Ivanovic can handle maccabi small team. But if he starts against arsenal however, one on one with Sanchez and we concede again from his wing, I'll lose all my remaining hope in Mourinho and turn to MrBlueGuy.

But Mourinho is a manager who is characterized for not letting people lose focus. What has happened?? Too many players losing motivation like this is unheard of. Are the players quarreling with him? Or are they tired of how we play???

This part is what bothers me. We all know if Mourinho is really caring about our results, he'll go back to his style, park the bus and grind out results. He did this last season after we lost badly to tottenham, he did it the previous season after we lost to sunderland in the carling cup.I can't believe he hasn't done this yet. It was unexpected like he doesn't care, "the refugees are really the ones under pressure".

I read somewhere that Mourinho doesn't want to play anyone he didn't authorize the board to sign. That's why we're hearing all these supposed injuries for baba and he didn't even put our deadline day centerback in the champions League squad.Hopefully it's all rumours, if not it doesn't look good for baba

In my opinion he'll come good, at least I hope. I'm just shocked at the way things are going. Mourinho plays boring football compared to other managers but he always guaranteed victories, desire, passion from the players. And he did whatever he could to win even if he got rid of players who have fought for him. But he seems to fear ivanovic who has cost us so many goals this season (we're the worst in the league) I don't see any signs of these positives he brings this season. I actually thought we'd come out against Everton, shut up shop with a low block and set out to not concede so that we can go from there. But Mourinho is looking different, almost as if he doesn't care about results because if he cares he'll make us defend deep so that we can salvage some points. The football we played in the 2nd part of last season was acceptable because we were winning. But to play without creating proper chances, without any passing combinations that looks like we practiced attacking movement and we're loosing on top of it is unacceptable. As a Chelsea fan he has my respect because of what he has done for us so he can be afforded more patience. But he has to either start winning with this boring football or get entertaining while playing youth.

My friend thinks the players especially hazard, fabregas and Ivanovic are revolting against Mourinho because of Eva treatment. No other explanation for earning 150k and playing 4 consecutive crap matches

I hope for this too. But first he must drop ivanovic, he needs to prove to me that he still has balls and Ivanovic is not blackmailing him somehow

He normally causes some danger to defenses even if we are terrible but this season, his performances have been

At this point he surely must be replaying his press conferences and laughing at home

Ancelloti is better than any other manager that is available. He's not perfect but he's better than every epl manager bar Jose imo. This is how I feel. We can't even park the bus. Davis Moyes and AVB were mocked for less

Lmao

Hopefully. He can't be worse than all these frauds we've been seeing

What I'm afraid of is if Mourinho can't stop us losing and someone gets Ancelloti, then there's no one able to replace Mourinho without me shaking. Klopp faced what Mourinho is doing this season during last season so I'm not confident in him. I'm beginning to believe Mourinho runs away from the league after third seasons because everyone figures his tactics out. He can't even park the bus anymore

All Mourinho has to do is to bench ivanovic to lift the spirit of the fans. Can he??

I'll lose hope once I see ivanovic start the next game. We could get Ancelloti while we still can

Fàbregas today: 0 tackles won 0 aerial duels won 0 interceptions 0 assists 0 shots 0 crosses

Speaking of hazard, where is he?

They said it was fake

The fans were class, singing "we're staying up"

Good. Mourinho has no excuse anymore to trust ivanovic for any match. If Mourinho starts ivanovic in our next match he should be sacked. The manager is paid millions to see the teams problems and solve it. Ivanovic is a problem, our slow midfield is a problem and I kept saying this all summer.

Slow midfield, easy to press us and counter using ivanovic side. Please hazard only you can save us now

Mourinho should revert to type in this match. From the negativity from most Chelsea fans, many of us would do anything for a typical Mourinho 1-0 grind out victory.

Or we could shut up shop, and grind out consecutive clean sheets, get our confidence up again and take it from there.

I hope we start pressing properly as a team to maintain this high line we've been playing. None of this disjointed pressing of only 2 players pressing, the whole team should go together and Everton won't have space to create chances easily. And get ivanovic out of the starting line-up so that Everton don't have an easy way out to create chances when things get difficult. Once we do this, we'll have a chance.

Yes but there are more players consistent than him, that's why I said he's a top 8 player and not top 3.
