Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Pellegrini's an asshole but he's not as terrible of a manager as you're all making him out to be. I would be interested seeing what he could do here. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would love to see Guardiola as the manager, but it seems he is going to City. Despite the manager, the club must buy big in the summer. Coaching is only a secondary role if you got the right players. For me Chelsea's top performances came under interim managers: 3-2 against Liverpool in 08 UCL semi-final, 3-1 against Liverpool in 1st leg in 09 UCL quarters, and tha infamous 1-1 against Barcelona. Chelsea was the strongest side for the whole game, and it wasn't a case of parking the bus the whole game. Its really depessing to imagine that game was decided by poor refereeing decisions, but when we just remember those teams, specially the 09 one, with a mid trio of Essien-Ballack-Lampard and Malouda-Drogba-Anelka in the front.

And if his 3 centerbacks system will work in the EPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 In Chile they say Sampaoli will be a free agent starting tomorrow and he admited today that he sees EPL as his next destination. We should be all over this, Sampaoli is a genius, probably the closest thing to Guardiola right now (together with Paco Jemez IMHO). If Chelsea is in for a change than the best thing to look into is somebody like Sampaoli (assuming Guardiola is off the market)- he's not unidimensional, likes to challenge his players, favours attacking football (obsessed with it should I say), likes to rotate a lot, he's flexible with his tactics. Hopefully this turns into something more than just a rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,948 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We need someone who is highly experienced in Europe and has managed (at a high level) in a top league. Someone who will immedietly command our star players' respect and someone who can attract top recruits. The Chelsea job is too big for Sampaoli I think. He's the kind of manager that needs to take over at all club first and earn his way to a big club like us. Could see him getting sacked in a single season here.

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Whoever it is, is going to get the sack around this time next year. That or at the end of the season. We should just hire 4 or 5 managers and rotate them. Essien19 and stroey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish top 4 the board would be okay. What is not okay is to be 1 point above relegation in December. kellzfresh, Tomo, Stats and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had one and look in what mess he's left us in. Maybe it's time for a change, a complete turnover in our club's mentality. Someone creative, spontaneous, romantic, with new ideas, new tactics, new approach. I for one I'm bored of this 4-2-3-1 tactics and all the shitty, old cliches such as "wingers have to come back in defence at all cost", "we need to make sure we're rock solid at the back before we go forward." etc. Sampaoli is clever and imaginative, I'm sure the players will love him. He challenges the players and plays them at their strenghts, total football, attacking football, lots of intensity. Players do not accept you or start to doubt your ability once you bring nothing new to the game, except for the usual things. They all know the basics, you just have to bring something new. That's the difference between Mourinho and Guardiola - one guarantees you instant success, but you get bored of him in two or three seasons once he can't bring nothing new to the game, the other brings both success and entertainment and no matter how long he's been in a club, you simply want more and more of him. And Sampaoli is in the mould of Guardiola/Bielsa, mad tacticians always looking for new ways on how to keep the ball for most of the time, how quick to recover it, how many players to bring in attack. That's football nowadays, total football belongs to the big teams, counter attacking football to the smaller ones. Chelsea FC one of the biggest brands in world football must play the right way. kellzfresh, jernej93 and bethos1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I want Guardiola, think it'll be Simeone, wouldn't mind Sampaoli at all. Been following his work at Chile for a while and he's an amazing coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Chile play is fantastic though, team football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like for example will he tone it down a bit against teams better equipped to play attacking football than us? Ie Arsenal, Barcelona, City? What is his Chile team like from a defensive POV? Last thing I ever want to see is a repeat of that 5-3 against Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, AVB came too early. We pulled the trigger too fast on that, especially after only one season. There's a lot of one season wonder managers, we should have waited to see how they do in the next season and just kept Carlo. That was an appointment too early as we wasn't ready for that, but today I will favor such an approach. 2 hours ago, Tomo said: Is he quite stubborn in his ways of attacking?

But if I'm not mistaken at times when they played against Brazil and Argentina they took a more counter attacking approach. Can't be sure about this but that's the way it seemed to me....
