RDM Sacked. Who's next?

What's this shit? I don't want him here. The thing is, he worked with a team like 'Barca', as in the all time cheaters who gets away with every fouls and has somewhat creative players. I won't say 'Pep did nothing..and.. it's the players who deserves the credit.' But if I was to sum things up, Barca is still going strong without him. Bringing him as the manager will hardly show any difference. I don't think much of our shaky defense will change.

It's Matty who saved us from drowning. It'll be a 'fucking disgrace' if Abramovic sacks him. It'll truly be a shame.

FFS.

First of all people need to stop thinking of attack and defense as 2 separate things. You attack as a team. You defend as a team.

For example, when we lose possession we don't press we just drop deep. Doing this with Hazard and Mata isn't smart. You want them to have to defend as little as possible and get them on the ball as much as possible. Having them defend the way we do creates a considerable weakness.

I think bringing in Guardiola would change everything. High defense line, pressing the opposition, playing out from the back, a deep lying playmaker in the pivot. He would change the way we attack. He would change the way we defend.

Also about your "i won't say..." part. I think people have forgotten how Barcelona played before Guardiola was manager.

They were a good team but nowhere near as good as they are today. Guardiola introduced the heavy pressing, the false 9. Guardiola perfected the system. He helped develop Iniesta, Xavi and Messi into the players they are today.

The man deserves respect for what he has done and yes so does RDM but if your not the right kind of manager, your not the right kind of manager. Plain and simple. No amount of respect will change that fact.

About the article:

Guardiola already made it clear he doesn't wanna coach a team until next season.

So unless Roman decides to torture Guardiola by shoving his head in ice cold water and screaming " Say you'll coach my team in January ! Say it !!" I don't see Guardiola joining us in january.

[Reddish-Blue 2,506]

We'll see what happens at the end of this season.

If RDM can lead Chelsea to a top-three finish, the latter stages of the UCL and a potential domestic cup trophy, then he should stay on board.

If we seriously screw up this season..then Roman will have a decision to make.

You spoke my mind sir. I've always believed that our squad this season is not built for territorial defense. Last season our team was able to defend with its back to the wall and they seldom cared about what the opponent does with the ball in its own half. It worked perfectly in our favor because the players were groomed to play that way since the days of Jose Mourinho. They had a good sense of position, great deal of endurance and focus to keep a highly mobile and unpredictable attacking teams like Barcelona and Bayern at bay. That is not the case anymore. Our club has spent in excess of $100 million to bring in creative attacking midfielders. I believe Pep Guardiola is the best candidate to make this young talents world class players around whom we can build the new chelsea team.

What ROMAN's method are you talking about??

Doing what he thinks right to keep us successful, he has sacked 6 manager's and 5 of them have turned out to be spot on in hindsight, so in future im going to trust his judgement.

[LayZ 201]

I think the article below is worth a read...apparently in his recent biography of Guardiola, Guillem Ballague has discussed Roman's desire to bring Pep to the Bridge at length...

Link to the book - Pep Guardiola: Another Way of Winning: The Biography

Article -

In a newly published biography of Pep Guardiola, the Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague spends a surprising amount of time writing about Roman Abramovich.

It looks like his method but i doubt he wants to change managers every season or so! anyone who knows about football will tell you how important it to have a long term manager!!

David moyes with everton, Martin oniel with villa, if only they had money they would've created a legacy like sir Alex, and that my friend is what u have to understand. Period

Martin O Neil has got money at Sunderland and look where that's getting him. How do you know Moyes will be good with money? he's great at building teams at a limited budget, how do you know he won't fail like Allardyce when he makes the step up.

As i said if there is a manager who can come here and work long term then im not going to complain but there is not many of that brand any more, i would wager that unless it's Mourinho or Guardiola, Fergie's successor at United will at best last 2 years.

Well ure acting like we shouldn't search for it!! Tht Romans way is to keep sacking managers!! Which is totally wrong, we have been looking for the right manager since Mou. So what!! we haven't found one, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try looking for one!!

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Roman owns the club and his decision is what matters.I just really hope that Pep decides to go to Milan instead of trying his luck with us.Robbie just doesn't deserve to get sacked.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

7 in 9 years or so lol!

Jose shouldnt have had to change style to please the board. He shouldve been able to do what he felt best!His sacking made no sense and we have suffered for it. Stablity,finacally and we have a bad reputation that soon lead to managers not wanting to take the role. Why come somewhere where you may have 2 years tops.Someone already has said they wouldnt wana come here as they dont want to damage their career

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm giving him more time before i judge, a few more games.

I had a dream we lost against Sunderland last night, that's nothing i know, but my gut just doesn't feel right about this season. I'm not being negative it's just when i look at the squad i see so much vulnerability in it, especially at the back and midfield. I know we wont contend for the title that's not the problem, my problem is i can see us having another failure season, one where we really under perform. It's been too long for that shit now, way too fucking long.

God i fucking hate november.

If your going to set up a team in a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 or 5-2-3 or whatever it is we are playing like Inter did in that 3-1 game, at least demand they fucking press the ball. Basically sitting so deep that they can fucking do what they want with the ball. Robbie won't last if we don't qualify for the last 16 in the CL too...

[Henrique 9,133]

I really dont know if he is the man to take CFC forward, but I'm more than sure than he wont be the man to do that.

Its not only pressing the ball, you need at least 1 clinical finisher up front. Neither Hazard, Oscar or Mata are 'clinical' in front of goal.

No

Well i think that RDM will eventually be sacked after tonight's result,i feel that this was his last chance to save his job.He deserved the chance he was given to be our manager this year but i just don't think he is the one who will take this team to the next level.We have so much raw talent but we play like shit.All those who blame individual players for our performances are ignorant,we are just not a team and someone needs to change that.I doupt buying a single player will solve this so as much it pains me to say so the only viable solution is to get a new manager.

[Leif 6,006]

Our players won us the Champions League last season - not Di Matteo. Why can people not get that in their heads?

I don't like this "look what he did for us last season" rubbish when there's talk about whether he's good enough or not.

Drogba. Cole. Cech. Terry. Lampard. Mikel. They won us the Champions League. Even players like Bosingwa, Kalou etc. They had such a drive, want and will to win the trophy - and they did.

Not because of 'tactics'. Out of heart and determination.

All respect to Di Matteo as a player. He'll always be a legend at this club. But he is going to damage his reputation if he continues to be manager here.

We have shown zero progress under him. Only one game this whole season had me thinking we were actually moving forward, and that was against Arsenal. Upon reflection we didn't actually do that much different vs. them. It was more about them being poor than us being good.

Give any real top manager our players and we'd be top of our group, no doubt.

Di Matteo won't mould our very good players - Hazard; Oscar - into top-class players.

Take sentiment out of the equation.

List just 3 positives that he's shown since the CL win which not every other manager would show in his position.

[Danelka 209]

I don't know.

Although we are supposedly playing a very attacking, "sexy football", we have scored less goals so far in the PL than one year ago at this point. Our attacking movement is basically non-existent, we are RANDOM, its personal brilliance, not teamplay (which would be the sexy football) which wins (or lately, not) us matches. Also, since our emphasis is on attacking, we concede cheap and ridiculous goals, and we can't fucking keep a clean-sheet to save our lives.

So, we gave up our defence in order to put the ephasis on attack, which is not really working..

Also, Robbie has been found out, with the exeption of ManUre, we have been rudely outplayed by big teams (Atletico, Juve x2, Shaktar x2).

Thats a bit rash, because I believe RDM played a huge part in the UCL glory.

But I have to agree. We are not making progression, and his tatics today proved that. We always played with a CF, and then he tried this new thing. Actually we are not looking like a team, game after game, it seems we rely on the talent of Ramires, Oscar, Hazard and Mata.

When you look the fixture, we will have a lot of games between November and January. The squad is really small, today we had no CB in the bench, and you put a tournament in Japan in the table, I'm think I saw this movie before...

Althouth we are supposedly playing a very attacking, "sexy football", we have scored less goals so far in the PL, then one year ago at this point.

I don't think Robbie is an out and out attacking manager, which is what we need if we want to see the best of Hazard, Oscar, Mata on a consistent basis.

He's a good manager but he's not the man to take CFC forward..cause we seem unable to find the correct balance between attack & defence.
