I agree Lamps still a very good player and I would play him in important games and/or situations. I am just not sure Benitez even rank him that high...

He started with Lampard in the pivot but he soon realised it wasnt working. Frank was contemplating the bench and it was clear that he was a second option for Ramires/Oscar. I know he injured himself in Donetsk as a starting player, however, he would return to rotation squad in the league. RDM, who definetly had admiration for Super Frank, did not viewed him as a starting 11. How do you think Benitez views him?

Sorry Zolayes, but they follow Chelsea because they can, not because they are better fans.

What are the odds Benitez even bench him though? RDM of all people was not giving him much playing time, Benitez will continue to do so or worse...

Why do people still mistake suporting the team with backing the manager? We should not be doing any action that may hurt the team. We dont need to chant Benitez name and we still want him out but we dont need to boo him...

I can realistic only see a ST coming in and Malouda going out. I would love to see us getting a CB (whoever that gets the job done), DM/CM (double pivot role) and ST (Falcao/Cavani). I also want Sturridge and Malouda out.

You forgot Roman Abramovich is a fucikng cunt who does not respect the fans and legends in any way, making him the worst ever owner of a football club. Lewandoski has more chance of winning trophies with Chelsea than with BVB. Bayern is being so dominant it will be hard to lose Bundesliga or DFB Pokal. Chelsea has CWC, COC, FA Cup and a long shot at EPL. I would want him here, although I think Falcao/Cavani would be better...

Pep is the Brazilian coach just like Redknapp was the English coach.

Globall Coach is an excellent tool. My coach used Tacitical Pad (which is cheaper)...

I know but what he wants is to see something like this: "A Champion to Remember" or "One of the Best Teams in History". He does not care if it comes with a pricetag on it as well...

@Ollie, I think you are being super optimistic in your evaluation of RDM. You cant blame all games on the officials. We were all pointing a lot of mistakes in our team. I mean, some pretty serious ones... We thought they were Di Matteo`s problems to resolve, not someone else`s. I will repeat, it is different to do a wrong move and to do a disrespectful one. He did not treated RDM bad as far as we are concern. Roberto Di Matteo would most certainly improve and could have been the man to lead our renovation, but it unfortunately wont happen. He did not fight with Roman and still welcome in SB. I dont want Benitez here, although he was the best option. Abramovich was thinking the same (he is the better option). It was in no way to screw the fans... The only time he lacked respect with the fans and with a legend was with Wilkins. Anelka and Alex were actually AVB and Malouda chose money over his career. That was the one sad thing that he brought us. Also, he never wanted us to play like Barcelona. He wants us to have a similar formula and reputation but our own identity!

I disagree that the results didnt even count... Abramovich always dreamt of being Champions of Europe but it was kind of holow for him. He wanted to see similar headlines to Barcelona (09-11), instead, he got things like: "Against the Odds", "Chelsea Bought Glory", etc. Which is more than fine for me, not for Roman. His goal is rather ambitious, he wants everyone to aknowledge he made a fantastic team that plays good football. He wants to be remmebered as the man who turned Chelsea into legends like that 1970 Brazil. Atfer everyone saying we did not deserved to win it, he wanted to transform us for this season (which we know is impossbile, but he is a billionare). He wanted other managers but stuck with RDM because executives inside the club asked for it. He had the task of attacking football and to win trophies. We lost to ManCity, to Atletico and EPL lead. He couldnt contain himself anymore and called to see if Benitez was available. The Board plead for him to wait at least until Juve game and after what happened, Di Matteo had no more way to justify himself (for Roman, of course). He desperately dont want to lose CWC, that is pretty clear for me. He did not want to risk another trophy and more points being lost in the league. I know it was fucking ridiculous to give Roberto the job in the first place, but he was doing what we asked him to. Once he had chosen RDM he had to back him up. We all know this wasnt going to happen, he couldnt even back the managers he chose, let alone the one he didnt. It was WRONG, not disrespectful.

AND THE PRIZE FOR LONGEST POST GOES TO...@Virus!

ANYWAYS, LETS GET BACK ON TOPIC! These has taught me two things: 1. Brazil just lost their chance of winning 2014 WC. 2. We might lose Pep to it.

LOL I understand it now, thanks to Spike. I agree, it is definetly a fine line between what is acurate and what is pretensious. I think people need to adapt to whatever situation they are. For instance, I find it rude when Brazilians use english words in the correct way, simply because it is to show off and not to be correct. So when I am speaking portuguese I try to speak with our wrong ascent (names, places, etc). However, when I am speaking in another language I try to follow their respective rules (English, Spanish and German). In your case, I find it ridiculous to pronounce "Paree" to an english speaker. It is hard to know when to use the acurate or the more polite way, but we need to be careful and use our common sense. Specially when we are writting, since there is no intonation. Btw, I love to see how different languages pronounce and spell places and names!

LOL I see now, sorry. Yes, but dont you think it only happens there. People go to New York (american ascent) and not to Nova Iorque, etc... I still dont understand why you asked if it was Brasilian, but that is ok.

Roman must do 2 things immediately. 1. He must find a manager he finally trusts and dreams of. This cant be prolonged anymore, it can not pass the summer. I dont care if it is Benitez, Pep, his wife, whatever. Only then we will have a coach with enough power to do his job and prevent the board `s intervention. This will give us what a lot of people want: stability, identiny, playing style, respect with the legends, connection with the fans, budget contention, etc. 2. Create a decent and capable hierarchy at the club. The way it is cant be sustainable anymore. It is not clear who has power and who doesnt and who directly reports to whom. Everyone thinks they own a part of Chelsea. I think the first action will lead to the second, it cant continue like this. I still trust him though...

I also think it is completely wrong, but I dont think it is solely made by the executives. I think the transfers come from both sides. I mean, the managers get what he wants in some positions but in others they just "recieves" the players Roman want (Sheva, Torres, etc)...

WOW, by your post it seems I did something wrong... I dont know what it is but it seems I answered you in a rude way. It was not my intention, at all. I didnt quite undestand what you were asking so I tried to answer in the most objective way. When you are speaking in portuguese it is Brasil and then Brasileiro, but when you are speaking in English it is Brazil and Brazilian. Obviously you know it is Brazilian so I did not understand your question. I am confused and I bit ashamed actually.

Mate, I did not understand your post. :confused:

He said he wont change it for this game. He has confirmed it will remain RDM`s 4-2-3-1. He obviously did not say if he will change any player`s position though.

The ancient men leading our football association are just too cocky to apoint a foreign manager. They still live in the 70s and 80s where we were the best, WERE. It is either Scolari, Tite (Corinthians) or Pep. Scolario is the people`s favourite because of what he did in 2002, Tite is the best manager right now and he might become CWC champion and Pepe is the media`s favourite. In portuguese it is Brasil and Brasileiro. In english it is Brazil and Brazilian.
