No, we will not let ars at top of the table
Hahaha

got meh?
what i see still the same

that goal was just lucky

Oh well, the better team won.

Jose Mourinho this season is the specialist in entertaining the viewers during the last 15 minutea of every game. It make people preceived the team is at least trying really hard to get something.. Why not, it saved him from being axe and get some fans excited with some positives note. Next week? Same old Chelsea.

A performance worthy for relagation.. But it was blessed by the fans. Why? Because this is the first time JM is having a slump in his career.

Keep blessing the manager and player for this kind of performance.

players can give more to the team but not with the current manager. some human responded well to criticism. at times, it makes them perform well. but not many can stand criticism after criticism, plus the very low morale to stand up and make a change in the next opportunities.

for me, changing the whole squad is really not the solution, except for some 2-3 key positions. most realistic without seeing anybody leaving is to change the way the team is playing.

the way i see it, some players are given too much freedom and creativity and at times, these players did not connect well. fabregas, hazard and at times, willian and matic. time and times again i've mentioned, matic need to keep it simple with his gameplay. i know he is an assest with his mazy runs etc, but with the morale of the team is very low, keep it simple, prioritize defending and controlling the midfield, protect the back 4. he got the stature, but opponent are running rings around him...

then we got hazard-fabregas-costa as the team's goal-getting combo. why this is not working? for me, these 3 guys are confuse during attacking play. costa was there as an outlet in the box for one-twos etc but at time, due to the slow movement of the ball, he went out wide to free some space. why not utilized him to the most? while other team sees their CF as a realistic outlet to move the ball into the box, we at chelsea sees costa as just a runner to attract defenders and create space for midfielder!

as lampard mentioned.. something really need to change for the betterment of the team.

First thing I'd love to see is him following through with his declaration that players are at fault for this disaster. When he proceeded to give loftus cheek a start vs villa and kenedy at leftback (can't remember the opposition), I was jumping for joy,because I believed this is the way he's finally starting to do things differently.there were supposed to be bruised egos all around,with senior players chomping at the bit to get back into the team.

Unfortunately,that change never happened for more than the odd game or two,and jose will revert back to the very players who've lost their way. I think certain seniors have sniffed this out and are quietly confident jose is all bark and less 'bite' with his empty threats,hence they're not afraid of putting in successive pathetic performances. At the end of the day,the gaffer's too afraid to drop them for more than a match and his stubbornness isn't hard for all to see. Iva's instant return to the team when he got back from injury is a clear example of a player who's practically 'betrayed' jose from day one,yet would worry more about catching a cold rather than being dropped from the starting 11. Just look at his embarrassing attempt at a 50/50 challenge that lead to bournemouth's goal. If that's not betrayal of the highest order I don't know what is mate.

But the important question probably being murmured in hushed tones around the dressing room Is,"what makes these untouchables so special?"what gives players like Iva,cesc,matic,costa,hazard,etc, the divine right to start practically every game without others getting a look in when results have shown their not cutting it. This is quite possibly the biggest issue tearing at the heart of the squad,which all points to undeserved preferential treatment and certain players taking advantage of the whole situation. They just know jose will recall them for the 'big' games,and they practically have nothing to worry about.

The hardest question which is probably making the board sweat bullets is whether jose's capable of turning things around before season's end. If he's given that much time,will we end up relegated?right now that looks a real possibility because I sense some players have stopped responding to his methods for whatever reason.

Therefore the relegation 6 pointer (who knew we would actually be using that term ) game vs sunderland will be a do or die for us this weekend. Jose must follow through with his declaration that certain players have betrayed him,and drop them from the matchday squad altogether.

I agreed, Mou just don't have the guts to completely cut off those underperformed and give youngsters a chance to keep the momentum running. If the youngsters make mistake, so be it and learned from it. As it is now, youngsters are demotivated as they know once the senior back and off they go on the substitute or worst, not on the list. The worst is they knew, come Jan reinforce and they will down the pecking order as well.

Fire Mou now won't help either as new manager come in, all the seniors will performed suddenly cos "New Manager, New System and No Favourite Players" that can last 1 to 2 season only but hiring New Manager now already too late to charge to top 4. Roman must tell Mou, if top4 out of reached, use this next 22 games to groom young players and sold those underpreformed and keep the wages low. Start afresh next season with young, hungry and dangerous players fighting for honours.

why conte?  and pep is out of our reach, i dont think he will ever come to chelsea. and GH

Anybody at Stamford Bridge during our boxing day match? I will be going alone as brother doesn't want to follow.  Haihhhhhh

Must win game vs Palace....cannot afford to drop 3 points anymore. Even a draw is not acceptable imo. Getting stuck in a relegation scrap is the last thing our beloved club needs.

Also, when is that Teixeira fella gonna come ? Desperate for reinforcement, we need to bolster our firepower/attack. Oscar's a total liability/waste of space, Matic lost his footballing brains and Hazard shooting blanks. Very happy to see Costa on form again, but we still need to add something new to motivate our extremely stagnant attacking play.

I would rage if Iva plays vs Palace. Confirm he will get ripped to shreds against those pacy wingers from Palace. Why is it so hard for Baba to get a game ? Surely he wouldn't be as bad as Iva. Why buy a player when you don't want to play them ? I really cannot brain our transfer policy sometimes....

Keeping faith in Oscar will always be Mou's biggest mistake ever. So much faith, in a very inconsistent player who plays brilliant for 1 game and then shyt for 10-15 games.

anyone here remembers our Marko Marin?
[attachmentid=5809514]

really wasted coming to Chelsea
have been loaned all over the place..look back when he was in Germany, always played 30+ games/season, now he's thrown here and there, everywhere..
why would anyone treat a talent like that
