Mourinho might actually be right. He raised these players far above their level to win the league last season. We are so terrible with the ball it's ridiculous.

Martial is currently the best dribbler in the league and is playing against the slowest right back in the league. Would be fun.

If we don't want to see the type of football we just saw against watford, then we know which type of manager to get.

Watford have huge players, instead of us keeping the ball on the ground and passing around them, we're trying to compete for who is better at hoofed balls in the air

I'm surprised hazard isn't starting. Maybe Hiddink is being careful with the injury problem. But we did win arsenal with the line-up, so we'll see how it goes

Where is the line-up

I need to work on my english. Of course I mean in this team currently. How can any normal Chelsea fan forget that we had a catalogue of midfielders in the past.

Kante the box to box midfielder Chelsea never had

What I was implying was how good he is at trashing small teams. In the Champions League he's not as good. But trust me, only parking the bus will stop all those Southamptons and stokes from winning a Guardiola possession team. Where he'll have problems are against the big teams (Us, manutd, Arsenal, Liverpool and tottenham, maybe Leicester) the rest will be easy.

Guardiola is an expert in beating smaller teams. With the transfer money he's likely to get, he'll win the league easily even if he doesn't beat big teams.

This is exactly what I wanted to say. But the board also forgot that they have to treat Terry different from the rest. He's Chelsea through and through and should be offered a role in Chelsea. Get Terry a contract, he can always come from the bench in future because his advice is more valuable than someone else occupying the bench. My main annoyance about the situation though, is the thought of ivanovic as our captain next season. It does my head in

I was very critical of how bad our fullbacks attacked during the Mourinho spell, but Hiddink seems to have fixed this. Fair play to him

He's a proper attacking fullback. We haven't had one since cole

I watched some clips of him and it seems like he still has his pace. That's good news

I'll rather it goes to the page where I stopped the last time.

I just think Mourinho literally never liked his fullbacks going forward. It's such a huge part of modern football that a team can never play entertaining football without attacking fullbacks

No way!!!!

Excellent movement again. I totally forgot how good he was in the first half of last season, he's showing that level again.

Slow midfield, no wingers, how will we get in behind the defence.

I'm all for going all out for payet. I don't care about his age, he's far better than current Oscar. He'll vastly improve our creativity for 3 solid years.

Except he has unlimited funds again like he used to have before coming back to Chelsea

Unbelievable, I refuse to believe this, where is the letter? Mourinho would never stoop this low

Manutd lol ? They don't know what creating chances means

Courtois is better than cech at commanding his area, predicting play and catching crosses. But when it comes to pure shot stopping, Cech is clearly better.

We can't win. Wtf is this about
