Ollie 4,400 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 hes only got a good record because he doesnt have a bad team to chose from does he lol. I could lead that team to the top 3 and get to a carling cup final. The players were there already. It would take an absoute genious to make that Chelsea squad shit. Hes got it easy.

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) I've given him a chance.Thought hmmm he might get better as he did then up pops a big game and he goes and does something crazy! Course he'll be here till May but hoping Roman will see sense and get rid of the bloke mean ffs he is still getting his coaching lisence!Yet you had a bloke who had a sodding lisence and was proven to win trophies,spoke his mind so you got rid of the bloke! Got no confidence in the bloke.At 1-0 down its like ahhhhh.With Jose it was meh half time etc or he'll throw a sub on and change it all,even at 3-1 that time thought 'yeh he can get us back into it' With Grant he's so bloody unpredicatble Grant just arg when he stands on the touchline he has no presnece,just seems to be doing it for the sake of it.

Statistically yes, but realistically no. And as for the players still having the desire to win, even thats debatable now imo, looks more like they're just going through the motions and can't wait to see the end of this season tbh.

Ollie 4,400 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 well we have Barnsley to get to a semi and olympiacos to get to a quarter, 2 significantly lesser sides so even tho we're not playing great and things are not all well behind the scenes, its still looking quite good in those 2 tournaments regardless. Anthing can happen, i still have faith we'll win one of the 2 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misschief 24 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah, except we didnt exactly overwhelm the significantly Olympiacos last time out. I'm not saying we wont beat them in the return, but there's a lot better than them who won't just sit back and defend. And as soon as we meet Utd in the FA Cup that'll put an end to that cup.

PaulHopkins 1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I haven't got a great deal of confidence in us getting 2 if Olympiacos score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If we can't beat Olympiacos then when Barcelona come calling, they'll have a field day. Thats providing we get through, which looks a huge ask considering its 302 minutes of European football without a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Then what about the dismal displays against Liverpool and Olympiakos? If Mourinho was still at the club and hadn't have left, he certainly would have got the boot following such a display - though Mourinho wouldn't allow such quality to perform so poorly. Its because Grant is RA's friend that he is in a job. No other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,539 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 When Jose was here,we go 3-1 down you felt confident.Now Wednesday looks eeeek. And exactly!He'd blasted them at half time made changes and changed it around.Grant just stood there tum tee tuming as usual,standing up because he's seen others do it and doesnt do anything when he does stand up! Its not one bad result thats annoying its the way it was done.And plus against the top teams he aint got a clue.When it comes to subbiung he aint got a clue.He's gotta get a lisence for christ sake and he got put in charge?!

Steve 10,227 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Chelsea manager Avram Grant has conceded he knows he must win either the Premier League or the Champions League to remain in his position of manager at Stamford Bridge... Two weeks ago, the Blues — domestic cup specialists in recent years — were out-thought, out-fought and outplayed at Wembley against Juande Ramos' resurgent Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, succumbing in extra time to a Michael Dawson header, having been pegged back by a Dimitar Berbatov penalty in the second half after leading in the first through a Didier Drogba free-kick. The capitulation, the lack of tactical nous or would-be urgency from Grant produced a plethora of merciless criticism from the moment the final whistle sounded. Many have been on their toes waiting for the Israeli — who has lost just four times since taking over from Jose Mourinho as manager — to slip so they could prey on the charmless antithesis to their 'Special One', who is loved now in equal measure with which he was loathed during his time in England. For Grant and for Chelsea, the worst was yet to come. Though the Blues first contained Olympiacos in a goalless affair in Greece before bringing them back to the Bridge to crucify them 3-0 in a fashion most befitting of Grant's reign: efficient, with no signs of extravagance, exuberance or over-exertion, they then contrived to crash out of the FA Cup to Barnsley. Within a fortnight, competing on four fronts as they had last season has quickly been whittled down to two — and it's the two they've looked least likely to win, at that. The last eight of the Champions League is a magnificent place to be; but with Grant's primary weakness as a manager appearing to be big games, the future is less than bright. And though their consistency in the league has been admirable, Manchester United and Arsenal have remained a cut above Roman Abramovich's club throughout the season, with few looking at the title race as anything other than a two-horse race. The Barnsley loss has compounded Grant's misery and there have been rumours of a crisis meeting held at Chelsea's training ground by Grant to get to the bottom of his side's failure. Meanwhile Roman Abramovich — who could only bother to watch such sub-standard opposition on television — was 'incensed' at the manner of the loss, according to a source close to the Russian billionaire. Grant, who left the field on Saturday to choruses of Jose Mourinho's name, admitted: "I will accept it. When I am responsible for the team, and when my team loses at Barnsley, there will be many negative things said about it. On the other hand, we have two major competitions left. I am concentrating on them, not other things. But this is a massive disappointment. "I'm the manager and I'm responsible for everything, It's very sad because we'd played so well in the last week. This team has shown they can play good football. They did it against West Ham and Olympiakos, good teams. The team that played at Barnsley, even though we had a lot of injuries, was good enough to win." One man who has leapt to the defense of the under fire manager is new signing Nicolas Anelka, who contests that a first eleven consisting of ten internationals are to blame instead of the manager. "The tactics were right and the criticism should be aimed at the players," said Anelka, who started at Oakwell but failed to live up to his hype. "It is not about the manager, it is the players. We have spoken about the Champions League before and we will try our best to win it because, when you look around the dressing room, we have big players. I think Barnsley will be forgotten if we win the Champions League." Former Barcelona and now Chelsea assistant Henk ten Cate, who was brought in seemingly upon the request of Abramovich, who wishes to create his own Barcelona at Chelsea, has also been under pressure as of late, as he was involved in a training ground bust-up with club captain John Terry. He is also feeling the pressure, voicing his concerns over the level of expectation in English football's top tier: "One bad run of results and you're out. You just can't afford to lose here. I came to Chelsea because I was looking for peace. I wanted to work at the top level and at the same time I was looking for peace." With the Premier League looking a tall order as Chelsea must face both Manchester United and Arsenal in their remaining games, one thing is for sure: all Blue eyes will be on the Champions League draw for the quarterfinals this Friday, with Chelsea no doubt praying to avoid English counterparts, and instead drawing the likes of Schalke or Fenerbache. Though Schalke and Fenerbache, to their credit, are champions of their respective countries, while Barnsley are not even leading in the second tier of English football — so who knows.

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 2arses fucked up yesterday if we had a decent manager i'd say we've a very good chance of winning the league, and maybe just maybe the CL as well. but with this gormless cunt there's no chance of winning anything, the only good thing to come out of this it probaly means the end for the thick cunt. regards:JBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
