Scolari

[Laylabelle 9,409]

Man Utd have three home games in hand, will means us being 2pts behind them in third because its unlikely theyll drop points against Fulham, Wigan and Boro.

And we still have to play then so could be more then 2 :S

God defo needs to get it sorted and tear up at his defence!If we had let one in like that with Jose he'd gone bloody mental and made sure someone was on the posts and yet second time we've done that and its cost us both times

We defo lost a huge help when we let Clarke go

And also annoying..the team we used Thurs worked so why rotate? so much!It didnt work for Rafa and its not working for us!!

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Whoever we have working on set pieces in training seriously needs to consider the option of having someone on the post(s). A few times this season I've picked up on this when we've conceded goals from corners especially. Bordeaux was another game when we lost a goal from a corner with the same problem. Theres been a few others as I can remember posting in the match thread at the time.

If I can see this then surely Scolaris backroom team have picked up on it. If not they need a good slap. Its costing us points.

I agree :thumbsup:

[Laylabelle 9,409]

Bleh!!Get working on fucking set piece defending!!!!

We have yet to beat a top side and yet to win a derby!

I think honestly as well keeping Stevie Clarke would've helped!!He knew what he was doing!

But why again so long with the subs?!That goal was coming for ages and one from us clearly wasnt

End of the season and he's gone I reckon

One thing that bugs me about Scolari is not perhaps his choice of substitutions, but his timing. Yesterday, it was clearly evident that Southend would put us under pressure in the last few minutes, but instead of bringing on a midfielder or defender he brings on a winger and a striker for 6 minutes! What effect can that have on a game?

Totally agree every time Scolari seems to make a sub he always makes them at the wrong time or ineffective subs that do not seem to help us in the game, he needs to get smarter with them, or we need Clark back to help out around the bridge.

We need to face up to the fact Clarke and Mourinho wont be coming back -and the club has fucked up royally by getting rid. Abramovich has paid the price for wanting -''more exciting football''.

Why oh why are we weakening the squad by offloading Bridge at this juncture ??

Scolari seems quite unconcerned in press conferences -all the ''oh well'' bollocks and ''This is football''.

Rapidly losing faith that he cares at all....

Haha i no this but lol im aloud to wish , and yea im losing faith aswell i will stick by him until the end of the season but he really needs to get our players motivated and we really need to start getting points onto the board.

If we havn't improved by the end of the season i dont want him here next season.. he aint got a clue

he will improve, its not just him -what has become apparent recently was the lack of belief and desire, which with the last two games has returned.

That said -Large Phil is no spring chicken, cant see him being round for long, so who would people want instead, hypothetically ?

At the moment for me David Moyes would be the best. Knows his football inside out, can match the other Merseysiders easily with a whole squad that costs less than two liverpool players.

Knows how to motivate better than Ferguson imo.

[bombayblue™ 55]

I can still see him around a couple more seasons and in that time frame a lot of managers can carve a niche for themselves..

Till the scolaaaaaaaaariiiiiiiiiiiiii..

[Fulham Broadway 16,977]

Carving a niche alright, with a great big Nought, for no trophies.

I have major concerns. With one point from five matches against the Prem elite, Juventus must be licking their lips.

Wins against the mighty Southend, Stoke, Ipswich and Boro has given Large Phil a reprieve, but when hes says things like ''Liverpool is a must win game'' and yet plays the identical front three when liverpool won at the Bridge, you have to wonder at the blokes sanity.....

[Matterz 67]

1 point from 5 games against Liverpool, Manure and Arsenal is just not good enough by any standards...he cost us our home record, has added nothing in terms of improvement to an aging squad except bringing in Deco who is alreadt past it.....hasnt got a cluehow to coach in England or Europe and should be sacked at the end of the season...this is clearly not the man to take this football club forward

[Laylabelle 9,409]

If we end up in 2/3rd place I'd say give him another season.Give some dosh,an Asst manager who has a clue and see how he goes.

If we end up 4th or outside then bleh.No excuse.We've got the squad to finish high and thats what we should be doing

[bigbluewillie 1,868]

well after yesterdays debacle 0-0 to the mighty Hull City.

they've got to sack Scolari now...why do we start with anelka? then when everything's going wrong he sends on the The Drog nothing there's wrong with that but who does he take off the one man causing Hull problems Quaresma.

Scolari is clueless, even Grunt manged to get the same players to perform, look at the injuries he had to contend with but he still got us to two cup finals and finished 2nd in the league, not bad i think in your 1st season of Premier League management, but where are we going with scolari we're now struggling to hold on to 4th spot, the final insult is going to be finish 5th or even lower and no european football or even worse the eufa cup.

btw this is also after the scouse cunts result match witch leaves us now with 1 point from a possible 15 against man ure, the arse, and the scouse cunts.

Quaresma was lacking on match fitness - don't forget there is a winter break in Serie A (at least I think there is) and he hadn't been playing in the first place. That was why he only lasted as long as he did.

[Laylabelle 9,409]

Didnt seem to bad considering hopfully carry on

And plus he had seemed to take a slight knock so that also think was why.

And Drogba usually well used to cause defences problems so not that bad..just didnt work as hoped

Seemed another case of we could play all night and still not score.So many chances went wrong side of the post/just over it werent just gana happen and not really Scolaris fault just not a good day

Hmmmmmmmmm

not scolari's fault! who's fault was it then?

"just not a good day" when was the last time we had a good day with him in charge, it's been a long time since i've seen a Chelsea side in this poor form, it's down to his poor team selection, ridiculous subtitutions, and tatical nieveness...........me i want him out now and get in Martin O'neil or as someone else said David Moyes, look what he can do with limited resources.

becuse this Toby is just going to drag us deeper and deeper into the shit, i want him out before the juventus game.
