The Hiddink Thread

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Because of his amicable relationship with the Chelsea fans, his appointment might go some way appeasing the die-hard Mourinho supporters who will cry for mutiny now. I don't know if he still got it tactically but from that perspective he might be nice choice. Our goal this season apart from getting far in the CL and winning the FA Cup is however limiting the damage and keeping Hazard no matter how bad fans think his attitude is. And Hiddink will play a key role in that too.

I am confident that Hiddink will take us far in the CL and ignite a climb up the PL table with top 4 being no surprise if it happens. There's no dark clouds and toxicity anywhere around that man.

Hiddink says there needs to be a rebuild towards the future and the board want the promising youth to get more opportunities. Could be a perfect partnership. Maybe even more of Papy and Baba.

We need someone like him in our board.

Please bench Oscar, Ivanovic, Fabregas and Costa. Thats all I want! Get the likes of Kenedy, RLC and Baba in there!

Love that he's bringing in DD. Eddie Newton has moved up to AM as well now. So that'd be DD, Eddie and Steve as AMs. Excellent.

Reading the club statement, which is very carefully worded, I'm not sure Steve Holland is included in the plans??

Have you seen Oscar yesterday? He was the best

Have you seen Oscar yesterday? He was the best

Have seen him the past 3/4 years? The most inconsistent player that I have seen.

He has been given enough chances tbh.

We played some good futbol with him in 09.

But it's been a while and I don't think he has it in him.

Yet it sure is good he's keeping a good staff to help him.

And if we can be a bit of an attacking team then it should make the remainder of the season fun to watch.

Who knows we might pull a miracle and finish 4th.....

[bababoom 4,478]

Pressure off, we're not going to get top 4 (well it's unlikely), so hopefully he can gets us playing some enjoyable football again.

I finally managed to finish watching the 08-09 season review.

Fantastic memories. Besides the good performances and the great results, what I've noticed to be stunning during Hiddink's tenure was his post-game reactions. He was calm, spot on and absolutely decent whenever he had something to say. With all due respect to mr. Mourinho, this club really missed a little bit of decency.

Welcome back and wish you all the best, Guus.

Preparations for the post-Mourinho era are underway, with Hiddink confirming talks with #Chelsea legend Didier Drogba over a return. [Mail]

I wonder what formation hiddink will play?? I hope its 4-3-3 with Matic RLC Ramires has the midfield trio

Guus Hiddink confirms plans for Didier Drogba to return to Chelsea in coaching capacity

Last time around when he took over from Scolari he switched the 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1 so its likely there wont be a formation switch.

Just going on the fact that Steve is staying behind and not going with Jose, so I think that means he's obviously still reprising the same role he's already in.
