The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Am I missing something? did we park the bus with Di Matteo this season, the season which RDM first showed us his style?

Forget it mate, he'd rather attack Barcelona at their own stadium with 10 men.

Well, since Chelsea management bought offensive players & DiM was told to play different style of football cos Roman was not happy about his previous one..the result, he was fired cos he did not do well, then. Perhaps, an offensive style is not for him ?

Nonsense, most of the world reacted to his sacking with shock and anger. Well maybe not shock with Abramovich but his style was getting us results up until the united game. if we stuck with him i'm pretty sure we'd be in a better position then we are today playing some damn good football. If style matters to you so much go and support arsenal (a team who we bettered aestethically under RDM) and there trophiless club or barca. because if it is that perfected tika taka barca style your looking for then forget it, no club has ever played like that before and hiring Guardiola wouldnt of changed that. It's a long process but under rdm we were making progress, using his rash sacking as an argument is almost laughable.

Dude don't waste your breath - he's a windup merchant

Plus he can do one liners - but can't back his shit up

That's why he lives in the bush ALONE no fucker likes him

One big dribble all the way. People were mad cos he won CL, then was sacked. The team could not have continued with him. He is responsible for Chelsea being out of CL now.

Also, I would appreciate if you refrain from telling me whom to support.

Would we of been in the UCL with him? Patience is a virtue and in the long run there was no reason to doubt him being able to bring success to the club. We were in transition and if we waited a little I'm sure the style you wanted couldve happened with success. A month before his sacking we were top of the EPL and were playing great. infact our losses happened after the united game which was a disgrace and the mikel row. a little patience from roman and maybe we couldve got back to winning ways and of progressed further with the style.

That is a perfect analysis of Bushman

There is no such a thing as hate here. Just pointed out his stronger ability to administer certain style of play.

His style of play give us Champions League and FA Cup trophy, konichiwa bitchez.

[Joe Cool 388]

Once again. I do not like that style. I never ever wanna see Chelsea playing some park the bus.

You are completely clueless. When did you start supporting us, 2009? If not, then you have an incredibly short memory because that's how we won our back to back titles, by getting one or two goals, and then sitting back and playing solid at the back for the rest of the game. And without our "parking of the bus", we would have never had any chance of beating Barca and Bayern, two sides who were incredibly superior to us offensively, so what else were we supposed to do than try to play ultra safe? Your point is a load of bollocks also because this season, we weren't even parking the bus, we were attempting to play the beautiful, attractive football that Roman so desires. It wasn't "parking the bus" (which we weren't even doing) that that got us into trouble, it was the fact that we kept conceding stupid goals, so I have no idea what you are trying to get at, really.

That is a perfect analysis of Bushman

Cheers

I know we fell out over RDM and Roman - but I'm man enough to say I was wrong...

Giving Benitez a chance hasn't worked out for me, I'm really angry, RDM was certainly no worse and if anything could have been better. The only half decent thing I give RB credit for is Luiz in midfield - I did like that

Fans divided over a stupid appointment - hope the Board learns a lesson...

Reading back on this thread i love how user's get insulted for giving their own opinion.

I remember when their was a couple of members who wanted Ancelotti out back in 2011, and they were branded as "plastic" by some who want Rafa out now, double standards? i think so.

Are you missing are few brain cells?

He bought us back into the CL numbnuts.

He bought the players, the club and the fans the greatest night of their lives.

Right now, I don't think the team would be worse off had RDM not got sacked.

Let me tell you something here. Hopefully, you will use your pea brain a bit.

DiM helped to win CL, FA for Chelsea. Of course I was very happy, then.

However, his park the bus tactics against Barca & Bayern did not sit well with me & many football fans all ever the world. Are you with me ?

That´s all I have to say about it.

With the players we had last season,parking the bus was the only way we could win the elite competition and I can't see that being a bad thing.At the start of this season,we played some amazing football,the Spurs game could be a prime example but then we hit a long run of bad form and panicked a bit.If Roman had given Roberto some time,I am sure the Italian would have gotten us out from that bad patch and resumed the terrific start that we had.

Sticking with Rdm would have been better but no point contemplating about that now.Roberto Di Matteo is a Chelsea Legend and thats all we should be talking about.

Am I here to dispute his tactics of last season? No, I am not. I just did not like it. Read my postings, then write.

Would have DiM gotten Chelsea out of the mess of this season ? That´s debatable. Obviously, the management did not think so. Therefore, he was fired.
