Ashley cole

It has never been a secret that Abramovich aspires his team to play like Barcelona which is partly what led to Mourinho's sacking in the first place I think. But he soon found out that it is very difficult to achieve both playing beautiful and success.

In other news...

This is what 5 Live presenter Garry Richardson said:
Let me tell you what I know on the Chelsea story. My information comes from a Chelsea first team player.
'The information was actually passed to me by a football contact. I was told that Jose Mourinho's relationship with many of his players is at rock bottom.
'I was told they're fed up with the way he's been dealing with some of them. They're fed up with his outbursts. I was told that his relationship particularly with Eden Hazard was under immense strain.
Here's a staggering quote. One player said recently, "I'd rather lose than win for him". Now that last quote may well have been said in the heat of the moment, but it perhaps gives an insight into the mood of some of the players.'

As we know, typical tabloid stuff very likely to be bullshit but IF this is true though it speaks volume to how unprofessional "some" of these players are in making Jose the scapegoat. These so called "professionals" must be held accountable too if the manager is to get the boot.

This post has been edited by Cloud0890: Nov 1 2015, 09:35 PM

it is hard to trust this kind of information..but from what i've seen so far on the pitch..players tried their best at least with their current capabilities..

if this report is true..then..just fk off from chelsea..he clearly do not understand fans priority..

we always go with..

Club
Roman
Jose
Legends
Fan Favourites
Players

even Hazard hardly a Fan Favourite yet..

plus you are playing for the money paid by the club not Jose and fans all around the world..if you're heart no longer can follow the list..just go..

but then..Jose are right to point out weakness after weeks of supporting them with their terrible performance and form..

somehow i think the player that rather lose than win for mou is hazard

just my 2 cent

Costa could face 4 games ban after skrtel clash
Everything goes against us

dafuq?? referee saw it and didnt take action. can retrospective ban again??

#costacrimes

It's actually the natural forces of karma and justice at work

How? the ref clearly saw it but did not take any action..retrospective usually when the ref didn't see it

#10 Hazard in kambing. Dun worry guys, I have it under control, will perform next game onwards and score 1 goal and give 1 assist each game.

#InMouWeTrust

edit, lambat dy. LOL.

About Costa's incident. I thot if referee saw the incident and dealt with it on the pitch, then FA can't look at it and give a decision on it? Coz referee has already dealt with the situation. If referee x nampak, then baru FA got power to interfere.

This post has been edited by briantwj: Nov 1 2015, 10:40 PM

damn FA really hates chelsea

n costa, he need to behave a bit la on the field
now everyone want to provoke him n FA want to find his fault
sooner or later i think costa will move to other league
not coz of chelsea but FA

just noticed eva carneiro name is still in the list of management staff...

hmmm for as long as i remember..we always not so good with FA..so the irony is?

Wenger has good relationship with FA, mou should take note in order to keep his job, even though no trophy for 10 years

Told u hazard is shit

Why do I have a feeling the mutiny is caused by someone who's very influential in the dressing room? Who thinks they're a fan favorite due to oversized ego and think they're bigger than the club? Who somehow feels he has a say in who manages the club and what tactics they play?

2 games left for Mou

Report saying Ancelotti interested to come in if Mou is sacked

This post has been edited by ic3aaron: Nov 2 2015, 12:04 AM

He is shit atm but I still believe he will bounce back if he fix his heart in Chelsea...

2 games?
Kiev and stoke?

According to the link, yeah.

"If Chelsea struggle against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and face a group stage exit, the trip to Stoke next Saturday could be decisive for Mourinho.
Abramovich wants to look at the two games, together with Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, before coming to any decision."
-ESPN

Prime candidate rumoured to be Matic. But do take rumours such as these with a pinch of salt. Interesting to read, nothing to take seriously about.

Yes retrospective action is not possible and yes Mark Clattenberg was looking in that direction but just looking in that general direction doesn't mean he managed to spot that specific incident. Question now is what Clattenberg has in his post match report - whether or not he spotted the incident.

Chelsea's embattled Diego Costa to escape FA action over latest clash with Martin Skrtel

Diego Costa will escape any retrospective action over his clash with Martin Skrtel during Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool.

But the Football Association do not plan to take any action because referee Mark Clattenburg witnessed the incident and dealt with it at the time.
Costa was retrospectively banned for three games earlier this season after being caught putting an arm in the face of Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny by television cameras.
Television pundits and ex-referees claimed Costa could be banned again for his clash with Skrtel, but no action will be taken and he will be free to face Stoke City in the Premier League on Saturday.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...tin-Skrtel.html

Hazard will go Real Madrid if mou still be manager?
So many rumors

i think hazard really not happy now

u see his face.last 2 season he always smiling on the pitch
even kena harsh tackle also he's still smiling..kena red card due to kicking ball boy also still smiling

now the face is like his wife is dead

Chelsea's results so bad, how can he be happy?

to think of it how could anyone be happy with the situation that we have now

i tot Ancelotti said he will never come back no matter what?

He just said Chelsea is the toughest club to manage, other than that just assumption of newspapers

yeah i think he just lacking confidence and he also know he playing like shit. dont even know if Real Madrid actually wants him.

any1 read the tabloid yet. Someone from NBC Live 5 said he has connection with our players, and 1 of our players said to him, 'he'll rather lose for Mourinho than win for Mourinho.'

U noe how i see that? Media Bull Shyt. They could not get Mou to say anything during the post match interview, now media trying to stir things up for us again.

Yup... the media is good at it... dun believe 5% of the shit they shove you...

But there's some truth that Mou had lost the dressing room... you can clearly see the lack of motivation on some of the players... haih... but look on the bright side, it's an interesting time to support the club... it's not always you can support a club in their slump and still support them until the end... Have to respect Liverpool and Arsenal's supporter through out these years... and also Man City...

interesting to read

I 'm 70% sure hazard will leave this january based on current situation......

Robben, mata, kdb...... hazard maybe next.....

Damn why would u sold them jose.....

This post has been edited by bluraypirate: Nov 2 2015, 06:04 PM

If players don't wanna leave, Jose won't sell them

"Yet the most disappointing player was Hazard. By the time he came off for young Brazilian Kenedy on 59 minutes, he had managed no shots and attempted just one dribble, which took place inside his own half and failed. This is the same player who pulled off 4.8 take-ons per league game last season, far above the next man on the list, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who managed 3.6. The startling thing here was not that Hazard's dribbling was unsuccessful, but that he tried only one."

http://www.espnfcasia.com/blog/tactics-and...-fail-to-create

rumors that Cuadradro was sold to Juve for thi January transfer around 15mil.

and Mou will be sack after Stoke. ~sigh..

too many rumors..

Even worst now

Lol, Jose personally sack her from the bench?

Well it's mou fault they want to leave......

Look how well they turn out to be today.....

Jose asked Mata but he still wanted to leave, because he cant beat Hazard Oscar and Willian at that moment.

KDB he wanted to leave, Jose blocked the deal, yet club still sell him.

Petr wanted to leave, Jose blocked the deal, yet club still sell him.

Lukaku wanted to leave because Jose cant assure him first team, not exactly setting the world on fire..but fair enough.

Schurrle cant break into trident, sell.

Mou fault? unless playing your best 11 is a crime, then I dont see the problem here.

This post has been edited by Ichighost: Nov 2 2015, 10:39 PM

because of the system, Mou play as a unit attack and defense together...while Benitez play with more freedom..but it will put more pressure on defense.

Salah, Schurrle, Mata, Cuadrado, KDB. All good players but deem not good enough by Mourinho because they don't track back enough? Cuadrado was given half a season?

none of the players at that moment can beat the 3 players selected for the trident..they are good, but not in the top 3 for trident..

and yes, back track is important if you want to play as a unit..you dont play according to player...you set the system and pick the player that suitable with it.

just because a player is good or even great it doesnt mean that they will be the same for your club, any transfer is a toss of coin..only the risk is different.

rather than talking about players leaving, if you want to be fair then you must also discuss on Azpi, Willian, Oscar, Ramires, Courtois and Zouma because they were given those chances that you are talking about.

Pedro was on and off because of injury.

are you talking about Madrid team that beat the great Barcelona side??



player leaving is nothing new..we will find replacement..

it is the truth.

Lukaku wanted to straight away be our first choice, no player is automatic first choice in Chelsea, u nid to prove urself first.

For KDB, almost the same thing, plus his defensive contribution aka track back is not up to Mou's standard. And also KDB not willing to fight for a place with Mata, Oscar, Willian, Hazard.

Mata's case. He does not track back. And that is essentially how Mou play. He wants his players to have high work rate and track back. Yes, he might be a fan favourite, he might have won Chelsea's player of the season award. But Mou's decision proves that he is not totally wrong too, as Chelsea did won the League after selling Mata.

THIS! I would've loved him at Lpool but he is TOO GOOD for a long term rebuilding job more suited to Klopp. I would seriously fear Chelsea if Ancelotti returns to London.

Imma just leave this here...



Do share your feels

Carlo or Jose?

Yes, Mou last season is a mess..but Real should keep him..he laid a solid foundation for Carlo to come and fix a few things for La Decima.

about Willian yes, agree that he is not the most creative player..but Mou always prefer player that work hard for the team.

yes, I agree on your point about leeway being granted to certain player.

Pep is learning from Bayern, about LVG nd Mou..I wont say that they are one dimensional..because Ive seen both of them play ome outstanding counter attacking football, fast paced and deadly.

well Carlo is great, but I prefer Mou personally.

If I am Roman, I'll stay with Mourinho. We can see it as this way. This same group of players, this season lingering at 15th position. How many players in the Chelsea starting 11 would be auto starters in Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Juve? Seriously, I think only Courtois, Azpi. The rest, I dun think is capable of being starting 11 material in top top clubs.

The fact that Mou can win the PL with this group of players, shows that Mou is a good manager. Considering that fact that only 1 or 2 from the starting 11 can walk into the top top club of Madrid, Barca, Bayern. This shows that Chelsea won the league not because of individual brilliance, it's more of a collective thing, how the team defend as a unit, how the team counter attack a unit, how the team starts defending in AMF position (Oscar)

This post has been edited by briantwj: Nov 2 2015, 11:29 PM

let say both of them at their best..Jose can control the outcome of the game, might not be all gungho attacking..but we know that we wont lose, a draw maybe..but win is a must.

for Carlo, we will play some great attacking football, but he cant really control the outcome, if you were found out by opponent..it will be tough and we might lose.

I prefer to have some control over the outcome, than gamble on it.

personally

i like carlo more than jose

Well, at least Azpi is consistent even when played in unfamiliar LB position when he was deputizing for Cole. And the fact that Azpi is able to fend off competition from Ashley Cole, Luis shows that Azpi is quite a solid defender. Plus he is only 26!

o well, maybe I'm just a fanboy of Azpi.

Somehow I always think of Pep as the manager that chose the easy job. Joining Bayern when Bayern is already doin so well. Choosing not to go for PL clubs.

Will u change ur mind if he join us next season?

No! I dun really like his tiki taka style.

Roman fancy it
But he need to splash a lot of money to change the whole team

IF Pep comes, in kambing Thiago, Goetze, Lewandowski, Boateng

just to let you guys know..

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: I'm strong... just like my dad
JOSE MOURINHO is a fighter. Just like his dad.

posted before Liverpool games, Ive heard rumors about this since summer..get well soon JM Sr.

Source :HERE

If Roman can give Mou one season to sort things out before we won the league, I don't see the problem in giving Mou another season to sort things out again.

But as the tabloid said... It is easier to change one person against changing the whole 11 players...

I wonder who is that player who would rather lose than win for Jose... Hopefully it's not one of the starting XI...

The problem with the team now is that we don't have a commanding leader... Terry lost his ways this season... his legs are gone... and so is Ivanovich whom happens to be our deputy captain...

And in the field, even though Terry is the captain, you dun see he pull out the guys when we gets a whipping.

Last season is different because back then we still have Drogba and Cech in the dressing room... Drogba's presence alone change the mood of the team... When he is in the pitch he changed the atmosphere of the field... we lack that kind of player now... whenever our player committed a silly foul or a mistakes, you'll see Drogba talking to them and consoling them... I dun see JT do that because all this years we have players that is doing that... and Cech too...

by losing Lamps, Drogba and Cech we lost the dressing room.... and that's where the problem starts... plus we also lost the fan favourite club doctor.... we are in deep mess now... but it is time us fans endure this... and back Mou for whatever happens...

For Mourinho is the best coach that manage Chelsea.

and talking about Mata, even though he's our best player back then but we never end up winning the league with Mata in our side... of course we won the Champions League.... but not the Premier League... something to ponder on...

so far if we take out under performer from last year line it up will be

Kotua
X-Cahill-X-Azpi
X-X
Willian -X-X
X

Lol.

if all current players perform to their best and we take out older players..it will be

Kotua
Azpi-X-X-Baba
Cesc-Matic
Willian-Oscar-Hazard
Costa

not too bad actually..

wow. great healthy discussion. thumbs up for all of you. This is why I think our thread is the best in this forum.

oh yeah, don't feed the trolls.

Mou receives 1-match stadium ban

as long as they are here to discuss, i think we should be open to it.

Costa to escape FA ban over skrtel clash

Well i would agree that RM, BAYERN, BARCA might not be in for AZPI, even though his defending and work rate is superb but those team would prefer a more attacking RB/LB. But to be fair also, AZPI is playing on the left, so he will be less effective attacking with his weaker foot and JM always prefer 3 defender staying back at all times and IVA is the one given the green light to roam forward.

Seriously he is not helping the team at all, not scoring is one thing but getting red card or ban for that in this moment where the team badly needed the turn around is just selfish IMO.

This post has been edited by chitchat: Nov 3 2015, 09:38 AM

Yep, some more this is an unusual phenomenon.

Problem is apparent on the back.... so, Mou needs to do what Mou knows best... start from the defense.

Start playing Baba and Djiboldji (did I spell his name correct). Zouma is currently in the transition to take over either Terry or Iva's place... He is just lack the experience... but his work rate should see him well... if Mou is game enough, he'll change the off form players. Here's my line-up for experimenting the best combination of formation.

Kortua (right now it's Begovic)
Azpi, Djiboldji, Zouma, Baba
RLC, Rami
Willian, Oscar, Kenedy
Remy

I think the above line up will get us the win with Oscar and Remy interchanging roles... Willian and Kenedy can play both sides (just like Robben and Duff does last time) let Hazard rest for 3 games and will take it from there... If Mou could drop the two times player of the season to the bench, there's no reason why Mou cannot do it now...

He is a master tactician... but I dun think he'll do it.... too much of a risk.

Vs Stoke?

Hopefully can end our misery at Stoke. Highly unlikely though.

Mou lost dy. Some of his sub this season really mindfuck.

Eg: sub Mikel and dave last time. Both doing well defensively. Sub him mighty falcao instead of remy.

Yes

Rumors: hazard, Costa and terry will leave us


This post has been edited by zoidx_chung: Nov 3 2015, 10:01 AM

I kindda understand the subs, because we were trailing..losing 1-2 or 1-3 still 0 pts..so he took the risk and go for it..if our defenders was in top game..they can deal with it..but that was not the case.

This post has been edited by Ichighost: Nov 3 2015, 10:12 AM

Jose Mourinho CAN turn things around at Chelsea, insists former Blues star Frank Lampard

No la... we are chasing the game at 2-1... it's something every manager will do... sub ur defender for a striker... Don't see a problem there... if we are trailing 2-1 and Mou sub Costa for a defender then I say something wrong....

I agree with Lamps. Mourinho is the man. Stand behind him, through thick and THIN.

As Bill Shankly once said "If you can't support us when we lose, dont support us when we win"

Remy did mentioned this before, he's more to running type, not tight space.
Falcao is like target men. fight in tight space, just he's not doing well so far la.
Liv game, after falcao come in. Costa was much drifting wide, falcao at the center.
Tactical wise, this is very clear by that time after Liv leading, they do more defending and player to player preasure.

study some tactic bro, there's a reason for each sub.
trailing behind, of course take out defence and put more attacking player.

I like this~

Remy score few days before the game, still want gamble on falcao. That's not a wise tactic. I understand why he sub a defender for a striker. The problem is he sub in the worst of the 2 striker we hv on the bench. No need to be a tactical genius to know which option is better. Costa can continue in the middle.

Even former players like Lamps are backing Mourinho. Let's see how Roman deals with this. Really really hope Roman dun fire Mou.....AGAIN.

inb4 mutual consent.

This post has been edited by briantwj: Nov 3 2015, 12:36 PM

Yep. No worried about José staying. Worried about Roman sacking. Or mutual consent

Not even sure this traitor in the ranks is a legit story or not. Seems like its only been cooked up after Mourinho got nothing to say to the media. Nothing to sell papers with, so just make up something.

Even if Hazards want to go RM, RM also not really shown much interest in him compared to PSG. And not a must buy target for RM.

u missing the point.
the tactical is for that particular game.

your point is simply on stats, remy score, then remy should play. then might as well u argue why costa start the game.

good..i wish joe cole to comeback.jk

I think it's fair to say that we don't see what Mou sees when the players are training... There's reason why Mou prefer Falcao over Remy... we as fans only saw the 90 minutes.... but outside of the 90 minutes, there is a lot of things that we do not know...

some players are good when come out from the bench and chase the game... and do badly when u start to play him on 90 minutes basis... I think Remy is one of those categories of player... And why Mou prefer Falcao over Remy when we are chasing the game? simple... Falcao is the target man... Only his presence in the middle is not as strong as compare to Drogba or Costa.... Compare to Remy who likes to drift to the side when receiving the ball... we already have our wide players... when Remy occupy the wide spaces, the middle target box is empty... none of our winger likes to cut into the box and fancy a header... none of our winger scores regularly from headers.... so, Falcao over Remy is understandable... and we dun have a fourth striker... even though Kenedy is registered as a striker, he was never deployed as a striker....

This post has been edited by hakka_jin: Nov 3 2015, 03:25 PM

costa > remy, main role

remy > costa, support role

falcao both also lost to costa and remy. pick falcao over remy vs pool is a joke. that guy cant do shit.

exactly my point. substitutions are based on tactical approach for that particular game.

More news on the player that wanted Mou to get sacked... dunno it is believable or not?

Sos cili

I only know other 19 teams' managers want mou to stay
Hahaha

haha. at 1st Hazard, now say is Fabregas. Friday say is Matic. next week is John Terry. after that Tibo.

weed.... year end weed too many stock... need to clear stock.... smoked too much weed... lol

Change to 4--3-3

Bego

Azpi Zouma Terry Baba

Willian RLC Mikel

Oscar Costa Kenedy

Drop under performing players. Grind out the result. Build the confidence first.

I hate when we using the same formation. Others manager already know how to deal with us.
