Fuck off

We need Fabregas passing

Nobody will convince me otherwise, Baba can't defend for his life

if the reason why he supposedly asked to be interviewed is to clarify some of the things being published, it makes absolutely no sense that's what he'd come to say. Hazard doesn't have the gene some of his mates have for saying everything he shouldn't, but if he was ever to do that, do you really expect it to be in the club's in house TV? People must be really naive to buy that - although I don't doubt he could say noncommittal things like he did in the past, saying that he doesn't know what will happen in his future. Nobody does anyway and I've always felt that was just Eden being honest about the odds at life. It's fair.

Every bad word I've ever said about this guy (and I said plenty of them)? He made me eat all of them and some more. My bad, through and through. I've never honestly expected him to add the numbers to his game. I've always praised him for his work ethic and work rate, but crucified him for everything else. I went as far as saying he was limited in terms of football brains. While I don't think he's anywhere close to being brilliant, he made the necessary adjustments to become crucial and showed a lot of character when 90% of this team shows 0. There are few football players I fully respect - for too many reasons - but Willian is gaining my profound respect as each day goes. I still see a lot of limitations to his game (but the numbers he added more than make up for them), but none to his character, dedication, willingness and humbleness.

What intrigued me the most was how cryptic his answer to what the problems are. Not that I expected him to answer it, he would never (no manager would), but when he said some of the problems he doesn't even want to touch? I think one of the big detractors of our season is our pre-season. We made a test, it backfired hugely. I also believe some of our players are resting on their laurels and some are just going through some terrible technical form. Of course, I put a lot of over Mourinho's shoulders. He's showed his limitations to drill the attack, he's now seeing how lucky we got with our defense the last two years (that was the only thing I was able to foresee, that sooner or later we were going to get caught simply because we were quiet lucky in the past regarding that and relied a lot in miracles by our keepers). Do I believe the report of someone saying they'd rather lose than win for Mourinho? No way in hell. But I do believe maybe a couple of players are quite unhappy under him. But if there was any player power going on, I think the answer from the stands today was enough for them to rethink about it. It's sort of unprecedented for a manager with the results - but especially displays in the pitch and issues and drama off the pitch - that Mourinho has to receive this kind of support. The players (some of them) might be especially brilliant people, but they're completely capable of understanding what happened today. That's why I believe things will get better. When you don't want to play for your manager and you see the supporters answering like that, the board answering like they did with the statement, you just accept defeat and try to cut your losses. A new manager wouldn't put a lot of money on some players giving how bad they've been playing. That also wouldn't help their fees and interest from other clubs. So yeah, maybe the much needed change will come because fans promoted it, instead of players and manager - who are the main culprits.

Is he already backtracking from something he said just yesterday (or I'm mixing the names and he's not the one with the essay about Mou being fired next week?)? I don't think a professional club will change their mind because of something like that. It sounds pretty amateur, but still something I'd do - as I'm not a director or anything. I'll tell you what. It touched me, it made me proud. I still believe he has to go at the end of the season (but I wouldn't mind giving him a second chance in a new season because I'm a girl, I'm emotional and that was pretty touching). But when all those headlines about us have been so frigging negative, our support go there and just do that. not that media will give it as much attention as the circus they amplified, but Mourinho is right, seeing something like that is not normal, it's not common. I don't think it's a cult as some have implied, I just think fans feel deeply connected to him and feel his connection to the club. I think they believe he can turn it around (I don't), I think they're trying to help to make things better (and I believe it will). Ivanovic looked surprised by that and I think anyone would. I just hope the players don't feel 'jealous'. Mourinho is one to constantly advocate for fans to shout players' names in the stadium instead of his because he knows they need the motivation sometimes. So let's hope they won't feel like 'this guy is making mistake after mistake and they support him like that while they seem tempted to boo us when things go to worse or just go quiet when we need them to shout the loudest). Anyway, what happened at Stamford Bridge today just shows that despite all the shit media and opposition fans say about us, the guys going to the Bridge are classy, special and have nothing with plastic stuff. I also believe they represent the majority of this club's support.

As long as Arsenal exist in the world, no matter how bad things for Chelsea go, there's amusement guaranteed for a lifetime. Weren't they at the top of the world, being at the top of the league (second only by GD) and smashing Bayern? Oops

but he's smart to know what he needs by his side. Look his XI's team... it's the kind of presence he needs to operate on his best. Everyone can see it, maybe except some of the people in charge of our club.

that's the level of our so called fans nowadays. They say all kind of shit about the manager that got them more than 50% of the club's league titles in its history as if respect was a complete foreign concept to them. They call all players all kind of names, including cunts. I don't know if people lack respect themselves, character or what else, but it never ceases to amaze me the tone some use in their posts. And don't come to me saying it's about passion, heat of the moment. Those vomit comments come every time of the day, day in, day out, so yeah, unless they're on constant PMS, don't blame it on emotions. We rightly deserve being called the names we are by opposition fans when I come across those kind of comments. Actually deserve worse, but I have enough common sense to know a few internet guys don't represent the majority of the fans and also to understand opposition fans come from a very bitter place, but I feel ashamed by some of the things I read here. Not only as a Chelsea fan, but as an human being. The values in our society are quickly being thrown in the trash. respect will soon be a word that people won't really comprehend the meaning anymore simply because they now grow up saying whatever they want on internet and will slowly bring that to their real lives as well. It's downhill from here.

Fuck

At least Mourinho can still read some things right. He gestured Mikel was off because he had a yellow and unlike Lucas, another soft foul would without a doubt assure him a second. Tbh right now we look much better

Fabregas can't do worse than Oscar did, can he?

Kenedy's one minute = more done than both Oscar and hazard 58 minutes

Kenedy coming. 15 minutes too late to say the least

because he has been stopped with dirty fouls every time he tried something sharper. But well, I think it was very good. Everything he could have done.

I can't stand watching Oscar anymore, can Mourinho make a sub before 65 mark? Stop with the fuckery

in that case I think your expectations are delusional. Just because we sucked in general, it doesn't mean he wasn't very good. He was. Like I said, he can't do everything by himself. Oscar and especially Hazard looked TERRIBLE and Costa didn't have service. That's why it looks dire, but saying that Willian wasn't very good looks like you expect us to play like Barcelona or our players to be Messi... to each their own.

Oscar came a little bit better, but gosh, it looks like he moves in slow motion.

Wililan was very good. Both pressing, defending and in the attack. It's unfair to ignore his display But what can one player do all by himself in a whole team?

we need to improve years light to finish 6th

he can have his wakeup call in the bench. one between him and Oscar have to make room for Kenedy. They've been both awful, but as Hazard is more attacking minded (and positioned) he's damaged our attack even more. Oscar has barely been involved (also a fault) and failed when he was.

mine too. There's a clear as day change in the way the team plays five minutes after taking the lead. Frustrating, annoying, infernal!

in my defense Cuntterburg should have already finished the first half when I wrote it

I know Should have resisted. He's been worse than Hazard today... and that's saying a lot, but well, there's his wonderful goal he's known for.
