BlueSunshine 672 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Big big call from Mourinho, which i really like. He left out: Matic, Hazard, Oscar, Falcao and Remy. Let's hope he won't receive an even bigger call from Roman after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 has not convinced? what matches were you watching. he had a couple of poor moments but he was quite good. in attack he was brilliant. with no hazard he would get more cover and would be more protected. i am sorry, but its not about baba, it is about iva or rather jose's stubborness or rather idioticnes.No offense, but I think you're blinded by hope.sorry, but the sheer volume of people saying the other thing should be proof enoughSorry but the selections of the manager should be proof to the contrary.So we're not able to drop Ivanovic because we don't have a suitable replacement. Funny because the player replacing Hazard isn't fit to lace his boots.Willian? Willian has been consistently better than or at least on par with Hazard since April. You're also comparing an experienced highly rated player with a LB from the German league with no experience in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 He dropped half of last season's starting XI, how about we see how it works out before you re-board the Mourinho out train.and yet the biggest culprits stay in the team. why dont u stop being a jose fan boy and look at things objectively.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Play 4-3-3 or at least change formation. Stupid 4-2-3-1 has never worked for anyone and certanily wont work for us worked for Ancelotti's AC Milan, but not for Chelsea. after all those millions spent, there was never a great front 4 for that 4231 at Chelsea.

Ainsley Harriott 2,732 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Still Iva is the regular starter and Baba has done nothing to displace him yet. It's not about IVa, it's about Baba.He has however had a couple of chances against weaker teams and hasn't convinced. Ideally you'd wait for him to settle in a bit more and hopefully do better against weaker teams before he is given a chance against a decent team. Last year it was Luís who couldn't defend, this year Baba isn't ready.... All I know is that after spending nearly 40M euros (!!!) on left-backs who apparently aren't good enough, our right side keeps getting penetrated harder than a pornstar.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 @choulou I would rather have JT at RB than IvaI understand the sentiment. I want Iva out of the team as well. I've been saying that for THREE full years now. But I also understand that practically we can't do that at the moment in any important match. As much as I love JT who is my all-time favorite Chelsea player, he would be A LOT worse than Iva at RB as he'd be beaten for pace every single time.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 and yet the biggest culprits stay in the team. why dont u stop being a jose fan boy and look at things objectively."the biggest culprits" you mean Ivanovic - I agree. But Baba doesn't seem ready, he looked dodgy defensively against Tel Aviv and Porto are 5x the team they are.Oh because you're being so objective, if being intensely miserable for months on end is being objective then I'll fuck that idea off thanks very much.

All I know is that after spending nearly 40M euros (!!!) on left-backs who apparently aren't good enough, our right side keeps getting penetrated harder than a pornstar. I completely agree. And I was against both deals from the start. Our board and Jose have royally fucked up in addressing this issue in the transfer market and hold complete responsibility for the disastrous situation, but right now the window is closed and we only have the players on our rooster.sorry, but our recent results should be proof of how wrong our manager has been. It's the same selections that won us the league comfortable last season. The issue is clearly well beyond that and cannot be laid entirely on Jose and certainly not simplified to team selections of the RB position.

Adnane 1,101 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 JT in the center and Zouma at right back, surely can't do worse than Iva. Sorry but nothing justifies selecting Iva and benching Hazard Matic. This is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Terry would nt stand and watch and he is a LEADER ,, something BRANA ISNTHe is but that's not enough. He needs to have the physical and technical attributes to play the position and he simply does not. Cech was a leader but I wouldn't play him as a striker...

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Skip forward, if Ivan is benched and Hazard plays this weekend because of today's decisions I'm thinking most will be pleased. .You do realize that's not going to happen right ? If it does yes maybe depending on the result I just hope these things don't add up to hazard considering other options outside of Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
