[didierforever 7,349]

lets start the worst player in the PL currently in every match - check

lets make the worst player in the PL currently as our captain - check

lets play a player who cant tackle for shit in our midfield 2 after being exploited by every team - check

lets play the same player as a DM - check

hopeless from jose. absolutely hopeless. if this is not favouritism then what the fuck is?

i am sorry but this is unacceptable. disgraceful.

There is no way he can come out and say we were the better team blah blah..

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

I want to kick that smile of his face. Go blame the ref again. This cunt is just embarrassing.

That sub might have saved his job...for now.

Hilarious how he avoids the sacking talk due to Ramires suddenly scoring one of the best goal of his career and Willian lucky cross...

It just papers over the crack though, we all know the issues are still there and it will exposed again soon enough.

[Barbara 15,149]

the players have been ridiculous, their lack of intensity, heart and even commitment has been painful to watch, but Mourinho shows exactly the same starting those guys.

Get Ramires (can't believe I'm typing it), RLC, Willian in the team and get rid of those guys.

He took only JT away, and I'm positive we wouldn't have conceded those two goals if he was playing, when he even wasn't our biggest problem.

Hazard has been a big joke, but I understand why he's kept. But Matic, Fabregas, and one from the front have to go to the bench.

Remy was toothless, but Falcao is even worse. Oscar did little in the first, and nothing in the second. Pedro got this contagious disease we have.

Mourinho should give other players chances as the ones he's been giving haven't answered.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

If he was as good setting up this team as he is dissing Wenger, maybe we wouldn't have 8/21 points.

[zolayes 14,489]

expect the PC to say we dominated the game deserved much more ,, but notice our fighting spirit ,, Wengers teams never come back from 2 0 down to get a draw .

[kobematabryant 400]

I don't normally post in here but it is funny how people criticised those for criticising Mourinho as being knee-jerk and plastic etc based on 3 wins against 2 teams who are not on our level and a game against Arsenal where we got lucky because of the man advantage but now back to square one. People have to realise criticisms coming at Mourinho is fully deserved. Another game where we have failed to kick on. Worrying.

Seems like you spoke too soon.

He is gone yet?

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

He has to go his run out of ideas

To be honest 90% of Ramires goals are great ones, so that was actually a regular Ramires goal.

I just hope this means the squad will be strengthened. This mentality of relying on a strong, but certainly not exceptional, first XI with average/decent back-up has ruined Chelsea's ability to play at a high level for a full year and ability to compete in all competitions.

Apparently Mourinho can't even rotate when a player is completely out of form. Out of form players trump the options on the bench. How is that possible at this level?

That's the result of terrible management and I can only hope it will be fixed.

"Best manager in the world"

[CMS 382]

he already answered it in another PC.

They noticed the players were battered too soon last season and thought it was because of extensive and too early pre-season. They tried something new, didn't work, time to move on.

The thing is players were drained because there was no rotation. That's the problem he should be addressing, but I won't judge them for the pre-season option. The calendar IS TOO FULL, having a shorter and delayed pre-season is sensible, the thing is, others aren't doing it, so we pay for that. Now we have to see if we prefer to have this kind of start and have the players healthier - if it proves to bring that at the end of the season - or if we're going to continue to do business as everyone else.

Also I think physical condition and health are different things. The players were tired, and that came because of lack of rotation. We picked too many injuries in the second half of the season and that could be improved with this new option.

Personally, I wouldn't change pre-season like we did this year, I'd keep like it has always been and would just try to sign players that allow us better rotation and I'd also like to see Mourinho being more flexible about the players we do have, because even if most of our bench stunk last year, they'd probably look better if they played more minutes than they did. I think his squad management last season was barely a 6.

not true. The season before we also had post-season tour - remember the City matches? and there was the WC and we still started pre-season around the time every other team did - a bit early than many of them actually.

Thank you Barbara, I tired to tell him in so many words.

Mourinho's selection has to be questioned yet again. He keeps persisting with the same players (his favourites) that have been at fault or haven't delivered this season (Iva and Cesc being the main culprits) and they're costing us dearly. RLC not even being in the squad today left me in shock.

[didierforever 7,349]

would not have mattered if we had won the game.

enough is enough.

you cant make the same mistake again and again and again and expect things to get well on their own.

and since jose does not seem to able to accept his mistakes (cesc and iva) and correct them, i am not fine with us becoming an arsenal. its chelsea football club. not jose football club.

enough is enough.

if he cant make the changes which even a 2nd grader can see, i am sure we can find people who can.
