I've said it before, any striker that comes to chelsea looks so average but at another club, they look world class. There is a serious problem with our team

Fantastic for him, martinez plays possession and keeps the ball on the ground so lukaku will definately develop his ball control, passing, movement during possession and be of help to both chelsea and belgium on the long run The amount of times the players look for him is hardly seen here for the strikers

I didn't watch the interview yet but I heard they asked him about KDB and he was pissed off on why they only ask about players he leaves out.

Jose just stormed out of the press conference some minutes ago

This^^ How good is he at controlling the game? can he give long passes? is he even faster than mikel? how different is he to dembele or fellani or is he the same type of player as one of them? I'm not sure of his abilities

I just knew that something has been wrong with hazard. He needs 2 weeks off in my opinion. Get his injury sorted out, thats probably why his dribbling has been worse this season. He seems less confident to try to dribble people, looking like he doesnt want to get injured all the time

What happened was that mourinho worked on their main weakness - Defensive contribution Now we are more comfortable with them playing together without being naive at the back and they still got their offensive threat

Anything to keep mourinho's team down, since their love manutd cant be saved

Yes a lot could happen, KDB could discover some form, willian could finally show quality so it could change based on form but with time mourinho will understand his players and establish a proper first 11 players. Probably by the end of october.

Mou is someone that plays the best players from the previous games. But usually has one or 2 constant people(whether they play well or not) So those are the in form people from the spine of our team through the middle

The problem with trying to get a defender and a squad pivot player is it will distract us from genuine intentions of improving the first team Like in the summer we were busy looking for more attacking talent(willian) and more young talent(MVG) and we didn't work hard enough to force teams to release their world class pivot players to us.

Hopefully we can get it sorted out in january, but honestly I can't draw out enough world class available options We also need to take a look at the striker department to see what we can do there, preparing early for the summer or snatching a good one while we can. Then we'll be a complete team.

Showing a little passion lifts the atmosphere and the crowd up. That's why we all love luiz, terry, drogba and lampard

Get a room guys

Mou now knows his spine of the team. CECH TERRY-LUIZ RAMIRES MATA IN FORM TORRES (till eto gets form or torres becomes normal torres) Other positions on the pitch can be rotated without us losing our heads because the spine is set now.

This^^ Some people are acting as if jose wanted him to be our new centerback... Get a grip guys

Too bad you said this too soon

Very underated player. People say mata was the main reason for our second half against tottenham, I say it was ramires. Proof is how we played against swindon till ramires was taken off. We have now cemented a spine in our team Cech-terry-ramires-mata-torres/eto Other places can rotate, and we'll still keep our identity :cfc:

Just needs to take his chance just like mata did. I trust him, he has a strong mentality

I think we should get something straight. Anytime hazard is not among the best 5 chelsea players for us in a match = POOR PEFORMANCE If townsend was more dangerous than hazard = poor performance If he really needs mata to perform like I said earlier in this thread, its not good enough. For this, Jose needs to give him the mata treatment (in a softer way) so that he can work harder and get his act together.

The main problem he has for me is his finishing. If he can learn to shoot on the ground it would be better for him. Look at how gnabry shot on the floor for arsenal to score against swansea. On the floor on the floor on the floor. I like his ability to get into dangerous places. Its a very underated ability that mata and lampard also have.

The opposition fans know how good mourinho is, so the just hate how good he is and are jealous. They only say bad things about him so that he gets sacked.Look at when AVB was with us and how he was ridiculed by the media, almost crucified, but now he is their darling at tottenham. Sadly people like henrique and nono fall for this and want him sacked. For who? You don't know what you have till you lose him. Every new manager in england is underpeforming but we managed to keep stable from last season and can only go up from here. If some fickle fragile fans can just be a tad patient we can do this, without regretting like madrid

Fantastic save by courtois as usual, but athletico deserved to win all the way. Diego costa tormented them to the death

Athletico madrid showing real madrid how its done. Agressive defending, High pressing, quick transitions and fast football. No wonder they are on top of the spanish league. They team style and identity is definite and good.
