Yes I'm a Mourinho fanboy And I'm proud of it! He is the best manager in the world! The best manager this club has ever seen in charge! Accomplished so much lifted so many titles! He was is and always will be the best till' the end of times! It's interesting to me where were you all Mourinho haters when we were beating teams and winning titles probably in you're rat holes just waiting for you're chance! Well Yes now you got it! And I see you're blasting you're hate all over! It's easy to kick a person when he is at his lowest laying down But remember this that kinda of form will not continue for long andt hen I will be laughing to all the haters when we start winnig again! Yes he has big ego! But it's inevitable, when you're so successful to have one! Any great manager had one! So Yeah Mourinho FOREVER!!!!

In our lifeline, Managers will come and go ... Players would come and go ... Not the club ....

We all are Chelsea fans and everyone who doesnt perform or does stupidity will always be criticized no matter how big they are ... like wise they will be taken on the shoulders for all the good thing that is been done ... So please be a little humble, we havent achieved anything yet this season it is just a win ... And stop gloating on the past thats behind us!!!

Poor first half, much much better in the 2nd half.

Let's pause on the 'JM was right, he's not ready' narrative. Ivanovic has committed far more crimes this season, that have cost us points.

It's like people don't want Baba to do good. Don't you think that at 21, Baba would learn from his mistakes unlike the 31 y/o?

Jeez.

none of this would have been a problem if we kept luis

mourinho try to keep Luis but Luis wanted to go back to Madrid

Mou fanboy no#1 has spoken.

Dude, all i've seen from you today is not accpeting any logic and calling Mou's fanboy whoever disagrees with you. Get a grip.

Let's just say you have different opinions, let's leave it at that.

The interesting point imo isn't whether Jose was right, but the fact he at least wasn't as wrong or crazy as the Internet claimed (tc included).

Can you really blame Jose for his choices knowing he sees this kinda defending in training? His reasoning was sound: in 2-3 games ivanovic will get his shit together - and imo he has already - but baba may take a lil longer.

Bear in mind this was against the terrible Aston villa at the bridge - imagine one of the tough away games Iva struggled with.

Yeah but if he was playing games he would have stayed. That was most important reason why he left.

I can see people's point that he's young and needs games to improve, but I also agree he's far from an improvement to Iva. They're on the same level in 1x1s if you ask me.

I saw this from Baba against Walsall, against Maccabi and now against Villa. All three VERY VERY VERY weak oppositions and he still made the same kind of mistake.

One team is from Israel league and that says all you need to know, the other is from whatever lower division in England and Villa today showed one of the worst performances I've seen recently, and given I've watched all Chelsea matches this season, it means they were really bad...

So people defending him saying he's adapting to the league, will say what when we look to the other two matches? He went through horrible streaks and decent streaks in all three matches and people think is just a big coincidence, or that he hasn't had enough minutes, or whatever else?

I think he has big flaws to his game, and yeah - kill me Mourinho haters or whatever - he's small. So being small, limited and prone to errors, especially on 1x1 isn't any improvement to Ivanovic. But I do agree that at least he has a ceiling over his head and Iva only has the descending years of his career ahead of him.

All in all, one of the biggest problems we have in this squad is lack of decent full backs. Only Azpilicueta counts as one and as much as I want youth to be developed, if Luís didn't displaced Iva, it won't be Baba who will and Luís is a hell of a FB - who struggled his first months here, just as Baba is - but lately wasn't played simply because José didn't dare to rotate.

I will have been waiting with compare with Iva to 15 games as Baba with will start. Iva just shows his skill in this number of games...

the reason Luis wasn't getting on cause Dave and Ivan were outstanding last season this season Ivan been awful I wish he hada stay now

Apart from the first 10 or so games Ivanovic was pretty bad imo

I wouldn't say pretty bad, it was a slow burn towards the bottom rock. He was getting worse and worse, but I think we've only seen the very worst at the end and then it carried on to this season. He continued from where he stopped.

Yeah, normally he's on form at the beginning of the season but he's not even giving us that anymore.

I really don't see any reason for keeping him in the squad anymore.
