Filipe Luís

What a travesty. He's been nothing short of superb this season. Good enough to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title and also to make it into Champions League semifinals, but apparently not good enough for Chelsea because of Mourinho's paranoia, constant favoritism and genius tactical ideas such as the fact that Azpilicueta has to play there to cover for Terry's lack pace and other horse shite. Fuck off

Now on this i agree with the lot of you, was stupid not to play him last season. The guy is a class act.

Poor man's Ivanovic

So two players Mourinho sold are in the CL semifinals after playing HUGE roles in their teams wins. Good job, Jose.

You forgot about Torres

You gotta laugh to stop yourself from crying about the situation tbh. 

Wonder who was advocating for KDB/Felipe Luis/ to play back when they were with us? And each just launched their respective teams into UCL Semi's.  ??

I can never let it go, when the amount of talent deemed 'not good enough' was so obvious to thee untrained eye. This wasn't just 1 or 2 that got away, but like freakin' 5/6 players that should be contributing to our success right now. 

The talent was literally oozing out of the lot of them.

Come on guys, Baba Rahman is obviously better, no? 

In seriousness, I have to agree that we made many appalling transfers. Such things essentially cancel out the brilliant signings of the likes of Fabregas, Costa and Willian.

What a performance last night! MOTM for me by some distance

 

Oh, and for those trying to rewrite history, the problem with this 'hindsight' of yours is that apart from a few glimpses Luis never actually impressed playing for us despite getting many chances and even long (6-7 matches) runs in the team and he was consistently outperformed by Azpi at LB. He just was never able to replicate his Atleti form with us.

He needed more time to adapt, Mourinho with his short-term vision had no patience to wait. And despite the numbers, Luis was in and out of the team, mostly out when he could and should have been in. It was favouritism, Luis had no chance, because "11 Azpilicuetas can win you the CL" - after such comment from Jose you know the player has to retire for anybody else to get a look in.

Mourinho's decision making looks even more pathetic every single day. Hate him.

Buying Salah instead of Griezmann also counts ?

Why should he have been in the team when Azpi was objectively consistently performing better? 

He played in 26 matches last season, including a run of 6 or 7 matches in November when Azpi was suspended for 3 matches in the league and Jose decided to keep playing Luis in the cups and CL as well. In that run he made several costly mistakes and generally failed to impress so Azpi was back in the side the moment he returned from suspension. 

I really don't get how that was 'short-term' vision from Jose. In what sense? His decision was to give more playing time to the younger player who was consistently performing better. 

And there certainly was no lack of patience from Jose on this matter as he kept giving Luis chances and playing time till the end of the season despite failing to displace Azpi. If anything, it was Luis who lacked patience because he decided to go back to Atleti after just one season instead of giving himself another season to adjust more and try to win a starting a place.

It's all about Jose could  drop Ivanovic and play Luis and Azpi. But for some reason(which i dont get) he would rather played Ivanovic who became warts and worst.
