zolayes 14,489 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If only we had some squad depth to cover those positions saw the bench City had today .. ok they lost but I remember our bench from 10 years ago, Pundits then reckoned our second team would have been abovemid table , That is a measure of how far we have regressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this isn't some sort of dumbass cycle we're going to get stuck in. Spend big 1 summer, then peanuts the following summer & repeat. killer1257, The Mak, zolayes and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted September 16, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted September 16, 2015 There was BANTER and it does look like a lot of dressing room problems there, doesn't it?Seriously, I don't believe we have dressing room issues or players turning against him. Unhappy players is normal in football, if you don't play you're unhappy, if you play bad and lose, you're unhappy. that's not a big deal. I hope things are fine within the squad and we just have to solve the tactical and technical problems.

ZOS 580 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 If he axe Costa, Terry, Iva and Matic, he is showing his balls to all players.This doesn't tell us much. If he does this for the arsenal game, it would be interesting. killer1257, Styles, Azul and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Our play has been so scripted and readable for so long it's hard to see exactly how, and when it will change. I certainly can't see a grind out 1-0 result coming anytime soon due to defensive frailties, and nor can I see a 2/3-0 win coming anytime soon either.Players have been massively under-performing but in all this JM is culpable for simply not dropping these players who have under-performed for weeks now.Jose, you claim to be 'The Special One' lets see why, and lets see some 'Balls'what have i just read?

Leif 6,006 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've more fond memories of the season we finished 6th with Mata & co. but actually played good football with passion to absolutely everything I've seen under Mou. I was a child and the only reason I wanted Mou back here was to feel the allure everyone else talks about. He's a great celebrity but an overrated manager. The best managers give you more memories than just lifting trophies & their tongue in cheek PC's.They're inventive & they entertain. He's been neither in almost a decade.its good to finally get this shit out and not have it sound out of left field lionsden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been neither in almost a decade.its good to finally get this shit out and not have it sound out of left fieldthe year we finished 6th was when we won the CL, and no we didnt play good football that year. I didnt enjoy getting battered 4-1 at Anfield or 5-3 against Arsenal at stamford Bridge, or 3-1 to Aston Fucking Villa at stamford bridge, or being embarrassed by Papis fucking Cisse at Stamford Bridge!Most of my favourite ever games have been under Mourinho, Beating Barca 4-2 in 2005, Beating Man U 3-1 at Old Trafford in 2005 after they gave us a gaurd of honour, beating Bolton 2-0 to win the League in 2005, beating Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield in 2005, beating Arsenal 2-0 at Highbury in 2005, beating West ham 4-1 in 2006, Beating Man U 3-0 in 2006, beating Arsenal 6-0 in 2014, beating Man U 3-1 in 2014 and winning 2-0 at Anfield in 2014 the list goes on.So if you prefer us finishing 6th playing the odd good game and getting embarrassed most of the time then thats up to you, you may not have good memories from Jose's time here, but most Chelsea fans do, our PL campaign in 2011/12 was simply horrendous if you enjoyed it then good for you. kellzfresh, CurlyHairLikeLuiz, Kieran. and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 If Baba gets MOTM or something (even if it is Maccabi) and Ivanovic still starts against Arsenal...I lose an awful lot of confidence in José's mental stability when he continues to pick Brana.

Tbh Ivanovic is not our only problem, but our team's biggest problem is the number of goals we are conceding and Ivanovic is the huge source. Hopefully he gives fabregas an earful for forgetting how to create chances with passes straight to costa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched their game last night in complete awe.I watched the game aswell, and tbh I wasn't that impressed with PSG. You have to take into account that they played Malmö, who could be compared to a mid-table championship team at best.That said, Maccabi aren't much better so lets see how we fare tonight, altough our form suggest we'll probably struggle..

Special Juan 28,140 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 A draw with Rosenborg was final straw for Mourinho and Chelsea eight years ago... with the Blues in turmoil on and off the pitch again, will history repeat for Jose's flops?Lol the lost their minds.I am not going to beat around the bush here, and full respect to Maccabi, but if we get anything less than a win tonight I think it could be the last straw. Our season start has been fucking awful, more points lost tonight is not even thinkable for me, and I fear for Jose if we don't get past these without 3 points.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I do think we'll win tonight it won't be a walk in the park but i expect us to win. But this awful start begs the question how many more bad results are acceptable to the fans and the board?. Three defeats already and if we lose on Saturday well the pressure will be seriously cranked up. The January window is usually to bolster squads as all marquee players are illegible to play in the Champions League. So what does he do? well he's sort of painted himself into a corner. Keep playing the utterly out of form players like Ivan, Fairy Ass, Willian etc or on the other hand start playing some youngsters which he never or at least seems reluctant to do.I'm not here to praise or bury Mourinho but his lack of foresight could well be his downfall. And if there any truth in these rumours about banning banter (surely not!) Well it's a little dictatorial to say the least and is even worse then A.V.B's bizarre request that everyone embraces him after we score.

DANILA 290 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 For chelsea, this is a 5-0 type of game. Unfortunately with our form, any win will be OK, and will hopefully boost our team back into winning ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
