Socur Toxanarosa 145 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Our problem is very clear, lots of mediocre players, even they were good at a point: Oscar, Willian(good season, still a mediocre player), Pedro, Fábregas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmk108 1,186 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Let's reverse it, you think tactics that swept the league last season all of a sudden don't work anymore? I'm not saying Mourinho is not to blame, of course he is, but the biased and absolutely naive way of thinking that everything will be fine and we'll be playing like Bayern, as soon as Mourinho goes, is not just short-term but straight up dumb. Look at the games this season, analyze them, we're creating tons of chances - those chances are created based on Mourinho's tactics - but we're missing sitters, amaterus would score those, now tell me honestly, is it Mourinho's fault? All the stuff about Fabregas and Ivanovic, they are not that bad, people just jump on the bandwagon and dig up meaningless statistics to rubbish our own players, we should be behind the club, not whine and moan all the time. Things have been improving every game, despite the results. What chances are you seeing? We're only ahead of Villa in terms of chances created from open play by 1 shot. That's right 19TH PLACE in the league. We're controlling the ball a lot more, but it's not leading to chances. It's leading to wasteful passes that turn into counter attacks for the other team.Edit: my mistake. That's goals scored, not shots. We're in 7th in shots per game, still behind most at the top.

Changingman_2000 876 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Andy Jacobs on talkSPORT today, said that for the first time in his life, he wants Chelsea to lose against Porto, because that will throw us into the Europa League where we have a better chance of doing something, and if we win that then we are back in the Champs League, he also thinks that the defeat will signal the end for Jose. We can all sit here and cry foul because we should always want our team to win, no matter what, but he does have a very, very good point, on both counts.

It's truly shocking that it might be the best thing for us - UEFA need to sort this out. I think we should go for the win and see what happens, if we end up losing and going out, so be it. One year without CL football might be the wake up call our board need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman60 1,343 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would like to see us win this one, and win with flair, enthusiasm and free flowing attacking football...............Who am I kidding? It's a long time since Chelsea played this type of football.And looking at it realistically, we wont win the CL or the EL this year. Not playing under Jose anyway. We couldn't beat, or even score against an injury ravaged Bournemouth side, so what hope against the cream of Europe if we do beat Porto????????

chelseawise 115 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We have simply lost the plot. We need to rebuild. Jose has to bench Ivanovich, Febregas, Matic and Costa. Oscar at best belongs on Bench. In any case it will be a blessing to loose this game and try to win Europa as that is the only way we could qualify for CL.Since this season is a write off give chances to Traore, RLC and bring on Musonda.

AWorriedChelseaFan 151 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Lol, I thought the game was today xD. Dreading it now tbh, the game when Kiev beats Porto was because of a Casillas's howler. United and Le Arse are having to dig themselves out of their own grave as well, things are certainly not looking too good for England's hope in Europe.Anyway, I hope someone knocks some senses into Fabregas, Costa and Ivanovic. All three of them have been disgraceful this season, while Remy/RLC is just sitting on the bench waiting for their bloody chances... If we play this game without a proper striker, Mourinho are definitely deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizacar 93 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I just dont understand why mourinho makes a fuss about rlc lack of defensive acumen when fab is just the same. Wudnt want to wish my player ill so instead of fab getting injured I hope he gets a red card soon so rlc can play. Dont understand wehy the fuck fab plays week in week out. He is the cause of matic dip in form . Also wish we had david luiz the mif2ffielder next to mastic. Jose really fucked chelsea up by selling luiz lukaku mata for cesc and costa. They are both lazy spanish fucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah. You wish. Honestly why bother with listing these non-Mourinho type lineups. You just know Ivanovic and Fabregas will most likely start. And if we are playing with a striker up front, it's gonna be Costa.I know [emoji30][emoji30] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
