bushman 2,043 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Bit early for such a statement like that.Not in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,232 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Not in my view.We haven't seen Willian play, Schwarzer hasn't had a sniff, Schurrle wasn't great against Everton but worked incredibly hard in previous games, we haven't seen Van Ginkel properly and whilst Eto'o missed chances against Everton surely we can't judge these a failure after one game?

I judge Jose´s summer dealings. Too many players for too few positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many players for too few positions.He only made one net signing in the AM positions as Moses was loaned out.If Jose is gonna be labelled a failure in this window, it''ll be probably due to the lack of signing in the CM department and not due to the abundance in our AM front.

Fernando 6,608 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I remember them during the EL last season. They where a really good team. So I would remain very cautious about the team.

Mour admitted that he will have to keep some players unhappy this season. Its not like he's gonna keep on rotating the squad every other game just to keep the players happy.But its always nice to have squad depth especially at the business end of the season.Besides Chelsea are a big enough club to have 30m signing on the bench.p.s. I still believe Willian was a big Fuck You to Spuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe Willian was a big Fuck You to Spuds Well, players are happy if they perform. To have 2-3 players not even dressed for the game, it makes no sense to me.I realize, Chelsea can afford to have overpriced players around. What is he going to do with Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, KDB, Schurrle ? As I said, this summer transfers are clueless, I feel. If one adds it all up, close to 60m spent. A couple of these players not bought, Chelsea could have had Cavani of Falcao. Then, we could have seen some scoring touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree more on the striker scenario, and we did pay for that at Goodison last week. But as far as our attacking mid is concerned, its always nice to have options on the bench.We could play 4 midfielders in one match( 3 starters + 1 sub) and it leaves just 2 disappointed. If Jose can get to play either Oscar or de Bruyne as a lesser advanced player( or even in the pivot), things are gonna get straightened out ( Don't tell me that is gonna leave disappointed players who plays in the centre...we truly lack a serious quality partnership there)Also if Mata can't get his shit straightened out before January, he's as good as gone. I really hope that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yep. Matthew Harding Lower. Right behind the corner of the goal where Luiz's goal went in. Unbelievable view of an amazing goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
