A good change from Mourinho's shush. 😁

Haha I've realized. @Strike kept me updated, but keen to keep an eye on the forum more.

My sabbatical has taken away my display picture.

truly a religious experience watching that game.

Belief. This one is ours.

what a moment to choose to go the Bridge. Happy for you man!

Haha I just fuckin realized. God damn, it's been a long time since I changed it. I put that up after a tactical master-class, and it looks likes nothing has changed.

Batshuayi just has to start. I don't see any other way. Hopefully, we also have Alonso back. Go through here, and Southampton can have it in the next.

haha, I actually feel like that's my favorite.

What a game-plan. Absolutely terrific. It's been a long time we set out do something this solid on the pitch. The 3 at back actually looks very feasible domestically.

Would love to see Kante, Cesc and Matic featuring with Oscar being sacrificed. Moses for Willian as well doesn't sound too bad to start with.

I don't think he'll win the League immediately. I expect a very open race between the the usual three with new managers. Leicester will drop off eventually and Liverpool-Tottenham will be in the mix. Jose will eventually get his hands on the title, his ability to retain and repeat success over a longer period is a purely subjective matter for all of us. I don't really think anyone can predict whether he has learnt from his mistakes or not, cause the trend got pretty alarming this year, enough for him to notice. If he has, then sky's the limit for him. However putting to much thought into him and his side than they deserve. With a confident side under Conte, we should be aiming for the title next year.

What an unforgiving year.

I don't think Ivanovic should be a nailed down contender for the first team spot.Chelsea could and should do much better than him, especially in a spot such as right-back, considering how much we try to shift it to the wings. But right now our hands are tied at the back considering what the situation is, atleast Hiddink's is. He can come in and either stick with what he thinks he is right or experiment with Baba. In a time like this where interim managers come in, reputation often precedes any other characteristic, especially considering how Hiddink would love to play the "Old Guard" card and stick with good ol' term of experience right now. The fact is Baba could do much better than Brana or he could do much worse, as an interim manager Guus wouldn't want to take risks. Simple thing to do, is wait until the end of the season, lay down our priorities and chase a different way of how we want our defensive line to look like. Also I'm pretty sure when Alex said "Form is temporary, class is permanent" kind off pushes the reputation agenda, something, which I say again, carries more importance in the current climate.

There was no need to take the high horse really. You have an opinion, you just got to agree to disagree. We are all Chelsea fans, what are you going to get by questioning our ambition when everyone here wants the club to be successful. You think X should play over Y with Z reasons, good for you man, your opinion back it up. Others have their reasons too, which surprisingly to you has been backed by two managers who have a history of winning ( atleast so far) , why so much hostility.
