manpe 10,861 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Even in Carling cup where all the big teams are playing with their "B" squad we lost with our first 11 once again. Kenedy, Traore, Baba, Zouma RB, Mikel, Remy.... hardly first 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobematabryant 400 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Whoever succeded in making this a legitimate rumour deserves a promotion.Right now at this current state, we shouldn't be going for managers without PL experience. The English league is such a hard league to adapt to and with our current state, it's even worse. This is why I disagree with getting Simeone, Pep or any other non PL managers. Just look at Klopp for example, he is struggling already at Liverpool. But if this was the start of the season, I wouldn't have an issue of getting a manager from a foreign league. Slutsky, on the other hand, is a very talented underrated manager. He has gotten the small club of CSKA to Quarters of CL twice, won CSKA the title many times with a squad not even worth the amount Hulk was bought for. Plus, he made Russia qualify for Euro 2016 from a very bad state Capello left them. With this being said, I wouldn't want someone with no PL experience at this moment of time. Though, I would like to see Slutsky in the PL one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Kenedy, Traore, Baba, Zouma RB, Mikel, Remy.... hardly first 11. Kenedy, Traore, Remy haven't even started? Zouma was RB at our last PL game so yes he is first 11 since Ivanovic is injured. Mikel started because Matic was suspended. Only Baba than .. one change and our best performer was dropped (Azpi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel started because Matic was suspended. Only Baba than .. one change and our best performer was dropped (Azpi) Okay, if we are going merely by starting XI, then yes, only regulars Azpi and Fabregas were rested (not dropped as in punished). But for a big chunk of the game we played with what you can call a B-team, we finished with them and it almost paid off. When two premier league teams meet each other, it is a myth that everyone except Chelsea uses fringe and young players. For example Arsenal played against Sheffield Wed with only 4 non-regulars (some of em possibly playing due to injuries knowing arsenal) and still got shafted bad. We played Stoke at the Britannia and almost made it, Jose did good with team selection from what he had to select from. kmk108 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,375 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Definitely think there would be backlash towards Roman if he sacks him again. Mostly because whoever got appointed afterwards would be a step down.If it were the end of the season and Guardiola was appointed straight away I think everyone would accept it.

Far more important things in life to worry about than Chelsea football clubAs I've stated on here before...........The great Liverpool manager Bill Shankley once said "Football is not just a matter of life and death...It's much more important than that" That says it all for me :blue scalf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
