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.

Hazard at his best is top 8 in the world. But he's not consistent enough to maintain that level or consistently score/assist while the whole team is playing shit like he finally did recently for Belgium.

Lmao I don't actually care about what happens if she wins or loses. All I want is for us to start winning on the pitch again

All hazard needs to do for me is to develop finesse shots, curl his shots more at the angle instead of kicking the ball straight at the keeper or defenders. And he should dribble with the aim of getting into the box where they can't tackle him carelessly, it would cause far more panic to defenses if he just stopped slowing down and allowing defenders to recover. His talent is so amazing that he dribbles people when he desires, he just has to get more dangerous(by driving into the box not dribbling sideways) and be more consistent with it.

The change that happened in Madrid did not really affect his team because they had mobile players and natural dribblers everywhere. In their starting line-up (ronaldo, dimaria, benzema, ozil, marcelo, modric) could all make things happen on their own while we just have hazard and pedro. (willian is too shy to use his abilities) The holding ball under pressure was never a problem for them, they had so many players that could cope with pressure in the starting line-up but we on the other hand need hazard to play well or else. Then they had fast, technical centerbacks of Ramos and pépé to cope with counterattacks. Even if Mourinho goes back to 4-3-3 with our current squad, we're still too physically limited or unathletic enough to compare with any team he's ever managed.

Mourinho just needs a mixture of technical and mobile/athletic players. Which means fast centerbacks, fullbacks that can dribble past their man like maicon/marcelo, box to box cm who can drive through the middle like essien/vidal/matuidi, passers who can defend like Sneijder/modric, one dribbling winger, and one who makes runs behind the defence to score. And a technical striker with proper holdup play and aerial ability like drogba/Milito/benzema The only similaires between this our team and the normal type of teams he has is we have wingers hazard and pedro. We don't meet the above conditions in any other area of the team. Psg have players with every condition Mourinho teams normally have: (fast centerbacks thiago silva/marquinho, dribbling fullbacks, tackling passer Verratti, box to box matuidi, dribbling winger Lucas moura/lavezzi, Cavani to make runs from wings to score, and Ibrahimovic with the holdup play of drogba and Milito) Mourinho would destroy teams in Europe, most of those psg players are excellent at keeping balls under pressure and have the physical requirements to cope with Mourinho's tactics.
