iva starts.

cesc on the pitch but pedro subbed and cesc plays as a RW. cos he is so super fast and he can cover so brilliantly for iva, right.

almost cost us the match and people are praising him for a comment?

We won. Isnt that the most important thing? Or is the moaning aspect what you enjoy the most?

we won against WBA. wow? should he get a noble prize for that?

i guess iva and cesc did not disgrace and embarass us enough at etihad, that we want more proof of their incompetence.

sorry, for not enjoying the 3 points when our problems our so glaring even at the start of the season.

We lost there 3 out of 4 times. Yea its a big deal. We lost against a great team in Man City and Swansea game was like today. Just as we get some sort of rhythm going we go down to 10 men. So relax, its not all doom. Get Ivanovic out the starting 11 and we wont be doing so bad.

exactly thats my point. why was iva in the team. if iva was not dropped after the city game, then when will he be dropped. since when do we have to see our manager's stubborness and ego keep costing us?

you are jumping out the plane way too soon. I know you don't really mean most of it and are just venting, but come on. It's clear what the problem is, and I doubt Jose is going to let it continue for much longer. He does show loyalty and faith, but only for so long. He'll deal with Ivanovic.

But I think what's holding him back is the thought of losing both JT and Ivanovic in the same season. That's a ton of experience and character. But he'll have to address it soon. He subbed JT off at the Etihad, and I think that was a warning shot that no one is untouchable.

I give it a few more games.

I think if Baba was ready he would have played. Only trained alone this week.

Cesc was left out there because he keeps possession. did you not see that we had more possession and ended up winding the clock down with Hazard and Cesc passing it around.

And Cesc also provides that quick outlet ball, which he did for Costa and Falcao.

Jose has got a massive task on his hand regarding our back four.

I think his brilliance masked how weak that department of our team was before he came, but that can no longer hold up.

We lack serious pace with both Terry and Ivanovic in the team.

I think Ivanovic is too slow for RB but maybe just right for a CB pairing with Zouma.

It's either that, or we move Fabregas up and play with Mikel-Matic and be extremely defensive and hope for Fab and Hazard to create that one or two moments of brilliance for Costa and Pedro to put into the net.

What is clear is that this squad as it is can in no way shape or form play expansive football. It's just too slow at the back.

It's only the 3rd game of the season and already Matic is looking winded from having to cover for every single mistake. He are going to burn our the most important player in the squad if Jose doesn't get this fixed. Come on, man. Do it once more for us. Make this bad situation into a strength.

Probably based on that thinking and the fact that Chelsea don't have but one top CM, Matic was the MVP of last season. But, yes, running on one leg in midfield with weakness at the back. Chelsea don't retain the title unless there's someone else coming for CM and the back four is changed this year. You can't expect Matic to be everywhere; he'll be run into the ground before too long. I have to say that ManCity gave up the title last season while Kompany had fitness problems. Chelsea weren't impressive in the 2nd half of the season, but players like Matic, Azpi, and Terry helped us eke out the title while we lacked scoring.

Need changes.

Yes it may be frustrating seeing Ivan on but changing to Mou out because of that is very extreme.

Mou has his frustrations yes; but it would be nothing compared to having a Scolari Mark 2 in the dugout.
