Reddish-Blue

My bad, it was poorly worded.

We should sign a replacement for Oscar and then sell him. We have enough squad fillers already (Mikel, Ramires)..we don't need another one. I just hope the board let Mourinho sign a quality CM in January....maybe we can take advantage of the situation in Paris

Verratti? YES PLEASE! Would be the perfect midfielder and a good upgrade for Ramires as he knows how to play a simple pass!

Ancelotti's title winning season, we played better team football than Mourinho in 2014. We actually had an attacking system and we scored 103 goals that season! (I understand that you are a fan of Mourinho and you don't want to see him leave, but come on, that 2009/2010 team under Ancelotti was fun to watch)

He has NO CL titles with Chelsea. Learn to read

Based on our pathetic attack, Norwich to come from behind and get a point

Rather than talking to the media, he should be fighting tooth and nail on the pitch and producing assists for Costa.

I hate people that can't see the bigger picture. This isn't Mourinho FC, it's Chelsea FC. For all the talk of Mourinho being the best manager and having the best record at Chelsea, he keeps on failing in the UCL, season after season.

There's no shame in losing to the likes of Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid. PSG are an average side, they just took advantage of our defensive approach. If we played a more attacking brand of football, we would of won that game.

Different type of players. David Alaba can play LB/LM/CM/RM if needed, he's a freakish all-round talent Kenedy is a second striker/winger being forced to play out of position at LB

So starting for Brazil automatically makes you a good player?

To be honest, I never thought Sahin was good enough to play for Real Madrid (similar to Illaramendi). As for Baba, I got no problem with the 'treatment' he received. He's a young kid trying to break into the first team, he was shaky against Tel-aviv and Villa but showed signs of improvement against Stoke and Kiev. He just needs to keep working hard and I'm sure he'll get more chances to impress.

Started off well at Stoke, playing regularly in their first 6 games. However, since then, he's only been given cameo apperances.. I don't see him pushing for a CFC place next season...unless he can force his way into the Stoke starting lineup!

RLC - Mikel would be the worst midfield combination possible. Lack of experience + a passive defensive midfielder, Mark Hughes would love it

Would get rid of: Ivanovic, Mikel Hopefully sign: CB with pace so that we can play a high-line if necessary, high-energy midfielder capable of making simple passes under pressure Fits in with the club's policy of 1 in, 1 out.

Totally agree with this part of your post. Firing Mourinho now would be a mistake as no manager out there can come in right away and guarantee a top-4 finish this season. Maybe not having UCL next season is a good thing for Chelsea. It gives the club an opportunity to sell the deadwood and maybe start giving chances to 1-2 youngsters off the bench.

Are you going to stick up for Costa again? Because he was awful today, just like he was awful against Liverpool

Baba deserves a run of games because we need two fullbacks comfortable on the ball, ready to press at every opportunity

Must-win match, if we want to stay in the Champions league this season

Remy wouldn't even make into City's team due to his poor decision-making. We should of sold him to Crystal Palace, he would of thrived with the likes of Bolasie, Zaha, Sako crossing the ball for him

You're right, defending is an art, and just like attacking, you need players with the right mentality to make it work. When I look at the current squad, I don't see enough players with that sort of mentality. Only about 4 of them are good at defending, the rest of them are either attack-minded or average at defending & attacking. As for Atletico being a defensive counter-attack team...when they attack, they do it as a unit of 4-5 players, and they look capable of scoring 3+ goals a game. When I see Chelsea attack, it's Willian or Hazard or Costa with the ball, isolated against the opposition and generally the opposition manage to clear the ball or force a shot from a bad angle.

I don't know about Mata...but I would take KDB over Oscar anyday. As Gary Neville was saying in the discussion about Chelsea on Skysports, certain players that have killer, selfish mentality, they want to win and they want to live up to their potential...that's what I see in KDB's performances for Wolfsburg and recently for Man City. I don't see that mentality in Oscar, he hasn't really 'improved' on anything since his first season at Chelsea.

Come on, Jose bought Cesc to win the title back from City. We were missing a midfielder that could unlock the opposition's defense with a quality pass...Cesc played his role well last season. The problem is...when your not winning games and your forced to play a defensive brand of football, certain players won't be happy...and that's when the rumours of fallouts between player and manager start..

I have to say, your examples are amazing, Muzchap. First the ferrari fucking up and then the cow failing to climb a tree

You believe he is quality player, I believe he lacks the mentality to play for a title-challenging team. I think we should agree to disagree
