm ashamed for our club.

Do you think this is an error from the clubs preseason planning that we are few weeks behind in match fitness as it may most likely cost us points in the first few games or does it mean we will have more gas left the the final weeks of the season..

I think Jose will play for the draw. Sit deep and try hit them on the counter.

When selling our young players we should always try add an 10-20% fee of future transfers especially when they get on sold to our direct rivals like in this case.

You can stream it live so we can all watch it here at talkchelsea..

Everton playing hard ball to squeeze every last $$$ out of us. Its like a poker game this but our clubs poker game is quite good nowdays..

Maybe Ramires could be trained by Jose to be good RB ?

Hopefully he is so solid that he cements the LB position and Cesar moves to RB with Ivanovic as backup CB.

I voted Ivanovic obviously because he totally owned the left flank. Jose must learn from this game and address our team's weakness but I doubt it as he will do the pragmatic thing and back his philosophy and his untouchables 100%.

Too slow and old to play RB. He should be a back up CB.

A must win game. We have to make a statement on our opening game at home. I believe our team will rise for this occasion. Jose will have properly fired them up. 2-0 Hazard, JT, (Costa if starting) to score.
