Barbara 15,149 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 So weird to see that bench: Oscar, Hazard, Matic .... DamnIt is, but all three have been really bad at Chelsea so far this season, so I understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Jose dug a big hole, one he might not be capable of getting out, but no one can say he isn't trying or changing. He might not have what it takes to make it work again (not saying he doesn't, just a possibility) but he's definitely trying.he is trying by playing our 2nd worst player of the season for 90minutes every match?

Barbara 15,149 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 he is trying by playing our 2nd worst player of the season for 90minutes every match?I'm not saying he isn't making any mistakes, I'm saying he's trying. After he dropped Hazard, I think he might drop Cesc if he doesn't improve.People keep saying he doesn't touch his untouchables, but so far this season he's been touching them a lot more.I do agree with you Iva is our worst performer, but I don't think Cesc is the second. I think the way we've been playing exposes him even further. He played another level for Spain, Mourinho should admit to himself that playing poorly as we've been, especially defensively, playing Cesc makes us even worse, and that's why he should be benched, but I don't think Cesc is the problem strictly. I think the problem is how bad we've been playing and that makes him even worse. Cesc works only when most of other things are working too. I also believe with two B2B behind him he won't compromise at all. But I understand everyone who believes he should be benched too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcs most wanted 657 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 he is trying by playing our 2nd worst player of the season for 90minutes every match?Well he benched our best player because he was out of form. He knows that Fabregas isn't in good form but if you take him out our team doesn't have any pass quality left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Jose dug a big hole, one he might not be capable of getting out, but no one can say he isn't trying or changing. He might not have what it takes to make it work again (not saying he doesn't, just a possibility) but he's definitely trying.He's lacking in inventiveness for me. Always the same shape and approach. If he steps outside out of the box a bit, it's always in an attempt to nullify (Ramires on the wing, Zouma in midfield). I'm quite disappointed by that to say the least.P.S. His aversion against real fullbacks drives me insane.Even against an opponent like Villa I don't feel confident in seeing a good display. But I guess that's too much to ask for at the this point. A mere win will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mere win will do.That's why I said he might not have in him what it takes, what I mean is that he's trying. He isn't being stubborn as people label him (which he is, but not now), people don't recognize him for trying, but he's been trying.I don't think he has aversion against real fullbacks, I just think he's limited in some of his views, he's had teams with real fullbacks more often than he hasn't, much more IIRC all his teams here, at Inter and Real. But I do agree he's normally trying to nullify.I don't think he benched Hazard today to offer support to Baba. He could just ask Willian to play there and move Hazard to the middle if he felt like protection was required, I think he benched Hazard because he's been awful. People were asking him to bench him just weeks ago (then there was international break) and using his lack of action on that as Mourinho protecting his untouchables. You won't read the same people asking Eden to be benched to praise Mourinho for now doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite understandably the Everton - Utd game being broadcasted over here instead.you don't tell me, it's the first time in many years (definitely over than 5) that in Brazil we don't have a Chelsea EPL match being broadcast, especially now we have two different channels with the rights to EPL, but one of them showed Liverpool earlier and the other is showing both Manchester teams live, no Chels.

Parky 739 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Cesc should have been dropped with Matic and RLC in the centre. Hazard, Willian and Pedro behind Costa. Fkn Jose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
