Mikel does not have the ability to play well for us ,it all depends on if slow square passes after three touches constitute "played well", I agree some see this as great . He does nothing in my book and his so called positives ie slowing our play down and negating our counter attack are not positives,some may feel that a couple of touches and a sideways/backwards pass are great ,he is not a great defensive midfielder like Makelele who also had the ability to see a quick short forward pass and would win the ball back for us high up the pitch enabling us to counter . Jose has seen this already ,he is not good enough for us and will never be a first choice under Jose ,as soon as he gets the chance to play he will let us down and he will at West Ham if selected ,like he did last season where he was gutless and slow,in a London derby he will be eaten alive like at Spurs . The only thing making him look good at th moment is his lack of minutes.

The difference between this theory and some of Newtons are that Newton's were proved to be correct,Jose is meticulous enough to know that this theory is all wrong and a theory is just that until proven to work on the pitch and it never has. .

Jose has the choice to play Mikel? Oh hold on I see what you mean. !!

A London derby is one thing , a fight ,West Ham hate us and it will be like a cup tie ,we need a team that will battle especially first half ,and that team should not include Luiz or Mikel or all of MaZaCar and Schurrle should play. Big Fat Sam will have them running ,jumping and kicking ,Chelsea with Drogba,Essien,Carvalho,Lampard,Terry and Makelele were always ready for the fight ,I am not sure if this Chelsea are? But a team taking into account the above will give us a chance of standing up to the attempted bullying ,because that is how they will hope to win this game and we will have to be ready for it .

Of our older players Ash is the one who is nearest to the end ,he suffers from bad ankles and was always a high energy player and is slowing down , I think Jose has seen this and that is why he is on the bench ,once his legs go he has little else to give us and I would not be surprised to see him not offered a new deal .

Well I guess Jose is blind then !! Have you ever considered it is you who does not understand football and Jose does?

If the name you will not mention is Mikel,he is the slowest most immobile and unfittest player at the club,I. dont care how old he is. Debruyne is out of favour at the moment because of the Swindon game but is a better option .

He is and always will be a much better option than the dreadful Mikel ,do we realise he cant score as many goals from this new position? ,trust me and Jose on this - until we find someone to replace Mikel, Lamps will have to start almost every game. Ours and Jose'sproblem is the faith the club put in Mikel he is not up to it and needs to leave ,I am sure Jose has identified this ,his team selection would point to that ,Mikel is a fraud ,that is the problem we have and we need better at the club to eventually replace world class players like Lampard. Our next game is West Ham away ,last season Mikel and Ramires played in this game they could not handle the pressure of a London derby and were awful ,Diame ran all over us in the second half ,Lampard must start,form comes and goes class is permanent .

Second half Diame walked all over Mikel it was really embarrasing for the lad ,Jose needs to watch the video and he will .

This was our worst performance of last season ,second half it was horrible and West Ham murdered us we were gutless ,lets not make the same mistakes again and Jose will I am sure watch the videos in the next two weeks . Diame in particular walked all over us ,this will be a derby battle and we will need to win that before we can play - ...............Cech............ ...Ivan...Cahill.....Terry...Cole .......Ramires....Lampard.. Schurrle....Oscar...Hazard.... ..............Eto'o............. Perfect game for Schurrle and that team will not be bullied as we were last season . This was the team that got murdered last season- 01 Cech Booked02 Ivanovic03 Cole24 Cahill28 Azpilicueta07 Ramires10 Mata12 Mikel Booked13 Moses (Marin - 78' )17 Hazard (Oscar - 73' )09 Torres

Everyone at the club thought likewise? And Cahill is a Chelsea player ,he played yesterday and has had a very good season so far ,much better than Luiz,the team is picked on merit under Jose ,there are no favourites,only players who perform play . You are really only relating your own point of view which is very welcome,but you hardly can speak for "everyone at the club" .

My argument that Mikel would be on the bench and not in the team was hardly flawed to be honest !! He needs to leave for his own good ,ours and yours . His wonderful talent needs to be allowed to blossom and on the bench at his age is no place to be for such a wonderful talent.

Every manager born makes mistakes Jose just makes less ,still very early days , progress in Europe secured and well positioned in the league ,he needs to be the power at the club because our managers recently were always looking over their shoulders,this needs to be at least a four year plan and in four years time Chelsea will be a dominant power ,a lot of new supporters who have just jumped on a bandwagon have no patience. In a period of change and transition we are doing just fine and Mourinho is the long term manager for Chelsea . It is very easy to manage a team and make the right decisions after a game and even then they will not have been seen to have been proven right or wrong .

After the Newcastle game every team will now play a low block against us with two lines of four giving our three AMs no space to operate in ,untill we come up with a plan to beat this it will continue,our movement needs to be sharper and quicker passing ,another thing we are lacking is shooting from distance ,remember how many deflected goals we used to score? a deep defence hinders a goalkeepers view and they can deflect shots past him. What is not the answer is a slower build up in play.

That is a disgrace . And he allows his mates who back up his flawed arguments to abuse posters without warning .

So he wasnt dropped and should be looking for a new club ,because he is too good to be on the bench?

Still waiting for the private message on that .

It certainly is ,was he dropped again ? choulou was certain he would start .. Wrong again mate ,did you like those high balls on your tv? . He needs to leave it is obvious Jose does not rate him . And West Ham next where he was destroyed by Diame last season he will not like it there .

If he was any good surely he would be playing ? at the moment ,it is clear we need new blood ,he is 26? now he should be leading us not be on the bench ,he was meant to be our superstar just behind Messi? It never happened. For his own good he needs to play first team football somewhere he is not good enough for us ,those long high balls were useless,with our small forwards ,the Drog has gone.

Sadly so !!! Seven years of it now dropped again he needs to leave and new blood introduced. Those long high balls were rubbish we need to keep playing he gave us nothing.

A bit harsh to expect a right back to be our creator of chances and who is there for him to cross to ? Drogba left a while ago ,our three AM's should be creating more for us Ivan is a very good defender,not an attacking defender. Crazy to expect him too create for us and I feel our AM's are escaping blame here they need to start opening up defences and scoring. Once again we have 69% posession and our AM's should be doing a lot better with that against another low block packed defence like at Newcastle. Every team will set up against us like that now untill we come up with the answers and that needs to be more creation from our AM's .

I am getting a bit worried about the number of very easy chances he misses to score in matches ,the header should have only ended up in one place.

He was embarrasing when he came on long aimless balls straight to their centre halves,nothing else to add on him ,apart form please find another club as quickly as possible,dropped again and the next game is West Ham away where Diame ran all over him and Rammy last season in the 3-1 loss,lets hope Jose watches the tape it was our worst performance of the season.

JT is first choice ,but surely our best defensive partnership as of today and therefore first choice is Cahill and Terry. Will be very interesting to see who plays tomorrow? Cahill and JT for me ,Luiz needs to understand the art of defending and the percentages and I have confidence he will in time ,commiting yourelf to make interceptions is great ,when your judgement allows you to intercept ,JT's decision making on when to intercept and when to drop is flawless,David needs to watch and learn . And as of today surely Cahill / JT is our 1st choice?
