The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

I'm not too sure about that. Spurs travel to Fulham and Newcastle away at Everton. Possible

But the possibility of them both loosing is much less than the possibility of us winning with this lineup*.

fair enough. all depends on tonight

[magic weeds 446]

we needed to take our chances for 4th place. With Arsenal travelling to Westbrom, newcastle to everton and spurs playing home to fulham, all of them might loose. We need to win tonight and next week and we go 3rd.

Insignificant game.

Said before the start of the match that I could care less about this match. We won the FA and now to focus on the CL.

Wonderful. I don't want to hurt our captain, but It's a joke what Terry does in this season. This weak Liverpool beats us again.

I heard someone saying Di Matteos record in the PL isn't much better than AVB's

Anyone got the stats, including tonights match?

won 4

drew 3

lost 3

I think that is it.

I was content with the squad. I think it's a wiser decision to gamble on the final than try to play our luck with 2 remaining games hoping the other 2 slip up. Probability would dictate it's a better shot to try and win the 1 match which would guarantee the CL place than win 2 and still not have that.

A fair gamble by Robbie.

can't see the CL final not deciding RdM's fate

Anybody else very disappointed that he did not sub Terry?

For me this was an occasion to show that he has command of the locker room and that he will bench any player if they don't perform. Terry was having a shocking game, he should've been benched simply put.

This is a concern for me, i feel he is too much of "yes man" to effectively manage Chelsea in the long run.

Subbed for who? Hutchinson? He would've been ripped by Carroll in air imo. And we were lacking leadership as it was, without Terry we would've been even more disjointed imo.

He was abysmal, and caused two of those goals by himself. Easily the worst player on the pitch, and the effort he gave was the worst part about it. He was getting nutmeg left and right.

The effort he gave was unacceptable, and at least Hutchinson would have tried harder.

As much as we all want Hutchinson to start, have you actually thought that the reason he isn't starting or playing is because he hasn't recovered fully from his injury problems?!

In 2nd half Terry wasn't that bad anymore. Actually the whole team picked up a bit and the only reason we conceded then was because of Ross's moment of brilliance.

Exactly 3-1 is not as bad as 4-1 as soon as you let in a fourth goal its all " demolition job" headlines
